I found it interesting when he referred to the U.S. as a favorite uncle. With the U.K. being so much older, I always saw us in the U.S. as the wayward kid trying out new things with the uncle across the pond rolling his eyes. Lol.

The UK isn't that old. The Acts of Union of England and Scotland only happened in 1707; the Acts of Union of Great Britain and Ireland happened in 1801; and the current government of England should perhaps be dated to the Glorious Revolution of 1689.

Private ranges are much, much more comfortable to train at lol.

My parents and siblings were legal immigrants to the US. (I was born here) We were raised to think of ourselves as Americans, not hyphenated Americans. I was five years old in 1964 when my parents were naturalized. They were so proud to become U.S. citizens and to this day I'm convinced that was the biggest party in my family's history including weddings.

@oldcodger4371 Год назад

I open carry when I'm riding my bike. Now I live in a county of about 18,000-20,000 people in rural North Carolina. We have Bears, Bobcats, Coyotes, and even Mountain Lions have been seen here. So you best believe that my 9mm is always loaded with 17 rounds and strapped to my hip. When I go check my trail cameras, I take my semi auto shotgun loaded with Brenneke style slugs with me because when you are unarmed, that's when trouble comes looking for you, and I ain't fixin to be some critters dinner.

@Meg0307 Год назад

Yes. That's a great point that many in other countries don't consider when thinking about our use of guns here in the US. Protection from dangerous and predatory animals is very important in many states. We have wolves, coyotes, bears, moose, bobcats, and mountain lions here in WI, especially Northern WI. So important to have a gun for protection.

@Austral13 Год назад

That is so true. I'm around central WI and bounce between there and the UP. And it's common knowledge that you carry some type of firearm when you go out beyond the cities. I've heard stories of people just walking their dogs or collecting firewood and next thing they know they are surrounded by a pack of wolves. There's the predators but also too you can't really underestimate the moose or deers even.

Our culture definitely differs by state, but many states our similar by region and sub-regions. Such as where I am here in the South most White Southerners people are descended from Scottish, Scots-Irish, Northern English and Cornish (as well as the rest of the West Country) as well as Black Southerners most find their roots back to West Africa. As for New England they have a good amount of South English ancestry as well as Irish and Italian. Much of the Great Lakes region has a lot of Scandinavian ancestry and much of the Midwest has German and various English ancestry. We’re just a melting pot and I love that.

(2) the other side of the coin is Sheree United States, become invaded American people can rise up and fight invaders

The Greek -American festival, the Polish- American festival, the India-American Festival and the German American festival.

Everyone looks forward to these festivals as a time to not only celebrate the different cultures but to taste the authentic dishes.

In the south they say App-a-lah-cha. In the north we say Apple-lay-cha. Same mountain range. You can't just walk into a gun shop, choose a weapon, and then walk right out with it. There is a process you have to go through. Some states require you to pass a gun safety course as one of the prerequisites. And there is also a background check. etcetera I'm originally from Maine, which is the most Caucasian state in the union, and also the state with the highest percentage of persons of English decent. English surnames are the majority, followed by Scottish, Irish, and French (Maine borders Quebec Province, so duh.).

It's hard even for many Americans to understand, but the US was founded on ideas of Natural Law. When it comes to guns, understand that when it all boils down, you are the one that is responsible for your own safety. We create institutions like government and police to try provide some saftey, but in a moment of danger, it is on you. The job of the police is really more to deal with the aftermath of crime. In the US, you are supposed to be responsible for yourself, and it is an act of responsibility to own and carry a firearm so that you are able to protect yourself and your loved ones, perhaps even your community, if the necessity should arise. People just need to realize that Americans carry firearms because they are dutiful and responsible citizens.

What most Europeans and whatnot don't understand is, while Fire Arms being legal, they think you can walk right into a shop and walk right out with a handgun with no problem. Maybe in some area in some state but sure not here. There are huge background checks. A while back my Father had my Mother purchased a 4:10 shotgun. Christ, the store made her sign all kinds of things, they took her driver's license. She went through, I think it was four days of background checks before she could even buy it. My God, My mother, a 75-year-old woman had to even give her fingerprints.

The last and most significant allegiance I have to a State is of Georgia where my Dad moved our family when I was just nine months old. My wife and I came back to Georgia after my military enlistment was over and we have lived here for over forty years. Of course our allegiance to the Stars and Stripes is the most important.

As an American who lives near a Canadian border, you’ll never hear a Canadian refer to themselves as American even though they are from the North American continent. The same is true for South American, people would just say I’m from Mexico or Puerto Rico, and etc. So if you’re from Europe and you meet someone that says they’re American, it’s a safe bet that they mean they’re from the U.S.A. And not some other country in North or South America.

I am: a) from Texas (Katy, just outside Houston), b) currently living in Canada, and c) a professional historian. So as an historian, I really think that a lot of the differences between US culture and that of the UK (and many of their other former colonies, including Canada) is based around the fact that the US is one of, if not the only, former British colony to gain their independence through war, rather than diplomacy. This is often cited when people arguing for gun rights, as in "what would we have done to fight off the TYRANNY of King George III if we hadn't all had guns?" And that's often the argument still today - essentially, we need our guns in case the government gets out of control and needs to be overthrown. Also, with the fact that the US is so big, you can often find yourself 100+ miles from even the nearest small town in this country and the wildlife in such places can be vicious - ergo, a gun to protect yourself from such dangers.

@WyoMedic540 Год назад

You're spot on! I lived overseas in Kuwait and the UAE for five years. On a couple of occasions I saw American civilians get into confrontations with locals and suddenly that American had five, or more American civilians standing shoulder to shoulder with him.

I always enjoy your videos and this one was no exception. For perspective Scotland England and Wales fit inside North Carolina alone. And it's pronounced App-uh-latch-an. The North argues with us about it, but I can prove it. I was an anthropology major at Appalachian University with a focus in archeology. The Appalachian mountains were named for the App uh latch ee Indians (spelled for phonetics, not correctly obviously)

His true in USA, we are very proud of our nation. It’s also very true about many citizens here have guns and weapons. I feel sorry for the foreign nation that tries to invade the United States they would not only have to fight our military, but also our citizens that are well armed 😎👍🏻

The trip he was talking about included a visit to my hometown, New Orleans. He did (I believe 4) vlogs from there. It was so fun seeing his reactions to his air b&b accommodations, the music here and especially the food.

@gwgux Год назад

That was interesting to it from that perspective. If you ever have the chance to visit again and see some other states, you'll probably wonder how it's the same country for how different some regions can be, but then you'll see our flag everywhere and then it'll make sense.

I know I’m 100% American born and raised ! Yet , my heritage is crazy English , Irish ,Scottish, Welch and German - a lot of craziness in that past but my living relatives are some of the nicest people on Earth , having three Family Cousins that are Catholic Nuns and 1 Priest ! But I love who I am and what I’ve experienced in life ❤

Lol tbf St. Patty's day is just another reason to get extremely drunk in the US. Most young people celebrating (especially in cities with good night life) aren't even considering heritage or tradition. Always a good time.

Also another thing about guns about going to shooting ranges is if you're not terrified of them, you'll probably walk away loving the experience. Because when you get that equalizing power in your hand to reach out and touch something that's up to a Mile away with just the pull of a trigger, you start to feel something. I called it an equalizer, because a gun in the hand of the smallest person, for females especially, suddenly makes them as strong as the biggest dude or wild animal out there. We often applaud it when a woman who's packing a gun in her purse is able to take out an aggressor without anybody else getting hurt. There's this viral video of a woman doing just that in the front of one of those covered walkways in the front of a building. The dude was assaulting somebody and the lady pulled out her gun and shot the assailant dead. And she was not charged. Video clearly showed that it was a justified self-defense case.

@Meg0307 Год назад

I live in an open carry state (Wisconsin), I see guns openly carried often in public, and I carry my own gun concealed nearly every day. It's just a protective tool...Also fun to shoot! It's such a normal thing to me. It's interesting to hear other people's perspectives.

@denise1194 Год назад

I was born and raised in rural North Carolina, and guns have always been around. In high school, we had a hunter safety course that we had to pass. At the end of the course, they brought rifles and shotguns to the school, and we shot skeets. At this time, I own a rifle. I have used it. We have a lot of venomous snakes here. I'm not going to get close enough to a snake to get rid of it with a hoe. With a rifle, I can handle that from a good, safe distance. Guns are not the problem. It is the people.

@williamjordan5554 Год назад

New York is about as non-typical America as you can get except for Puerto Rico, where the language is different. If you're ever interested in typical America, Missouri is your best bet. It's where fast food companies would test new recipes because success in Missouri correlated strongly with success in America.

@JGlaister Год назад

I think part of why we cling to our heritage so much is that we aren't very far removed from it. Our country is very young. My grandmother was from Coatbridge, Scotland. My great-grandfather was born in Cockermouth, England. Also, many ethnic groups settled in specific areas. The Italians may all live in one section of a city, while the Polish were grouped in another. One small town near me has an area of less than a square mile, but there were 3 Catholic churches: one Irish, one Polish, and one Slovak.

@shyryTsr2k Год назад

What's so funny is that recently I did research on the history of my last (family) name and while reading I learned that the first person to bare my last name was from Scotland and it's an occupational name which back then was used for whatever occupation that person was in. That's how us "Sheppard's" were born, sheep herders way back when.

@danhollifield Год назад

Yeah, we can be a bit complicated in the US. Mostly, we dislike being told what to do or how to live, by anyone. Even each other, LOL! From the outside, that can look like anarchy, but when it works best it's more like mutual cooperation. I live about 90 miles due East of Atlanta, in Georgia--the former 13th and final British colony in the US. Parts of Northeast Georgia, East Tennessee, and the Carolinas look a lot like Southern and Central England--without the extra hundreds and hundreds of years of history that shaped the character of the English, Irish, and Scottish countryside. Even my wife, who is from Portsmouth, England has remarked on the resemblance. You'd enjoy visiting this part of the South--except for the Summer heat and humidity, LOL!

@gregorywright2798 Год назад

I've been on a gun target team for 50 years and I get more enjoyment out of shooting targets. Then I would go too a movie or anything else. It's just a lot of fun especially if you're with a group of people that have your same Passion.

As an American, if I was overseas, I’d probably say that if asked. Within the US, I’m a Californian. Pretty sure most people around the world that speak some amount of English would know about California; whereas they might not have heard of Rhode Island, Wyoming, Iowa, etc.

Also, to Americans, the term "American" is NEVER ambiguous. We don't use that term to describe Canadians and Mexicans- like ever. It is so weird to me when British people refer to Canadians as Americans. On the rare occasion we refer to the people of this continent, we specifically say "North Americans", which to us is a totally different distinction. The term American is really only people in the USA when we say it.

Great, and I love you guys and your reactions, but now you've gotten to the point where you asked Millie (sp?) if she was ready THREE TIMES! It's becoming compulsive! :) Sean is right about states and cities being very different, which I think most people from outside the US don't realize. For example, Chicago is VERY different and distinct from New York City, and is not just another generic big city. America is so much more than our coastal cities and Texas and Florida. There is a vital and important 3000 miles of country in the middle which is more than just farmland and small towns.

I'd argue it's a testament to general gun responsibility in the US that we only have as many shootings as we do considering there are more guns than people. Also, you can't just walk into a gun store and walk right out locked and loaded. Maybe a few states.

@alanj4328 Год назад

Great video (Shaun) and reaction (Beesleys). Couple of thoughts: 1. I consider myself an American, and a North Carolinian, almost equally, but with slight edge for nation over state. But I would expect others around me to go the opposite way, in varying degrees in both direction along the continuum. As long as we're bascially law-abiding and loyal to both, it's okay by me. 2 As for heritage, my history is American history as far back as 1776, and besides colonial history, I feel kinship with UK/British/English history from before then. While I remain insterested in UK history since then, I feel like English history prior to 1776 is MY (ancestral) history. I enjoy the channel. Keep up the good work.
