It depends heavily on the state where you live. I live in WV, I can pretty much own anything I want. We have constitutional carry here. No license or permit required to carry concealed. If you want full auto you’ll need a permit from the ATF and many $$$$$ everything else isn’t usually a problem unless it’s an SBR or sawed off shotgun.
As long as you're not convicted of a felony or a domestic disturbance you can own just about anything. Silencers, rifles with barrels shorter then 16 inches (18 inches if a shotgun) and full autos made before 1986 can be owned, but need a $200.00 tax stamp and registered with the ATF. Thats the basics of federal law. Certain states have alot more restrictions similar to European countries. .308 (7.62×51) semi auto rifles are my favorite. Ar-10, Sr-25, FAL, SCAR, etc...
My favorite firearm is my grandfather's Remington Model 700 in .30-06. He bought it in the mid-1950s and gave it to me when he died. A lot of people came out of the woodwork when he died to try and take that gun, so it was transported to me, across state lines, in the middle of the night with another vehicle being used as a decoy.
Shotguns FTW. Super-versatile, used for protection, work and fun. Some shotguns come with interchangeable barrels for specific purposes like short barrels for home defense, long smooth bore barrels for small game/bird hunting/sport shooting, and rifled barrels for sabot rounds useful for medium range big game hunting. Benelli M2 is my favorite shotgun
My favorite weapon to shoot is an M1 garand, It was my first rifle that I bought (well had my dad buy with my money when I was 12 after 2 years of cutting grass for the neighborhood) so I grew up shooting it and it has become second nature for me. I'm in Florida so as long as you aren't a felon you can get almost anything if you have the money.
@@evanmoore2141 The other famous made-up quote is that one supposedly from Admiral Yamamoto "Behind every blade of grass is a gun".....there is no evidence that he ever actually said that.

The civilian Ukraine resistance is a great example of why having an armed citizenry with military equivalent firearms is important. (Even bs tanks and planes)
This is the purpose of the 2nd Amendment. If Ukraine was a country that had a rifle behind every blade of grass. I do not believe Russia would have invaded in 2014.
@@JRock3091 Wellll...the 2nd Amendment applies to the US, not Ukraine, and the US isn't going to be invaded by a hostile military force anytime in the foreseeable future. Here in the US, the threat we'll face will be from _domestic_ government at some level, not a foreign government, or organized criminals like the Mexican cartels. In other words, whereas in Ukraine the citizenry needed to fight _with_ government forces against invaders, here in the US we're more likely to need to fight _against_ government forces. That might have some effect on the weapons and training we would choose to acquire.

Since the beginning of time, every ruling government has the innate desire to rule through tyranny and to take away individual rights over time.

Just a couple points to clear up: AR stands for Armalite Rifle, not assault rifle. The AR15 is NOT a military rifle, it was developed by Armalite as a. 223 caliber sporting rifle. The M16 (and variants) as well as the M4 (and it's variants) were developed from the AR15.
And the AR was first sold to civilians. It wasnt until later that the military (USAF) picked up the military variant. So if anything, the military is using a civilian style rifle ;)
I served in the US Army and one of my MOS’ is 45B small arms repair. Basically I fix every firearm in the US Army inventory. I have seen every type of guns in the Army except one. I have never seen an AR15 in the military. My civilian friends have them, but not the Army
I love my Benjamin AR. I'm not a tall woman and with hardly any kick I really enjoy firing this gun. I would recommend this one for anyone. Plus it's affordable. And it's a good investment.
I think it's really sad that Britain citizens allow their government to control them and not have weapons you not really a free country if you're not as armed as your military. If another country wanted to take over Britain all they have to do is beat the military. Once you get through the United States military you going to be met with an even greater force 127 million Americans with over 400 million firearms. It is so sad that Britain citizens cannot defend themselves.
This is very true. That's why the GOP is scared that if they don't tow the line some of Trump's followers will come to their house gunning for them. That's why. even though they wanted to hang Mike Pence on Jan. 6, they now downplay it as a typical tourist visit. And never mind the cop who was killed by a rioter carrying a blue lives matter flag. Just ignore that completely.
5:02 It is disappointing to me that a British Marine understands the purpose of the 2nd Amendment to the US Constitution better than most US guntubers, not even mentioning elected officials
RIp Brandon Dunnegan's grammar he never learned "alot" isn't in the dictionary. its actually "a lot" with a space. alot isn't a contraction its a unfortunately common typo.
You're the first man from England that i've heard..that realized that "the right of the people to keep and bear arms" was specifically included as the final "check and balance" for the government. Sadly, many elected officials would like to see it done away with. It's not hard to imagine why.
There are a lot of us from England that believe in the right to have arms. We just fall under two categories first those of us who have left Britain because of the stupid laws. If you ever visit the gun ranges of Central and Eastern Europe you will meet thousands of us!!! And those who are holding on in the UK with their long barrelled pistols, air gun licences and 22lr AR's. If they publicly speak out in defence of gun rights in the UK the police come and take their guns and licences so people stay quiet (just like what happened to the guy who runs the english shooting youtube channel). The police seriously look at social media etc, it's like 1984. It's kind of sad but it is what it is.
Except it has literally nothing whatsoever to do with being a "check on the government". That's something that you fools invented out of whole cloth in the last hundred years. The Amendment says EXACTLY why the right to bear arms is protected. Because "a well regulated militia is necessary to the security of a free state." Not because "I might want to overthrow the government if I'm butthurt that my candidate lost the election."
@@SRosenberg203 Are militias legal in US? Most militia organizations envisage themselves as legally legitimate organizations, despite the fact that all 50 states prohibit private paramilitary activity. Others subscribe to the "insurrection theory" which describes the right of the body politic to rebel against the established government in the face of tyranny. read that last sentence. so yes, while it is not "technically" mentioned in the 2nd amendment, the definition of "militia" provides you the power to overthrow a tyrannical government...
@@chriswright9083 The militias of the 1770s have been replaced by the National Guard of each state. So if we want to get really technical, the entire second amendment is completely archaic, since the entire purpose for which it was written no longer exists. That is why gun fetishists have had to come up with new justifications for why it exists, and have invented their reasoning that the Founders were intentionally giving them the right to unilaterally decide that an elected official who didn't vote for is a "Tyrant" and rise up to depose them with violence.
@@chriswright9083 technically speaking, any able bodied person from age 17 to 70 who isn't a public official or military is the United States Militia. Some of us who recognize that like to get together and train ourselves for disaster preparedness. We help with relief with natural disasters such as earthquakes, storm damage, wildfires, etc. We have some who train as first responders and are trained in first aid. We are trained in combat in case we have to defend our homeland from invaders, which is not a likely scenario, but we're trained just in case.

Actually, I think all three are true in his case, Biden, as he defends that statement by assuring us that you couldn't buy a cannon back in the 1700's so all the regulations are clearly common sense ... when you could in fact buy a cannon, or anything else.
“ Every American Should be Armed “ Yes, but I feel “ The Second Amendment “ should be a “ Human Right “ that Everyone in the World should have because it is paramount to keeping Tyranny at bay.

Barry was a walking encyclopedia when it came to firearms. I watched him Eric for a long while. Actually met Eric at Bass Pro in Macon a few years back. Very nice guy, we chatted for about fifteen minutes. Sadly Barry passed away some years back from cancer I believe. Iraqveteran8888 is an awesome channel for sure.
Ironically here in N.Ireland we've got by far the most liberal gun laws in the UK, I've had a pistol since I left the army in the late 1980s (a SIG 226 at present) my firearms cert also covers a full bore semi auto rifle and a shotgun, IMO the firearms regulations in the rest of the UK are insane and here in NI there's been no-one killed with a legally held weapon since 1978.
Honestly as a NYer I feel like a brit sometimes with these insane laws. But I can imagine there is a large minority of freedom loving people there as we have here in NY.
Here in the midwest of America (Ohio). Pass a Background check (takes a few minutes). Buy weapon of choice. Drive to range. Pay to shoot 20 dollars and hour..

The English were successful at colonization partly because their settlers were taught it was their personal responsibility to defend and provide for themselves. The Spanish, French, Dutch, etc had restrictions on their settlers and their allowed capabilities and that's partly why expansion was so difficult for them.

As a cpl holder I choose to carry a glock 19. I think a person should be able to defend themselves by any means necessary within reason. Disarming the public doesn't disarm the criminals.

You are still one us because of what you just said. You have the wherewithal to know it's dangerous for you to have them but in your own way will protect us that have them.
Hope you get better. I love that you choose not to have guns. It really shows that you value your own life and the fact the you want Friends and family to have guns means you value their lives too. Good luck in life
i hope that doesn't stop you from enjoying firearms. you can always rent at most indoor ranges, or even leave your firearms with trusted family if you ever want to make that investment. i say this half joking, but think about how much more depressed you'd be if you couldn't get one when you needed it. i remember in california we thought we wouldn't be able to get any more AR's so i bought one with just enough time that i could still do the 10 day waiting period and still take possession before the end of the year. turns out they could sell them with weird grips or with fixed magazines, but it wasn't a smooth transition and we weren't sure if there would be an approved version.
So hard to comment on other people's governments when guns are just ingrained in our culture. I could not imagine a life without firearms. After reading our history and reading the Constitution and the Bill of Rights quite literally scares me to think of all the United States without guns and what the outcome will be with our first amendment and the rest of our rights
The Czech Republic is one of the few other nations standing up for citizens' rights to self-defense, as both a human right and also as a response to everything they went through in the 20th Century.
With you 100% considering the reason the 2nd is so important in our country. Couldn't imagine not having it. Couldn't imagine not having all the guns I've grown with, or collected as I got older. Couldn't imagine government Oath Breakers stupid enough to think their life is more important than any citizen they represent.
As a new viewer from the US, I appreciate your respect for our laws and such. I like their list but I would prefer something like this, no particular order: 1. AR-15 platform in 5.56, either 12.5" or 14.5" barrel (Knight's Armament SR-15 is one of the best civilian battle rifles on the market = 14.5") 2. Remington Model 870 or Benelli M1014 in 12 gauge (the latter is no longer available to civilians because of federal laws) 3. A reliable 9mm handgun, my personal favorites are the Glock 17 and Sig Sauer P320 4. A reliable 7.62x51 dmr, probably an SR-25 or M110 SASS variant (for reaching out beyond the AR's range) 5. Lastly, the classic and versatile Ruger 10/22 (excellent for closer precision shooting and taking down game)
With respect, battle rifles generally are .30 caliber and larger. So while 5.56 is a great round it is not a "battle rifle" per say. Unless that term has been refined in the last 20 years or so.
@@robertfairchild8299 That may very well be the case, I have just noticed modern militaries are switching the standard issue rifle to a smaller caliber like 5.56 or 7.62x39 which is why I called it a battle rifle. The SCAR 17S would be an excellent choice for a true battle rifle, you can clear a building if you have to while a 16.25in or 20in barrel and .308 rounds allow you to easily reach out to 800 yards with a good round.

AR-15. They ought to call it the Burger King Rifle, because "You CAN have it your way." Want something that can reach out to 1,000 yards? Swap out the 5.56 NATO upper for a .224 Valkyrie one, get some mags and a good scope, and you've got a rifle that's just getting warmed up at 600 yards. Want something more hearing-friendly for home defense? Swap out the upper for one in .300 Blackout, add a can, a red dot sight, and a weapon light, and you can make any home intruder regret his victim choice - deeply. And switching between the three is as simple as pushing out the takedown and pivot pins, swapping the upper receiver, and replacing the pins. Each upper has it's own sight system (high-mag scope for .224 Valkyrie, 1-6x LPVO for 5.56, and red dot sight for .300 Blackout), so you don't have to re-zero. And that doesn't take into account the many other options to accessorize with various combinations of slings, stocks, pistol grips, etc. I've seen ARs described as, "Legos for adults. Perhaps, but you're far less likely to step on an AR upper in your bare feet. ;-D

Hey Mate, My all time favorite bolt action weapon is the old 30-06 caliber round. Very deadly accurate at long distances, easy access to ammo almost everywhere(even California), and has a huge bullet weight range that will let you kill anything on the planet.

Shotgun for home defense or hunting, and a bolt gun for hunting and perhaps even long-range shots. It's essentially every form and function you should have
We're too busy screaming against a plastic pistol and extolling the virtues of an M1911A1 and M1A. Although, the Ruger is OK with CCI Stingers at killing, cleaning and cooking a rabbit at 50 meters. ;) As for suppressed, meh. I'm of mixed views there, largely because I'm nearly deaf in one ear, can't hear worth a damn with the other.
Absolutely everyone should have the following 1. AR15 2. AK47 3. GLOCK PISTOL 4. PUMP OR SEMI AUTO SHOTGUN 20 OR 12GA 5. RUGER 10/22 Absolutely agree with the video
My most preferred rifle would be an AR-10 Chambered in .243, it's been named the BA Shredder because a .243 with the right loading out of a 20" barrel can punch through quite a bit.
When people call my AR-15 "military grade," I get deeply insulted; my AR-15 is MUCH nicer than the shite they issue to G.I.s, lol! Isn't select fire, but I can pop a 8" target at 450 yards (supported, of course) with my precision irons. Overall fit and finish is way nicer, too, and the quality of the parts is significantly better, like having the nickel boron BCG, free-floated barrel, and substantially smoother, crisper, and lighter trigger. Also an nicer stock and buffer system. Custom build I built myself, too, and I did a very good job. "Military grade" is the best equipment that can be produced with the lowest budget to achieve the bare minimum task. "Civilian grade" is leagues above military grade, lol! And I do indeed have the CMMG .22LR conversion kit mentioned in the video, which is excellent for my CQB training I do at the range (we have CQB training areas not available to the public, but is available to Range Safety Officers such as myself), as 5.56 gets expensive fast, but .22LR is dirt cheap, and at close range, has pretty much the same POI, and the recoil difference is trivial, as 5.56 has very little recoil - which while more than .22LR, is not THAT much more kick. BTW, being a Range Safety Officer doesn't mean I'm some sort of expert. It just means I took the 2 day course to learn range rules/policy, how to operate and maintain the range, as well as training on how to treat a gunshot wound or rattlesnake bite (rattlers get on the range sometimes, and part of the job is to relocate them without hurting them as per state wildlife laws/policies). I then volunteer my service for 3 days of the year, and maintain my $50 yearly membership. I get a magnetic key, and can then go anytime I want on about 1,700 acres of land with ranges from CQB mock interiors, all the way to 1,000 yard ranges that have shot sensors to detect your hits. It's like a playground for adults... American adults.
5.56x45mm NATO does not "bounce around" inside the target. Neither does .22LR; that's pure Fudd lore. What 5.56 often does is fragment in a target - depending on the ammo selected. 5.56 has a pretty high velocity, and unless you're using steel core (green tip) or AP (black tip, if i recall), the round is typically just lead jacketed in copper. Lead is a soft metal, and when soft metal impacts flesh at high velocity, the hydrostatic shock rips it apart surprisingly fast at closer ranges. Now, if you were hunting at close range, you would select a harder round with a hollow point/polymer tip, as you will get deeper penetration, better expansion, better energy transfer, and a more pronounced wound channel. if you are planning to shoot from longer distances, like military engagements 300+ yards, you want that softer bullet, because the bullet will have lost quite a bit of velocity, and to get better expansion at lower velocity, you want a softer round. Regardless of which ammo you select, a bullet isn't going to "bounce around," because if it had the energy to do so, it's probably gonna either bloom into a big fragmentation pattern and stop quickly, or zip right through the body and keep going. If it somehow doesn't fragment or exit the body, what happens is the elasticity of the flesh will stretch with it a bit, and then snap back, trapping the bullet. The bullet will no longer have the energy to overcome the resistance of the flesh, and so cannot possibly "bounce around." I have no idea how many times this Fudd lore has been debunked, or if there will ever be a time when people stop perpetuating this nonsense. Your body isn't a empty steel oil drum where a bullet can just ricochet around with nothing to slow it down between impacts. If you doubt me, go ahead and watch countless slow-mo videos of bullets hitting flesh (gotta love Paul Harrell's famous "meat target") or flesh-like mediums such as ballistic gel targets. Bullets can fragment, tumble, get captured, or punch through flesh and bone. They do not "bounce around" like some sort of pinball of death. Pure horse shit Fuddery.
I think that the funnest pistol to shoot is a CZ-52 7.62x25. My favorite concealed carry pistol is a Beretta Cougar 8045 in 45ACP. What I have on me most often though, is a Ruger .380 because it is so concealable. It has 10 rd replacement magazines, full of hydra shock type bullets. My rifle for TEOTWAWKI is a DPMS AR-10 .308 caliber semiautomatic with 20 rd magazines!
Mosins fell victim to our small arms embargo with Russia. If that were lifted, there are probably still millions of those beasts swimming in cosmoline, awaiting resurrection by American enthusiasts, not to mention the Russian-made SVDs and AKs that would be gobbled up by Com-Block fans in the US. The five essentials remain the same: • Handgun • 12-gauge pump shotgun • Semiauto 22LR • Bolt-action precision hunting rifle • Semiauto sporting rifle, either an AR or an AK variant Given the incessant attempts of infringement by the Left, one might add the following as at least desirable, if not essential: • Handguns and lowers made from 80% kits (self-made and perfectly legal) • a GhostGunner CNC mill to make more firearms at home as needed. Oh, and for each weapon system you need a minimum of 1,000 rounds held in reserve-1k each of 9mm, 22LR, and 5.56 for sure. Maybe less for the 12-gauge or the bolt gun, say 500 each. That’s what every home in the United States should be equipped with as a baseline.
Another thing I like about the AR platform is the .300 blackout upper which when paired with sub-sonic ammo and a suppressor is quiet and packs a punch. The rail system is great because of all the optics that mount to it.
You’ve never shot it nor do you pull down enough to own it: if I’m wrong on that front you’re still peak cringe, congratulations as you’ve clearly strived for this your whole life.
