hey Adam, the big guns are actually the ones that are most easily accessible not just here but in the UK and all other countries as well. The reason is that handguns are portable and concealable, which is what you want if you intend to commit a crime and get away with it. Anybody who walks down the street with an M60 like Rambo will of course be immediately noticed. In the UK as you might not know, you actually can purchase firearms, but you have to leave them at the gun range for sport shooting or something like that, but I know that handguns are available to purchase, but only with a long metal bar with a shoulder press/buttstock end piece attached to the gun. The reason for this is to make them NOT portable and NOT concealable.
@@donnabert so then you must be all in favor of throwing the absentee and/or negligent parents of all the kids in the Chicago war zone into prison on murder charges for the crimes of their kids?
0:43 it's easier to get a shotgun than it is to get a handgun in the United States. Until 9/11, even children could buy shotguns... Because you can get your hunting license at age 11
This reminded me of the Sam Jackson line in Jackie Brown: "Ahhh... AK-47, for when you absolutely, positively, must kill eeeevery motherf%#&er in the rooooooom ...accept no substitutes."
Do we have guns? yes. Do we have many types? yes. That is the most you will really get from most owners. Or I at one time had many but lost them all in an unfortunate boating accident. You can paint them any color you want.
The legendary Clint Smith of Thunder Ranch explains the difference between gun types like this. "Handguns put holes in people, rifles put holes through people, shotguns at the right range with the right load will physically remove a shit from your opponent and throw that chunk of shit to the floor."
@@elultimo102it just simply isn't true. I'm not trying to knock you on that, but just trying to inform. That claim has been made on hundreds of bullets for decades now. Any round meant to deform in a controlled manner does so in soft targets, not hard. There is no magic material currently known to man that can tell the difference between dry wall, brick, glass, or any other hard barrier. It is simply a rock of lead, copper, brass, or an amalgam of metals being hucked at high velocity into a stopping point. Hitting anything will slow a bullet down to a degree, but one fact remains- if it will penetrate a person or animal, it will penetrate a wall. Anything from .22 lr to 20mm Vulcan is in that boat. Some more, some less, but they all have to potential to maim, kill, and yes go through drywall. Hope that helps clear that up for ya.
@@CrashRacknShoot ---I'm going by an in-store display, likely from the '70s, a Lucite block with the projectile shown as an amorphous blob. I believe the claim was that it would penetrate soft tissue, but splatter against a hard surface. Supposedly, it was a "safer" round for use in apartments, or other densely packed areas.
I’m a small, 60 year old woman. After much comparison, I found the 9mm handgun easiest for me to handle. The most difficult was the Judge. I live out in the country in the south. It’s not unusual to hear shots in the near distance of people shooting on their property.
@@gregorygant4242rifles, sure. Shotguns? While one is inherently more accurate with any long gun over a pistol because of the extra points of contact, a shotgun is not known for its long range prowess. That's mainly due to the aerodynamics, known as ballistic coefficient, of the projectiles commonly used in shotguns. I could name a damn long list of pistol rounds, specifically the bullets, that will have a flatter trajectory than standard foster slugs, thus meaning they will in fact travel farther when shot at the same muzzle elevation. Not trying to piss in your cornflakes, just thought I'd give you a little cursory info on that sort of stuff.
@@CrashRacknShoot Well shotguns aren't really accurate just sprayers of lots of shots everywhere hence the term "shot'' guns ! You want an accurate long range ,weapon of defense get yourself a German or Italian made firearm not an American one the Germans and Italians mainly the Germans , were making quality, accurate ,robust ,built like tanks made firearms before Lincoln was assassinated !
@@gregorygant4242 no sir. They are very accurate. There are a ton of variables to that like the type of projectile, the shot cup, the choke used, the length of barrel. But end of the day, 000 or 00 buck shot at about 20 yards is going to open up not much bigger than a fist, or maybe an open hand. Slugs are plenty accurate just like rifles. The difference with slugs compared to rifle bullets is that they will drop much more quickly and the shooter will have to adjust their aim much higher than almost any rifle. But accuracy is not an issue.
@@CrashRacknShoot No wrong , no sniper anywhere will ever use a shotgun they will always use a rifle they are simply more accurate superior in all aspects period . .Any soldier , marine will always to given a rifle to train and shoot from because in combat they are simply far superior to other firearms in range and accuracy.
In Florida we have a 5 day waiting period in a gun shop. I am a 60 y/o woman with poor eyesight. I had to switch from my 9mm Beretta pistol to the Mossberg 500 shotgun because of my vision. I’ve been shooting a rifle since I was about 11 y/o hunting rabbits and squirrels and I was taught never point a gun at someone unless you are going to shoot them. Great reaction! ✌🏻🫶🏻
To answer your question: Yes, 00 buckshot can go completely through a human, and it's considered a proven man-stopper. A fast-moving 00 buckshot load is effective when penetration is desired and overpenetration is not a concern. 00 buckshot can be very effective from 3 yards up to 50 yards or more. The diameter of a typical 00 buckshot pellet is around 8.6mm, and there are 9 pellets in each shotgun shell. So getting shot with one 00 buckshot shell is the equivalent of being shot 9 times with a 9mm handgun.
I compare it to a firing squad. Intruder standing in living room and getting shot across the room with 9 people with 9mm at exactly same split second...sounds devastating...
10:57 you technically can own an rpg, or grenade, etc. but you need to fill out and turn in an atf form 4 with extensive background check and like a $200 “tax stamp”. Same goes with anything fully automatic, technically you need a form 4. You want a suppressor, you also need to fill out a form 4(I personally don’t agree with supressors needing form 4’s because it’s not like the movies or video games. Even with subsonic or supersonic ammo, it is still VERY loud, they basically just make it quiet enough to not blow your ear drums and give you tinnitus if you end up in a situation without ear protection)
You can walk in and buy a gun, but they will run a background check before finalizing the sale. If you have a clean criminal record it usually only takes a few minutes.
Also, depending on what type of gun and what state you purchase it you can have a required gun safety class and mandatory waiting periods sometimes up to 10 days before you can purchase and pick up the gun.
@@budgreen4x4 "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." Where exactly does it say anything about safety classes and waiting periods that seem to bother you? So you're pro school shootings? Pro innocent people shootings because a crazy person might have to wait a few days and take a safety class? If you are against those things then you are NOT a responsible gun owner.
@@nanner3200 what are the requirements to pass to be able to speak that opinion? Speech safety? Maybe you should be required to wait 10 days to respond?
7:44 We typically dont mind telling our trusted friends what types of guns and how many of them we may have, but we definitely dont go sharing that info in random UA-cam comment sections.😂
Same here! So many firearms overboard. Unfortunately I don't even know at what part of the lake they got bounced off at, as we were hopping wakes! Sorry Alpha Tango Foxtrot guy.
As an european im really jealous of how cheap you can get a shotgun for in america😣to be honest we need some freedom over here, we got oil too near norway, lets setup new states overseas.
To answer some questions you had: - No laws on painting guns other than fake/toy guns require an orange tip. - Long guns are simpler to buy than handguns. Some states require a specific "purchase permit" to buy a handgun. - In the south (especially rural areas), plenty of people have no firearms at all but if they do its usually at least 2 handguns, a rifle, and a shotgun minimum if not more. Usually more. Way more.
up here in North Idaho... most people have guns... and it's always "way" more I don't actually know anyone who doesn't... I assume these people exist, but I don't know them LOL
Idk what state your in but I've live in WV, KY, and OH (born in WV, lived in KY for awhile then OH now back to WV) and the ONLY people I've meet that didn't have guns were in OH lol
I'm a retired deputy sheriff and my wife was a reserve deputy. We both carry .45 ACP and she loves to shoot 12 gauge slugs. I'm also retired army and I shoot rifle and pistol competition. At one time I could put 3 rounds into a 4 inch dot at 300 yards. that was not using a scope. It was open sights. Mark
@@oldgeezer3324 It was an M1A. I had it built by a retired marine armorer that lived in Bald Knob, Arkansas. I wish I still had that rifle. I would load all my own ammo, weighing each component including the cases. I shot National Match with it. I was also Governors Twenty in both rifle and pistol in the Oklahoma National Guard. Mark, just another old geezer too.
i completely agree. its crazy how many speak of killing so casually, but at the same time if someone is in your house you should be able defend it in any way
@@JulioConnory Not true! In nature life is actually sacred, you seldom see an animal killing without a reason, Cats perhaps, even big cats will occasionally kill just for the fun but other than them most creatures would rather flee than fight, and most of the time if they DO fight its only long enough to decide a loser and a winner then they part ways.... Except for food, or threats or dominance but seldom do you see killing just for sports etc!
@@oldogre5999You actually believe that? Wolves will run a deer to death because they're tired, otters pin another animal underwater and pleasure themselves on it until it drowns, dolphins have a reputation for a reason, most people who die in shark attacks don't get eaten because great whites don't like how humans taste, and any large herbivores still alive only got that way by assuming anything they see wants to turn them into a snack and responding in kind. And that's not even touching the brutal psychopaths known as "chimpanzees."

We live in Texas and have property, so we have a 38 (hubby), a 9mm (me) and a good shotgun (both). There's no way that I'm making a long drive in Texas alone, especially at night without a gun in the truck. A few years ago my car broke down and I was on the shoulder. A guy stopped and came running up and started trying to open the door and his friend was coming around the front with a crowbar. I shot right through the window at midsection level and they took off. With a laminated window I probably didn't hit him, but you never know.
Some years ago when my step dad was driving trucks my mother had to go pick him up at all hours. She always had a Colt Army 1917 model revolver in .45 laying in the seat next to her. Startled a cop once when she stopped for a traffic accident. We live in Tennessee and this is not uncommon.

Hi Adam, I work in the firearms industry here in one of the more "gun free" states in the US. Regarding the shotgun, buckshot (a few big pellets)/slugs (one large solid projectile) will easily go completely through a person. Smaller loads, like birdshot (lots of small pellets) will "pepper" someone. Its mostly used in bird/small game hunting, but people do load their shotguns with this type of load if they want a less much less severe option.
I started buying guns now that I live alone in a house - turns out guns are really fun to own and shoot... I now have an AK47, a .300blk AR pistol, a shotgun, a revolver, and a .22LR pistol just for funsies. Next on the list is probably a 1911 or a bolt action rifle :D
I have an AR-15 and Glock 43x. If I got 2 more, it would probably be a shotgun of some sort and a Ruger .22 Takedown. So there's basically 3 classification of firearms in the U.S. and an extra category you may be interested in. Semi-auto (or slower) long guns (16+ inch barrel) that require the purchaser to be 18 and pass background check. AR-15 falls in this category. Handgun: Semi auto (or slower) of less than 16 inch barrel and no butt stock (often circumvented with pistol brace) requires purchaser to be 21 and pass background check. Glock falls in this category. Class 3: Fully-automatic, requires additional firearm license. M-4/M-16 falls in this category. Tax-Stamp attachments: Suppressor/Short Barreled Rifle (less than 16" but with buttstock). These require purchaser to pass additional background check and register the device plus pay $200 for each. There's really no such thing as a silencer. Suppressors reduce the sound about 10 decibels and flash signature of a firearm. But you can get pretty close to silent using a suppressor and sub-sonic ammunition. The AR-15 is not great for silent shooting because the small .223/5.56 round uses velocity for energy and thus goes significantly faster than the speed of sound. You can make an AR-15 a lot closer to silent by using a round called .300 Blackout which is heavier and slower (often specifically designed for subsonic shooting), but this is not standard. Additionally, you might have a lot of fun watching the "Demolition Ranch" channel.
@@donnabert no limit, although if your name comes up too often in the background check system, you might be investigated by the ATF or FBI because it appears that you are buying them for criminals who wouldn't pass the background check (called a straw purchase).
@@donnabert It's not so much as how many can you hold... it's more what task are you trying to complete. Hunting rounds are in many calibers depending on the size of the game so it's not a one size firearm for every type of game thing so many different rifles and calibers are standard for most hunters. Defense is a personal thing so many folks choose different calibers and platforms for that... some folks also place weapons around their house as you never knew when/where you may be if someone decides to break into your place. I'm old school in that I choose .45 ACP, .308 and 12 gauge for my personal and home defense and others choose what they like for their homes I'm a strong advocate for continuous training with whatever folks choose because the best firearm for any job is the one you know... also teach firearm discipline to anyone in the household.
there is the 4th type... but it's a bit of an oddity the "Firearm" No stock, so not a rifle No Rifled barrel, so not a pistol and not designed to be shouldered, so not legally a "shotgun", though it fires shot shells they're fun LOL Google: "mossberg Shockwave" or "Henry Axe"
I have watched "Demolition Ranch". They are very good at explaining what each gun can do and from what I have seen, are also very responsible. This is just a thought. Think about it. Yes, we have had those who have used a weapon to injure/kill others, but for the actual number of weapons we possess here (in my opinion) these people are pretty small number.
WOW! WHAT STATE DO YOU LIVE IN? REASON I WANT TO KNOW IS SO I WILL KNOW WHAT STATE NOT TO MOVE TO AND PROBABLY WONT EVER EVEN VISIT! TALK ABOUT A BUNCH OF COMMUNIST BULLSHIT! IN MY STATE WE DON'T NEED NO FKN PERMIT TO CARRY OUT A RIGHT! YOU CAN BUY A LONG GUN FROM ANY DEALER OR EVEN OUT OF THE FOR SALE ADS WITHOUT A BACKGROUND CHECK. I THINK WE DO HAVE TO HAVE BACKGROUND CHECKS FOR HANDGUNS NOW BUT I'VE NEVER HAD ONE NOR NEVER WILL! OH AND WE HAVE NO PERMIT REQUIREMENTS TO WEAR A FIREARM EITHER VISIBLE OR CONCEALED OR OTHERWISE! AND THE BACKGROUND CHECKS ARE UNCONSTITUTIONAL AND SOONER OR LATER THIS INFRINGEMENTS WILL CAUSE THE SECOND CIVIL WAR! JUST YOU WAIT AND SEE! IT'S AMAZING HOW LITTLE THE YOUNGER AMERICANS ACTUALLY UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A RIGHT AND A PRIVILEGE!!! YOUR STATE AND THE FED HAS TURNED YOUR RIGHT TO KEEP AND BEAR ARMS INTO A PRIVILEGE THAT THEY CAN DENY OR CANCEL AT ANY TIME!! WELCOME TO COMMIE LAND USA!!
I own a MP-15 semi automatic rifle. A .45 acp 1911 and a glock 9mm. Fun to go shooting at a range but I got them to protect my self and my family. I have a license to carry.
Great Britain had very few gun laws before 1900, while Ireland was an effective colony, where the subjects had no rights. Guns were more an upper class activity in England, so bills aimed at disarming the lower classes were reinforcing an existing situation. Really, that sort of thing was why the American Colonies revolted. Concord was an attempt by the Crown to seize ammunition.
Oh no it wasn't so much the lack of arms that caused the Colonists to revolt as the being treated like second class citizens the extreme abuse of the "legal system" the over taxation and absurd laws and rules forced on the colonists that "normal" citizens even in the colonies were not subject too! All things that are quickly recurring in the US right now! It's shocking just how many rights American citizens have lost in the last 50 years that they don't even realize they had!! And yes I KNOW how much has been lost! Why? because 50 years ago I was in my 20's already married over 5 years with a couple children, owned my own home, (IN FULL) etc!! I could walk down the street or a highway with a giant six shooter strapped to my side and NO ONE EVEN BLINKED! MOST PEOPLE WAVED AS THEY WENT BY AND PEOPLE WOULD STOP WHAT THEY WERE DOING TO SAY HI AND CHAT! I didn't have to worry about the cops bearing down on me, removing my sidearm AT GUNPOINT! cuffing me (for officer safety) and running my name AND MY GUNS SERIAL NUMBER AND ADDING IT TO THE DATABASE! ALL ON A MAN ACCUSED OF NO CRIMES, WHO IS TOTALLY INNOCENT AND HAS EVERY LEGAL RIGHT TO DO SO! Yet if you choose to go armed and the cops see it or it gets reported you will be ARRESTED (which by the way 50 years ago if you were detained it LITERALLY MEANT YOU COULD NOT LEAVE THE IMMEDIATE AREA... FULL STOP!!!! The cops could not search you, you did not have to give your name or anything else because YOU WERE INNOCENT AND NOT CHARGED OR ACCUSED OF A CRIME YET! The SECOND you were told you were under arrest you were told of the crime and THEN and ONLY THEN YOU WERE CUFFED! CUFFING YOU WAS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT DETERMINED YOU WERE NOW UNDER ARREST! Now they cuff you for nothing more than "officer safety"... So now they have on record that I own at least one gun and may be armed!! (Tell me there is no national gun database!! Oh! by the way, did you know that being a cop in America is one of the safest jobs there is? An American cop does not even make the list of the 25 most dangerous jobs in America!! Being a maintenance man or a grounds keeper or a carpenter or plumber is far more dangerous than being a cop!! Yet all of our rights get suspended for the sake of "officer safety"... Go figure....
The upper class use them for hunting, usually birds in the countryside. But farmers also have them as a pest deterrent. People from other classes can own weapons as long as they meet the same criteria as everyone else. You can’t get one for ‘Self Defence’. That’s why gun ownership and crime is so low in the U.K., and pretty much non existent in towns and cities apart from illegally owned arms. And we’re all grateful for it.
@@Temeraire101 So the “knife crime” scare is not real? The homicide rate is low, but it always was. The actual crime rate is much higher now than in the recent past.
@@tomhalla426 Definitely there is a lot of knife crime, however a lot of it is gang related as it is so difficult even for criminals to get a gun. And in the end what is effective range difference between a knife and a standard AR-15? A fair few hundred yards at least..
@@Temeraire101 Knives suck for self defense. The comment about a knife fight is that the winner goes to the hospital. Your status in the UK is still “subject”.
I have a mossberg 590 as one of my home defense guns. The M16 was one of my first guns to shoot in the military as a very young man. We transitioned to the M4. I own a Ar-15 and use it for target shooting, mostly for nostalgic reasons. I have a 30-06 and a 308 for hunting. I have hollow points in my Sig Sauer in my defense mag. A 9mm with hollow points because hollow points add stopping power and it lessons the chance of the round leaving the target. 9mm is also more affordable than other popular handgun rounds beside the .22. I can practice more with a 9mm which allows me to stay trained if something happens.
Just come to Texas and walk into an average person's home (just make sure you're invited) we are definitely armed and armed well. Not only can you walk in a buy one but if you have your License to Carry here in TX you don't even have to wait for them to call in and run your background check because it's already been done and to a higher degree when you get your LTC.
@ronbivins1323 Yup, still gotta fill out the paperwork but not sitting around hoping the person on the other end of the phone from the FFL can do their job quickly or you get the oh so fun "hold" makes it well worth it.
@budgreen4x4 We have constitutional carry here in TX. You can just get your LTC to carry in a few more places but the bigger reason you get it is so you don't have to wait on the background check on the phone. Walk in, fill out the 4473 and walk out.
We used to have to buy handgun permits in NC but we don’t anymore. We have permitless carry meaning as long as you aren’t crazy or a felon, you can walk in and buy a gun after your background check. It’s a hassle with permits. You have to go to the local sheriffs department and it went up to like $8 but it would take FOREVER to get it done. It was and still is easier just to get your concealed carry license and you can just walk right in and get it since you’re already good on your background
I am poor, we (wife and I) only have 9 firearms, the oldest is around 50 years old. Last was purchased in 2016 for the wife as she was working as a debt collector in an run down area of the city. 2 bodies had been found at different times in her buildings parking lot in the year she worked there. One was dumped the other was likely an OD. I can grab 2 without getting out of bed and if I have time to get up I have 3 more available. All of my guns are loaded with ammo and a round is in the chamber the safeties are off. 2 AR's one 16" barrel and one 24", shotgun 12ga, bolt action rifle, 3 semi-auto pistols and a .22 rifle (Glenfield) with a cheap scope. Grab, point and shoot ready. My little dog is a GSD.
😂 love it! I live in CA but spent my adolescence in TX, so I’m a “Liberal” with guns! I have small I posters on my fence gates: “Nothing in here is worth your life!” 😂😂😂😂😂
This is almost like my favorite scene in 'The Fifth Element" movie when Gary Oldman demonstrates the Zorg ZF-1 pod system to the Mangalores. His weapon even had a flame thrower among the 'oldies but goldies' ensemble.
I live in the deep south. I have a stand up fireproof safe and its interior contents look more like that back wall lol. Id be more spacific but i dont wanna piss off the UA-cam algorithm.
American here. I have a Glock 26. It’s a 9mm handgun designed for concealed carry but it’s basically a compact version of the Glock 19 he showed, which makes it a good all-around home defense weapon as well. I like that the guy in the video emphasized ammo choice for home defense, taking penetrating force into consideration. That to me is extremely important if you’re using the weapon for home defense and I worry that a lot of gun owners don’t consider that as much as they should. I choose low-penetration hollow points that are designed to not penetrate interior walls of homes or vehicle doors for my self/home defense ammunition.
I personally have 3- 9mm handguns(different sizes for different purposes) 1- .22 handgun, 1- 12 gage shotgun, 2- AR's chambered in .223(1 is a DMR), 1- 17 HMR, and 1- .308 long rifle. My husband has more than me, though I'm not listing all of his.
To answer your question about the shot, referred to at 2:00, YES it will go through you. It looks to be 00buck shot which is shooting 9, 9mm projectiles per round. It's basically like a pistol mag dump with one or two trigger pulls and are fantastic for hogs!
@@glenmel78 oh for sure.... 00 is potent no doubt. I ONLY prefer 0000 because it's a bit larger and you usually only lose like a pellet from 00 shell capacity. not much chance for Hog hunting here in North Idaho, or AZ where I lived previously... but I'd probably lean toward an AR pattern if i ever did go... It's certainly hard to beat for Coyotes. My POF Prescott in 6.5CM was my designated "Desert dog" rifle. BUT, it was literally about taking down predators, at distance... not aiming to save skins or meat... because 6.5 on a coyote is, um... "violent". What sort of range are you taking hogs with 00 buck? feels like you'd have to get a bit closer than I'd ever want to be to a wild animal.
@Todrick451 I'm in the sticks of Louisiana. We'll bait a problem area and sit in our tree stands until a sounder comes through. It depends on the situation. For me, a 40-yard shot is pretty typical. If an area has a longer shot, I use my .270, and those shots are usually under 200 yards.
Yeah buddy. I’ve got a handgun, a shotgun, and a carbine for varmint control and home defense. It’s good to take personal responsibility for your own safety and your family’s safety.
“Go into a gun store and buy a shotgun” lol. Dude, shotguns and rifles (a.k.a. Long guns) can be bought at Walmart while you’re buying your groceries at most of their stores! Ammo for everything is available there as well, up to the largest of rifles, or odd ball calibers. Oddly enough, the less lethal but easier to conceal, handguns have to be bought at a gun store, gun show, and in free states like mine ( Tennessee ), I can buy and sell them to / from a person in a parking lot if I want. Or, just build one at home. With an AR variant for example, the lower receiver is the only part that’s considered “the gun”. It’s the one part with a serial number and the one part you have to buy somewhere, or from someone. The rest of the pieces you can get sent right to your front door! Yes, any type of optic can be purchased, again a lot of them from Walmart. Yes, extended magazines, but once you get too big they become very unreliable. Yes, to a suppressor. You have to do some paper work and pay for the tax stamp to get one. The same goes for full automatic (a.k.a. Machine guns), you can own them but it takes more paperwork and money. Now, all the above can, and does vary from state to state. For example, I have a handgun that came with 15 round magazines. It’s legal here, I can even get much larger ones. But, if I drive to a communist state like NY, suddenly that FACTORY magazine is an extended magazine and I’m in trouble. That’s because they limit all semi-automatics there to 10 rounds. There are “normal” guns and “NY, CA,….) various other states compliant guns that come from the factory with the magazines limited, pinned to stop their travel beyond X amount, or just shorter versions. It’s really stupid. The only people that go by it are the law abiding citizens. Criminals don’t care, their guns aren’t legal, most are felons and shouldn’t have them in the first place, they convert them to automatic, and put in the largest magazines they can buy. Then they try to shoot their “homies, yo”, and instead girl a four year old little girl 4 blocks away because they have no idea what their doing, nor respect for human life or the law. The only people hurt and held back by those laws are the people that need them removed the most! I’m a one topic voter pretty much and this one is it. I get pretty upset whenever people start talking limiting gun rights. I was going to take my employer to court over an over reach they were trying to do. They said we couldn’t have guns in our vehicles in the parking lot. I told them they were wrong and I’d fight them over it. I explained that in our state we have the castle doctrine, which says that your home is your castle and you have the right to defend it. Our state’s government also included a provision stating that your car is also part of your “castle” and that it was private property. Therefore what was in it was up to you. My works property starts at the pavement according to that law. They didn’t like that too much. I said you better check with your lawyers or we’re going to have a big problem here and I’m going to win and you are going to owe me a lot of money for trying to stop me exercising my rights. They laughed and said we’ll see. I laughed back and said yeah, we will! Twenty minutes later I got a call from the CEO apologizing to me and he wanted to be sure there wasn’t going to be an issue, but he understood if I felt I needed to sue them for doing it even for a few minutes. I said, as long as an email goes out addressing the error, the new employee manual was corrected and re-released with correct information, then all was fine. He thanked me again and the email and new manual was in a company wide email within the hour. To my surprise I had people emailing and calling me to thank me for doing it. When you hear from a single mother of two little kids, that has an order of protection out against a crazy ex, saying she was scared to death of taking the gun out of the car or loosing her job for trying to keep her and the kids safe…well, it made it all worth every hair I lost that day. She had me in tears man. Guns aren’t for everyone and that’s okay. But there are people that want and need them. Just because some are scared, or don’t understand them, doesn’t mean it’s okay to take them from those that want to keep them.
@@bruiserbong4001 maybe where you live, but not here! Hell, there’s one on the Halls side of Knoxville that sells reloading supplies, dies, cases, case trimmers, primers, presses, tumblers, projectiles and everything down to powder. It’s all name brand stuff too, so maybe we’re just lucky in East Tennessee still I guess.
Like the freedom to send your kids to school and they come home alive? The freedom to pretty much go anywhere and come home alive? I'll take that over your "freedom" to attempt to be a tough guy.
@@nanner3200you say that like it’s an every day occurrence. Of course, not trying to minimize these atrocities. But, you, a non American, poking fun at us, for our gun culture and as a jab in reference to school shootings, is not only distasteful, it is insulting. Just know this. The day your government turns on you and starts to oppress you, you’ll wish you had OUR freedoms.
I grew up in probably one of the most heavily armed states in the union (Montana). Gun racks out in the parking lot were a common sight. If we ever had a school shooter, they wouldn't have survived long enough to get protection from the police. So it just didn't happen. Kids were invited to bring in any broken guns they might have to fix in metal shop. We all survived quite nicely thank U.
For home protection, it's either a 12 gauge pump with buckshot or an AR in 5.56. It will depend on the situation. When away from home I carry a concealed .45acp Colt Combat Commander (1911). Open carry is legal in my state, but I'm not a fan. 🤷♂️
Going into a store to buy a gun was the way it was in England about 100 years ago too. Then the government decided you couldn't be trusted, Adam. LOL!! Do they go through you? My guess is slugs would. Up close there is little difference with bird shot except it probably wouldn't go through you. I have 8 rifles & 2 pistols. People do 'camo' them up. Or 'Care Bears' I supposed. Gum Metal is dark by tradition forgot about the shiny one. Don't sweat the looks.
A question that was asked to a government official . SINCE YOU WANT TO TAKE AWAY OR GUNS HOW ABOUT YOUR SECURITY GIVE UP THERE GUNS FIRST. and as any politician does went on to try justify we they need weapons to protect him and we don't to defend ourselves and our homes. He was laughed at 😆
12 gauge 00 buck shells loaded with nine pellets are loaded stacked three on three on three and when fired from farther than accross the street will fly in a wide pattern but also with at least one "flyer". If you load your own 00 buck load with eight pellets stacked two on two on two on two, you will get a nice pattern with no "flyers".
The Mossberg Maverick 88 12 guage is the gold standard in consumer grade value, milspec design knocked back for civilian use and cost consideration. And a 12 gauge shotgun is probably the best single all around gun to own for general purposes, from snakes to bear, and as a home defender. I have my eyes on a really stupid gun that I want as a trail gun, but it honestly is only cool, not practical.
I live in a good, suburban area in the US, and I have THREE gun stores nearby. I could drive 5-15 minutes, and pick up any of these guns. Oh, and silencers, after 3 day's wait. Insane.
Man, my father gave me my first 12 gauge shotgun when I was 12. Hunting was one of the few things we could do together and not argue. You have to remember, there are LOTS of rural areas in the US. Had I even thought about doing anything stupid with that gun he would have tanned my backside and taken it away. It was a RESPONSIBILITY to take care of it, and to be careful with it.
Color of our guns doesn't matter at all. Yes you can get them colored to whatever you like. And yes, you're right, it is our 2nd Amendment that states that we have the right to bear arms. With the state of the U.S. right now, it is a smart thing to do too, as long as you're properly trained to carry & practice safety. I even carry when riding my motorcycle.
Slight correction. The 2nd doesn't state we have the right to keep and bear arms. It states that the right shall not be infringed, indirectly acknowledging that we had that right inherently, and it is not granted by any government.
slugs Can go through you, Buck shot (the big pellets) Can go through you but will often get stuck internally in organs, the birdshot (small ball bearings) will just pepper the skin and embed below the epidermis
@@TheRagratus Being that he asked if they have to be a “dark color”, id assume he’d want to paint them something other than dark colors. Which isn’t really very camouflage in your home is it?
@@TheRagratus Right? I would personally say, why would you even want to live in a place where you need to own a gun to protect yourself. But I guess that's just a little society/culture difference (and a huge difference, in a negative way, for the US in comparison on the safety index)
@@letheas6175 Agree for the most part. But a good lawyer friend of mine once said that you can come up with many rationales for not having to use a weapon, but still have one for all those situations that you didn't think of.

Here in Idaho you can walk into a store, fill out the federal form that verifies you're not prohibited from owning a firearm and walk out with whatever you bought. Usually takes about 30 minutes total.
I've got a couple handguns. Sig 365., Rock Island .45, I've got an AR-15 fankenbuild, a Mossberg pump, and an M1 from WW2. Realistically I only carry the Sig, and shoot the AR for fun.
The honest answer is, if those buckshot pellets impacted your head, they would not go through you. Your head would reshape itself to move around the pellets.
I’ve got a Winchester 12 gauge pump action, a Winchester .30 gov’t ‘06 bolt action rifle, a Smith & Wesson .357 snubnose revolver, Smith & Wesson .44 magnum revolver, Smith & Wesson 9mm, Smith & Wesson .22, Smith & Wesson .38 snub nose revolver, and a Springfield Armory 1911 .45
500 million guns in the hands of 83 million American Patriots are the reasons we are still free of our homegrown despots and foreign despots chose to leave us alone!
There are typically about 8 pellets that are about 8 mm in diameter in a round of buck shot. And yes depending on how far away you are ALL will probably go through you. It is a devastating round. And yes in the US you can buy any type of firearm that is not fully automatic. Which is depress the trigger once and hold and the gun continues to fire until empty or the trigger is released. Machine guns. We can’t buy those without a permit to do so. But we can buy those as well 😊
I have multiple firearms. I’m from Kentucky and when I was 8 years old I took my.410 shotgun I got for Christmas to school for show and tell. Yes I’m old.
Christ Almighty! If you even took a *picture* of a gun to school now they’d probably call the SWAT Team! (I had gun racks in my pickup in TX all through HS.)
@@drcovell Gun racks were just a given when I was growing up. Kids with rifle racks in their pickup in the school parking lot? No one thought twice about it.
We have different guns but if a guy on the other side of the door hears you cock a shotgun, chances are he’s leaving. Even having a dog is a deterrent. I wouldn’t allow guns in our house til our son was grown and out of the house. My husband travelled extensively so we got guns after I heard about a murder north of where we live several years ago. The guns are safe and we’ve never had to use them….thankfully.
Depending on the state, will depend on what weapons are sold. There are gun stores in every town, and Walmart sales guns as well. FYI...in some states, it is normal to see some people carrying a pistol on their hip doing every day things.
I painted every gun I have to have a custom spray camo pattern. The black coating that comes on most guns is just black because its the cheapest pigment color out there. Black anodizing and paint took over from bluing because its a better scratch resistant finish for utility. A few companies like FN do FDE or Desert Tan on base color but that's more rare. You can order some models in a factory camo pattern. This is particularly popular among Hunting guns.
Wait till you realize we Americans can even own Tanks, Artillery, Fighter Jets, and more. While illegal......we have even had Boy Scouts build nukes in moms garage. lol
There was just a video released from somebody trying to steal a Lamborghini or Ferrari or something out of somebody’s driveway. The guy jumps out of his car runs inside comes back out with an RPG and those guys take off running.
It depends on what State you live. You can't just walk in and buy a gun. It requires some sort of license depending on the type of firearm you're buying, and some states require training before you can buy anything. Suppressors, short barreled rifle, etc fall under the NFA act and they take much complicated and expensive long procedures to purchase.
You HAVE to check out Hickok45. He is the LEGEND of all guns. Hes done every gun you can think of, he fires is, has knowledge about it, gives you great in detail history about it, and of course, shooting things in his backyard is a lot of fun to watch and a great personality.
Texan here. The only thing you can't just go out and buy, at least here in gun-lovin' Texas, is automatic weapons. Anything that fires multiple rounds with one trigger pull is covered under the National Firearms Act and while not totally forbidden, requires an insane amount of paperwork for a citizen to own or use. Those aren't available in your standard run-of-the-mill gun shop like the one I work at. But yeah, pistole, revolvers, shotguns, rifles from the AR-15 semiautomatic to big Elephant guns chambered in 450 Nitro Express are all available at the consumer level. They do require paperwork of course. You fill out your 4473 form and we do have a lot of folks who are not approved if they've got a sketchy background or whatever. It happens. We never want to sell to sketchy people and that is the primary tool used to safeguard guns getting into the hands of the people with bad intent.
I have a 12 gauge Maverick 88, a Charter Arms .38 Special snub nose revolver, a Bersa Thunder .380 semi automatic handgun, and a 762×39 Norinco SKS. I also have a XM-42 Lite flamethrower which funny enough isn't classified as a firearm. 😂
Guns I own, since you asked: I have two 12 guage shotguns, a Glock 26 9mm, a Taurus. 38 special revolver, a Ruger LCP 2 .380, a Heritage Arms .22 revolver, a .22 rifle, a Remington .270 hunting rifle, and a derringer chambered in 45 colt/410. And so many more once I can afford them!
I'm a former combat arms soldier who carries a sidearm routinely (S&W M&P40 typically) when I'm out in public but handguns are underpowered firearms and difficult to shoot accurately at anything other than very short range. Their advantage is they are relatively easy to carry, and conceal, all day long. If I were expecting to get into a gunfight, and I couldn't change my plans for the day, I'd choose a long gun; probably my pump action 12 gauge loaded with heavy buckshot/slugs or AR platform carbine, depending on the range involved and penetration needed...not even a maybe.
The smaller BBs or shot will not go through you but when you get up to the larger ones, called buckshot, can go though you. They are called buckshot because it was used to hunt bucks of whitetail deer. It is only legal to hunt with in some states. The single projectile is called a slug. It will definitely go through you. It is what you can hunt deer with.
Been shooting since a very young age. Sent to marksman club in middle school and still enjoy going to the range. Can go thru hundreds of rounds in one session.
I am an Army Veteran and have a concealed carry permit and I always carry a firearm when I leave my home. I refuse to be a victim. I live 60 miles from the nearest big city and it can take more than an hour for law enforcement to get to my home, so my safety is up to me. My home is in the wooded forest mountains. We have cougar and bear all around us. I've seen a cougar in my yard a few times. So we never go hiking or walking in our small community without a firearm. A gun is just a tool. It can not fire without someone's finger pulling the trigger. Any object can be used as a weapon and take a life including a person's bare hands. A gun is a tool just like a hammer and both can take a life in the hands of someone intending harm. I will continue to carry my firearm everywhere I'm legally allowed to. I was in Scotland in August. The UK is a beautiful country. I hope to visit again sometime.
Multiple options are available for firearm coloration. Yes sniper rifles are available, but most deer hunting rifles are suitable for that. Black powder arms are available as well. We even have bullet making equipment available.
My Maverick 88 cost $219.00 last year. It's loaded with nine 1 3/4 inch Federal "Shorty" 00 buckshot (6 pellets). Guns don't have to be black. I have a .22LR KelTec P17 and a 9mm S&W M&P9 5" in Flat Dark Earth (You can call it "tan.") I don't have a .45 ACP carbine, mine's a 9mm by Grand Power and has an arm brace, so it's a pistol. My primary carry pistol is a 3.1" barreled Sig Sauer P365X with a red dot & a 600 lumen weapon light with 12 and 17 round magazines.
I've got a Browning A5 Ultimate 12ga semi-auto shotgun. Wonderful gun. I also have several long-guns for hunting. I don't actually own a handgun at the moment, although I have looked at The Judge with the .410 shells as another possibility. I find the shotgun to be the perfect home protection weapon for me.
We can legally own= machine guns, mortars, flamethrowers,tanks, surface to air missiles, I had an ad for retired jet fighters, and someone bought a warship. Paperwork and money, jurisdiction certainly a thing. We can own it all. Built our own guns since the 1600’s legally. Nobody really knows how many guns in the country ? Appreciate yer interest.
Yes you can buy firearms in different colors or you take to someone, usually a gunsmith, and the use a Cerakote finish in huge selection of colors. It is sprayed on and then baked. White, purple pink, camouflage, snake skin pattern. So many styles and colors.
You can buy any of these guns if you pass a test or two depending on the firearm and a background check. There is no where in the US that you can buy a gun and take it home the same day. Even if you got to a gun show it still need to go to a licensed dealer to pick it up after the background check.
I’ve got a fair amount of weapons at home. I do have a Glock 19, but I also have a Taurus 9mm and an old Ithaca 1911 .45 handgun that’s over 50 years old, and still fires beautifully! Not to mention I’ve been collecting bladed weapons for 35 years; so a sizable amount of swords, knives, even a few one handed warhammers; all of which are perfectly legal to own and carry in my state for self defense.
Basically the only restrictions (however illogical) is against fully automatic weapons produced after 1986 unless you’re a federally licensed manufacturer (which almost anyone can be, it’s just paperwork). Rifles with barrels under 16”, suppressors, etc require NFA tax stamps. Then the laws vary state by state as well, even though the constitutionality of most of those laws is constantly under challenge… it has to get all the way up the circuit or supreme courts to affect the country in a major way.
LIVE RIGHT NOW, COME SAY HI! www.twitch.tv/adamcouser
hey Adam, the big guns are actually the ones that are most easily accessible not just here but in the UK and all other countries as well. The reason is that handguns are portable and concealable, which is what you want if you intend to commit a crime and get away with it. Anybody who walks down the street with an M60 like Rambo will of course be immediately noticed. In the UK as you might not know, you actually can purchase firearms, but you have to leave them at the gun range for sport shooting or something like that, but I know that handguns are available to purchase, but only with a long metal bar with a shoulder press/buttstock end piece attached to the gun. The reason for this is to make them NOT portable and NOT concealable.
You should check out Black Rambo and his collection of guns every color of the rainbow 😂

“But it’s gotta be the right load at the right range!”
There was a pistol / revolver round which used powdered lead for the projectile. It would penetrate a carcass, but not a wall.
@@elultimo102it just simply isn't true. I'm not trying to knock you on that, but just trying to inform. That claim has been made on hundreds of bullets for decades now. Any round meant to deform in a controlled manner does so in soft targets, not hard. There is no magic material currently known to man that can tell the difference between dry wall, brick, glass, or any other hard barrier. It is simply a rock of lead, copper, brass, or an amalgam of metals being hucked at high velocity into a stopping point. Hitting anything will slow a bullet down to a degree, but one fact remains- if it will penetrate a person or animal, it will penetrate a wall. Anything from .22 lr to 20mm Vulcan is in that boat. Some more, some less, but they all have to potential to maim, kill, and yes go through drywall.
Hope that helps clear that up for ya.
@@CrashRacknShoot ---I'm going by an in-store display, likely from the '70s, a Lucite block with the projectile shown as an amorphous blob. I believe the claim was that it would penetrate soft tissue, but splatter against a hard surface. Supposedly, it was a "safer" round for use in apartments, or other densely packed areas.
It's the US. You can paint it whatever color you want. It's a free country.
I live in the slave state of Connecticut. I wish I could say the same.
Eh. More free in certain areas, less in others. Guns? Yes.
I’m a small, 60 year old woman. After much comparison, I found the 9mm handgun easiest for me to handle. The most difficult was the Judge. I live out in the country in the south. It’s not unusual to hear shots in the near distance of people shooting on their property.
9mm handgun is good for personal defense, small, easily , carried concealed it just doesn't have a big range like a shotgun or rifle has.
@@gregorygant4242rifles, sure. Shotguns? While one is inherently more accurate with any long gun over a pistol because of the extra points of contact, a shotgun is not known for its long range prowess. That's mainly due to the aerodynamics, known as ballistic coefficient, of the projectiles commonly used in shotguns. I could name a damn long list of pistol rounds, specifically the bullets, that will have a flatter trajectory than standard foster slugs, thus meaning they will in fact travel farther when shot at the same muzzle elevation.
Not trying to piss in your cornflakes, just thought I'd give you a little cursory info on that sort of stuff.
@@CrashRacknShoot Well shotguns aren't really accurate just sprayers of lots of shots everywhere hence the term "shot'' guns !
You want an accurate long range ,weapon of defense get yourself a German or Italian made firearm not an American one the Germans and Italians mainly the Germans , were making quality, accurate ,robust ,built like tanks made firearms before Lincoln was assassinated !
@@gregorygant4242 no sir. They are very accurate. There are a ton of variables to that like the type of projectile, the shot cup, the choke used, the length of barrel. But end of the day, 000 or 00 buck shot at about 20 yards is going to open up not much bigger than a fist, or maybe an open hand. Slugs are plenty accurate just like rifles. The difference with slugs compared to rifle bullets is that they will drop much more quickly and the shooter will have to adjust their aim much higher than almost any rifle. But accuracy is not an issue.
@@CrashRacknShoot No wrong , no sniper anywhere will ever use a shotgun they will always use a rifle they are simply more accurate superior in all aspects period .
.Any soldier , marine will always to given a rifle to train and shoot from because in combat they are simply far superior to other firearms in range and accuracy.
In Florida we have a 5 day waiting period in a gun shop. I am a 60 y/o woman with poor eyesight. I had to switch from my 9mm Beretta pistol to the Mossberg 500 shotgun because of my vision. I’ve been shooting a rifle since I was about 11 y/o hunting rabbits and squirrels and I was taught never point a gun at someone unless you are going to shoot them. Great reaction! ✌🏻🫶🏻
There is only a waiting period if you don’t have your license to carry.. Then you just pick out your gun, run the background check and pay the man..
TN….no waiting….cept the 5-10 mins for background check.
@@termodog7951 Brits would seriously freak out if they went in Benton Shooter’s Supply in Benton, TN. I love that store.
To answer your question:
Yes, 00 buckshot can go completely through a human, and it's considered a proven man-stopper. A fast-moving 00 buckshot load is effective when penetration is desired and overpenetration is not a concern. 00 buckshot can be very effective from 3 yards up to 50 yards or more. The diameter of a typical 00 buckshot pellet is around 8.6mm, and there are 9 pellets in each shotgun shell. So getting shot with one 00 buckshot shell is the equivalent of being shot 9 times with a 9mm handgun.
I compare it to a firing squad. Intruder standing in living room and getting shot across the room with 9 people with 9mm at exactly same split second...sounds devastating...
Thats not quite how the balistics work, but close.
And then there are 12 or 15 pellet shells lol
10:57 you technically can own an rpg, or grenade, etc. but you need to fill out and turn in an atf form 4 with extensive background check and like a $200 “tax stamp”. Same goes with anything fully automatic, technically you need a form 4. You want a suppressor, you also need to fill out a form 4(I personally don’t agree with supressors needing form 4’s because it’s not like the movies or video games. Even with subsonic or supersonic ammo, it is still VERY loud, they basically just make it quiet enough to not blow your ear drums and give you tinnitus if you end up in a situation without ear protection)
You can walk in and buy a gun, but they will run a background check before finalizing the sale. If you have a clean criminal record it usually only takes a few minutes.
That has now, like everything ELSE Govt./Courts/Law Enfarcement controls, degenerated into WEEKS.
That's our fault.

To answer some questions you had:
- No laws on painting guns other than fake/toy guns require an orange tip.
- Long guns are simpler to buy than handguns. Some states require a specific "purchase permit" to buy a handgun.
- In the south (especially rural areas), plenty of people have no firearms at all but if they do its usually at least 2 handguns, a rifle, and a shotgun minimum if not more. Usually more. Way more.

Hi Adam, I work in the firearms industry here in one of the more "gun free" states in the US. Regarding the shotgun, buckshot (a few big pellets)/slugs (one large solid projectile) will easily go completely through a person. Smaller loads, like birdshot (lots of small pellets) will "pepper" someone. Its mostly used in bird/small game hunting, but people do load their shotguns with this type of load if they want a less much less severe option.
Unfortunately, I lost all my firearms in an unfortunate boating accident. 👀
such a shame when that happens, glad to see you had your life vest on.
Same happened to me. I blame them hurricanes pushing up that warm weather
Those darn boating accidents. Claiming the lives of personal firearms country-wide.

YOU TOO? It's like a pandemic.....
I started buying guns now that I live alone in a house - turns out guns are really fun to own and shoot... I now have an AK47, a .300blk AR pistol, a shotgun, a revolver, and a .22LR pistol just for funsies. Next on the list is probably a 1911 or a bolt action rifle :D
I have an AR-15 and Glock 43x. If I got 2 more, it would probably be a shotgun of some sort and a Ruger .22 Takedown.
So there's basically 3 classification of firearms in the U.S. and an extra category you may be interested in.
Semi-auto (or slower) long guns (16+ inch barrel) that require the purchaser to be 18 and pass background check. AR-15 falls in this category.
Handgun: Semi auto (or slower) of less than 16 inch barrel and no butt stock (often circumvented with pistol brace) requires purchaser to be 21 and pass background check. Glock falls in this category.
Class 3: Fully-automatic, requires additional firearm license. M-4/M-16 falls in this category.
Tax-Stamp attachments: Suppressor/Short Barreled Rifle (less than 16" but with buttstock). These require purchaser to pass additional background check and register the device plus pay $200 for each.
There's really no such thing as a silencer. Suppressors reduce the sound about 10 decibels and flash signature of a firearm. But you can get pretty close to silent using a suppressor and sub-sonic ammunition. The AR-15 is not great for silent shooting because the small .223/5.56 round uses velocity for energy and thus goes significantly faster than the speed of sound. You can make an AR-15 a lot closer to silent by using a round called .300 Blackout which is heavier and slower (often specifically designed for subsonic shooting), but this is not standard.
Additionally, you might have a lot of fun watching the "Demolition Ranch" channel.
@@donnabert no limit, although if your name comes up too often in the background check system, you might be investigated by the ATF or FBI because it appears that you are buying them for criminals who wouldn't pass the background check (called a straw purchase).
@@donnabert It's not so much as how many can you hold... it's more what task are you trying to complete. Hunting rounds are in many calibers depending on the size of the game so it's not a one size firearm for every type of game thing so many different rifles and calibers are standard for most hunters. Defense is a personal thing so many folks choose different calibers and platforms for that... some folks also place weapons around their house as you never knew when/where you may be if someone decides to break into your place. I'm old school in that I choose .45 ACP, .308 and 12 gauge for my personal and home defense and others choose what they like for their homes I'm a strong advocate for continuous training with whatever folks choose because the best firearm for any job is the one you know... also teach firearm discipline to anyone in the household.
there is the 4th type... but it's a bit of an oddity
the "Firearm"
No stock, so not a rifle
No Rifled barrel, so not a pistol
and not designed to be shouldered, so not legally a "shotgun", though it fires shot shells
they're fun LOL
Google: "mossberg Shockwave" or "Henry Axe"
I have watched "Demolition Ranch". They are very good at explaining what each gun can do and from what I have seen, are also very responsible.
This is just a thought. Think about it. Yes, we have had those who have used a weapon to injure/kill others, but for the actual number of weapons we possess here (in my opinion) these people are pretty small number.
WOW! WHAT STATE DO YOU LIVE IN? REASON I WANT TO KNOW IS SO I WILL KNOW WHAT STATE NOT TO MOVE TO AND PROBABLY WONT EVER EVEN VISIT! TALK ABOUT A BUNCH OF COMMUNIST BULLSHIT! IN MY STATE WE DON'T NEED NO FKN PERMIT TO CARRY OUT A RIGHT! YOU CAN BUY A LONG GUN FROM ANY DEALER OR EVEN OUT OF THE FOR SALE ADS WITHOUT A BACKGROUND CHECK. I THINK WE DO HAVE TO HAVE BACKGROUND CHECKS FOR HANDGUNS NOW BUT I'VE NEVER HAD ONE NOR NEVER WILL! OH AND WE HAVE NO PERMIT REQUIREMENTS TO WEAR A FIREARM EITHER VISIBLE OR CONCEALED OR OTHERWISE! AND THE BACKGROUND CHECKS ARE UNCONSTITUTIONAL AND SOONER OR LATER THIS INFRINGEMENTS WILL CAUSE THE SECOND CIVIL WAR! JUST YOU WAIT AND SEE!
IT'S AMAZING HOW LITTLE THE YOUNGER AMERICANS ACTUALLY UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A RIGHT AND A PRIVILEGE!!! YOUR STATE AND THE FED HAS TURNED YOUR RIGHT TO KEEP AND BEAR ARMS INTO A PRIVILEGE THAT THEY CAN DENY OR CANCEL AT ANY TIME!! WELCOME TO COMMIE LAND USA!!
I own a MP-15 semi automatic rifle. A .45 acp 1911 and a glock 9mm. Fun to go shooting at a range but I got them to protect my self and my family. I have a license to carry.
Great Britain had very few gun laws before 1900, while Ireland was an effective colony, where the subjects had no rights. Guns were more an upper class activity in England, so bills aimed at disarming the lower classes were reinforcing an existing situation.
Really, that sort of thing was why the American Colonies revolted. Concord was an attempt by the Crown to seize ammunition.
Oh no it wasn't so much the lack of arms that caused the Colonists to revolt as the being treated like second class citizens the extreme abuse of the "legal system" the over taxation and absurd laws and rules forced on the colonists that "normal" citizens even in the colonies were not subject too! All things that are quickly recurring in the US right now! It's shocking just how many rights American citizens have lost in the last 50 years that they don't even realize they had!! And yes I KNOW how much has been lost! Why? because 50 years ago I was in my 20's already married over 5 years with a couple children, owned my own home, (IN FULL) etc!!
I could walk down the street or a highway with a giant six shooter strapped to my side and NO ONE EVEN BLINKED! MOST PEOPLE WAVED AS THEY WENT BY AND PEOPLE WOULD STOP WHAT THEY WERE DOING TO SAY HI AND CHAT! I didn't have to worry about the cops bearing down on me, removing my sidearm AT GUNPOINT! cuffing me (for officer safety) and running my name AND MY GUNS SERIAL NUMBER AND ADDING IT TO THE DATABASE! ALL ON A MAN ACCUSED OF NO CRIMES, WHO IS TOTALLY INNOCENT AND HAS EVERY LEGAL RIGHT TO DO SO! Yet if you choose to go armed and the cops see it or it gets reported you will be ARRESTED (which by the way 50 years ago if you were detained it LITERALLY MEANT YOU COULD NOT LEAVE THE IMMEDIATE AREA... FULL STOP!!!! The cops could not search you, you did not have to give your name or anything else because YOU WERE INNOCENT AND NOT CHARGED OR ACCUSED OF A CRIME YET! The SECOND you were told you were under arrest you were told of the crime and THEN and ONLY THEN YOU WERE CUFFED! CUFFING YOU WAS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT DETERMINED YOU WERE NOW UNDER ARREST! Now they cuff you for nothing more than "officer safety"...
So now they have on record that I own at least one gun and may be armed!! (Tell me there is no national gun database!!
Oh! by the way, did you know that being a cop in America is one of the safest jobs there is? An American cop does not even make the list of the 25 most dangerous jobs in America!! Being a maintenance man or a grounds keeper or a carpenter or plumber is far more dangerous than being a cop!! Yet all of our rights get suspended for the sake of "officer safety"... Go figure....
The upper class use them for hunting, usually birds in the countryside. But farmers also have them as a pest deterrent. People from other classes can own weapons as long as they meet the same criteria as everyone else. You can’t get one for ‘Self Defence’. That’s why gun ownership and crime is so low in the U.K., and pretty much non existent in towns and cities apart from illegally owned arms. And we’re all grateful for it.
@@Temeraire101 So the “knife crime” scare is not real? The homicide rate is low, but it always was. The actual crime rate is much higher now than in the recent past.
@@tomhalla426 Definitely there is a lot of knife crime, however a lot of it is gang related as it is so difficult even for criminals to get a gun. And in the end what is effective range difference between a knife and a standard AR-15? A fair few hundred yards at least..
@@Temeraire101 Knives suck for self defense. The comment about a knife fight is that the winner goes to the hospital. Your status in the UK is still “subject”.
I have a mossberg 590 as one of my home defense guns. The M16 was one of my first guns to shoot in the military as a very young man. We transitioned to the M4. I own a Ar-15 and use it for target shooting, mostly for nostalgic reasons. I have a 30-06 and a 308 for hunting. I have hollow points in my Sig Sauer in my defense mag. A 9mm with hollow points because hollow points add stopping power and it lessons the chance of the round leaving the target. 9mm is also more affordable than other popular handgun rounds beside the .22. I can practice more with a 9mm which allows me to stay trained if something happens.
Just come to Texas and walk into an average person's home (just make sure you're invited) we are definitely armed and armed well. Not only can you walk in a buy one but if you have your License to Carry here in TX you don't even have to wait for them to call in and run your background check because it's already been done and to a higher degree when you get your LTC.
Yeah im a license to carry instructor in texas as well as LTC holder and I fill out the same fed forms as everyone else.
@ronbivins1323 Yup, still gotta fill out the paperwork but not sitting around hoping the person on the other end of the phone from the FFL can do their job quickly or you get the oh so fun "hold" makes it well worth it.
@@HalfUnder they aren't constitutional carry yet? Guess I'll stay in the freer state of Ohio
@budgreen4x4 We have constitutional carry here in TX. You can just get your LTC to carry in a few more places but the bigger reason you get it is so you don't have to wait on the background check on the phone. Walk in, fill out the 4473 and walk out.
We used to have to buy handgun permits in NC but we don’t anymore. We have permitless carry meaning as long as you aren’t crazy or a felon, you can walk in and buy a gun after your background check. It’s a hassle with permits. You have to go to the local sheriffs department and it went up to like $8 but it would take FOREVER to get it done. It was and still is easier just to get your concealed carry license and you can just walk right in and get it since you’re already good on your background
I am poor, we (wife and I) only have 9 firearms, the oldest is around 50 years old. Last was purchased in 2016 for the wife as she was working as a debt collector in an run down area of the city. 2 bodies had been found at different times in her buildings parking lot in the year she worked there. One was dumped the other was likely an OD. I can grab 2 without getting out of bed and if I have time to get up I have 3 more available. All of my guns are loaded with ammo and a round is in the chamber the safeties are off. 2 AR's one 16" barrel and one 24", shotgun 12ga, bolt action rifle, 3 semi-auto pistols and a .22 rifle (Glenfield) with a cheap scope. Grab, point and shoot ready. My little dog is a GSD.
Two .410 shotguns, one 12 gauge shotgun, two 9mm handguns and a .22 caliber revolver. I'm considered a light weight around here 😄
😂 love it! I live in CA but spent my adolescence in TX, so I’m a “Liberal” with guns! I have small I posters on my fence gates: “Nothing in here is worth your life!”

I have more weapons now than I did when I was in the Marine Corps
😂 lightweight i love it!! i don't hold a candle to my older brothers
This is almost like my favorite scene in 'The Fifth Element" movie when Gary Oldman demonstrates the Zorg ZF-1 pod system to the Mangalores. His weapon even had a flame thrower among the 'oldies but goldies' ensemble.

Every gun on that shelf you can buy. (30% of those guns are truck guns also)👍
I live in the deep south. I have a stand up fireproof safe and its interior contents look more like that back wall lol. Id be more spacific but i dont wanna piss off the UA-cam algorithm.
Right?
American here. I have a Glock 26. It’s a 9mm handgun designed for concealed carry but it’s basically a compact version of the Glock 19 he showed, which makes it a good all-around home defense weapon as well.
I like that the guy in the video emphasized ammo choice for home defense, taking penetrating force into consideration. That to me is extremely important if you’re using the weapon for home defense and I worry that a lot of gun owners don’t consider that as much as they should.
I choose low-penetration hollow points that are designed to not penetrate interior walls of homes or vehicle doors for my self/home defense ammunition.
Even Dave Chappelle used the exact term "pepper". It is the nicest way people here say it, usually we use worse than that in private company lol
I personally have 3- 9mm handguns(different sizes for different purposes) 1- .22 handgun, 1- 12 gage shotgun, 2- AR's chambered in .223(1 is a DMR), 1- 17 HMR, and 1- .308 long rifle. My husband has more than me, though I'm not listing all of his.
To answer your question about the shot, referred to at 2:00, YES it will go through you. It looks to be 00buck shot which is shooting 9, 9mm projectiles per round. It's basically like a pistol mag dump with one or two trigger pulls and are fantastic for hogs!
00 buck is 8.38mm
I'm a fan of 0000 buck.... 9.14mm
@Todrick451 you are right about the size of 00 buck, but it's close enough for me 😆 and hella effective on hogs!
@@glenmel78 oh for sure.... 00 is potent no doubt.
I ONLY prefer 0000 because it's a bit larger and you usually only lose like a pellet from 00 shell capacity.
not much chance for Hog hunting here in North Idaho, or AZ where I lived previously... but I'd probably lean toward an AR pattern if i ever did go... It's certainly hard to beat for Coyotes. My POF Prescott in 6.5CM was my designated "Desert dog" rifle.
BUT, it was literally about taking down predators, at distance... not aiming to save skins or meat... because 6.5 on a coyote is, um... "violent".
What sort of range are you taking hogs with 00 buck? feels like you'd have to get a bit closer than I'd ever want to be to a wild animal.
@Todrick451 I'm in the sticks of Louisiana. We'll bait a problem area and sit in our tree stands until a sounder comes through. It depends on the situation. For me, a 40-yard shot is pretty typical. If an area has a longer shot, I use my .270, and those shots are usually under 200 yards.
Ask nirvana guy. 1:55
Horrible my friend
Omg lol I'm dead. I died.
Yeah buddy. I’ve got a handgun, a shotgun, and a carbine for varmint control and home defense. It’s good to take personal responsibility for your own safety and your family’s safety.
"Shotgun - rifle and a 4 wheel drive. A country boy can survive." Amen.
“Go into a gun store and buy a shotgun” lol. Dude, shotguns and rifles (a.k.a. Long guns) can be bought at Walmart while you’re buying your groceries at most of their stores! Ammo for everything is available there as well, up to the largest of rifles, or odd ball calibers. Oddly enough, the less lethal but easier to conceal, handguns have to be bought at a gun store, gun show, and in free states like mine ( Tennessee ), I can buy and sell them to / from a person in a parking lot if I want. Or, just build one at home. With an AR variant for example, the lower receiver is the only part that’s considered “the gun”. It’s the one part with a serial number and the one part you have to buy somewhere, or from someone. The rest of the pieces you can get sent right to your front door!
Yes, any type of optic can be purchased, again a lot of them from Walmart.
Yes, extended magazines, but once you get too big they become very unreliable.
Yes, to a suppressor. You have to do some paper work and pay for the tax stamp to get one.
The same goes for full automatic (a.k.a. Machine guns), you can own them but it takes more paperwork and money.
Now, all the above can, and does vary from state to state. For example, I have a handgun that came with 15 round magazines. It’s legal here, I can even get much larger ones. But, if I drive to a communist state like NY, suddenly that FACTORY magazine is an extended magazine and I’m in trouble. That’s because they limit all semi-automatics there to 10 rounds. There are “normal” guns and “NY, CA,….) various other states compliant guns that come from the factory with the magazines limited, pinned to stop their travel beyond X amount, or just shorter versions. It’s really stupid. The only people that go by it are the law abiding citizens. Criminals don’t care, their guns aren’t legal, most are felons and shouldn’t have them in the first place, they convert them to automatic, and put in the largest magazines they can buy. Then they try to shoot their “homies, yo”, and instead girl a four year old little girl 4 blocks away because they have no idea what their doing, nor respect for human life or the law. The only people hurt and held back by those laws are the people that need them removed the most! I’m a one topic voter pretty much and this one is it. I get pretty upset whenever people start talking limiting gun rights. I was going to take my employer to court over an over reach they were trying to do. They said we couldn’t have guns in our vehicles in the parking lot. I told them they were wrong and I’d fight them over it. I explained that in our state we have the castle doctrine, which says that your home is your castle and you have the right to defend it. Our state’s government also included a provision stating that your car is also part of your “castle” and that it was private property. Therefore what was in it was up to you. My works property starts at the pavement according to that law. They didn’t like that too much. I said you better check with your lawyers or we’re going to have a big problem here and I’m going to win and you are going to owe me a lot of money for trying to stop me exercising my rights. They laughed and said we’ll see. I laughed back and said yeah, we will! Twenty minutes later I got a call from the CEO apologizing to me and he wanted to be sure there wasn’t going to be an issue, but he understood if I felt I needed to sue them for doing it even for a few minutes. I said, as long as an email goes out addressing the error, the new employee manual was corrected and re-released with correct information, then all was fine. He thanked me again and the email and new manual was in a company wide email within the hour. To my surprise I had people emailing and calling me to thank me for doing it. When you hear from a single mother of two little kids, that has an order of protection out against a crazy ex, saying she was scared to death of taking the gun out of the car or loosing her job for trying to keep her and the kids safe…well, it made it all worth every hair I lost that day. She had me in tears man. Guns aren’t for everyone and that’s okay. But there are people that want and need them. Just because some are scared, or don’t understand them, doesn’t mean it’s okay to take them from those that want to keep them.
Walmart hasn't sold guns or ammo or gun accessories in YEARS. What are you talking about? 😂
Wrong! It’s not the 90s anymore buddy. Good luck finding anything at Walmart anymore. They don’t even carry most types of ammo anymore.

I grew up in probably one of the most heavily armed states in the union (Montana). Gun racks out in the parking lot were a common sight. If we ever had a school shooter, they wouldn't have survived long enough to get protection from the police. So it just didn't happen. Kids were invited to bring in any broken guns they might have to fix in metal shop. We all survived quite nicely thank U.
For home protection, it's either a 12 gauge pump with buckshot or an AR in 5.56. It will depend on the situation. When away from home I carry a concealed .45acp Colt Combat Commander (1911). Open carry is legal in my state, but I'm not a fan. 🤷♂️

12 gauge 00 buck shells loaded with nine pellets are loaded stacked three on three on three and when fired from farther than accross the street will fly in a wide pattern but also with at least one "flyer". If you load your own 00 buck load with eight pellets stacked two on two on two on two, you will get a nice pattern with no "flyers".
The Mossberg Maverick 88 12 guage is the gold standard in consumer grade value, milspec design knocked back for civilian use and cost consideration. And a 12 gauge shotgun is probably the best single all around gun to own for general purposes, from snakes to bear, and as a home defender. I have my eyes on a really stupid gun that I want as a trail gun, but it honestly is only cool, not practical.
I live in a good, suburban area in the US, and I have THREE gun stores nearby. I could drive 5-15 minutes, and pick up any of these guns. Oh, and silencers, after 3 day's wait. Insane.

Man, my father gave me my first 12 gauge shotgun when I was 12. Hunting was one of the few things we could do together and not argue. You have to remember, there are LOTS of rural areas in the US. Had I even thought about doing anything stupid with that gun he would have tanned my backside and taken it away. It was a RESPONSIBILITY to take care of it, and to be careful with it.
Color of our guns doesn't matter at all. Yes you can get them colored to whatever you like.
And yes, you're right, it is our 2nd Amendment that states that we have the right to bear arms.
With the state of the U.S. right now, it is a smart thing to do too, as long as you're properly trained to carry
& practice safety. I even carry when riding my motorcycle.
Slight correction. The 2nd doesn't state we have the right to keep and bear arms.
It states that the right shall not be infringed, indirectly acknowledging that we had that right inherently, and it is not granted by any government.
Acknowledged & Correct. Thank you.

Also get practice with all of them (save the rifle cause need to find a range for it) every 4-6 weeks
As it should be. The more freedom pills, the better.
There are typically about 8 pellets that are about 8 mm in diameter in a round of buck shot. And yes depending on how far away you are ALL will probably go through you. It is a devastating round. And yes in the US you can buy any type of firearm that is not fully automatic. Which is depress the trigger once and hold and the gun continues to fire until empty or the trigger is released. Machine guns. We can’t buy those without a permit to do so. But we can buy those as well 😊
I have multiple firearms. I’m from Kentucky and when I was 8 years old I took my.410 shotgun I got for Christmas to school for show and tell. Yes I’m old.
Christ Almighty! If you even took a *picture* of a gun to school now they’d probably call the SWAT Team! (I had gun racks in my pickup in TX all through HS.)
Why couldn't I be alive back THEN? 😢
@@drcovell Gun racks were just a given when I was growing up. Kids with rifle racks in their pickup in the school parking lot? No one thought twice about it.
Shotguns put BIG holes in the target. At close range they can come out the back as well but mostly they'll go in and be all over the inside.
We have different guns but if a guy on the other side of the door hears you cock a shotgun, chances are he’s leaving. Even having a dog is a deterrent. I wouldn’t allow guns in our house til our son was grown and out of the house. My husband travelled extensively so we got guns after I heard about a murder north of where we live several years ago. The guns are safe and we’ve never had to use them….thankfully.
Depending on the state, will depend on what weapons are sold. There are gun stores in every town, and Walmart sales guns as well. FYI...in some states, it is normal to see some people carrying a pistol on their hip doing every day things.
Here in America you can buy that shotgun at your local Walmart, and that's no joke
It depends on the state
I painted every gun I have to have a custom spray camo pattern. The black coating that comes on most guns is just black because its the cheapest pigment color out there. Black anodizing and paint took over from bluing because its a better scratch resistant finish for utility. A few companies like FN do FDE or Desert Tan on base color but that's more rare. You can order some models in a factory camo pattern. This is particularly popular among Hunting guns.
Wait till you realize we Americans can even own Tanks, Artillery, Fighter Jets, and more. While illegal......we have even had Boy Scouts build nukes in moms garage. lol
Brit’s can own tanks too
I’m literally watching Nuclear Engineer Reacts to Weird History Radioactive Boy Scout - How David Hahn Built a Reactor right now.

Something to note about shotguns, and specifically buckshot. Its effective (will kill) up to ~50m, and slugs are double that
Yup....more guns than people in this country
I have a Shield EZ. I'm a smaller woman and don't have much grip strength, and I found the Shield EZ to rack like butter, lol. Feels perfect for me.
There was just a video released from somebody trying to steal a Lamborghini or Ferrari or something out of somebody’s driveway. The guy jumps out of his car runs inside comes back out with an RPG and those guys take off running.
It depends on what State you live.
You can't just walk in and buy a gun.
It requires some sort of license depending on the type of firearm you're buying, and some states require training before you can buy anything. Suppressors, short barreled rifle, etc fall under the NFA act and they take much complicated and expensive long procedures to purchase.
You HAVE to check out Hickok45. He is the LEGEND of all guns. Hes done every gun you can think of, he fires is, has knowledge about it, gives you great in detail history about it, and of course, shooting things in his backyard is a lot of fun to watch and a great personality.
Texan here. The only thing you can't just go out and buy, at least here in gun-lovin' Texas, is automatic weapons. Anything that fires multiple rounds with one trigger pull is covered under the National Firearms Act and while not totally forbidden, requires an insane amount of paperwork for a citizen to own or use. Those aren't available in your standard run-of-the-mill gun shop like the one I work at.
But yeah, pistole, revolvers, shotguns, rifles from the AR-15 semiautomatic to big Elephant guns chambered in 450 Nitro Express are all available at the consumer level. They do require paperwork of course. You fill out your 4473 form and we do have a lot of folks who are not approved if they've got a sketchy background or whatever. It happens. We never want to sell to sketchy people and that is the primary tool used to safeguard guns getting into the hands of the people with bad intent.
I have a 12 gauge Maverick 88, a Charter Arms .38 Special snub nose revolver, a Bersa Thunder .380 semi automatic handgun, and a 762×39 Norinco SKS. I also have a XM-42 Lite flamethrower which funny enough isn't classified as a firearm. 😂
Guns I own, since you asked:
I have two 12 guage shotguns, a Glock 26 9mm, a Taurus. 38 special revolver, a Ruger LCP 2 .380, a Heritage Arms .22 revolver, a .22 rifle, a Remington .270 hunting rifle, and a derringer chambered in 45 colt/410.
And so many more once I can afford them!
I'm a former combat arms soldier who carries a sidearm routinely (S&W M&P40 typically) when I'm out in public but handguns are underpowered firearms and difficult to shoot accurately at anything other than very short range. Their advantage is they are relatively easy to carry, and conceal, all day long. If I were expecting to get into a gunfight, and I couldn't change my plans for the day, I'd choose a long gun; probably my pump action 12 gauge loaded with heavy buckshot/slugs or AR platform carbine, depending on the range involved and penetration needed...not even a maybe.
The smaller BBs or shot will not go through you but when you get up to the larger ones, called buckshot, can go though you. They are called buckshot because it was used to hunt bucks of whitetail deer. It is only legal to hunt with in some states. The single projectile is called a slug. It will definitely go through you. It is what you can hunt deer with.
Been shooting since a very young age. Sent to marksman club in middle school and still enjoy going to the range. Can go thru hundreds of rounds in one session.
I am an Army Veteran and have a concealed carry permit and I always carry a firearm when I leave my home. I refuse to be a victim. I live 60 miles from the nearest big city and it can take more than an hour for law enforcement to get to my home, so my safety is up to me. My home is in the wooded forest mountains. We have cougar and bear all around us. I've seen a cougar in my yard a few times. So we never go hiking or walking in our small community without a firearm. A gun is just a tool. It can not fire without someone's finger pulling the trigger. Any object can be used as a weapon and take a life including a person's bare hands. A gun is a tool just like a hammer and both can take a life in the hands of someone intending harm. I will continue to carry my firearm everywhere I'm legally allowed to. I was in Scotland in August. The UK is a beautiful country. I hope to visit again sometime.
My family personally has a Jericho chambered in 9mm, a sawed-off single shot 20G Roebuck shotgun, and a BAR II safari rifle I use for hunting.
Multiple options are available for firearm coloration. Yes sniper rifles are available, but most deer hunting rifles are suitable for that. Black powder arms are available as well. We even have bullet making equipment available.
My Maverick 88 cost $219.00 last year. It's loaded with nine 1 3/4 inch Federal "Shorty" 00 buckshot (6 pellets). Guns don't have to be black. I have a .22LR KelTec P17 and a 9mm S&W M&P9 5" in Flat Dark Earth (You can call it "tan.") I don't have a .45 ACP carbine, mine's a 9mm by Grand Power and has an arm brace, so it's a pistol. My primary carry pistol is a 3.1" barreled Sig Sauer P365X with a red dot & a 600 lumen weapon light with 12 and 17 round magazines.
1:51 Here’s the general answer.
Pistols put holes in people.
Rifles put holes through people.
Shotguns remove chunks of people.
I've got a Browning A5 Ultimate 12ga semi-auto shotgun. Wonderful gun. I also have several long-guns for hunting. I don't actually own a handgun at the moment, although I have looked at The Judge with the .410 shells as another possibility. I find the shotgun to be the perfect home protection weapon for me.
We can legally own= machine guns, mortars, flamethrowers,tanks, surface to air missiles, I had an ad for retired jet fighters, and someone bought a warship. Paperwork and money, jurisdiction certainly a thing. We can own it all. Built our own guns since the 1600’s legally. Nobody really knows how many guns in the country ? Appreciate yer interest.
Yes you can buy firearms in different colors or you take to someone, usually a gunsmith, and the use a Cerakote finish in huge selection of colors. It is sprayed on and then baked. White, purple pink, camouflage, snake skin pattern. So many styles and colors.
You can buy any of these guns if you pass a test or two depending on the firearm and a background check. There is no where in the US that you can buy a gun and take it home the same day. Even if you got to a gun show it still need to go to a licensed dealer to pick it up after the background check.
I have an AR15, GLOCK 17, AND .380
I’ve got a fair amount of weapons at home. I do have a Glock 19, but I also have a Taurus 9mm and an old Ithaca 1911 .45 handgun that’s over 50 years old, and still fires beautifully! Not to mention I’ve been collecting bladed weapons for 35 years; so a sizable amount of swords, knives, even a few one handed warhammers; all of which are perfectly legal to own and carry in my state for self defense.
Basically the only restrictions (however illogical) is against fully automatic weapons produced after 1986 unless you’re a federally licensed manufacturer (which almost anyone can be, it’s just paperwork). Rifles with barrels under 16”, suppressors, etc require NFA tax stamps. Then the laws vary state by state as well, even though the constitutionality of most of those laws is constantly under challenge… it has to get all the way up the circuit or supreme courts to affect the country in a major way.
