Exactly. It is no secret that the media in America is leftist biased in the extreme, and selective, clever editing of this video made him out to be an insensitive crazy man when in reality he is clear headed, speaks frankly, and has a sense of humor. The mannequins are stage props because he has several war memorabilia museums complete with things like war uniforms and things like that, so that kitchen is part of his historical museum from the 50s era that he shows to tourists who frequent his place.
In America buying tanks is legal. If you have the money, you can buy a modern tank used in the military. However… it’s my understanding that when you buy it, it won’t be fire capable.
@LiteralCrimeRave to license an actual firing tank? That's partially correct, you also need to be a licensed FFL to even remotely own and operate. And there would be a whole lot more tanks rolling around and firing if it was just that easy as $200. So I was wrong on that part...once I looked more at it, yes $200 to just own it...but the issues are actually getting the barrel to fire and the ammunition which is all now labeled a destructive device. The rounds cost $1200 to like $10,000 a shot or some crazy sht. But anyway, you several FFL license to even purchase the ammo also, which the licenses aren't all that crazy expensive either, but you have to go through our wonderful government to get and be watched by....good ole ATF gets to climb in your ass as well
@LiteralCrimeRave so anyway yes I was partially wrong about the license, which is scrutinized heavily because you are now trying to register a destructive device but that one license for the gun is $200
@JayRoss11 No liscence needed. Just register the cannon as a destructive device as well as most of the ammo. No liscence to own a tank, it's just a big tracked vehicle, you just need to buy a pair of rubber tracks sp you can drive it on the road.
In America, whether you are legally allowed to own guns (along with what type of guns and what uses) depends on a few main factors: 1. Which part of the United States you live in - California has banned most semi-automatic rifles and standard-capacity magazines, while Texas doesn't impose many restrictions. 2. Your prior criminal record - one conviction for a nonviolent drug offense is enough to ban someone from owning guns, but most jurisdictions don't impose psychological exams or similar tests due to the potential for said tests to arbitrarily deny rights (gun ownership is an enumerated right in the USA) on the basis of personal bias. 3. Which type of firearm you intend to buy - machine guns made after 1986 are effectively banned from non-commercial private ownership, but single-shot muzzleloaders are not regulated at the federal level. As far as tanks are concerned: for the most part, they are just large vehicles. If they are small enough, light enough, and equipped with rubber tracks, you can legally drive them on public roads. The USA does not regulate vehicle use on private land. However, I personally don't know whether the armament must be removed in order for it to be street legal.
The reason he doesn't sound very concerned is because the killing was done by the people not the item. Also because the likelihood of getting killed in a mass shooting is about the same as getting struck by lightning. Statistically if you avoid places that have "gun free zone" signs and democrat run cities, it'll never happen to you. Also why are you concerned about the number of weapons he has? You can only use a single weapon at a time. Also a single person cannot operate a tank, you need at least a gunner and a driver.
Agreed, it’s not the gun you should be worried about, it’s the one that wields it. Because the gun by itself is harmless until a mentally deranged individual wields it.!
I don't get it man, your video's are all over my fyp and you are such a funny guy. I just don't understand how you are still only at 2k subs. You should be at 2 mil.
Dude we can own cannons. We can own RPGs we can own assault weapons you just got to have a license and get a background check among some other things.😂 When we say America is the land of the free. There is no exaggeration we are dead ass serious about freedom an self governing among other very American things
Obviously nobody in the comments knows anything about this guy. (To include yourself.) You watch a news clip (Which it's very obvious the political slant) and draw conclusions. Maybe people should look further into this guy. He runs a business. Yes, he deals firearms, legally. Yes, he owns many automatic weapons, that people can rent at his range and fire. No, the weapons can not leave his property. Yes, it is legal to own a tank, most of them are made inoperable to fire. (Most. Yes, you can own a fully operational tank that fires BUT the licensing and background checks and fees are something that very few can afford.) Also, part of his business is a museum, hence the mannequins. There is so much more to this that the media is NOT telling you. Is he quirky/different? Yes. Absolutely. Because he owns all of this for his business that obviously he has made very good money at, does that make him mentally unsound? No. People, really do your own research before drawing conclusions based on a 4 or 5 minute news story. Things are not always what they seem.
I agree, although I'm still not sure if the most disturbing thing are the weapons or the huge Coca Cola sign. And why is the bed so small when this guy is so loaded? Edit: ok, I wrote this after seeing that old picture. It seems the current bedroom is different. Well, still creepy af.
Love your channel! Subscribed. As an American, I can tell you, that is an excessive amount of guns, literal overkill. Most of us "normal" Americans just own 1 or 2. Personally I own 2.
2:10 This "bumstock" thing can be printed with a 3D printer and essencialy turns a semi-auto rifle into a full auto rifle... good bless the gun nuts. I mean he owns over 4.000 guns, he can; at max; use two at the same time... this guy is a hero. Keeping always 3,998 guns out of crazy peoples hands. I am impressed and depressed at the same time. Kudos
I don't know what to say. This is just insanity on a higher level. How is this even ok to own and use. This guys dress up his dressup dolls and talks to them and have 4000 guns and a god damn tank. I just, i cant....
That guy sounds crazy. A lot of what he said gives normal gun owners a bad name. I have what many might consider a lot of guns. I just like them and shooting them is fun. I like to shoot in competitions when I can. Most Americans who have a lot of guns are just normal people who like to collect guns, because they are fun and there are so many different kinds to enjoy at a range. That's how you end up getting so many.
One of the great failures of our system is that everyone isn’t armed like this guy. The way the founders intended was for the people to be Americas army. If that had not ever been disregarded, we would still be free, and the government sure as hell would not ever have even tried Waco or Ruby ridge. Let alone gotten away with it. Value your rights!!
America is deeply, deeply disturbing. The mannequins are even more worrying than the guns. This man has the mindset of Billy the Kid. And he must make masses of money dealing in guns too. This video is weirdly, gruesomely fascinating. And creepy.
I don’t trust the old man in this video. I’m a gun owner myself but the way he talks and mentions tragic events and just laughs about it makes me nervous. 😐
Woah, that man has more weapons than you can find in GTA V lol. Well, some people collect match boxes, other people collect weapons, it's just what you like. Personally I'm against all sort of fire arms, if we were a real intelligent species, we wouldn't need weapons, but farming tools.
Correction: If we all lived by a common set of moral principles that included not causing harm to each other, we wouldn't need weapons. The majority lives by some form of this moral code. However, there are plenty of intelligent people who intentionally harm others for their own gain. Unfortunately, evil people always have and always will exist. Those people will always exploit the weaknesses of others. From gang bangers and mass killers to governments wanting complete control. If you can't defend yourself, they will exploit it every chance they get. As long as humans are around, weapons will always be necessary.
Except the kids killed in school shootings i guess? Not to mention all the other people killed by unregulated gun ownership in the US (48,830 in 2021 - 2,590 of them kids…)
This seems like a huge disaster waiting to happen. Mental health check once when purchasing the gun is pointless, anyone could crack at some point years later. They need continuous periodic checks.
I just want to let you know, not all gun owners and enthusiast are like this. Some of us are passionate about the mechanics and evolution of firearms and the history of them, some of us grew up in the sticks where we grew up with firearms being a part of everyday life ( between hunting, protection from wild hogs, putting down livestock that are suffering from an injury they are not able to recover from, and even to protect some of the livestock from other animals), Unfortunately you do also have to want-to-be civilians that were never in the military that dress as operators and fantasize about going to war or a collapse of society ( both are absolutely horrible and should never be hoped for ). I just wanted to let you know there are some good folks out here that love firearms. Take care bud, I hope you come and enjoy the best parts the US has to offer, it can be an amazing place when you sift pass some of our down sides.
5:52 I know this was not intended to be funny but your facial reaction along with what he said ( The mannequin thing is disturbing ) just made me laugh so hard, you can see genuine concern all over his face. First time coming across this channel, subscribing.
