How Bad Are UK Gun Laws? 

You need license for air rifles right? I lived in Ballymena for 3 years. That was the only reason I moved back to England.

@@arnoldtm31 Yes unfortunately even co2 airguns must be licensed but the upside is if you get a firearms certificate you can get anything from an air pistol to a shotgun ,full bore rifle or handgun.

Exactly it's ridiculous. A firearm is a tool, an inanimate object. I'm sure you could go to the local hardware store and buy a chainsaw or circular saw without any registration or license right?

differant tack, but there were over 100 cases of rabies in uk, after, they introduced quarantine. None in france

I think I might move to N.I from N.E England. Northern Ireland will be a staging area for the English folk to retake their land. The last bastion of Britain.

Good chance that tap and die sets won't ever become illegal.

Update, the D is backing the American suppressor association and may possibly loosen up on importation of firearms. I'm still not holding my breath...

Stupid to even joke about it as if we will let it happen....

The irony is in the UK if you have the correct firearm license you can buy a rifle suppressor over the counter. No need for a background check if you produce the correct firearm licence. The same with a large capacity magazine. Only if you produce the correct firearm licence.

When one considers that in 1900 anyone in UK could own a firearm, carry it around without registering it but due to fear of Marxist/Communist thugs fermenting violent revolution post WW1 the first gun laws were introduced in 1919.

Agreed allow ordinary citizens to own guns and protect their property with the lethal force if needed. See if that changes criminal behaviour. Bet you it does. In the areas of the USA where property owners can be armed and protect themselves from criminals have much lower rates of violent crime. Criminals are not stupid. They'll go to areas with few or no guns and attack defenceless and undefended property. This is not difficult to understand.

@@StopTakingDamnHandles I am sure that anyone that has conceal carry at the right time can definitely save life. However, with increase population, and people going through tough times, the right to carry can also backfire. Knife attack are defendable if you learn self defense course, and perp can usually be subdue with a group with people with other tools. Not so much if someone carry a gun and keep their distance. I find this to be a very culture orientated thing, if you do a quick search on gun related deaths population of 100000, US has one of the highest death per guns own per 100. Not saying that lots of people own gun is a bad thing, but it also depend on how responsible are the population towards owning firearms. The whole pandemic can tell you that why some countries did really well, despite having high population per area, and some countries didnt to so well with similar population density. At end of the day, you can have strong gun laws, but not to the point of chocking law abiding gun owners to death. Also, firearm safety, trigger discipline, principle, etiquette, should be instill at young age, not just because it's part of our amdendant. Lots of famous RU-vidrs like Hickok45, Paul Harrell, and Ian Macallan are great example what responsible firearm owners should be, and I have no problem with them using with any sort of firearms.

@@alemedinaa you’re pathetic

Lukáš Pospíšil Baltic countries are quite lax too. So is Finland except for select fire, you can go and buy a .50BMG no problem if you find one for sale and register it, but not in the Netherlands because you can't shoot one anywhere so there is no legit use for it which you do have to have. However you can buy a semi auto .223 for rifle sports shooting and have as big of a magazine on it you can find.

Lukas, we respect you in Poland for that, and what your government now does, to avoid Lex Bienkowska. We did a great job along with FU to stop it, and when it not worked, to make it less painfull possible.

noth606 in NLD the gun laws are the worst. Hunters can own more than 5 rifles for as long as they live and even newer shoot one round, but sport shooters have to get 18 shooting stamps each year, otherways they must have to sell there weapons (max 5 weapons). First year shooting training, 2 year you can only get a .22lr if you have proof of 18 shooting stamps in your book. 3 rd year you can get a 9mm or rifle cal. it is only getting worse by the day here. thanks to Brussel and our scaired goverment. If u have served the army and got back to the normal world andvwould like to shoot the first year 9mm and 308 , garands u are fucked. you cant soldier. start with the .22lr. I have seen many 50 cal marines who where pissed that they canot get a normal caliber to own , even do they have shot in the army everything that has powder in it. People would think twice if they would get into a fight with usa. most people there have at least 2 wheelbarrows full of weapons to protect themselfs.

African Twin yeah gunlaws are the worst in the netherlands but most people have them without licenses though. very nice situation -_-'

Lukáš Pospíšil Czech Republic is the shit. Make excellent guns, too. Fuck the EU and fuck Merkel.

They don't have to, going to France is cheaper than going to other parts of the UK where the guns are legal (pistols and semis). The Isle Of Man for instance costs a fortune to visit especially when the TT is on

Lord Baldur a ridiculous policy to say the least.

We also haven't had a mass shooting in a long time, pretty good trade off.

inTHEwrongGENERATION PS After returning to Long Beach I spent three years stationed there . During that time I saw first hand the aftermath . Entire minimalls and shopping centers had been burnt , smashed , and looted . Where once had been shops and businesses where people of all colors and races had worked and made a living , only scorched and boarded up ruins stood . The only people who seemed to have stood up for themselves were the Korean store owners . Many of them stationed their men on the roofs of their stores , armed with AR type rifles , watching news television , sitting under patio umbrellas with ice chests of food and drink , while the women ran the stores during the chaos . The rioters avoided them . The LA rioters are the parents of today's BLM rioters , gone nationwide . The rioters learned the lessons that mass violence works , and that the police can't defend the people under their jurisdiction . The LAPD later admitted that that they cannot ensure the safety of the individual citizen , they can only ensure the safety of society in general . The lessons that we should learn from this are that the individual citizen is responsible for his or her own protection , that the right of the individual citizen to be armed shall not be infringed , and that the government has no interest in the well being of any one person . Best Wishes ! from the U.S.A.

Well said. The images of the Koreans on the rooftops and around their stores are truly iconic and an example of why the right to bear arms is a fundamental foundation of liberty and property. The police as you said can't protect everyone at all times and in situations of the breakdown of law and order the police are even more helpless and each individual should be able to be protected and able to defend life, liberty, and property. Best wishes man.

The problem with your example of Korean shopkeepers is that it only really works for mom and pop size shops. Chain stores don't have people with a personal interest - only governments can police large public space - and they don't have the money (hello taxman) to do it properly.

I can only imagine what your aunt would say about my grandparents buying me my first 22 rifle for my sixth birthday. Guns are tools

Places like that exist here in America as well. College campuses and the wealthy big cities are like that as well. San Diego los Angeles and NYC to name a few. And my parents are anti gun themselves tho not to the same degree as your family. They let me shoot in their backyard. But when I told them I was going to be carrying every day under our new constitutional carry law I could tell right away they were uncomfortable with that. It's my life and my money and I can spend it however I like. I try not to bring it up in front of them because I don't want to start a fight. But sometimes it can't be avoided and there have been several occasions where my mom is either afraid of me or talks in a condescending manner about it. It's very difficult to restrain myself when it comes from someone so close to you. Not only in anger but also just from their ignorance regarding firearms. It's probably the most misunderstood hobby in America.

TheSpritz0 what so u need to defend yourself from???? fists? u can use your own fist to do that u know.

Evan Chong If someone was coming at me, period, I'd rather have a pistol on me. Fair fights are for suckers Also, if I were killed, I would rather be shot unseen in the head, than beaten to death with a baseball bat or stabbed 10 times

Evan Chong lol a bad guy will always git a gun and stoping civilians from owning them will not stop them because if a bad guy whants to do harm he will

Self defense of any kind using a "weapon" is not permitted in Canada. Canadians do have very STUPID gun laws but we are able to purchase handguns, semi-autos as well as shotguns following your approval of PAL or RPAL . Obviously our gun laws are most likely going to get worse but look on the bright side.....Eastern Canada voted for legal marijuana to get rid of nasty guns and balanced budgets. Thank you Canada East. Brilliant politics out there.

Common sense and logic right is lost on the neck beards here.

I thought that lol.

It really wouldn't matter if the Laws existed or not as to the number of Mass Shootings. Richard points it this out exceptionally well, in that every single Gun Regulation in the UK was a *direct* response to a specific outrage event… highly reactionary and isn't ever legislated in a way that really stops the ownership of Firearms completely (the exception being LASER or Magnetic Rail Firearms) but instead a regulation that for all intended purposes would make ownership in the case of said events to have been illegal if they were to occur again. Yet then look at how many actual Firearm Acts have been passed. 14 in 350 Years. Then bare in mind what Arms still completely unregulated... for example Bows, Crossbows, Throwing Daggers (as long as it's < 6" it doesn't break the Blade Laws in the 90s), etc. and there are have been very few *actual* notable incidents involving said Arms. There is a key difference that has to be kept in mind and that's Culture. If you notice the Regions where there is exceptional Gun Crime, regardless of Laws; it's occurring primarily due to a lack of Respect for Weaponry and Heightened Violence in said Regions anyway. Would I want the Gun Laws to be relaxed today? Honestly, despite how I firmly believe that we British are more than mature and respective enough of them to not abuse such a freedom; we have to be brutally honest here that Demographics are changing. You have those who believe in Far Left Socialism, who are starting to Violently Protest (and on a disturbingly regular basis) then on the other end of the Spectrum you have Fundamentalist Muslims, who are also doing the same thing. Look at the UK as a whole and Violent Crime has continued to decline; while we look at Cities that are Metropolitan in Nature; and we're seeing Dramatic increases of 100 - 400% rises in Violent Crimes with Bladed Weapons. Should said people be freely able to acquire Firearms, we'd almost certainly see a dramatic rise in those Crimes as well or even potential creation of Warzones; between Foreign Political Ideology against British Cultural Values. These groups are not Mature... they have no Respect or sense of Self-Responsibility for their Actions. Again, we already have seen smaller but notable rises in said regions for Gun Crimes despite the illegality. If that were to be reverted, this would be deeply problematic seeing a sharp rise in such Crime; which would in turn force the Police to also Militarise (or expansion to the Royal Forces more often in Internal Security Matters) in essence an Arms Race. For the moment, I think there is Solace to be taken from how (from the outside) Convoluted our Firearms Regulations are to where most will merely assume "Guns are Banned" because if groups intent on said stockpile and usage of such things were aware of what they could legally acquire then it could be potentially catastrophic. < • > It's a frustrating situation where, Politicians approaches are being proven the best option; only because they themselves have created the very environment where they would be True... like a Self Fulfilling Prophecy.

+Leyvin When the second mass shooting in a short number of years happened in the UK I was currently shooting pistols at a local gun range and was ready to start the process of getting a firearm licence myself. My mother freaked out over the shooting and at the time I told her that the firearm used was just "a means to an end" a few years later a person went on a rampage in a primary school with bladed weapons, thus sadly proving my point. Now I do not regret the passing of stricter firearm laws in the UK, yes there are still shootings mainly due to drug dealers, gangs and organised crime and we will never stop that, but to allow an increased number of firearm ownership without the potential owner face exacting standards would be a mistake.

There are still a lot of mass hit and runs going down though, perhaps there should be background checks for motor vehicle licenses and car engines cannot be above a certain cc and have to be stored in a safe locked garage (fuel stored separately) previously inspected by police and drivers must have no previous history of psychological issues. If maniacs wish to commit mass murder they will find a method, should GCSE level chemistry be abolished in schools for example in case somebody learns about oxidation and then discovers the secret of gunpowder?

I know. It just blows my mind.

That's because it's not necessary if you look at the statistics police brutality is non-existent and people killed by guns are extremely small compared to us and it's very expensive to get guns even illegally from a black-market so you guys are safe.

As I say I'm not apposed but I don't fully think restricting us that much is a good thing at all

William Stanway any restrictions are bad they are the gateway to more...

Gun related deaths in the UK are very very low, gun control works at least for the UK, I understand why Americans want the right to have guns but let's face facts gun related deaths in the USA are incredibly high and occur on an hourly basis.

Owning a gun should be a simple but regulated process. Background check on a case by case basis, medical history check case by case, licence given or not, if licence is given to purchase a gun you simply walk into a shop give store employee licence number they can check it on a gun licencing/ownership computer system (very simple) if its all good then he/she attaches the gun serial number to that licence (online) and done u walk out with ur new gun. This simple system would A) keep firearms out of the hands of violent crims, B) allow law abiding citizens to easily acquire firearms, suppressors should they want one, C) Keep track of who owns what in case of break ins, theft, or licence revocation due to violent behaviour. Licence does not need to be renewed at all and includes carry permissions. It would allow easy sale of firearms from one licence holder to another with a simple web interface for transfer. Allowing anyone to walk into a store and buy a firearm no questions asked is dumb as fuck, it just is, any denying it is equally dumb, but there is nothing wrong with letting law abiding citizens own, collect and shoot firearms. In this case compromise is necessary to ensure maximum safety but the process should be made as quick and easy as possible for those law abiding citizens who wish to acquire firearms. Rules and regulation is not inherently bad, you need a licence to drive a car and no one complains about that. It is the abuse of power by politicians that is the real enemy.

Haha

Thank mad king George

Hm. New Jersey has airgun registration as well. Crazy

Yeah well your half of the U.K. is responsible for ruining our rights to own handguns.

Scotland should’ve voted independence in 2014. They ruined handgun ownership for the rest of the uk.

Very knowledgeable. There is only a limit on rifle ammunition, shotgun cartridges with the exception of slugs, has no limit and does not need to be stored in a cabinet. I have 750 cartridges under my bed,

I'm autistic however, very careful with anything dangerous, and 2 of my friends can say that even though I weird, I'm not insane and don't have the intention on hurting anyone. (unless I'm forced to) So would I be allowed to own a gun because of my mental illness?

GreyKid I don’t see why autism would preclude the grant of an FAC.

some autistic people can be classed as mentally unstable, some would freak out over holding a gun, some would not be trusted, etc.

well you cant really carry shotgun with you at all times.

I'm an Australian. Have lots of firearms including a .338 lapua. Basically limited to bolt guns with a 10 round capacity, and a few weird caveats... not allowed a pump action shotgun but a lever action is legal, as is a pump centrefire. Pistols are more restricted than longarms but still very easy to obtain if you do a training course and are member of a club. You need a reason to own a firearm, hunting, farming, target shooting etc. Self Defence is not a valid reason to get a firearms permit. Living in Australia I have no problems with the gun laws here and don't feel they need to be changed. I feel like most of my friends at the range would feel the same way. Its interesting that most of the criticism I see of the Australian gun laws come from overseas.

@@hambamable I live locally and know many firearms owners who would love their semi autos back, as well as the WLS to not take 9 months to approve a license

@@hambamable Result: I am 10.6 times less likely to die from gun violence than in the USA. Our general duties police officers don't wear body armor and our schools don't require metal detectors. Although you can own most classes of firearms if you do the training and meet the licensing requirements. More guns in Australia now than in 1996.Poor us? BTW We conduct elections that are respected also!

PUNISHERMARKO Dutch laws are pretty much the same

PUNISHERMARKO French laws are same...

But you're allowed to train on open private grounds, don't you? Many countries don't allow that either

If anyone brakes into my house ill beat the shit out of them with a bat :-)

like here in Brazil, we have a really weird gun control law

I have always taken that view, including a while when I lived in the USA. I find it strange that some Americans take the view that when British people say that they like the laws we have in Britain, that shows that they have been brainwashed. It's bollocks. British people like the fact that we live in a gun-free society because that's how they want to live; not because they have been brainwashed.

@@v8pilot 100% agree there

@Zachary Peterson To stab someone, the attacker has to come within fighting distance of whoever they're attacking not to mention you can run away from a knife... so no... not '"zero ability to defend yourself "

@Zachary Peterson Every day more then 100 Americans are shot to death. More than two per day are shot by US police. Fewer than one (on average) Brit is stabbed to death per day.

@@v8pilot haha, that's bullshit and you know it, stop being a little bitch. Can't really compare a country with a population of 60 million people, to one with over 350 million, and a massive landmass. You cannot. There is at least 1 stabbing per day in my area.

What about black powder Flint-lock

@@donaldhatch6439 you can own without a licence but you need a licence for the blackpowder. If your over 18 you could just buy some fireworks though.

cokedaz they need to become more lax on firearms laws In the UK are police force is pretty good at stopping the wrong people getting firearms and I 100 percent agree on background checks sercue storage and having to have a reason to own a firearm however I don't agree on the centre fire semi auto band I have been vetted to own a rifle so why is ok for me to own a old battle rifle that stopped Nazi Germany so pretty affective at what it was desgin for however I can't own a semi auto ar15 it doesn't make sense to me as long as you have been checked and proven not to be a danger you should be able to own what you want

Exactly. And it's not just good for us. Think of the savings the police could get from loosening some of the moronic requirements and stipulations of the certificates. It would mean much less work and saved money. My force is under severe cuts. (Lost a lot of enquiry officers in the last year due to it). Less staff = longer waits. Which is what has happened in the recent years. This can also be attributed to the ATF in the US. I imagine it is a similar situation. Often not purposely holding anyone back, just not enough staff to get it all done in a timely manner anymore. Hence why the need for loosening the law to allow the police to focus more on the public safety side instead of micromanaging what you own.

cokedaz it 6 months to get my FAC the police seem to be under a lot of pressure in that department however I don't blame the police for that it's down to government kick backs the police need to relocate the money in more important areas I guess than FAC application the government seem to think putting cuts in the police and army is a good thing lol this are two areas that shouldn't be cut and the NHS

cokedaz Expanding ammo is no longer restricted, you can buy it with a standard FAC now. There are only 7 p'pistol only' calibres which you can't buy expanding ammo for. The law changed a fortnight ago :)

Thank you I was happy to do this video to help others it was there idea as I was visiting them at the time of the NRA show it was done in one take and they did not want the video far too long for the trolls. I tried to cover what I thought where the main points to make and get across to good people. Thank you for watching.

O4KAST but aren't you allowed to carry for self defence now?

Rights And Liberty Nope. Though, you can transport guns and 1000 rounds in your car freely. But carrying one on your person in public is a no-no (except transportation, again).

Rights And Liberty There are a lot of semi-legal workarounds, as you can see.

O4KAST if you shoot some one in self defense do you pay that persons medical bill ?

Aaaaand you get locked up as well, in most cases

Plus we have very few lobbying parties or pro-gun politicians so stopping changes is very hard, let alone reversing any laws. On top of that, pretty much all of our media is biased and strongly anti-gun and I believe our population is being (has been) brainwashed to believe guns are dangerous.

Thomas Gosling and we’ve had barely any mass shootings since dunblaine, in 1997, and america, with ‘good gun laws’ had one last Wednesday.....

Gun laws are great in the UK, do not worry that in the USA trump and others take NRA blood money so nothing will happen.

Thomas Gosling The tories tend to be pro Gun and pro shooting sports, David Cameron former leader of the Conservative party is pro Gun, his biggest hobbies are Dear stalking and pigeon shooting, most conservatives like me tend to be pro shooting. The tories are very libertarian when it comes to guns and shooting sports. All other parties are extremely Hostile towards guns, the conservatives are the only party that's pro shooting sports.

Chris Vaughan Cumbria in 2010 was a mass shooting, done with a shotgun & rifle. Not had one since 2010, either & guess what, they are still legal.

Sunny? You're having a laugh.

Yes sir my brother! 👍🏻

we really don't. Look at every country that has gun laws they have low rates of gun crime.

But that still leaves plenty of guns and calibers to have fun with, so... Don't really something to complain about.

***** Couldn't live without my 20mm.

Leon Visagie "bigger than 50. bmg"? what about the .557, .600, .700 nitro express? 4 bore?

sorry but no nothing only up to 50 bmg

Leon Visagie I must be confused, but I've watched countless hunts within south africa where the PH, more times than not, carries a rifle chambered in a caliber larger than half an inch.

Is it instead of though? In the USA in 2020, there were 1739 knife homicides. In England and Wales the same year there were 235. If you account for the population difference between the two countries - you will find that the US actually has a higher rate of knife homicides per capita.......and this is on top of their massively higher gun homicide rate.

@museack I'm curious, what makes you think Trump gives a single f*ck about the Constitution? Did he hug it once, because I missed that

It's even more terrifying in 2021. I really hate how terrifying it is today.

Rather be judged by twelve than carried by six

Y’all some little female dogs, if someone tries to take your guns, take an example off of our forefathers. The Brit fks tried to take our guns, they got clapped by the gat. F the atf

kristokirov Best comment ever. You are right on the bullseye, my fellow Patriot.

On the money!

Proud ToBe Do you understand the common militia and the Minutemen's role in preserving freedom?

Proud ToBe Are you still referring the militia to the National Guard?

Proud ToBe It is not difficult. Let me see if I can explain. The American people have a right to form a militia from their own communities to defend their unalienable rights, if and when needed, to stay free. Having the National Guard or Army Reserve (in which I am currently enlisted) controlled by the state, for the well-being​ of the state, is great.

Well England and Wales is. Here Northern Ireland is mostly rural though privately owned and North end of Scotland there is miles upon miles of open land without a house in sight especially in the highlands.

Be glad you don't have to. Like me.

How are the gun laws in Austria? How is that situation?
