Gun Gripes Episode 14: Gun laws that are FUBAR 

"California has got to be the worst place to live if you are a gun owner." New York: "Hold my soy latte."

"When I carry a gun, you cannot deal with me by force. You have to use reason and try to persuade me, because I have a way to negate your threat or employment of force. The gun is the only personal weapon that puts a 100-pound woman on equal footing with a 220-pound mugger, a 75-year old retiree on equal footing with a 19-year old gangbanger, and a single gay guy on equal footing with a carload of drunk guys with baseball bats. The gun removes the disparity in physical strength, size, or numbers between a potential attacker and a defender." (Marko Kloos)

One time my dad was sick so at school i drew him some guns and the teacher said it wasnt something i should be doing and i had to put them away. Because you know one day the gun couldve jump off the paper and killed someone.

Violence is not a gun problem. It is a moral problem.

to be quite honest if i was to find a full-auto thompson in my granddads attic... wait... what thompson? i dont know what you're talking about, i dont own a thompson

It's okay not to own a gun, but it isn't okay to say that nobody should.

How the media views weapons: AK-74 = AR-15 Glock 17 = AR-15 Bowie Knife = AR-15 Car keys = AR-15 Fist = AR-15

"Those who hammer their guns into plowshares will plow for those who do not." - Thomas Jefferson

I remember once when I was in 3rd grade, we were reading a book as a class. My teacher was reading and when she came across the word 'shotgun' she replaced it with 'blank' like it was a bad word. Being outspoken as I was, I shouted out "why'd you blank out shotgun!?" She didn't take to kindly to that and sent me to the office. They gave me a detention for using 'violent terms'. And that was back in '02-'03. What she did was ignorant and wrong.

Rest in peace Barry. I come back everyone once in a while and watch the older videos in respect. Hope he's shooting guns in a better place.

As a Canadian that is forced to register our handguns and certain "military type" semi auto rifles has not lead to confiscation as of yet and IF it ever did I would NOT ever give up my guns and hope my American cousins would back us up because at the end of the day I grew up the same as any red blooded American feeling guns are a right not a privilege.

"What's the first thing you think of when you think about stupid gun laws?" California...

There is one thinng that i see as strange. It is illegal to make your own SBR, but if you are willing to pay 200$, then it is fine. So the SBR is not illegal, but defrauding the goverment of the tax is. The same with supressors, and many other things. If they were so bad, the would be illegal to own and make, but all your goverment wants is a tax, and then it is okay. I see no point in unlicensed guns being illegal, but when the things that makes it okay is a tax, then soemthing is wrong.

This was one of my most favorite Gripes with Barry. .. 😢😢😭 Your never forgotten Barry, we are still missing you in 2020 and forever will brother, you and IV8888 have taught us soo much 😢😢😢

You are talking about UK, but what about the rest of the world? I live in Poland, and in my country if you want to have a gun, you have to ask Local Police Headquarters for permission. They can deny it whiteout giving you a reason and they usually do. I can tell you one Americans, you should protect yourself from socialism at any cost, because there's nothing worse then that...

When I was a child, I didn't know about the brady bill, but I did like Clinton. I also believed in Santa and wanted to be a ninja turtle when I grew up

Its sad how they baned post 1986 mg's. we need to repeal the 1986 mg ban.

As a 16 year old Canadian citizen, I envy the fundamental rights that you Americans possess. Makes me wish I was born there instead of this corrupted pseudo-socialist country.

Bill Ruger said that no honest man needs more than ten rounds in a magazine. He was wrong about that. Ruger is better off without him now. RIP

I remember when my dad told me he was aloud to leave his guns in the back of his truck when he went to school because they would go hunting or whatnot after school. Nowadays people get expelled for saying the god damn word.

Great video! Loved what was said at the end: "Because as long as you got that gun in your hand, they have to reason with you, they can't force you." VERY true!!!

"when you think of Bullshit gun laws what's the first thing you think of?" *Canadian anthem starts to play*

They should have people at gun buy backs to note the actual value or historical significance of the firearms so that valuable antiques and heirlooms aren't just destroyed for nothing because the owners are too ignorant to know the value of get it appraised. I've heard of too many people bringing in antiques and valuable guns that go for thousands upon thousands of dollars to be sold for 50$ and destroyed. It sickens me just to even know that such valuable pieces of history are destroyed all do to ignorance and greed, something has to be done. I support the people outside these events that actually buy them for fair prices and care about the history of the guns

Still holds true in 2019 brothers

Greetings from Australia ! You guy's are lucky you don't have our laws ! Make sure it does'n't get worse !

Those were the days. In 2012 knives were banned in the UK. You couldn't leave the house with a knife longer than 3.5 inches. These days people are getting arrested for having a blunt potato peeler hidden in their pocket. No joke, someone is actually in court for that very thing in Scotland, has never attacked or threatened anyone or used it in a violent way. People are getting arrested for carrying a kitchen knife home from the store with a receipt and packaging, chefs are getting arrested for taking their knives to and from work whilst hidden in their bag. The judges are openly trying to push for forcing ALL knives sold, kitchen and otherwise, to have a rounded blunt tip so people can't be stabbed. 2012 where you would get arrested for knives longer than 3.5 inches and ANY form of gun or gun-looking object looks like freedom after seeing the state of the country in 2018. Shit, people are being arrested for mocking the police's propaganda photographs on twitter - again something which has happened multiple times.

I had four Pennsylvania state police when they pulled me over not be able to figure out how to check if my single shot break action pellet gun (you know the kind you just pull down to open) was loaded or not. I had to explain it to them.

In 3rd grade i brought pictures of me shooting M1 Garands and the deadly "assault rifle" and my teacher showed them to the whole class and thought it was no big deal. That should be all schools

"Not after our guns yet" Famous last words.

Usually the states with stricter gun laws have higher firearm related crime rates?

It's great to look back and hear Barry speak wisdom and see him and Eric in the early days of the channel.

Growing up, my dad was a Sergeant State Trooper for Texas. I remember playing Coos and Robbers in the 2nd grade and I was sent to the officer for making a “gun” with my fingers. This was in 2000. The principal told me my dad needed to explain the dangers of guns to me. So my pop came in his uniform, cowboy hat and all, and laughed in the principals face.

mario shirt and camo so fashion

Im 14, very firmiliar with guns and a conservative. They arent gonna brainwash me.

The NYS Safe Act is the most anti-constitutional law ever passed in this country..

Thank y'all so much for posting all of your videos. Such a good, real, "common person" channel. My kind of people.

My boss explained to me 2 days ago that a 2 handed grip on my pistol violated Federal laws. That was validated by the presentation above. The gun laws are just plain stupid and don't stop gun crimes.

"That's the administration we deal with [...] They have a loathing hatred for guns and gun owners [...] Because as long as you've got that gun in your have, they have to reason with you, they can't force you." That's some powerful stuff right there. That hit me hard.

Govts disarming people has never ended well.

I used to read Guns&Ammo in school, (2001-2005) though they brought in my parents to see if I was dangerous... but I was still aloud to read them. [Solo]

It’s amazing how far this channel has come

I can't even keep up with Britain's firearm laws. From what I've read you can't own anything bigger than a .22 when it comes to rifles and pistols and absolutely no centre-fire rounds but I've seen plenty of people with .308 rifles and Mosins. I guess it all comes down to money.

These old videos Always make me laugh 😅 , I'm glad I've been subbed for so long that I can see the difference

The one scary thing is that some blue collar guy is gonna buy a Mare's Leg and thing, "boy this will make an awesome truck and camping carbine", proceed to buy a full length wood stock and get sent to the pen because he wasn't aware of it being illegal. Just. Because. He. Wanted. A handy short carbine.

coming from Mexico, I was surprised when I moved to the UK I was asked to show ID when I tried to buy some spoons and forks at the supermarket. Two days later I got robbed in my house while I was in and the police took two hours to arrive, thats the UK apparently, stupid laws and lazy cops while crime runs rampant

Im 17 and have three going on four rifles next month. I love my guns and so do most of the kids at my school. Im up in Montana and hell most the teachers and the deans you can talk to about guns. Me and my dean we sat around all of lunch one day laughin and chatin about AR15 vs AK47. So not all of the schools are brain washing. (except the art teachers. They are major anti gun) but i do hate how most schools are major anti gun

I'm in NY (upstate) and I know someone with a carry permit. He had to get a lawyer just to get it since he had to prove why he needed it.

Love the channel wish there were more informative videos like this on other channel’s you guys are always spot on keep up the good work 👍🏾

“If the Economy was Booming they would be after your guns again tooth and nail!!” That man was a profit

Great opening monologue Barry.

Wow, watching this 7 years later, it's amazing how smart and ahead of the ball Barry was. "With the way the economy is right now, they won't touch your guns. If the economy was booming, they would be all over your guns trying to get them."

I have been watching you guys for a few weeks and you guys are right on with these gun gripes.berry was one of a kind, to bad he is gone may god rest his soul.and god bless you folks at moss pawn and gun

on the forward twin grip law, it does seem counter-intuitive; probably just so they can legally confiscate it from you if they wanted, without you even knowing that law existed

Biggest FUBAR of them all is, you need stupid license and a lots of money to get a full automatic gun.

Love your insights. Pure sense. Keep up the great work.

10 years later and this video is still relatable. also California do be more and more of an Isolated Island by this point

Texas has some ridiculous gun laws while we are a roughly gun friendly state however I do not agree with the need for a permit to carry when was the last time you seen a criminal get a permit? so why should law a bidding citizens have to have a permit to carry and protect them self?

Repeal the Hughes Amendment!

My kids go to a rural school which is in a very gun friendly area in Oklahoma. Three years ago they raffled off a 22 rifle at a school fund raiser. Last year my son was suspended for drawing a picture of a gun. That’s how much it’s changed

Funny thing is that even in Russia you can own Guns completly Legal. And you can also get a Carry Permit.

You wanna know what I think is dumb? That you have to be 21 to buy pistol ammo. What's the difference? What if I am 18 and buy a pistol carbine or a lever action carbine? I can't buy ammo for it.

You guys went off on the full auto firearms topic and I (21 year old gun owner) was thinking to myself "Is it really that big of a deal that I won't be able to own a machine gun? Really?" Then I thought about it and was like "Yeah, that would be pretty sweet to go and just lay down a whole box of 12 ga. out of a USAS 12 or some other full auto shotgun." So I agree, I think it would be a whole lot less of a problem. A decent interim solution might be to keep the tax stamp, but allow the sale of newly manufactured full auto firearms. Not perfect, but possibly attainable.

I wish I was catching these when they first dropped. Cause you guys are 100% spot on on all fronts. Its scary you can say with certainty that that many people would go trade their guns in for a pittance.

I live in Canada, I'm currently 19, I drew pictures of guns in middle school, and the teacher saw it. I got suspended for at least a week. Pretty dumb if you ask me.

I will not give up my weapons.... only my ammo (out the end of the bore of course!)

Barry was a good 'ol boy. I like to watch older videos to see him now and then. Miss you brother.

They always said “that’s correct” lol I love these old videos with Barry

This isn't a "law", but rather a really ridiculous rule that drives me insane: My local gun shop put a sign on the door proclaiming that all guns, unless concealed, must be unloaded and checked in with an employee at the door. I live in Pennsylvania. PA is an open carry state. This shop, which makes it's living on the 2nd Amendment and PA's gun laws, has decided to take the hypocritical route and infringe upon my open carry rights. Yes, I realize that they are a private business and reserve the right to institute such rules on their property, but it really is annoying and stupid. I frequently open carry my GP 100 or my 1911, but I have to take them out of my holster, and lock them in my car, disarming myself, to go in and buy ammo for them at the very store from which I purchased them? Lame. I started travelling out of town and ordering online instead. I don't support hypocrits, and I ended up finding a few shops with better stock and prices, too. I also have to add that the Rossi RanchHand is one of my favorite guns. I have the .44 Magnum version, and it is a blast at the range, at least once I prove to the range officer that it is, in fact classified as a handgun by the ATF. They try to kick me off the pistol ranges almost every time. Thank god for smartphones, or I'd have to carry printed evidence at all times.

This is funny. I say this because I live in a city is So. Cali. and although the gun laws suck, I personally know that there are more fully automatic weapons in one city block than what the police force can even fathom. Unfortunately here many people have accepted the fact that they are illegal and have made the choice to operate illegally. I honestly wish that there was a way to reverse the laws in this state. The last thing that I've heard was that originally the state imposed these laws because the State Constitution never guaranteed the right to bear arms, fortunately this was recently challenged on the basis of the 2nd Amendment, so from what I hear (don't quote me) a majority of the laws banning specific guns or gun types are now being reviewed in the courts concerning their constitutionality.

by far the most real and truthful video on RU-vid

True story. I live in/near Columbus, IN. Back around 2010, I was walking around town while on a day off and I was stopped by not one, but three police cars. Five officers in all. I had to show them how to clear my SIG P220. Let me repeat that: a SIG P220. One of the most simple to operate pistols in existence, and they did not know how to work it.

I think its stupid that you have to be 21 to own a short gun. I own 4 guns, and counting. but you're gonna tell me that Its ok for me to have a 30-06 bolt action, but not a damn pistol? looks like I've got 2 more years to wait...

Bloomberg will have to pry my guns out of my dead cold hands

My buddy had his personal laptop for school with a background picture of an AR. The teacher saw that and freaked out, he got sent into the office to wait for his father to come for a meeting. His dad had to get off work early just to go tell the school how crazy they were. California schooling really is something else.

I love these early videos. Little things like waving to people coming in and out of the shop.. the audio being less filtered.. it's cool to go back to these. Also.. goes without saying.. Barry!

fubar gun law ? here in holland a criminal can bay a gun in one minute for us sportshooters it takes a year too get a 22lr and 3 years to get a semi auto large caliber rifle

my first e in a gun shop began with the registration question because i moved from germany to hawaii and in germamy its very hard to get a licence so i was really shy and after the sales man said that there is no registration i felt kinda free

California and New York are like those two younger brothers who always snitch on you and get your parents to take away your toys (guns) lol.

I know I’m very late, but in the small town I live in, almost every family had at least 1 gun. In school the teachers would have conversations with us about how far we can shoot accurately, and how our weekend hunting trip went. But it’s because the town had less than 900 people in it and the closest city was 3+ hours away so we didn’t have to deal with all the crazy people.

Yes...you are converting your right into a privilege when you obey unconstitutional pretended legislation and comply with their preposterous demands. And the coercion used by employees of the Federal & State government to get you to comply is a Federal & State crime called treason, among others, for which they are personally liable. Stop consenting (and thus committing treason yourself because your consent to crimes committed by government employees makes it easier for them to coerce, violate, and enslave your fellow countrymen) and exercise you God given, Constitutionally enumerated, rights. "Waivers of Constitutional rights, not only must they be voluntary, they must be knowingly intelligent acts done with sufficient awareness of the relevant circumstance and likely consequences." Brady v. US, 397 US 742, 748 "Because of what appears to be a lawful command on the surface, many Citizens, because of their respect for what only appears to be a law, are cunningly coerced into waiving their rights, due to ignorance" US v. Minker, 350 US 179 "An unconstitutional act is not law; it confers no rights; it imposes no duties; affords no protection; it creates no office; it is in legal contemplation, as inoperative as though it had never been passed." Norton v. Shelby County, 118 US 425 p.442 "The Constitution of these United States is the supreme law of the land. Any law that is repugnant to the Constitution is null and void of law" Marbury v. Madison, 5 US 137 "The Constitution is a written instrument. As such, it's meaning does not alter. That which it meant when it was adopted, it means now." S. Carolina v. US, 199 US 37, 448 "We are bound to interpret the Constitution in the light of the law as it existed at the time it was adopted." Mattox v. US, 156 US 237, 243 "Where rights secured by the Constitution are involved, there can be no "rule making" or legislation which would abrogate them." Miranda v. Arizona, 348 US 426, 491; 86 S. Ct. 1603 "No state shall convert a liberty into a privilege, license it, and attach a fee to it." Murdock v. Penn., 319 US 105 "If the state converts a liberty into a privilege , the Citizen can engage in the right with impunity." Shuttlesworth v. Birmingham, 373 US 262 "The claim and exercise of a Constitutional right cannot be converted into a crime" Miller v. US, 230 F. 2d 486, 489 "There can be no sanction or penalty imposed upon one because of his exercise of Constitutional rights" Sherar v. Cullen, 481 F. 2d 946 "The claim and exercise of a Constitutional right cannot be converted into a crime"..."a denial of them would be a denial of due process of law." Simmons v. US , 390 US 377

A million times "like".

Barry you are never forgotten my brother.

This why I live in Pennsylvania.... I left New York long ago when I was young. New York's Sullivan Act of 1911 and New York's Safe Act which both laws did crap to curtail crime. Repeal the New York gun laws.

I think we should have a petition for everyone to convert their gun to full auto or saw it down illegally one day. What are they gonna do? Put 50% of the population in jail?

1st ammendment to protect and the 2nd ammendment to protect the rest of them.

I really liked the last comments about reason and force. Wrote several papers on the subject and used reason and force as key argument points and surprisingly got a really great response from classmates and professors that actually admitted that they started to think differently about fun ownership and carrying a firearm

okay I'm from the UK I'm not getting at anyone I'm just setting things right. we cannot own handguns at all unless your in the military, for rifles you need a licence which riquires you to be a full member of a gun club for at least three months and you will be interviewed by local law inforcement to make sure your not some sort of maniac. plus you need to have all the guns and ammo locked away in separate lockable safes bolted to the wall. once you have the licence it only last five years then the process starts again, same for shotguns you just need a different sort of licence so you cant own a rifle and a shotgun on the same licence. however you don't need a licence for an air rifle with a power below 12 foot pounds or a blank fire or a deactivated gun for example I own two ww2 rifles that have the fireing pin removed and the brench blocked but you can cock, strip and dry fire they look perfectly real to a normal person I could rob a bank no problem lol, but yet I have to be apart of an airsoft club to own a bb gun that's the real colour of the gun its trying to be if I'm not I have to buy one thats Orange and blue and looks like a kids toy! so that's my view on UK gun laws, love you guys keep the awesome vids up

The UK law has changed (actually quite a while ago) - you cant even keep a handgun at a rage any more with the exception of flintlock and matchlock pistols which i dont know all the details of the law for. The law for keeping rifles and shotguns is different - you can keep them at your home but in a gun safe - and the amunition is supposed to be kept separate from the weapon. A police firearms officer has to verify the safety and security of storage before you can keep the shotgun/rifle in your house. You cant even get a medium power air-rifle in the UK without a firearms licence. 12lbft is the maximum allowed. For air pistols its 6lbft.

You guys should do an updated version of this!

I am not from the UK, but I have a friend who is. All firearms in the house must be secured in a safe, and the ammo secured in another; they may not be stored together!

If putting a pistol grip on a gun makes it more deadly, then racing stripes make a prius go faster

Well the bilionares, millionaires and movie stars do not want the normal people to own guns or tanks. You see them with armed body guards with fully auto guns! Arnold Shwartsenegger a non us citizen owns a freaken tank! Really, go to his RU-vid page and then drive by his fortified property and you can see him driving it and shooting it. I would love to own a tank just to have a piece of history! I would polish it and almost live in it!

“Because a long as you have that gun your hands they have to reason with you”

I love all these vids. You guys are awesome. America! God bless

if you knew the laws and restrictions we have in Argentina you would cry, and i mean, you would break in tears, really..... They made it harder and harder and harder to legally own weapons that i finally gave up and sold everything i had, and let me tell you, i miss my guns!

i don't think so guys. New york City is the worst place to live for a gun owner. Take it from me. we are living in a police state over here!

As i get older, i am more and more thankful i was raised in NH. Live free or die

2:22 Californian commenting on this vid on March 31st 2019, a time i don't think anyone saw coming. I woke up yesterday morning and stood in line to purchase standard cap magazines, and even a glock extended magazine LEGALLY at a GUN STORE thanks to San Diego-based U.S. District Judge Roger Benitez

Does that phone not have a mute on the ringer? Or someone who can answer it in a timely manner?

While I really am not fond of the right wing (or the left for that matter), I do agree that gun regulations in some areas are ridiculous. I'm all in favor of reasonable gun regulations. I repeat, reasonable. I don't think guns should be taken away or damn near impossible to own in a practical manner, but nor do I think that just anyone should be able to walk in and buy a gun. There should be a requirement that you have to have taken safety courses, and maybe even some basic training depending on what kind of gun you're purchasing; fully automatic firearms for example. I love guns. I'm not into hunting, but I love skeet shooting and target shooting. And I'm not about to let some ass-wipe, who's never fired a gun in their life, to try and take that enjoyment away from me. If I am responsible with my weapons and go through the proper procedures of handling and purchasing a a firearm, nobody has the right to take them away from me.
