Because one blew her head off on live TV once? I mean... they aren't all Anderson Cooper or Sean Hannity. Two different levels of crazy shit eaters there. Actually... yeah... no... Reporters today... Somebody hand them a Xanax or something.
Active Self Protection you're awesome dude, love your vids. I'm from Canada and I agree with your statement, this video she also emphasizes that gun ownership in Canada is a privilege and it is on the books ,but many Canadians strongly disagree. Also defending oneself with a gun is a very risky thing here in Canada, but I and most gun owners would rather be judged be 12 then carried by 6. Keep up your good work and cover your ASP.
That's what they meant by reasonable. As in were going to keep on taking your rights year by year 😂😂😂. There is laws meant to protect, and there is laws made to gradually take away freedoms. It's sort of like throwing a frog in boiling water.
6:07 saying there is no background checks on online gun purchases is a lie. When you buy a gun online it is shipped to a local gun store where you do a background check when you pick it up.
@@ebsell no all 50 states require it. For any online firearm purchase it needs to be shipped to a gun store and a federal background check needs to be ran.
She's talking about what the gun haters, politicians and the media call the "gun show loophole". It isn't really a loophole at all. Yes, you can go to a gun show and buy a gun without a background check, through a private sale from an individual, NOT a licensed dealer. The dealers are the ones in the booths, the individual non dealers are just basically attendees to the gun show. Usually you see them walking around with a rifle slung over their shoulder or sometimes loitering around the front entrance or parking lot. A dealer/FFL must run a NICS background check on all firearm purchases. Online dealers must send the firearm to a licensed dealer who then runs the background check before they give you your firearm. They usually charge a small fee for doing the transfer. Private sales are an entirely different thing. One individual (NON dealer) can sell to another individual without any paperwork or background check just as if you're selling a TV or set of golf clubs etc. Responsible individuals will use good judgement when selling to an unknown person by getting a copy or picture of the buyers ID and will fill out a bill of sale and not sell to suspicious looking or acting people. Gun shows are not just free for all gun sales like she, and the gun hating politicians make them out to be. It's misleading to people (voters) that don't know any better.
I ducked when she did that but then I forgot she was a vice reporter so if the gun accidentally discharged... well let’s just say it wouldn’t be the end of the world
obtree is it really not that obvious? She looks down the barrel or if you want to get technical puts her head VERY close to the barrel. That has to be the worst way to check for obstructions.
obtree you’ve never owned a firearm have you? Or if you do you are an irresponsible one? First rule is to treat every gun like a loaded gun. You never know, just when you think it’s cleared you end up doing something stupid. 2nd is to always point your gun in a safe direction. This includes when cleared. This goes hand in hand with what she did. 3rd never point the gun at anything your not going to shoot. Unless you want to shoot yourself I suggest you don’t point it at your face 4 is to keep your booger hook off the bang bang switch. Also known as trigger discipline. 5 is to know what lies behind your target. Also known as be observant enough to not point it at anything other than your target. Follow all these and your good. Good day
@@nikolassmithers4870 Bruh, I haven't made a youtube comment in over 8 years but yours just made me want to write one. The Canadian Firearms Training Course teaches every step to proving safe a firearm. The final step, it to verify the bore is clear of obstruction before any form of use, storage or handing it off. On many firearms looking down the backend (the chamber) is enough. Eg: Break action rifles, shotguns etc. On many other firearms it is impossible to see through the chamber to the muzzle. Once making safe and every other procedure is done you must check the bore. The gun is made safe, unloaded, partially opened, bolt locked or safetied and it hasn't left your hands. There's no way a round is going to make it in there and kill you. You don't point it at your head with the trigger finger ready. It's a 45* tilt and a peak for light passing through. If you don't do this, do your ACTS and PROVE without the E, you may load and fire through on obstruction which could kill or seriously harm. A SSUME EVERY FIREARM IS LOADED C ONTROL THE MUZZLE DIRECTION AT ALL TIMES T RIGGER FINGER AWAY FROM THE TRIGGER GUARD S EE THAT THE FIREARM IS UNLOADED via PROVE P OINT THE BARREL IN A SAFE DIRECTION R EMOVE ALL AMMUNITION O BSERVE THE CHAMBER V ERIFY THE FEED PATH E XAMINE THE BORE Follow all these, and you're good. Good day. P.S. Military background and gun collector. We do this with the C7/M16/AR15 as well except we can look through the chamber when making safe.
@@yourfriendlyneighborhoodsaiyan If people weren't careful? Yes. But generally, it's done once you made sure the weapon was incapable of firing. The purpose is more to look out for things stuck in the barrel more than to look if there's a bullet in the chamber.
@@KingofStarfall Not Generally, always. PROVE goes Point in safe direction Remove all sources of ammunition Observe that the chamber is clear Verify the feed path is clear Examine the bore There is no way to shoot yourself if you follow ACTS and PROVE. That being said, yea its still weird looking down the barrel and our instructors advised us to use a bore rod or light
That awkward moment when Canada has less strict laws than California... Edit: y'all, I made this comment years ago. You don't need to reply saying it's outdated. I know.
The requirement for buying a weapon at gun shows depends from state to state. Several do not require background checks. Guess it's you who is the liar.
Just like the ridiculous notion that you can buy guns online and have them sent to your home. NOPE! You can pay for them online and have them shipped to a licensed dealer who will do a background check BEFORE any transfer is made.
Honestly that's the biggest thing that erks me about this video I'm happy that it encourages people to get into shooting. But that was a straight up lie background checks and being a resident are required by law.
It's absolutely insane to me that Canadians can not legally defend themselves against a home invader or an attacker. Are Canadian police response time that amazing?
Canadians have a right to defend their property or themselves as long as their defensive actions are reasonable under the circumstances. This means that if you injure an intruder entering your home or property, you would need to show that the circumstances gave you no other reasonable choice.
Yes because technically everything on this land of Canada belongs to the “crown”, and you don’t technically “own” anything without “his majesty’s grace”. That’s why the law regarding property is not the same as in the states. As for why you cannot defend yourself with “excessive power”, I have no clue what genius came up with that.
you can not legally use a firearm for self defense in Canada. The government in America's hat is getting out of hand. I think it's time to tip our hat, if you know what I mean. Can't wait till Canada is the 51st - 63rd state.
In the US, an online gunstore must send the firearm to a local gunstore. It is there that the buyer undergoes the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS). You cannot just "order" a gun online.
Luis Cas, Private sales require no background check in the US, many of these private transactions being planned or taking place online, but otherwise you right.
"People who have guns get shot" Yeah, I have been dodging bullets for days. They also never mentioned how many gun deaths in the US are actually also suicides like they pointed it out for Canada.
MOST GUN RELATED DEATH'S IN THE U.S.ARE FROM GANG BANGERS,AND ACCIDENT'S,AND COP'S,AND TERROREST.TERROREST BLOW UP 2 TRADES BUILD'ING'S,AND NEVER CAUGHT ANYBODY.AND THEY ARENT EVEN LOOKING FOR ANYBODY,CAN YOU EMAGINE THAT.AND THEY JUMP ON THE BAN WAGON ABOUT A LITTLE GUN.AFTER ALL THE BOMBING'S.WTF..
Well the majority of deaths is suicide and the majority of homicide is from criminals who the vast majority would not be eligible to purchase a firearm legally through a NICS background check. Come on even a Canadian gun owner knows American crap... 😒
It's actually part of the licensing. Specifically to look directly down the business end of a firearm. Yes, it is super fucking stupid. I couldn't tell you why it's in there as there are about a half dozen better ways to prove a weapon... But it is and you will fail unless you do it. The rule should be to never, ever point a gun at ANYONE'S head, let alone your own... But it sure as shit isn't.
They cut out the part when she opened the action and checked that the chamber is empty. AFTER that you suppose to check that there is nothing in the barrel with the action is still open.
10 rnds with LAR mag, but small mags are a weird law. With practice, someone can fire and reload super quick, but this does prevent gun violence to a degree.
4 RULES OF GUN SAFETY: 1. Treat all guns as if they are always loaded. 2. Never let the muzzle point at anything that you are not willing to destroy. 3. Keep your finger off the trigger until your sights are on target and you have made the decision to shoot. 4. Be sure of your target and what is behind it.
@@aidanvillnave4903 Yes like, hey look how restrictive guns laws in CAN are, ooops, someone didn't even follow this shit we will make it even more restrictive.
The law is written with a lot of grey areas. You need to actually prove that other people in your situation would feel that their life was in imminent danger and the actions you took were appropriate to save your life. Also any by standers would have to agree with your course of actions otherwise that will hurt you. Bottom line, if someone wants to knock the shit out of you they should think twice and I enjoy that about the laws we have in some states. It's all grey, intentionally, for interpretation by lawyers in a courtroom which in legal terminology is called, "Pay Daaayy, MF'ers"!
And she says ‘I don’t have to provide any of this information’... I’m assuming she meant that she answered no to the acquisition questions it’s still weird that she said that
They teach you clear the gun and when it is clear to observe the bore for obstructions like squib loads. Source: I actually did the course and am not just making speculations online.
@@ramjet177 That's so weird to me. I was always taught to never point the firearm at anyone. Even when you know the gun is unloaded you always treat it as if it was loaded.
@@jacobdensmore5058 I understand your point, but no matter what there's still a point where you look down the barrel and you know it's not loaded. Cleaning.
@@swiffersweatjet7815 Only time you should be looking down a barrel is during a cleaning, preferably with it removed from the slide/receiver. But, I guess not everyone can know how to properly handle firearms.
@@alohasnackbarcell8071 it's part of the PAL course, when the gun is clear of ammunition and you have observed the breech and the action is open, you are required to look down the barrel. I know it's weird but it's what the instructors tell you to do.
@@braeeee_ It's just an unnecessary action in regards to safe behavior with a firearm, in most regards. You should always treat a gun like it's loaded, even if you know it's cleared. It's best to train yourself to be careful whenever holding a firearm.
you need a reality check my friend. why are you surprised? ever heard of fox news? all new agencies have an agenda to push these days, or some might argue it has always been the case.
@@assassinosproductions3201 that moment when you don't realize some of those facts were wrong. (Background checks for guns purchased online. Still have to have the gun shipped to a FFL.)
Ya but what they actually mean is the few who don't check! Trust me I'm all for people having guns the evils in the people not the guns! Anyone can get a bow and arrow which is just as deadly and probably easier to use and are 98% quieter too!.
Tyler Sane you can not sell a firearm without doing a proper background check in the United States you fuck, someone can’t just walk into a gun shop and be like “do you really have to do a background check? Can you just let this on slide this time” or some shit like that
Tyler Sane under no circumstance will a dealer of firearms sell you a gun without a background check I say again zero FFL dealers will sell you a gun without a background check it is federally illegal if two private citizens want to trade a gun for money private citizen number one can sell private citizen number to a gun without a background check but that's not a gun store and that's not a gun show
Which is why I only buy privately, it is not the government's business what type or how many firearms I own. If one were to actually push the issue, ANY form of restriction is against the 2nd Amendment.
Ranges considerably. .22LR can be a couple of cents per round, and that's really the bread and butter round for casual target shooting. Most handgun calibers (9mm, .40, .45, etc) will be in the $0.25 to $0.50 per round range, depending on the specific caliber and the quantity being bought. Shotgun target loads tend to be in that range too. With bigger handguns (.357, .44 magnum) and smaller centerfire rifles (.223, 7.62x39) you start to get close to a dollar a round. Then up towards $1.50-$2.00 for stuff thats good for bigger game hunting and longer range shooting (.308, .30-06, .300WM). Then when you get into the real big stuff (.338, .50BMG), then yeah, $5-10 a shot.
Fyst the Canadian prime minister just outlawed a ton of 2nd amendment rights because of a mass shooting in Canada that took forever to stop. He thinks taking the guns from law abiding citizens to be an appropriate answer. In a short response.
I literally just completed my PAL course, and it is part of the procedure. After removing all ammunition, observing the breech and feeding path, you are to look down the barrel with the action open. Extremely counter intuitive, but it is what the instructors ask you to do. If you have a break open/hinge action, you can inspect from the rear.
@t1tacal Well, if you verified the water underneath was deep enough to break your fall and free of obstructions, yes. Kinda like you verify that the magazine, feeding path, and rear of the bore is empty first before you check the barrel for obstructions.
I like how the girl acts completely terrified of the guns but smiles after shooting and then go straight into her terrified acting and then ask the woman if she's promoting fear and paranoia

@Robert Johnson I took it a couple of months ago in Ontario. You can use whatever tool you want really, but if you're just shining a light without looking you might miss a partial obstruction. My course had rods and acrylic bore lights similar to chamber clear flags you would use for storage. My instructor runs a firearms services business and has been an instructor since 1995.
The main difference between Canada and the USA in terms of gun ownership is that Canada has a very solid social and mental health safety net. Here in the States, finding help for medical or even mental distress is practically based on wealth and health care access.
@@SkinnySkinch I have a gun license in Canada(possession and acquisition license) So I can promise you. That IS appart of the official test in Ontario.
Wrong. And doesnt even matter. In all private sales in most states, there are no checks. Not at a gun show, not online. And you are missing the point. The point being, that if you want to circumvent a background check, you can.
@@maxmeier532 not wrong. You have obviously never bought a new gun at a gun show ever. Private sales are not for NEW guns, so your point has no weight and has not invalidated my statement in the least.
@@maxmeier532 But a gun show *isn't* a private sale. Gun shows are when dealers set up shop at a booth or table, and THEN they will background check you on purchase. Oh and as for online sales, if you mean from an FFL, your background is very much checked and the gun must be shipped to a local FFL dealer. Now, places like Armslist or Gunlistings where you can meet local gun owners are more what you're talking about, because the individual will often not ask. They're not an FFL and that's just fine. We live in a free market society that allows us to sell our property. This applies to firearms. However, I have noticed here in Iowa, locals will ask for your permit to purchase a pistol/revolver for any gun sale, even long guns. The reason for this is that the permit is essentially proof that you've been background checked by the county sheriff. There's a lot about the conversation that's being left out here and it's intellectually dishonest, but along will come a weeb with too much time on his hands and two firearms in his collection to inform you. :P
Actually in the United States if you buy a gun from a dealer online you can only get that firearm shipped directly to you if you are a dealer yourself. If you are not a dealer yourself then you must make arrangements with a local dealer to have it shipped to them where the background check will be run when you pick it up!
My problem with Canada isn't the process it's the fact you can't even carry it for self defense even after jumping through all those hoops and proving that you are clean and responsible.
Besides the Castle Doctrine myth, which I had to bust *_YET AGAIN,_* there is another fact that 99.99999999% of Canadians haven't a clue about: Up until about 1969, if you could own a handgun, you could carry it! It had to be concealed at all times in public.
@@theAV8R there's nothing to defend yourself from until there is. It should be someone's right to defend their own property, despite how low that chance is.
Actually, all 50 states require some sort of background check and buying a gun online requires you to ship it to a licensed FFL dealer. The statistic you are getting around 5 million is an estimate of PRIVATE SALES which occurs between two independent parties and does have a registration process through a form similar to transferring the title of a car to the new owner.
keith mc it’s dumb because all guns used for criminal use are from the us it’s not gonna stop shit, Trudeau is just using the Nova Scotia shooting as leverage
Yeap, all the ban did is let illegal gun owners keep their guns, the time that the cops & RCMP will need to round up guns many banned restricted guns and so many non restricted guns actually, it could be spent to actually hunt down criminals who own illegal guns.
"A few weeks later, I've completed my firearms safety course" "prove it's safe" *Journalist stares down the barrel of the gun* What in the hell is this lady doing? Don't ever preach to me about gun laws when you can't even comprehend the basic rules of firearm handling that children half your age are able to follow to a T. I can't even fathom how the instructor didn't snatch that weapon from her hands and educate her on how to properly handle a firearm.
It seems stupid, but a bore check is actually part of the safety course. You're supposed to assume it's a break-action during the test. Source: PAL owner

*Edit: for reference, they cut out the "PROV" part of "PROVE" for some reason in the video I'll be the first to admit it feels wrong, but it is ignorant and unsafe NOT to. Per the required canadian gun safety course, you must PROVE your weapon safe: - Point it in the safest available direction - Remove all ammunition - Observe the chamber (make sure it's empty) - Verify the feeding path (make sure there is no ammo in magazines) - Examine the bore. (only after having fully confirmed that the firearm is unloaded) Examining the bore is important, especially if you are a hunter for example, any kind of obstruction in the barrel can lead to catastrophic failure of the gun, and a potential injury.
@@D34THC10CK I know a lad that didn't do that when he went hunting didn't see the slug that was stuck half way down and blew up his 12g to pieces lucky he wasn't hurt cause it was a lot of shrapnel, usually if I have a bolt action I just take out the bolt or if its easy remove the barrel only because trying to flip it in my blind is a bit awkward
what if its not safe and you shoot yourself in the head? why cant you point the rifle at a light source like the sun and see if you see light down the barrel from the back
Rajat Roy absolutely wrong information no background checks for online purchases however the firearm must be shipped to an FFL who will conduct the background check before transferring the firearm to the buyer no way around the "gun show loophole" unless it's a face to face transaction between two private parties... Indiana DOES require a license to carry a handgun UNLESS you are in your home or on your property that you own or rent or your place of buisness
they didnt even include new zealand on the graph for gun homicides per day. new zealands population is 4.7 million gun ownership is 250,000 and guns in circulation on a conservative side is around 1.5 million. yet we dont hear anything about new zealand gun deaths because they are rare here.
To everyone commenting. Its bad editing done for comedic effect. Checking the barrel is the last step in the safety check that is taught in Canadian firearm courses called PROVE. P-Point the firearm in the safest direction; R-Remove all ammunition; O-Observe the chamber; V-Verify the feeding path; E-Examine the bore for obstructions. You can also use a cleaning rod to check for obstructions.
Yeah that's how we were taught in our class, and it was recommended to use a rod if possible. Aside from other comments, there's a few things about this video I don't like. Her saying "I look like I want to shoot someone' when viewing her PAL pic, was offputting and in bad taste.
trifacto the United States was founded on the backs of people fighting for liberty from an oppressive overreaching government. The reason why gun ownership is a constitutional right is to prevent government oppression and to protect the home and put food on the table.
+kuneefay you've got a pretty damn oppressive government now. You have the highest incarceration rates in the developed world, NSA spying programmes, a militarised and aggressive police force, corrupt politicians cheating the system. When are your guns gonna sort these issues out?
I need to stop you at 6:10, you say you don't need a background check to buy guns online or at gun shows in the US, that is absolutely false. I've purchased many Guns online and through gun shows and it Always has to go through an FFL where you are required to pass a background check. We need to end that misconception right now. Private transfer of property is totally different
It depends whether the seller is licensed or not. Licensed sellers are required to screen buyers at gun shows, but you can easily find unlicensed sellers that aren't required to.
William Trepanier You are talking about private individuals selling off a firearm...From your statement, "unlicensed sellers" can imply something else.
If you aren't a vendor at a gun show, you are not suppose to be selling a firearm on property. Just because someone sold you one doesn't make it okay. Other paying vendors would be pissed. That isn't a loophole, this is just illegal.
Its possible to buy guns at gunshows through non-FFLs with no check in some states. Online absolutely not that's highly illegal you must go through an FFL.
I understand both sides, but I have to side with pro gun guys here, just by terminology. Private sales don't require background checks for certain weapons in certain states. This should not be bunched in with online and gun shows that probably have more FFL dealers than private. On the flip side, people who don't know the laws, just hear that you can find a guy at a gun show... And buy an ak47. They freak out. But the truth is, you can buy an ak47 in some states from a dude in Walmart parking lot... Legally.
That can only work if the armed forces of the government are the people, just as if the jury to decide on the guilt of someone are the people. And in this sense I mean recruited on mass as a generalized practice of the population (fancy talk for militia) and elect their leaders.
@@suckmyass3569 The idea of the population being armed as defense against autocracies only works when it is the population that makes up the army and controls that army such as electing their own commanders. If the military is separate from the people yet a strong enough one, it can oppress the people.
@@robertjarman3703 so a military that is organized along similar principles to what the anarchists did in the Spanish civil war. read homage to catatonia if you don't know what I mean.
@@MrThatguy333 Correct, although I'm still not sure exactly how to keep this kind of militia under civilian control. The election of a president as head of state and commander in chief helps, but there are plenty more commanders to consider. Switzerland has the United Federal Assembly elect Generals in the event of true calamities. Also, in order for most people to be willing to join the military on this basis you have to reach dystopian levels of chaos or very artificial national pride often used for nefarious reasons in most cases, very few people join the military in other cases, especially in a healthy society where jobs are secure for most people, people get good educations, and poverty programs are effective, you aren't trying to lure in young often reckless people or otherwise low income or low opportunity people. When you consider modern militaries, remember that most soldiers do not fight at any given time, most are sent in platoons or a battalion at most, most remain at home. So you should consider them working typical professions and enjoy similar ideas to them such as how in the Netherlands soldiers actually join trade unions. It would be easy to imagine soldiers in this context electing commanders who would have strong powers during their command but once off the battlefield, they hold no special rights, and in the battlefield, they enjoy no special privileges of comfort like sleeping quarters, they should live with their comrades, and who after the battle can be removed by their other soldiers and reviewed by the elected bodies the people choose.
Recent events demonstrate the consequences of being submissive and obedient on gun rights. Canadian firearm owners paid money in good faith for their licenses and registration. Now the registries and licensing lists are being used to confiscate their guns. Who would have guessed?
Exactly. Even with all these restrictions the Canadian government bascially banning everying and treating anyone with even a sliver of self reliance like they and enemy of everyone around them. Politians that are literally will not even go outside by themselves without being surrounded by people with you guessed it guns.
I have to give the reporter credit, she clearly went out of her comfort zone but actually went through the whole process and ended up getting her own gun.
Yeah then quickly resold it bc she's not a gun person. Said it at the end. She is no defender of gun rights at all. I give her credit but she acts like all guns never do anything good.
“Gun show loophole” , if you purchase a gun, anywhere in the US , at a gun show, private shop, or from an individual, if you do not fill out a federal form to purchase the firearm you and the person who sold it to you are committing a federal crime and are subject to some stupid prison time. End of story
Actually in Virginia you don't need any "federal forms" if you buy it from a private seller or individual... this is one fact the left doesn't get wrong until they say its a "gun show loophole" cause it happens outside of gunshows more so than in them... you aren't even required to register your firearms in Virginia which I support but yeah... there's no paper work involved with private sellers unless they want it... and if they don't want it... they won't face any legal repercussions... unless the gun is stolen or something
It really depends on the state when it comes to private party sales. Some states do require private party sales to go through a FFL. However, most states private party sales are unregulated, although a bill of sale would be very smart.
wrong. in florida, private sales are legal and require no paperwork. just as they should exist. as long as you verify the gun isnt stolen and record the transfer, like taking pictures of eachothers ids and a note explaining the sale with the serial number on it. this is how it should be.

Before you look down you check the action and breach and make sure theres no round in the chamber, you look down to check for any obstructions, say if you were walking in bushes and something gets stuck. Atleast thats what the course explained.
Yeah, this video aged horribly. Canadian here, the "reasonable" government is now banning and planning on confiscating a bunch of guns (nearly half a million or more) for no reason and are looking at effectively killing competition handgun shooting and the broader legal handgun market. Canada, WAS, an example of sensible legislation, now? It's just an example of how gun control is all take, no give.
I had my first “gun” air rifle at 5 years of age. Owned a .22 at 10 years. Later during highschool we used to bring our rifles .223 and shotguns to the school and keep them in our lockers so after class we could go target shoot and shoot gophers out in the fields behind the school (just outside town limits). This was in the 80’s in Alberta Canada. Can you imagine kids bringing rifles to school with them today?
R.J. Paskevich we did. And we also had hunter and survival training classes in highschool where on specific days we have to bring our rifles into class! No shit. It’s a different world and it’s only 30 years ago.
Orion Tigley Crazy eh. After that highschool course at age 16 you would received a document called an FAC or firearms acquisition certificate. You could take it to a hardware store and buy a rifle legally. I was 16 with a rifle and a drivers Licence in Canada in the 80’s. Not sure what it’s like now, I don’t live in Canada anymore.
Unless you have a ton of enemies can you reasonably suspect that someone breaking into your house wants to harm you? Most B&Es are crackheads who think nobody is home and just wanna steal your TV. Is that worth taking someone's life? I'm not anti-gun, just curious.
Dunning Kruger doesnt matter, cuz if theyre laying there dead with a weapon and came thru a broken window of a house that they didnt own....... it doesnt take a genius to figure out whether or not the homicide was justified. shoot first ask questions last or you or a loved one can get hurt, smartass.
6:00 incorrect. Online purchases 100% require the same background check. You can't be shipped a firearm directly, it must go to an FFL (A licensed gun seller) and you must fill out an ATF Form 4473. This form has your address, social security number, phone number, birth date, legal name, etc... Then this form is submitted to the FBI for a background check. You MUST wait for the FBI to tell the FFL that it's okay to transfer the firearm to you. At which point the FFL collects a fee and you're headed to the range to sight it in. While it's legal for personal transfers and sales to be made, it is ILLEGAL to perform a straw purchase, as described on the form 4473.
I love how she spends the entire video talking about how reasonable the regulation was....just to end up selling it and admitting it is to big of a pain in the ass for the average person.
@@QuadersXL In Canada, I assume? I'd say the average person absolutely does not need a firearm, which I am grateful to say. Which is why recent bans are ridiculous because legal firearm owners do not contribute to crime statistics.
I mean, that clip is shown out of context. It is the last step in verifying a firearm safe, ie pointing the firearm in a safe direction, removing all the ammunition, observing the empty chamber, verifying the feed path is clear, and checking the barrel for obstructions. It is the first thing you learn in the Canadian firearms safety course.
That depends on where you are I suppose. In the danish army looking down the barrel is the very last control of the firearm after having checked mag pouches, mags, and chamber. In that order.
@@TownspersonB I did a little check on the rate of accidental gun deaths per 100 000 people between Canada and the US. Rate for US is 0.15, rate for Canada is 0.03. Not saying checking the bore for obstructions in this manner is the reason for this, but it certainly isn't making things any worse.
@@TownspersonB First of all, the safety course specifies that you clear a firearm in a particular order. If you follow the procedure properly, you're already certain there is no cartridge in the firearm, and it is out of battery, before you inspect the bore. You'd have to be a real moron to look down the barrel of a gun to check if it's loaded, and that's not what's being done. Secondly, as a whole, Canada has fewer accidental gun deaths than in the US. Therefore, looking down the barrel of a gun to verify it is free of obstructions at the very least hasn't caused any serious problems that would skew those statistics. Just as an aside, Americans may think Canada is a gun free country, but there are actually 4x more licensed gun owners than there are hockey players. Let that sink in. Also, I should note, that the number of accidental gun deaths was actually much higher in Canada (around 0.22) before the implementation of the Canadian Firearms Safety Course in the early 2000s. Since then, the rate has never gone above 0.09.
That's what a rod is for dummy I'm not peaking down shit unless I'm looking down from the chamber not the end of the barrel 😂 this is common sense being an American we don't have to say it, it's unspoken common sense just don't do it.
Vice does a pretty good job presenting objective reporting. U.S.A. requires background check. Firearms must be delivered to a licensed dealer for pickup.
Matthew Luchitti So.. ban it because someone who illegally obtained firearms in Canada shot people in Nova Scotia? I don’t see how that makes sense at all. If you watch the video, Canada already has strict laws and it’s supposed to only be used for hunting and target shooting - for sports. It’s a lot like cars. “We don’t need AR15s” = “we don’t need Ferraris”. A lot of people are driving illegally in Canada with suspended licenses or stolen vehicles. Why are cars not getting banned? The way I see it, guns are being banned from responsible, well trained people who take necessary precautions to be safe with them while criminals continue to obtain firearms illegally, regardless of the gun is banned or not.
Matthew Luchitti no, we’re not like the US and that’s why you can’t use guns for self defense. As I’ve mentioned before, guns were supposed to be used recreationally in Canada. Sports cars and baseball bats can be used as weapons and can be just as deadly when put in the hands of the wrong people. As you say about guns, you don’t need those either, but here we are. Funny how no counter arguments aren’t being made for these points I’m making. But I guess guns are scary and we should ban them from responsible owners.
Matthew Luchitti Search Alek Minassian, the man behind the Toronto van attack. (Sorry not a sports car, but this still applies) I just made a reasonable comparison but you fail to explain your reasoning. You just keep saying “guns should be illegal, ban them” I’m not dismissing the idea of making them illegal. I’m not even a gun enthusiast but the arguments made (or lack thereof) by people like you makes me feel like no thought is being made with these suggestions
Matthew Luchitti Like you said, we’re not like the US. They have different gun laws there that I don’t agree with. In some states it is easier to obtain a firearm legally than obtaining a car. We need to look at the gun laws we had HERE prior to the gun ban. Now let’s look at gun related deaths in Canada vs car related deaths. It doesn’t even compare. The problem with what you’re proposing is that yes, criminals will try to get guns over a car, but the laws we had prevent that. If we ban guns all together, they’re still gonna get their hands on them illegally.
Technically you can use it to protect yourself. The canadian laws says you can defend yourself with reasonable and proportionate force. So you can shoot a guy that's threatening you with a gun but you'll probably be charged with unlawful storage of a firearm because your guns have to be locked in your home. Stupid I know.
@@IbangedYaMama What about home defense? Like you're sleeping and a dude wearing a ski mask busts through a window with a gun/knife? Do you defend yourself or release one of your polar bears or what?
@@xCaPz The criminal code allows self-defence that is "reasonable" and proportionate". So, unarmed guy breaks into your house and you shoot him, you're in trouble. Yes, it's insane, but that's how it works. That said, the law regulates the way firearms can be stored in your home. The regulations vary between different class of firearm, but the commonality is that any firearm must be stored unloaded. What that means is if your gun is unloaded but a loaded magazine is sitting right beside it, that's legal. If the loaded magazine is inserted during storage, it's not. If it's a handgun or other restricted-class firearm it must be stored unloaded and trigger-locked inside a locked cabinet. A guy I know who is definitely not me has a small steel combo-safe bolted to the floor under his bed, with an unloaded handgun and two loaded mags in it. Totally meets the storage requirement. And if push came to shove it could be opened and loaded in 20 seconds. Or so he tells me. Recently a couple of high-profile cases have tested the self-defence laws. In one case a guy in one of the northern territories was home-invaded by drug dealers. When they were fleeing he shot them dead with a surplus Soviet army rifle. He was found not guilty. In another case a farmer accidentally shot and killed a home invader during a botched vehicle theft. He, too, was found not guilty of murder, but found guilty of the lesser charge of improper storage of a firearm because he loaded his (restricted) pistol when sh** started to go down, which isn't allowed except on a range. With these cases and a few others on the books, hopefully future similar events will result in similar decisions. As it stands right now, even if you're eventually found not guilty, you're still in for a very expensive tour through the judicial system. I'd love to see castle doctrine here, but it's going to take decades.
@@ML-dl1cp interesting. In Texas property rights pretty much trumps all. The laws allow you to stop anyone stealing or damaging your property with all necessary force. Key word is necessary. But if an elderly person decided that they can't stop the person by verbal or non-lethal force and the police won't arrive in time to stop them. They can, have, used firearms to defend their property. And in most cases never get charged with anything. And they few times in my life that I've heard of someone having charges filled almost away get them dropped before any trial. Only one case where an old man, I'm his eighties, shot a young Hispanic man, who had knocked on the old man's door for directions. The old man was charged and had gotten a few years in jail. But I think he got out quickly and was just placed on probation for some years. So he got off pretty easy but lost his right to own firearms because of the felony charge.
You were proud the government was restrictive. Amazing. They can restrict you all in cages and promise you "safety", you will have 0 homicide rate. Would you be proud if they could achieve that?
In Canada " you have the right to use whatever force you feel necessary to defend yourself or remove someone from your property". If a person is coming at you in your house with a knife threatening to kill you , you can use lethal force. but if it is proven that the person was not a real threat to life and limb you will be charged . At least thats what a senior member of the R.C.M.P. told me.
The RCMP are vastly uneducated about the laws they enforce. In Canada you can defend yourself with equal force. So if someone comes at you with a knife you can defend yourself with a knife, if you use a firearm you might have some explaining to do.
@@BN-dw9jt, the problem with the equal force rationale is that the weapon used is not the only determining factor in deciding the danger a threat poses. If you pit a 150 lb woman armed with a knife against a 250 lb man armed with a knife, the latter still has a significant advantage. Hence why firearms are called "the great equalizer" - they allow individuals who may be unable to protect themselves to fend off or neutralize a threat that may otherwise overpower them.
@@jpabe9321 I agree because I completely disagree with the equal force law. Also if someone breaks into my house in the middle of the night and I am unable to tell if they are armed or not I am going to shoot regardless, I'd rather be in legal trouble than dead.
well. some of us do own guns for self defense even though we don't really have castle laws. there are plenty of cases of law abiding gun owners in Canada shooting and killing people in self defense. on their own properties
A lot of people have mentioned her looking down the muzzle but it is an actual step you have to take when doing the firearm course . This is after removing all ammunition , observing the chamber and verifying the feeding path . I don’t think anyone really does this outside of the course. I believe they mainly teach this method because most people are acquiring a pal for hunting and snow build up or mud can happen while hunting, but most hunting rifles are bolt action so naturally we would just remove the bolt and observe the bore that way. Most people think it’s a stupid step here too lol
Remember, a few years ago the Canadian government tried to institute total firearms registration, half the people humped up and refused to register their firearms and the government gave up after spending a lot more than was originally budgeted for the program.
Canada: "Only 5 rounds for your AR-15 magazines" America: Hold my beer You can buy a Bushmaster AR-15 and 120 round drum mags, bump fire stock, ACOG 4X scope, angled for grip, massive muzzle brake. I love having my freedoms!
You can't buy bump-stocks anymore. They're dumb anyway. We can buy everything else you listed, with the exception of mags that hold more than 5 or 10rds (10rd AR pistol mags are legal in Canada). Yeah, the mag capacity is stupid, but gun laws anywhere are generally stupid. More to the point, a number of Canadian manufacturers have made products which are basically ARs that get around the restrictions placed on actual ARs. Check out the ATRS Modern Sporter or the Maccabee SLR. Both take all AR parts and accessories, but each one has a proprietary upper/lower that makes them "not an AR" in the eyes of the law. On the other hand, we can have SBRs without a tax stamp/NFA. I have both a 10.5" Norinco AR and a 7" Radical AR, which required exactly the same paperwork as a 16"-20" AR and no additional fees. And my 9" Rem 870 clone didn't require any paperwork at all!
@The Rebound Guy You a CNN reporter? 75% of gun deaths in Canada are suicide, 20% are homicide, 2% are accidental, 1% are by law enforcement, and 1% are undetermined.
In canada, civilians are taught to look down the barrel of the gun after checking and emptying the chamber to verify that it is clear of obstructions. This is not the case for the military, they are taught the famous "never look down the barrel of a gun".
In boy scouts we were taught to open the breech and make sure there was no bullet in the breech and leave it open before we put down the rifles and walked to the targets. We were allowed to shoot alone unsupervised at the shooting range but never two or more without a scout master present. The point being alone, you can't be accidentally shot by someone else because there is no one else to shoot you.
The Canadian Safety Course has that as its final step to prove the gun safe. It's done after you remove the mag, and check the chamber. It's to make sure there isn't a blockage in the barrel, which can cause serious damage to the user and those around them if the gun is fired in that condition.
what do u need 5 rounds for. if you can't make a hit 5 rounds then you probably shouldn't own a gun. you don't need automatic fire either. police on the other hand and the military have 30 round mags
5 rounds for centerfire rifles or if a firearm has a tube or internal magazine then its how many it holds, if its a restricted pistol max is 10 if its a rimfire like 22 or 17hmr then theres really no restriction but only aftermarket mags on market are like 30 rounds.. but! if its a restricted rimfire then max is 10 too
6:09 HUGE ERROR...Every (gun show) FFL dealer sale MUST do a background check, unless in some states like AZ where someone has a valid CCW then no check is required, however the form 4473 is still filled out. It is ILLEGAL for any online sale to ship a gun to anyone other then a FFL dealer. Even if a private sale is started online, they can not ship it to anyone but a FFL dealer.

I'm happy I live in America. If someone breaks in my home with a gun and puts my children in danger I can protect my family. I think everyone should have that right.
Fast_Life You can use reasonable force in canada. Someone breaks into your house with a gun, it's reasonable to protect yourself with a gun. If a young kid steals your Xbox and is on the run, is it reasonable to fill them up with 00 buckshot?
+james mcdonald -- It would be wonderful if every case were so black-and-white, but that's not how it works in the real world. The problem here is that there is a whole lot of grey area between the two cases you listed. What if the person _only_ has a knife or crowbar? What if you can't tell if they're armed or not, like if it were dark or if their hands are hidden? What if there are multiple intruders in your home who are _possibly_ armed, while you're still groggy after having been woken up in the middle of the night? There is simply no easy definition of "reasonable force". What is or isn't "reasonable" can even vary between different prosecutors, judges, and jurors. You might as well be leaving your fate up to the roll of a dice. And even if you're exonerated, you'll still likely be stuck with missed work and significant attorneys fees. The entire idea behind the "Castle Doctrine" in the US is to avoid all these legal grey areas by giving the lawful resident the benefit of the doubt that they had acted in "reasonable fear" for their life. Even if it means a few people use an unnecessary amount of force, it fundamentally boils down to Blackstone's formulation, that "it is better that ten guilty persons escape than that one innocent suffer".
6:08 "No background checks at gun shows" is wrong. Any firearms dealer selling at a gun show in any state MUST go through the steps to conduct a background check. Private sellers, however, are exempt because they aren't dealers. At gun shows, private sellers have about 10% of the available guns for sale. Concealed handgun license-holders may bypass a background check since their license required a thorough BG check before they earned it. I'm on the side of gun rights, but I thumbs downed because you joined the NRA. The NRA only represents some 9% of actual US gun owners.
Missouri and Kanas, I absolutely can buy a gun and take it home the same day. There's also a website where it helps you locate nearby people who want to sell their guns, which won't require a background check.
Matthew Boyd Right. There are websites that do help people find buyers to meet in person for sales. This is not the same as internet sales, which would require a background check with some very uncommon exceptions.
Phil L private sellers are not dealers, therefore meeting one in person for a sale is very different than ordering online and having a gun shipped to your door. the only issue with that is that craigslist doesn't allow firearm advertisements.
There are no background checks online, in the United States, because the guns that are purchased online are shipped to a federally licensed firearms dealers who, then performs the background check.
Thats not true at all in most states. You can meet someone in a parking lot to exchange guns for cash as happens all the time through sites like armslist.com. Theres only a minority of states like Cali. that require what youre describing which is to have a licensed dealer as an intermediary in a private sale.
The online sales the OP was referring to make up a very small portion of online firearm transactions. The majority are private sales facilitated online through gun swap sites with no BG check or regulation. You can get caught up on a technical definition of an online sale if you want... or you can wake up to the fact theres literally no regulation for the majority of firearm sales made through online media.

@@ebsell Federal background checks are a thing. There are additional hoops to jump through based on states.

@@ebsell no all 50 states require it. For any online firearm purchase it needs to be shipped to a gun store and a federal background check needs to be ran.
She's talking about what the gun haters, politicians and the media call the "gun show loophole". It isn't really a loophole at all. Yes, you can go to a gun show and buy a gun without a background check, through a private sale from an individual, NOT a licensed dealer. The dealers are the ones in the booths, the individual non dealers are just basically attendees to the gun show. Usually you see them walking around with a rifle slung over their shoulder or sometimes loitering around the front entrance or parking lot. A dealer/FFL must run a NICS background check on all firearm purchases. Online dealers must send the firearm to a licensed dealer who then runs the background check before they give you your firearm. They usually charge a small fee for doing the transfer. Private sales are an entirely different thing. One individual (NON dealer) can sell to another individual without any paperwork or background check just as if you're selling a TV or set of golf clubs etc. Responsible individuals will use good judgement when selling to an unknown person by getting a copy or picture of the buyers ID and will fill out a bill of sale and not sell to suspicious looking or acting people. Gun shows are not just free for all gun sales like she, and the gun hating politicians make them out to be. It's misleading to people (voters) that don't know any better.
being Canadian ex-military, i cant believe looking down a barrel is part of the safety check.....wow
I ducked when she did that but then I forgot she was a vice reporter so if the gun accidentally discharged... well let’s just say it wouldn’t be the end of the world
obtree which is the worst way to do that
obtree is it really not that obvious? She looks down the barrel or if you want to get technical puts her head VERY close to the barrel. That has to be the worst way to check for obstructions.
obtree you’ve never owned a firearm have you? Or if you do you are an irresponsible one?
First rule is to treat every gun like a loaded gun. You never know, just when you think it’s cleared you end up doing something stupid.
2nd is to always point your gun in a safe direction. This includes when cleared. This goes hand in hand with what she did.
3rd never point the gun at anything your not going to shoot. Unless you want to shoot yourself I suggest you don’t point it at your face
4 is to keep your booger hook off the bang bang switch. Also known as trigger discipline.
5 is to know what lies behind your target. Also known as be observant enough to not point it at anything other than your target.
Follow all these and your good.
Good day
@@nikolassmithers4870 Bruh, I haven't made a youtube comment in over 8 years but yours just made me want to write one.
The Canadian Firearms Training Course teaches every step to proving safe a firearm. The final step, it to verify the bore is clear of obstruction before any form of use, storage or handing it off. On many firearms looking down the backend (the chamber) is enough. Eg: Break action rifles, shotguns etc.
On many other firearms it is impossible to see through the chamber to the muzzle. Once making safe and every other procedure is done you must check the bore. The gun is made safe, unloaded, partially opened, bolt locked or safetied and it hasn't left your hands. There's no way a round is going to make it in there and kill you. You don't point it at your head with the trigger finger ready. It's a 45* tilt and a peak for light passing through.
If you don't do this, do your ACTS and PROVE without the E, you may load and fire through on obstruction which could kill or seriously harm.
A SSUME EVERY FIREARM IS LOADED
C ONTROL THE MUZZLE DIRECTION AT ALL TIMES
T RIGGER FINGER AWAY FROM THE TRIGGER GUARD
S EE THAT THE FIREARM IS UNLOADED via PROVE
P OINT THE BARREL IN A SAFE DIRECTION
R EMOVE ALL AMMUNITION

P.S. Military background and gun collector. We do this with the C7/M16/AR15 as well except we can look through the chamber when making safe.
Being from a military family and learning about guns at a very young age I was shocked that she had to look down the barrel.

@@KingofStarfall I wouldn't be surprised of people died because of that rule
@@yourfriendlyneighborhoodsaiyan If people weren't careful? Yes. But generally, it's done once you made sure the weapon was incapable of firing. The purpose is more to look out for things stuck in the barrel more than to look if there's a bullet in the chamber.

Not Generally, always.

Point in safe direction

It's absolutely insane to me that Canadians can not legally defend themselves against a home invader or an attacker. Are Canadian police response time that amazing?
Canadians have a right to defend their property or themselves as long as their defensive actions are reasonable under the circumstances. This means that if you injure an intruder entering your home or property, you would need to show that the circumstances gave you no other reasonable choice.
Yup were forced to defend ourselves with lil water guns its fucking bs 😐 i hate our government
Yes because technically everything on this land of Canada belongs to the “crown”, and you don’t technically “own” anything without “his majesty’s grace”. That’s why the law regarding property is not the same as in the states. As for why you cannot defend yourself with “excessive power”, I have no clue what genius came up with that.
You can absolutely defend yourself but you have to accept the due process of law and justice that come with it.
you can not legally use a firearm for self defense in Canada. The government in America's hat is getting out of hand. I think it's time to tip our hat, if you know what I mean. Can't wait till Canada is the 51st - 63rd state.

4 RULES OF GUN SAFETY:
1. Treat all guns as if they are always loaded.
2. Never let the muzzle point at anything that you are not willing to destroy.
3. Keep your finger off the trigger until your sights are on target and you have made the decision to shoot.
4. Be sure of your target and what is behind it.

Because of reasons
I mean but with good reason right? No real idea why we need AR platform and other similar style firearms right?
No VICE you can't shoot someone just because you feel threatened. That is a gross oversimplification of the law at best.
Weak on the research into "deadly force".
The law is written with a lot of grey areas. You need to actually prove that other people in your situation would feel that their life was in imminent danger and the actions you took were appropriate to save your life. Also any by standers would have to agree with your course of actions otherwise that will hurt you. Bottom line, if someone wants to knock the shit out of you they should think twice and I enjoy that about the laws we have in some states. It's all grey, intentionally, for interpretation by lawyers in a courtroom which in legal terminology is called, "Pay Daaayy, MF'ers"!

Let's be honest, shooting is a fun sport.
Probably also very expensive. $1 per small calibre bullet? Maybe $5 per shot for the long-range monsters? I don't know.
Ranges considerably. .22LR can be a couple of cents per round, and that's really the bread and butter round for casual target shooting. Most handgun calibers (9mm, .40, .45, etc) will be in the $0.25 to $0.50 per round range, depending on the specific caliber and the quantity being bought. Shotgun target loads tend to be in that range too. With bigger handguns (.357, .44 magnum) and smaller centerfire rifles (.223, 7.62x39) you start to get close to a dollar a round. Then up towards $1.50-$2.00 for stuff thats good for bigger game hunting and longer range shooting (.308, .30-06, .300WM). Then when you get into the real big stuff (.338, .50BMG), then yeah, $5-10 a shot.
used to be fun till we were made to feel like criminals for going to the range.

@@maxmeier532 not wrong. You have obviously never bought a new gun at a gun show ever. Private sales are not for NEW guns, so your point has no weight and has not invalidated my statement in the least.
she just said that Canadian gun laws apply everywhere in the country and US gun laws vary from state to state
@@maxmeier532 But a gun show *isn't* a private sale. Gun shows are when dealers set up shop at a booth or table, and THEN they will background check you on purchase. Oh and as for online sales, if you mean from an FFL, your background is very much checked and the gun must be shipped to a local FFL dealer. Now, places like Armslist or Gunlistings where you can meet local gun owners are more what you're talking about, because the individual will often not ask. They're not an FFL and that's just fine. We live in a free market society that allows us to sell our property. This applies to firearms. However, I have noticed here in Iowa, locals will ask for your permit to purchase a pistol/revolver for any gun sale, even long guns. The reason for this is that the permit is essentially proof that you've been background checked by the county sheriff. There's a lot about the conversation that's being left out here and it's intellectually dishonest, but along will come a weeb with too much time on his hands and two firearms in his collection to inform you. :P
Actually in the United States if you buy a gun from a dealer online you can only get that firearm shipped directly to you if you are a dealer yourself. If you are not a dealer yourself then you must make arrangements with a local dealer to have it shipped to them where the background check will be run when you pick it up!
excuse me, everywhere in US require background checks?
If you buy from an FFL, yes.
If you don't, it doesn't matter if it's required or not, you can't enforce it.

Limited you read it wrong.
Online deals require a background check in all 50 states to be legal(Federal law). You're right on person to person private sales though.
Actually, all 50 states require some sort of background check and buying a gun online requires you to ship it to a licensed FFL dealer.

*Edit: for reference, they cut out the "PROV" part of "PROVE" for some reason in the video
I'll be the first to admit it feels wrong, but it is ignorant and unsafe NOT to. Per the required canadian gun safety course, you must PROVE your weapon safe:
- Point it in the safest available direction
- Remove all ammunition
- Observe the chamber (make sure it's empty)
- Verify the feeding path (make sure there is no ammo in magazines)
- Examine the bore. (only after having fully confirmed that the firearm is unloaded)
Examining the bore is important, especially if you are a hunter for example, any kind of obstruction in the barrel can lead to catastrophic failure of the gun, and a potential injury.
@@D34THC10CK I know a lad that didn't do that when he went hunting didn't see the slug that was stuck half way down and blew up his 12g to pieces lucky he wasn't hurt cause it was a lot of shrapnel, usually if I have a bolt action I just take out the bolt or if its easy remove the barrel only because trying to flip it in my blind is a bit awkward

I need to stop you at 6:10, you say you don't need a background check to buy guns online or at gun shows in the US, that is absolutely false. I've purchased many Guns online and through gun shows and it Always has to go through an FFL where you are required to pass a background check. We need to end that misconception right now. Private transfer of property is totally different
It depends whether the seller is licensed or not. Licensed sellers are required to screen buyers at gun shows, but you can easily find unlicensed sellers that aren't required to.
William Trepanier You are talking about private individuals selling off a firearm...From your statement, "unlicensed sellers" can imply something else.
If you aren't a vendor at a gun show, you are not suppose to be selling a firearm on property. Just because someone sold you one doesn't make it okay. Other paying vendors would be pissed. That isn't a loophole, this is just illegal.
Its possible to buy guns at gunshows through non-FFLs with no check in some states. Online absolutely not that's highly illegal you must go through an FFL.
I understand both sides, but I have to side with pro gun guys here, just by terminology. Private sales don't require background checks for certain weapons in certain states. This should not be bunched in with online and gun shows that probably have more FFL dealers than private.
On the flip side, people who don't know the laws, just hear that you can find a guy at a gun show... And buy an ak47. They freak out. But the truth is, you can buy an ak47 in some states from a dude in Walmart parking lot... Legally.
They're missing the whole point of the second amendment. It's to protect the people from a tyrannical government, not for hunting or for fun

The election of a president as head of state and commander in chief helps, but there are plenty more commanders to consider. Switzerland has the United Federal Assembly elect Generals in the event of true calamities.
Also, in order for most people to be willing to join the military on this basis you have to reach dystopian levels of chaos or very artificial national pride often used for nefarious reasons in most cases, very few people join the military in other cases, especially in a healthy society where jobs are secure for most people, people get good educations, and poverty programs are effective, you aren't trying to lure in young often reckless people or otherwise low income or low opportunity people.
When you consider modern militaries, remember that most soldiers do not fight at any given time, most are sent in platoons or a battalion at most, most remain at home. So you should consider them working typical professions and enjoy similar ideas to them such as how in the Netherlands soldiers actually join trade unions. It would be easy to imagine soldiers in this context electing commanders who would have strong powers during their command but once off the battlefield, they hold no special rights, and in the battlefield, they enjoy no special privileges of comfort like sleeping quarters, they should live with their comrades, and who after the battle can be removed by their other soldiers and reviewed by the elected bodies the people choose.
Recent events demonstrate the consequences of being submissive and obedient on gun rights. Canadian firearm owners paid money in good faith for their licenses and registration. Now the registries and licensing lists are being used to confiscate their guns. Who would have guessed?
Exactly. Even with all these restrictions the Canadian government bascially banning everying and treating anyone with even a sliver of self reliance like they and enemy of everyone around them.

It really depends on the state when it comes to private party sales. Some states do require private party sales to go through a FFL. However, most states private party sales are unregulated, although a bill of sale would be very smart.

I was shocked by this when I did my course too, but what you dont see in the video is you place your thumb in the breach and against the firing pin, (cant fire) and you can then angle light to bounce off your thumb nail and see that the barrel is clear.
Makes sure it’s clear
Looks down barrel
Its what the course teaches. Which is rediculous.
@@markfrain7897 conspiracy theory, but maybe the RCMP intentionally instituted that last step so that way gun orders would shoot themselves and end up dying, reducing the amount of gun owners in the country.
Seriously why didn't anyone in that room say anything?? If I did that around my dad he'd slap the shit out of me
Before you look down you check the action and breach and make sure theres no round in the chamber, you look down to check for any obstructions, say if you were walking in bushes and something gets stuck. Atleast thats what the course explained.
@@fujinwinds2514 You're an idiot. It's part of the course in Canada. Maybe you should look that information up before making a dumb comment,
Yeah, this video aged horribly. Canadian here, the "reasonable" government is now banning and planning on confiscating a bunch of guns (nearly half a million or more) for no reason and are looking at effectively killing competition handgun shooting and the broader legal handgun market.
Canada, WAS, an example of sensible legislation, now? It's just an example of how gun control is all take, no give.
"never give a reporter a loaded gun" amen
I had my first “gun” air rifle at 5 years of age. Owned a .22 at 10 years. Later during highschool we used to bring our rifles .223 and shotguns to the school and keep them in our lockers so after class we could go target shoot and shoot gophers out in the fields behind the school (just outside town limits). This was in the 80’s in Alberta Canada. Can you imagine kids bringing rifles to school with them today?
I don't think you actually did that.
R.J. Paskevich we did. And we also had hunter and survival training classes in highschool where on specific days we have to bring our rifles into class! No shit. It’s a different world and it’s only 30 years ago.
I don’t want to think what the world will be like in another 30years. God help us all.
The idea of kids owning guns just sounds.... unwise...
30 years ago was a wild time, eh?
Orion Tigley Crazy eh. After that highschool course at age 16 you would received a document called an FAC or firearms acquisition certificate. You could take it to a hardware store and buy a rifle legally. I was 16 with a rifle and a drivers Licence in Canada in the 80’s. Not sure what it’s like now, I don’t live in Canada anymore.
You should be able to kill someone if they enter your house illegally with ill intent.
The dead can't testify to those facts.
who cares
Parysk i know. i live in canada and if i shoot a guy who broke into my house i will get arrested and jailtime
Unless you have a ton of enemies can you reasonably suspect that someone breaking into your house wants to harm you? Most B&Es are crackheads who think nobody is home and just wanna steal your TV. Is that worth taking someone's life? I'm not anti-gun, just curious.
Dunning Kruger doesnt matter, cuz if theyre laying there dead with a weapon and came thru a broken window of a house that they didnt own....... it doesnt take a genius to figure out whether or not the homicide was justified. shoot first ask questions last or you or a loved one can get hurt, smartass.
6:00 incorrect. Online purchases 100% require the same background check. You can't be shipped a firearm directly, it must go to an FFL (A licensed gun seller) and you must fill out an ATF Form 4473. This form has your address, social security number, phone number, birth date, legal name, etc... Then this form is submitted to the FBI for a background check. You MUST wait for the FBI to tell the FFL that it's okay to transfer the firearm to you. At which point the FFL collects a fee and you're headed to the range to sight it in. While it's legal for personal transfers and sales to be made, it is ILLEGAL to perform a straw purchase, as described on the form 4473.
I love how she spends the entire video talking about how reasonable the regulation was....just to end up selling it and admitting it is to big of a pain in the ass for the average person.
Some makes sense, some doesnt
why would the average person need a firearm? I mean in america crime is crazy but a part of that is guns are so easily accessed
that's the point, its a gun, it's a pain in the butt to get your drivers licence
@@QuadersXL In Canada, I assume? I'd say the average person absolutely does not need a firearm, which I am grateful to say. Which is why recent bans are ridiculous because legal firearm owners do not contribute to crime statistics.
*Looks down the barrel of the rifle*
“Good job” -alleged firearm safety expert
I mean, that clip is shown out of context. It is the last step in verifying a firearm safe, ie pointing the firearm in a safe direction, removing all the ammunition, observing the empty chamber, verifying the feed path is clear, and checking the barrel for obstructions. It is the first thing you learn in the Canadian firearms safety course.
That depends on where you are I suppose. In the danish army looking down the barrel is the very last control of the firearm after having checked mag pouches, mags, and chamber. In that order.
"Former"
@@TownspersonB I did a little check on the rate of accidental gun deaths per 100 000 people between Canada and the US. Rate for US is 0.15, rate for Canada is 0.03. Not saying checking the bore for obstructions in this manner is the reason for this, but it certainly isn't making things any worse.
@@TownspersonB First of all, the safety course specifies that you clear a firearm in a particular order. If you follow the procedure properly, you're already certain there is no cartridge in the firearm, and it is out of battery, before you inspect the bore. You'd have to be a real moron to look down the barrel of a gun to check if it's loaded, and that's not what's being done.
Secondly, as a whole, Canada has fewer accidental gun deaths than in the US. Therefore, looking down the barrel of a gun to verify it is free of obstructions at the very least hasn't caused any serious problems that would skew those statistics. Just as an aside, Americans may think Canada is a gun free country, but there are actually 4x more licensed gun owners than there are hockey players. Let that sink in.
Also, I should note, that the number of accidental gun deaths was actually much higher in Canada (around 0.22) before the implementation of the Canadian Firearms Safety Course in the early 2000s. Since then, the rate has never gone above 0.09.
Journalist: Looks down barrel.
Instructor: you did good, good job.

Lol fuck.
That's what a rod is for dummy I'm not peaking down shit unless I'm looking down from the chamber not the end of the barrel 😂 this is common sense being an American we don't have to say it, it's unspoken common sense just don't do it.

@@gungan5822 yes an experienced hunter does. and if for some reason I don't I'll break my gun down before I look down the barrel.

Shuyu lol,
Eztli Ixtli nice bait bro
Anyone watching this after the clown banned ar15s
Matthew Luchitti So.. ban it because someone who illegally obtained firearms in Canada shot people in Nova Scotia?
I don’t see how that makes sense at all. If you watch the video, Canada already has strict laws and it’s supposed to only be used for hunting and target shooting - for sports.
It’s a lot like cars. “We don’t need AR15s” = “we don’t need Ferraris”. A lot of people are driving illegally in Canada with suspended licenses or stolen vehicles. Why are cars not getting banned?
The way I see it, guns are being banned from responsible, well trained people who take necessary precautions to be safe with them while criminals continue to obtain firearms illegally, regardless of the gun is banned or not.
Matthew Luchitti no, we’re not like the US and that’s why you can’t use guns for self defense. As I’ve mentioned before, guns were supposed to be used recreationally in Canada.
Sports cars and baseball bats can be used as weapons and can be just as deadly when put in the hands of the wrong people. As you say about guns, you don’t need those either, but here we are.
Funny how no counter arguments aren’t being made for these points I’m making. But I guess guns are scary and we should ban them from responsible owners.
Matthew Luchitti
Search Alek Minassian, the man behind the Toronto van attack. (Sorry not a sports car, but this still applies)
I just made a reasonable comparison but you fail to explain your reasoning. You just keep saying “guns should be illegal, ban them”
I’m not dismissing the idea of making them illegal. I’m not even a gun enthusiast but the arguments made (or lack thereof) by people like you makes me feel like no thought is being made with these suggestions
Matthew Luchitti
Like you said, we’re not like the US. They have different gun laws there that I don’t agree with. In some states it is easier to obtain a firearm legally than obtaining a car. We need to look at the gun laws we had HERE prior to the gun ban.
Now let’s look at gun related deaths in Canada vs car related deaths. It doesn’t even compare.
The problem with what you’re proposing is that yes, criminals will try to get guns over a car, but the laws we had prevent that. If we ban guns all together, they’re still gonna get their hands on them illegally.
@Matthew Luchitti u don't need a car
What good is a gun if you cant use it by law to protect yourself
Technically you can use it to protect yourself. The canadian laws says you can defend yourself with reasonable and proportionate force. So you can shoot a guy that's threatening you with a gun but you'll probably be charged with unlawful storage of a firearm because your guns have to be locked in your home. Stupid I know.
@@IbangedYaMama What about home defense? Like you're sleeping and a dude wearing a ski mask busts through a window with a gun/knife? Do you defend yourself or release one of your polar bears or what?
@@xCaPz The criminal code allows self-defence that is "reasonable" and proportionate". So, unarmed guy breaks into your house and you shoot him, you're in trouble. Yes, it's insane, but that's how it works.
That said, the law regulates the way firearms can be stored in your home. The regulations vary between different class of firearm, but the commonality is that any firearm must be stored unloaded. What that means is if your gun is unloaded but a loaded magazine is sitting right beside it, that's legal. If the loaded magazine is inserted during storage, it's not. If it's a handgun or other restricted-class firearm it must be stored unloaded and trigger-locked inside a locked cabinet. A guy I know who is definitely not me has a small steel combo-safe bolted to the floor under his bed, with an unloaded handgun and two loaded mags in it. Totally meets the storage requirement. And if push came to shove it could be opened and loaded in 20 seconds. Or so he tells me.
Recently a couple of high-profile cases have tested the self-defence laws. In one case a guy in one of the northern territories was home-invaded by drug dealers. When they were fleeing he shot them dead with a surplus Soviet army rifle. He was found not guilty. In another case a farmer accidentally shot and killed a home invader during a botched vehicle theft. He, too, was found not guilty of murder, but found guilty of the lesser charge of improper storage of a firearm because he loaded his (restricted) pistol when sh** started to go down, which isn't allowed except on a range.
With these cases and a few others on the books, hopefully future similar events will result in similar decisions. As it stands right now, even if you're eventually found not guilty, you're still in for a very expensive tour through the judicial system. I'd love to see castle doctrine here, but it's going to take decades.
But when its the time to use it people forget their guns at home
@@ML-dl1cp interesting. In Texas property rights pretty much trumps all. The laws allow you to stop anyone stealing or damaging your property with all necessary force. Key word is necessary. But if an elderly person decided that they can't stop the person by verbal or non-lethal force and the police won't arrive in time to stop them. They can, have, used firearms to defend their property. And in most cases never get charged with anything. And they few times in my life that I've heard of someone having charges filled almost away get them dropped before any trial. Only one case where an old man, I'm his eighties, shot a young Hispanic man, who had knocked on the old man's door for directions. The old man was charged and had gotten a few years in jail. But I think he got out quickly and was just placed on probation for some years. So he got off pretty easy but lost his right to own firearms because of the felony charge.
I remember watching this when it first came out and was proud of this country.....pretty weird to watch this again in the state were in
You were proud the government was restrictive. Amazing. They can restrict you all in cages and promise you "safety", you will have 0 homicide rate. Would you be proud if they could achieve that?
You where proud that you live In a place that you can't even own a gun or conceal carry for self defense????
Just love watching our country rapidly decline 😭
@@MrWick-fi8vo guns are banned....nuff said....I can't conceal carry and I can only own a gun to sport shoot???yeaaaa no fucking thanks
In Canada " you have the right to use whatever force you feel necessary to defend yourself or remove someone from your property". If a person is coming at you in your house with a knife threatening to kill you , you can use lethal force. but if it is proven that the person was not a real threat to life and limb you will be charged . At least thats what a senior member of the R.C.M.P. told me.
Exactly right. You can also defend your family and nobody would charge you for defending any child.
The RCMP are vastly uneducated about the laws they enforce. In Canada you can defend yourself with equal force. So if someone comes at you with a knife you can defend yourself with a knife, if you use a firearm you might have some explaining to do.
ken damer Finnaly a comment that actually uses proper logic
@@BN-dw9jt, the problem with the equal force rationale is that the weapon used is not the only determining factor in deciding the danger a threat poses. If you pit a 150 lb woman armed with a knife against a 250 lb man armed with a knife, the latter still has a significant advantage. Hence why firearms are called "the great equalizer" - they allow individuals who may be unable to protect themselves to fend off or neutralize a threat that may otherwise overpower them.
@@jpabe9321 I agree because I completely disagree with the equal force law. Also if someone breaks into my house in the middle of the night and I am unable to tell if they are armed or not I am going to shoot regardless, I'd rather be in legal trouble than dead.
reasons Canadian own guns:
1. Fun
2. Hunting
-3. To defend themselves from the Americans and to eventually invade the rust belt-
George Loucadellis I know, I'm just saying, Canada might, just might.
Lunar nag. The us military would obliterate y'all.
Statistically speaking, smaller armies have won roughly 60% of the wars fought throughout history.
4. To liberate Greenland from the Danish and build the civilising light of a Timmies on every corner of Nuuk
well. some of us do own guns for self defense even though we don't really have castle laws. there are plenty of cases of law abiding gun owners in Canada shooting and killing people in self defense. on their own properties
Cringe level: over 9000
I was looking for this comment👌
A lot of people have mentioned her looking down the muzzle but it is an actual step you have to take when doing the firearm course . This is after removing all ammunition , observing the chamber and verifying the feeding path . I don’t think anyone really does this outside of the course. I believe they mainly teach this method because most people are acquiring a pal for hunting and snow build up or mud can happen while hunting, but most hunting rifles are bolt action so naturally we would just remove the bolt and observe the bore that way. Most people think it’s a stupid step here too lol
Remember, a few years ago the Canadian government tried to institute total firearms registration, half the people humped up and refused to register their firearms and the government gave up after spending a lot more than was originally budgeted for the program.
Oh boy this comment aged well... Damn Trudeau
Canada: "Only 5 rounds for your AR-15 magazines"
America: Hold my beer
You can buy a Bushmaster AR-15 and 120 round drum mags, bump fire stock, ACOG 4X scope, angled for grip, massive muzzle brake. I love having my freedoms!
I'm an American, and I can't buy any of that, because I don't have money for it, because I'm broke... :L
You can't buy bump-stocks anymore. They're dumb anyway.
We can buy everything else you listed, with the exception of mags that hold more than 5 or 10rds (10rd AR pistol mags are legal in Canada). Yeah, the mag capacity is stupid, but gun laws anywhere are generally stupid.
More to the point, a number of Canadian manufacturers have made products which are basically ARs that get around the restrictions placed on actual ARs. Check out the ATRS Modern Sporter or the Maccabee SLR. Both take all AR parts and accessories, but each one has a proprietary upper/lower that makes them "not an AR" in the eyes of the law.
On the other hand, we can have SBRs without a tax stamp/NFA. I have both a 10.5" Norinco AR and a 7" Radical AR, which required exactly the same paperwork as a 16"-20" AR and no additional fees.
And my 9" Rem 870 clone didn't require any paperwork at all!
If you get rid of the pistol grip then you can have 10
@walt charamba: Says the geniuses, that look down rifle barrels!🤣
@The Rebound Guy You a CNN reporter?
75% of gun deaths in Canada are suicide, 20% are homicide, 2% are accidental, 1% are by law enforcement, and 1% are undetermined.
That woman saying that you are your first responder makes really convincing points. I don't know how someone could argue with that.
How is armed and "reasonable" working out for Canadians now? Begging for the privilege to keep there property

*Looks down the barrel*
"You did great"
no shit, eh? she didn't even study!
You're supposed to do that you dummy.
In canada, civilians are taught to look down the barrel of the gun after checking and emptying the chamber to verify that it is clear of obstructions. This is not the case for the military, they are taught the famous "never look down the barrel of a gun".
In boy scouts we were taught to open the breech and make sure there was no bullet in the breech and leave it open before we put down the rifles and walked to the targets. We were allowed to shoot alone unsupervised at the shooting range but never two or more without a scout master present. The point being alone, you can't be accidentally shot by someone else because there is no one else to shoot you.
The Canadian Safety Course has that as its final step to prove the gun safe. It's done after you remove the mag, and check the chamber. It's to make sure there isn't a blockage in the barrel, which can cause serious damage to the user and those around them if the gun is fired in that condition.
5 rounds for rifles??! Thats it??!!
what do u need 5 rounds for. if you can't make a hit 5 rounds then you probably shouldn't own a gun. you don't need automatic fire either. police on the other hand and the military have 30 round mags
Yes, because it's intended for the range, and to prevent shooting with undisturbed auto. Thats why
So no 150 Rd beta mags? That's gay
+noisy boyyy still thinking like a serf
5 rounds for centerfire rifles or if a firearm has a tube or internal magazine then its how many it holds, if its a restricted pistol max is 10 if its a rimfire like 22 or 17hmr then theres really no restriction but only aftermarket mags on market are like 30 rounds.. but! if its a restricted rimfire then max is 10 too

I think everyone should have that right.
But I do respect the opinions of anti gun advocates.
Fast_Life the self defence laws of the US with most of the gun laws in Canada would make a good combo
Fast_Life Thank you for being a sensible person with respecting other opinions and not starting a random argument.
Fast_Life You can use reasonable force in canada. Someone breaks into your house with a gun, it's reasonable to protect yourself with a gun. If a young kid steals your Xbox and is on the run, is it reasonable to fill them up with 00 buckshot?
+james mcdonald -- It would be wonderful if every case were so black-and-white, but that's not how it works in the real world. The problem here is that there is a whole lot of grey area between the two cases you listed. What if the person _only_ has a knife or crowbar? What if you can't tell if they're armed or not, like if it were dark or if their hands are hidden? What if there are multiple intruders in your home who are _possibly_ armed, while you're still groggy after having been woken up in the middle of the night? There is simply no easy definition of "reasonable force". What is or isn't "reasonable" can even vary between different prosecutors, judges, and jurors. You might as well be leaving your fate up to the roll of a dice. And even if you're exonerated, you'll still likely be stuck with missed work and significant attorneys fees.
The entire idea behind the "Castle Doctrine" in the US is to avoid all these legal grey areas by giving the lawful resident the benefit of the doubt that they had acted in "reasonable fear" for their life. Even if it means a few people use an unnecessary amount of force, it fundamentally boils down to Blackstone's formulation, that "it is better that ten guilty persons escape than that one innocent suffer".
"Cause people that own guns get shot." Ok that's enough internet for me today. And it's only 7am.
Excuse me? There is backgrounds checks, online and at gun shows in every state. Idk where they got this information that there isn’t.
6:08 "No background checks at gun shows" is wrong. Any firearms dealer selling at a gun show in any state MUST go through the steps to conduct a background check. Private sellers, however, are exempt because they aren't dealers. At gun shows, private sellers have about 10% of the available guns for sale. Concealed handgun license-holders may bypass a background check since their license required a thorough BG check before they earned it. I'm on the side of gun rights, but I thumbs downed because you joined the NRA. The NRA only represents some 9% of actual US gun owners.
"They act as if you buy the a gun and take it home on the same day."
in my state we do
I'm in Texas, the United States of America.
Missouri and Kanas, I absolutely can buy a gun and take it home the same day. There's also a website where it helps you locate nearby people who want to sell their guns, which won't require a background check.
Matthew Boyd Right. There are websites that do help people find buyers to meet in person for sales. This is not the same as internet sales, which would require a background check with some very uncommon exceptions.
Phil L private sellers are not dealers, therefore meeting one in person for a sale is very different than ordering online and having a gun shipped to your door. the only issue with that is that craigslist doesn't allow firearm advertisements.
There are no background checks online, in the United States, because the guns that are purchased online are shipped to a federally licensed firearms dealers who, then performs the background check.
Thats not true at all in most states. You can meet someone in a parking lot to exchange guns for cash as happens all the time through sites like armslist.com. Theres only a minority of states like Cali. that require what youre describing which is to have a licensed dealer as an intermediary in a private sale.
Thats not an internet sale.
Chris Co That's a private sale you sheep.
The online sales the OP was referring to make up a very small portion of online firearm transactions. The majority are private sales facilitated online through gun swap sites with no BG check or regulation. You can get caught up on a technical definition of an online sale if you want... or you can wake up to the fact theres literally no regulation for the majority of firearm sales made through online media.
genius.
What part of gun safety involves looking down the barrel of the gun? 7:55
Yeah that caught my eye too, wtf!
