We disagree on a lot, and there’s definitely some incorrect details here, but I just wanted to say I appreciate you not taking me out of context in our more serious discussion at the end. Hope you guys enjoyed your time here man
If poverty and mental health are such issues that induce gun crimes, do you think more funding should go to mental health care and poverty assistance/relief? And do you think you would still need such a militarised police if those issues are solved? Because then maybe it's time to redirect some funding from the police to other measures
Can you elaborate on the incorrect details? I thought the conversation you guys had showed a lot of contradictions on the "more guns" side, but I'm sure you have responses to what Alexa had to say in the video. Personally I want to know if you can explain why the gun nuts always seem to support the police crackdowns when it's left-wing activists rising up against the goverment. Surely even if you disagree with their politics you should support them and their right to resist if that's your main reason for advocating for gun ownership?
He is literally respecting and calling them good people in this video yet you actively ignore that and call them bad purely because they have different politics. Politics that you don't even argue with, its just not agreeing with them so you think hes bad.
Did they hand out robot guns to the public? It is very clear that you did not complete high school based on the sheer lack of critical thinking displayed in your short comment.
@@amil89 no the public made the armed robot dog dimwit. Seen it here on RU-vid. Also a manipulator will accuse you of what they are so no one can see they are the one. You didn't finish highskewl.
I absolutely hate when Europeans and Australians try and act like they sympathize with the children who were murdered. But in reality there using there blood for a political message there such cowards it’s disgusting.
@@CronchPG3D an article, a documentary or video etc, that deliberately tries to make somebody/something look bad by presenting information about them that appears to be true and accurate but actually is not
A lot of this video is speculation on gun regulations, but totally ignores his heavily permitted status. Most of what he showed in this video isn't even legal for general population even in texas. He's got the most heavily licensed status outside of the military
I’d say calling them despicable is a little heavy handed. All they did was discuss gun control in America and use Brandon as a very real analogy for how goofy we are as a country.
I get it from their perspective. They literally gave up all their power in there country 💀 so they gotta grand stand that they did the right thing because they have no other choice 💀💀💀. Couldn’t imagine putting THAT much faith into any government 😂
Just to think the entire time they are smiling and talking to Brandon they're actually seething and conspiring on how to make this look bad for him and great for them. Two faced at its best/worst. Sorry Brandon. We'll just have to pull the wooly bull over their eyes next time.
yeah Its obvious the side of the culture war boy boy is on. wokesick showering with men and crying and whining about guns people kill people guns are tools
Brandon is an FFL licensed manufacturer and dealer. He can own things that normal citizens cannot. Most of the guns he was showing off spare some of the surplus rifles you can’t get without going through legal fru fru or getting a certain type of FFL. Becoming an FFL is difficult and even more difficult to maintain. This is important context.
@@mijoges6288 🤷♀️ we dont have much to defend against with guns. Don't have as many dick measuring contests to compensate for down here compared to the US
Blue Lives Matter people would like to have a word with you. One of the "sides" you mention function purely on hate of the "others", and they see police as their attack dogs to enforce their hierarchy.
@@hfootball9634 sure and not every nazi was a bad person either but that isn't the point, the problem is the industry as a whole, our police are undertrained and if you really think thats up for debate well... I mean that's the end of the conversation lol
@@elijah821 You're just the kind of person that doesn't understand what they have to go through day in and day out why don't you go become a police officer and walk a mile in their shoes you know until then you don't understand nothing You're just a big You're just a big complainer that doesn't know what they're talking about That's the end of that conversation
Dang, if you guys weren't misrepresenting or outright lying about these guys in your hit piece and actually went out there in good faith then you might have learned something.
Not a hit piece as much as it is a general criticism of America’s politics surrounding gun laws using Brandon as an extended analogy. But hey I can’t tell you to not parrot Brandon Buckingham but y’know, still not really a hit piece.
@@Sneekyhippo8 Brandon Herrera was used as an analogue for americas ridiculous gun culture. That’s not a hit piece. If you wanna conflate the two then you’re more than welcome but you’re also wrong. So there’s that.
Well there's a reason for that, it's not really about the harm they may cause (because obviously they dont), it's more about the access to imitation firearms, things that look like guns, and their use in robberies and such, if gel blasters didn't look like guns there wouldn't really be an issue, given that I'm pretty sure you more likely to get hurt from a nerf rifle than a gel blaster
@@devoutmordexfollower5289 I mean I don't know about you but I'd rather be held up by a toy gun than a knife or something that can actually cause harm.
Wait what country can search your home without judge approval for 72 hours? Which country can directly access your computer to add or take/modify files? Whats that unarmed population gonna do? Nothing sit and take it. Have fun auzzies

A pregnant chick in TEXAS had her brains blown out INSIDE her house from OUTSIDE gunfire. HOW would she "protect herself"? Its IMPOSSIBLE to defend urself from a gun WITH A GUN. Brandon just reinforced the idea that Libs need to force CONservatives to prove what they say. If we did, they would ALL be dead in 1 week. The Cons that refuse could then be classified as terrorists and society would be SAVED LETS GO BRANDON! LETS DO IT BRANDON!
@@blakemagnus6633 Dude, sdivines argument is not hard to decompose yet you still managed to fuck it up so bad you sound more stupid. Like sayin we shouldnt swim becuase people drown...
While I oppose most gun control proposals, there is one group of Americans I do believe should be disarmed: federal agents (unless they & their superiors do my bidding ofc)
I don't know if he does specifically, but I always find it so strange that often the same people who hate federal police are the same ones who will support state and local police no matter what. Like who do you think it is that would be coming to take your guns?
@@trstmeimadctr There's a difference between the people just following their superior's orders, and the people who gave the order knowing full well it won't actually stop any gun violence. AKA the difference between city/state police and feds/the government
My concealed carry teacher is also a licensed gun dealer who runs his "business" out of his home. His real reason for getting it was to have guns shipped quickly to him without needing to stop at a gun store everytime he wanted to try/keep the gun. As a famous gun youtuber that would probably save a lot of time for reviewing guns and making videos.
Brandon Buckingham exaggerated like crazy in his video, saying stuff like there two faced snakes that are evil when they litterally just have apposing political views and thungs they disagree on, people these days cant disagree without exaggerated and calling names, its really childish and i think boy boy had a much more mature take rather then brandom buckingham litterally just name calling like a child
Keep in mind this is Brandon’s business. He holds an SOT and an FFL, two licenses that most Americans don’t have and are pretty much only for dealers/ manufacturers
Don't point that out! That takes away from their videos shock factor on America's backwards archaic society. EVERYONE has direct easy access to these firearms obviously. They don't even mention the cost prohibitive nature of having an operation as large as Brandon Herreras
@@wondernayra get stuffed. Your opinions are literally invalid as you're strawmanning the entirety of US socio economics. Brandon says it plain as day if they weren't using guns they'd find another way. You're cringe.
@@wondernayra Come back when you’re ready to argue in good faith. Australia has had numerous mass murders and mass shootings since Port Arther. Y'all gave up your right to keep and bear arms (and a legal document isn't what grants you this right) for the illusion of safety.
Not gonna lie, the title of the video plus the opening sentence being "So we're heading to Robb Elementary School in Uvalde" gave me the biggest fucking whiplash any RU-vid video could have possibly given me
How is this impossible, whether we want to agree or not, australians and americans are way closer in culture than we want to believe I see Australia like the giver book
This isn't a new collaboration. This is a year late, and posted on the lesser known channel for IDAT to try to paint their original video in a better light, yet still will not admit that they manipulated words, took things completely out of context and painted Brandon in a light that is not accurate. This video is a cop out.
As an American the fact that guns themselves aren't the main issue is the most common defense of gun rights here. One thing that I wish had come up in the interview is that America consistently ranks lower than other countries in terms of mental health and happiness. One statistic that shocked me when I learned is that more than half of all gun deaths in America are suicides.
It isn't *the* main issue, but one of them. Preferably, you'd not just take care of one thing but deal with both the guns and the state of the society. But let's not even pretend these people even care for socioeconomic issues to actually be addressed either, it's just an excuse.
And consider that it’s difficult or impossible for many of them to personally own those weapons. They are often borrowed or stolen guns. Same with gun related crime, most aren’t legally owned and the majority are pistols.
Ignoring the particularly TOOL used.... How many sexual assaults and stabbing and batterings do you see in Australia? Then compare your population numbers to the U.S., then factor in our diversity. If we do the math I think we might be surprised by how we actually compare. In context.
@@kadanseward3022you’re technically right about that figure but you’re either misinformed or being intentionally deceptive about the wording. It’s not 1 mass shooting of civilians per day, it’s one shooting that involves 4 or more people every day and a bulk of that is from criminals with illegal weapons in states with the most aggressive gun control laws in the country. In context that figure doesn’t really paint the picture you’re looking for.
I know this video is a year old but didn't Australia just have a mass stabbing? and in 2018 had another mass shooting that they failed to mention in the video. weird.
@@JT-ry5eiI think it was meant as a bad people do bad things and will find the tool to do it regardless. Also the person that was stabbing people was stopped by a gun.
Brother it’s so rare for us it’s a national tragedy School shootings for you don’t even make state news Notice how you had to go years back to find a comparable shooting? They’re not common here and you’ll notice it’s always the people with access to more powerful firearms (e.g. farmers and other professions that need them for their work) It’s more complicated than BoyBoy put forward, but it’s not the same issue chief - Farmers and professions like that need access; so we have controls to mitigate the risks of tragic shootings
The homicide rate in Australia is 0.8 per 100 000 inhabitants. In USA it's 6.4 per 100 000 inhabitants. Singular events such as that mass stabbing are just singular events. In America it's a regular thing. It happens weekly when in Australia or other low-homicide countries they happen rarely and are treated as massive national tragedies and the governments try to make sure they don't happen again. The USA government doesn't do anything to prevent further shootings.
I would love a video about the Yugoslav wars, if you felt up to it. It's a tremendously complex series of conflicts and one that I think very few Westerners understand to any meaningful degree, including myself.
@@Kamberli un aliving someone during a war isn’t a war crime it’s just war and life. Idk if you notice but all the little animals outside are constantly starving and looking for food while trying avoid getting themselves ripped apart and eating that’s the real world. Also idk if you notice but the world isn’t doing to good and when shit hits the fan your gonna have to fend for yourself.
@@Kamberli also I noticed on my personal life ppl that try to be all great and moral and righteous are funny Al you gotta do is find one little thing they don’t like or agree with and just like that all those morals and everything go right out the window. So much hypocrisy idc that’s why I think the way I do
@@Kamberliare we just supposed to forget that these things happened? The only way to avoid these things happening in the future is to remember that they happened in ways like collecting objects from the conflict and explaining there history. And as for humor, either nothing is ok to joke about or everything is and I would prefer the later
Being surprised that Brandon has that many guns in his house is like being surprised Willy Wonka has that much candy at his too. It's their job. They make that stuff.
Like a lot of people stated already, Brandon can own all of these because he's a manufacturer and a licensed company, giving access to more documents authorising this. Not everyone can own these.
@@RunehearthCL Brandon has the licenses required to own assault rifles, The average person does not. ARs are cheap varmint rifles there not really human slaying machines
I'm an American legal gun owner (not FFL) and my guns have never killed an animal let alone a person. Guns don't kill people, people kill people with guns. My view on law enforcement is there are good ones and bad ones. Some do a good job and have good intentions and some well they don't. I don't believe in qualified immunity for them as they should be held accountable for there actions. Which seems tp be happening a bit more lately and it seems to have them on edge. Cops are necessary to law and order but they also do bad things with the power given to them. They are essentially a gang that enforces there own interpretation of the laws. We need them but I don't care much for them....
It’s also important to realize that America is NOT gated communities. There are lots of poverty stricken areas, filled with people who need to protect themselves.
@@Boy_Boy I thought it was a great video though. It really helps to get to understand what the thoughts of people are from around the world, other than just being thought to be monsters for what we own or think is important. Glad this was some wholesome content. I do now however, have a different view on firearms that are from wartime, and see how owning these weapons could be seen as very odd or even vulgar to the people groups that experienced those hardships. So thank you for the new perspective
America is also undergoing what is known as "The Great Replacement" the extermination of Whites via mass migration. MIllions of violent third world migrants are pouring into our communities raping, butchering as a true scourge.
@@Boy_Boy you'll find that Texas is a very wealthy state per capita. Come to Montana. You'll find lots of poverty, millions of guns, and extremely low crime.
@@revolverguy to be fair that's because Montana is the 4th biggest state and has a population of 1.104 million. For reference, the smallest state, Rhode Island has a population of 1.096 million. It's just all so spread out nobody gets on anybody's nerves.
You left out multiple key details. For one, he is a gun dealer, so of course he is going to have a ton of guns. And two, he has a special license to get those guns, which is not easy to get, might I add.
Did he not also say he frequently abuses loopholes to get guns? You think he is actually dealing guns as a business? And the "its not easy to get this license argument" is irrelevant because he has literally no reason to have most of these guns, and still has them. He says himself he has a lot of these guns for fun, he has so many his house is full, what reason could ANYONE have to own that many guns? Probably just abused another loophole of being a "gun dealer" to get a house full of guns.
@bishop8852 point A, if getting guns legally is using a loophole, then yeah, he abuses the shit out of those. Point B, yeah, he does have a lot of guns because they appreciate in value, like gold or silver. Point 3, why does he have so many guns? Well I'll tell ya, you nosey bastard, it's because again they appreciate in value and he can sell them later for a profit. They're also fun to pop off under safe conditions, of course.
@@doodlebob5548 I agree with you on that front, but it's not really saying anything for the side of guns. We can collect anything yes, I agree, but with deadly weapons it's different in the sense that anyone can follow these same legal principles, say they collect guns, and one day have a psychotic episode and go on a murder spree. Sure this guy seems alright, but if he were to develop schizophrenia and go insane, he would have access to all of these deadly weapons. It's the access that is the problem here, anyone can be fine on pen and paper but you can never confidently say they will not kill someone with it. Collecting deadly weapons is not the same as gold or silver from what I believe
Him discussing how he felt seeing the Yugoslav Ak and how it make him feel weird really shows how guns can 100% be seen as more than just a weapon depending on what someone has seen them do.
This point was a weird one that stood out to me. Personally, if I was ever in such a situation, given that I haven't been, so I can't say for absolute certainty, but I have a pretty strong inclination that I'd be infinitely more weary of the human aspect of it. Say, the group of people who were attacking me or terrorizing my people, be it a group of particular ideologues or the government, opposed to an inanimate piece of wood and metal. I just don't really understand that reasoning personally...
What's also interesting is comparing it to say collecting items from the Second World War or the Great War. All were atrocious conflicts but time clearly plays a part.
@@m4enthuziast239you don't see how the tool used to kill many of his neighbors and family members could be triggering some bad memories and feelings. He probably gets the same feeling when he see pictures of the group who did those horrendous things. But the reason you don't see it that way is because you are a gun nut who hasn't had to deal with genocide
@@m4enthuziast239 If I use a hatchet to slaughter a bunch of your friends and relatives, would you think someone owning that hatchet and thinking it was cool because it had been used to commit such an atrocity would be cool?
@@m4enthuziast239if your family was killed during the holocaust and some guy is collecting nazi uniforms you are gonna look at the uniforms differently then other ppl lol
Might be a stretch, you guys are close to being extremist leftists. It's crazy how little effort goes into facts and how much effort goes into emotional control
If he owned a Kolibri is would absolutely be the owner of a mini-gun but everything else is a no. Gatling gun maybe but not the one I know youre thinking of from the video.
Lots of falsehoods in this video, eh admin? Like calling his manufacturing warehouse his home... He might sleep their more often than not, but it isn't "some dude's house"
@@DH-xw6jp is there anything actually wrong with the video except very specific nitpicks about what Brandon specifically owns or where he lives? No Brandon doesn't own a (live) missile, he doesn't own a minigun, maybe he doesn't actually sleep in his warehouse, he specifically needs to be an SOT manufacturer to own some of his guns, etc.... So what? The video really didn't strike me as documentary about Brandon's life or possessions so the inaccuracy is hardly inexcusable. The point of the video isn't what specific guns Brandon owns and they're not highlighting him owning a sawed off as an issue, because the issue they're talking about is the lack of gun regulation in general. It makes no functional difference to what they're talking about that if you walk into an auction you can't walk out with a rifle that has a barrel shorter than 16 inches or a sawed off shotgun, because for them the problem is that you can walk into an auction and buy a rifle or a shotgun in the first place.
@@cockatoofan "it's about the lack of regulation in general" While acting like heavily regulated things, _things that are ALREADY illegal for normal people,_ are easy to get off the shelf of any sporting goods store. I would say that is a big problem and very disingenuous. They compared a firearm manufacturer to "just some dude" for pete's sake. And in opening sequence they brush aside Rossenbaum, Huber, and Grosskreutz as just a couple of "protesters" and fail to mention all three were violent felons actively trting to kill a minor. One of which was trying to do so with an _illegally possesed_ handgun! I would say that is an important fact to mention. The idea that they want guns banned to save lives, that's all well and good. If they were willing to mention that firearms are defensively used _far more often_ than they are used to commit crimes. I would have no problem with their opinions, if they were based on actual facts and not fanciful strawmen.
@@DH-xw6jp I don't think they were acting like Brandon's specific guns were easy to get he's called both a gun not and a collector for a reason. His role in the video wasn't to be the representation of your average American gun owner with their miniguns and Yugoslavian mass killing AKs, but about the mentality and psyche of gun enthusiasts like him.
True also the only type of Full auto machine guns that are easy to get are guns made before 1935 and it's only like that because their considered antiques, and even some states still put some regulations on full auto guns made before 1935
Honestly a better video than i did a thing's. Still missing some key details that make Brandon's gun collection different (like his FFL SOT license and that his job is actually weapons manufacture) but overall much better and much more honest.
The number of guns surrendered, in total, by the entire country of Australia in their gun ban is less than the number of guns sold in America in one month, for every single month in the past 10 years
Interestingly there is still a significant amount of guns in Australia still, most of the purpose of the buyback program was the change the attitude of gun ownership from a right to a responsibility. There are still millions of registered guns in Australia, pretty much every farmer has a rifle or five. You can even get a license to collect guns, or for sport/recreation, etc. The key was the change in mindset, but I don't see any way that mindset change could happen in the USA.
@@known1443 Mostly because it would be the government telling you who can and can not own said guns. Which is spiting in the face of the documents that founded their country.
If a drunk driver ran into group of people killing 35 of them, would you support or oppose national car ban? Gun bans are ridiculous in a way they don't aim at solving the cause, but to mitigate the effect. However the ban punishes equally the small minority of bad people aswell as vast majority of not guilty good people. School shootings as BH said are exclusive to USA because they are caused by socio-economic problems combined with gun proliferation. The combination of gangs, violence, lack of psychiatry clinics, poverty, teen pregnancy, divorce rate, the cost of higher education, high incarceration rate etc. But of course those issues are hard to solve, because the government would have to admit its failure in those areas. Some people believe that only the government should have guns, yet after googling Holodomor, Wolyn, Auschwitz I don't feel so certain. If you also look at the riots in US in 2020, and war in the Ukraine (where government GAVE AWAY 18000 FULL AUTO AK47's to people on the street of Kiev - suddenly no background checks, exams or medical tests were needed).
@,-- Yeah, the US is split by classism. The gun enthusiasts that have private shooting ranges and these mass collections are living in a class that is essentially untouchable. The upper class and upper middle class. They've never really been oppressed by the justice system or legislation meant to undermine their democratic voice (red lining mortgages or jerrymandering or the bail system and so on). If you've got the money... nothing is really off limits here. These things have destroyed minorities in the US and left them living in what is essentially inescapable poverty. The people defending their guns fear oppression, because realistically removing their guns would be the first limitation of power they've ever had to endure. They may not be able to acknowledge it, but they fear becoming like the poverty stricken minorities of this country (this includes poor whites/white trash, but they're in a special in between worth it's own tangent). They fear giving even an inch will be the step off a steep cliff to falling into the way lower class Americans are treated and live. Why the hell would someone living comfortable in their gated community surrounded by their expensive recreational equipment ever willfully say "You know what? I want less. I want to live in a smaller house, pay more in taxes, and have less freedom to do what I please just so those other people can have a bit more?" They tell themselves all kind of excuses to justify why the "other Americans" have less. They say they're not Christian enough, they're drug addicts (drugs are another tangent), they're lazy, they come from broken homes, they're this, they're that... All to justify to themselves why they're entitled to what they have and others aren't. And do not get me wrong, most upper class people work hard. They genuinely do... but their hard work pays better in so many ways. The guy who works 80 hr weeks at $50 /hr is going to get a lot further than the one working 80 hrs at $9 /hr. And the $50/hr guy is going to have access to resources to assist him in avoiding taxes and establishing accounts that are basically not taxed to create passive income in addition to his 80 hr work week at $50/hr. Meanwhile, the $9/hr guy loses most of his check to taxes, he has little to no financial support (he can't even afford the financial advisor of the other guy), and it'll take him a lifetime to create an investment account large enough to create a passive income. And that's completely overlooking that if $9/hr guy and $50/hr guy are of equal intelligence and both capable of working each other's job, $9/hr guy will most likely never get the opportunity to do $50/hr guys job AND $9/hr guy's work is probably incredibly abusive on his body. He'll have medical complications well before the other, and that will cost him even more of the meager progress he's tried so hard to make. And of course, these hypothetical men do not exist in a vacuum. Upper class families support and prioritize money literacy, while lower class/poverty are often less able to manage their money because they're struggling from one catastrophe to the next. Paying to have their car fixed, scraping together money for a funeral... hell a speeding ticket can ruin $9/hr guy while it's just an annoyance for $50/hr guy. The point is, they are afraid of being oppressed and we are asking them to be oppressed for the greater good of everyone. Which is socialist, which if you understand where they're coming from does seem rather evil since it's demanding to take from them what they've earned (regardless of the advantages they had to do so). In the end it's a stale mate. And in the meantime people will die because our culture isn't ready to change.
Wild how AUS has basically switched to "we can't let our political enemies leak out information that looks bad" when that aussie journalist's home "mysteriously" caught fire
What do you even mean "mysteriously"? It was firebombed. Not much of a mystery there as we know how the fire started. Saying it "mysteriously caught fire" is just a big undersell, pretty much every single headline or video about the event had the words "controversial journalist/youtuber firebombed" as the catchline. How is it a mystery?
@@TheSovietBear97 That certain journalists has made so much enemies throughout his career that you could make a DOOM game out of it, so yeah it is mysterious simply because of how much enemies you have to filter through.
Just so you know, you cannot really say "Aus" as a whole since it is entirely brought about by the corrupt liberal government in new South Wales alone. (Australian liberal is American Republican), labour is now in power so I'm certain we will see a push towards an internal anti corruption league.
To be fair, Brandon Herrera has gone through decades of work to get where he is. He’s got a type 7 or higher FFL (federal firearms license) and a class II SOT (special occupation taxpayer, meaning he pays an extra $500 a year to do what he does). The average citizen CANNOT get all those licenses and permits.
@@jack.attack That’s not the argument though is it? At least where I’m coming from - I’m saying the average citizen CAN become one. It isn’t that difficult. Just time, money and a clean record🤷🏼♂️
Yeah. I mean private gun owners can have as many guns as they want to buy, but a lot of his unique and more dangerous weapons are allowed to him because of his manufacturing license. It's like being shocked a museum curator has a lot of fancy unique artifacts and art pieces at their home. They have the knowledge, access, and resources to acquire far more than the average enthusiast. And in the US gun manufacturing is good money so it just feeds into the loop.
@@TheDarkElk That's the problem with someone with a biased point of view manages content from concept to release... it entirely fit's their ideals and only shows what fits that.
@@jaydensmith174 3d printed and micro manufactured guns; surprised they didn't mention at all; as no part of firearms control in any country is going to help when that is fully out of the bag. They are already used for crimes with varying success but wont be long until the criminals and crazies are going to be armed using them and not have rules like "semi auto" and "30 round mag" and then people willing to put in the effort to be skilled protectors will need some options. They didn't mention many instances of mass murder wannabee's being shutdown by a concealed carry / armed citizen that don't get reported past a few local articles; Donut Operator does a good job of getting them to light. Of note is that schools and lots of other places are gun free zones; so teachers/parents that want to be protectors can't be and the criminals know this for max effect; causing all recent mass shooting only that are flagged as gun free and seen as soft targets (and the criminals tend to say so in their suicide notes of which places they skipped)
how shocking, brandon buckingham fan who most certainly didn’t watch the video all the way through leaving an opinion that doesn’t matter, who could’ve guessed.
@@KaelynSmith-bc9ww Hey look, a boy boy fan who only watches boy boy and does not watch anything else, I cant wait to hear his one-sided opinion. I mean its almost golden how the one clip they use of Donut Operator is a clip of him calling out the police when they try to paint him in the opposite light. Almost like shitty full-corpo big-time News outlet journalism; the very people they make fun of, brilliant!
@@dnfluffles772 i used to watch brandon hererra, donut, demo ranch, eli doubletap, all of them. i was a young conservative teen for a while. now i watch a broad spectrum of engineering, political, and news content, not just conservative talking heads and guntubers.
Taking people egreogiously out of context and twisting details for shock factor while knowing little to nothing about American firearms laws is awesome! As well as taking advantage of a friendly person who extended a helping hand so that you could make some money (off of his content)! Amazing fictional piece at the end of that day. Please stay in Australia!
his office is in a house on his property. so its his house... not his home, but his house. and his private gun collection he displayed is diconnected from his job. its private. so this is not his job, but his hobby of colleting...
@@Cassiusisback it's a house he owns and uses as an office, thus it is his office. And even though he owns a firearms manufacturing company, it's only one of at least 3 jobs he has. RU-vid is also his job. He has sponsors on nearly all of his videos, he makes good money from it. And his third job title is politician.
@@justarandomtechpriest1578 Garand thumb is new to me, thanks for the response seems like a pretty wickied channel. honestly brandon is still going to be first to me but that's simply because he makes me think of my uncle. Also by gun jesus you mean forgotten weapons or?
Interesting how all the negative comments are less than 2 weeks old, almost like they periodically return to this video to censor their own community. Very Australian of them.
All the new comments are negative idk why you mean. I even found two Nazis (as in their name on RU-vid made specific references to Nazis) who were very upset
no, its just because Brandon Buckingham visited Brandon Herrera in a video Buckingham posted a video roughly 2 weeks ago, which he opened by mentioning how disingenuous the Boy Boy video / visit was.
We've had mass shootings since, but none as severe before or after. All of the research and statistics suggests that the only change that the gun grab here in Australia has had is in regards to gun suicides. Not the suicide rate, mind you, but suicides committed with firearms.
As an American, i think what most surprised me here was that 12% of our houses are in gated communities. Thats insane. I guess that must be out west because I dont even know where i could find a gated community within 100 miles of me. But, like you said, the government is set up as a playground for rich people
There are plenty of gated communities in the eastern US as well (particularly around the Capitol), but they make places like that hard to find, if you didn't know there was a gated community there, you'd might even drive by thinking it was just another patch of woods.
One thing that makes the United States pretty unique is the use of the federal system. The federal government is viewed by people as almost a completely different entity than state and local governments. Generally state governments clash politically with the federal government if the controlling political parties differ.
@@stuffit14321 Sure but they aren't given the same power. Here it is almost like the EU, where each state is it's own country, but with a heavier handed federal govt. Everybody has power and they all throw it around as much as possible
now this might be a stretch but just maybe the reason australia has less homicides than the us is because the us is over 10x more populated. just a thought hope this helps!
@@chaarii6473 percentages and statistics are all wrong and fake. Take statistics, you'll realize that numbers have no real meaning and are all just ideas hanging in a void. People like you see it and make a real life remark or idea that has no real meaning or bias The news and social media will use statistics blindly to forage there own narrative. No America and or Australia don't have high murder rates not even close. Even doing all that math and looking at is VERY objectively (the best thing anyone can do) You'll realize that America and Australia are doing completely fine under these circumstances. It's people like you (sorry) who blindly believe statistics and percentages and make VERY blind claims. Also this is why statistics aren't used in courts anymore, because courts have infact try to arrest a black guy who was dating a white girl in a yellow car (because it was statistically unlikely) Also that fact that 70% of eye witnesses lie and miss leads courts? How do you even use statistics to help people? When it's just one floating subjective number
Yeah that is the one thing in this video I agree with and only on face value. Even the reasoning and how they phrase why its contradictory is extremely misleading
This is a extremely ignorant statement to make, Just because you support limited government doesn't mean you don't support law enforcement. Most law enforcement is going to be from your local Town or County, where you have more say over what policies are voted in and how its budgeted. Furthermore the Gadsden flag is more geared towards a distrust to a federal government not local or state which 95% of law enforcement is under. And most people that fly the Gadsden flag do have that distrust to federal agency's that don't really represent the thin blue line like the 660,000 State and county cops that risk their life everyday do.
I would argue that the threat of such easy and detached violence as guns enable makes it much less easy to freely express yourself and be able to control your life
@@kekmitkeks9328and I would argue that you should grow a spine and take responsibility for your own life and property instead of relying on a morally bankrupt government to do it for you.
They sure did slander him.. So much that there are no comments even mentioning him aside from people defending him. I'm sure the poor guy can never recover from having an intelligent conversation where his opinion was not edited in any way and he was given more than enough of a chance to speak his mind, the dudes comment is literally pinned saying he appreciates not being taken out of context. Why are you mad on someone elses behalf?
I have to respect the openness to talk and deliberate with people you don't agree with. We are all hurt by tragedy and when the easy route is to point fingers at one another, everyone just hurts more and that really gets us no closer to solving anything. I really do think videos like these where there is that level of understanding help with the current climate when it comes to complicated issues like gun crime. Thank you for contributing to that.
100% - Seeing different sides to things in today's world seems to almost never happen. Even if someone is completely wrong (not saying that is or isn't the case here), it's still important to hear what everyone says in order to identify reason and work towards a solution.
Got to be honest, gun violence isn't a complex issue. It's a solved problem. Australia and basically every other developed nation have solved it for decades. We're the crazy outlier. And in this case, we absolutely don't need to be listening to both sides of the issue. Listening to guys like Brandon got us into and keeps us in this tragic state. Gun rights advocates are just fucking wrong, and when you're trying to make responsible decisions about how to run a society, you don't listen to the people who are demonstrably wrong. The idea that both sides of an argument are valid or have worth is a fallacy. Sometimes one side is "let's make sure it's really easy for anyone to get their hands on a magic murder wand," and the other side is "let's have our kids not get murdered at school." One of those sides is wrong, and if you land half way between those two choices, you still wind up with murdered children. This isn't a difficult issue to know what to do about, it is just hard to actually do what we need to in this country because of people like Brandon. Other countries figured it out for us. We just need to copy Australia.
I don't think this helped me at all. Brandon didn't make any good points, besides the fact that "the cat is out of the cage". It's the same tired, old NRA propaganda being repeated ad nauseum. Blaming fatherless children is a well known dog whistle. Saying the countrybwas founded on weapons is easily debunked by most historians. It also doesn't help that the right wing is the side pushing for looser gun regulations while simultaneously underfunding education, healthcare and every other social program. If anything I have even less respect for gun lovers after this.
@@werbnaright5012 You're absolutely right and unfortunately, the people on that side simply don't care so there isn't any realness in conversation. It actually only serves to pretend there is any room for negotiation and reasoning when really there is never an inch given, never a point taken.
@@rhettshanley8712 and he has stated multiple times he has no idea about guns. still can have an opinion on the politics of gun control and gun ownership and not have an idea about what the name of a gun is. Im sure there are many people in the U S that own a gun and dont know the name of it, and im 100% sure they have an opinion on that matter. Opinions on gun control and gun ownership cannot be left in the hands of people that know about guns... that doesnt create an equal debate.
I just wish they'd told Brandon about the storylines they were trying to tell with the videos instead of totally blindsiding him with the antigun side of the story after recording his parts. He would have been open to the discussion without them basically lying to him. These 2 videos definitely made me lose some respect for them
that is not how this went down, they took total advantage of Brandon and the like, i think the only reason why this dude didnt upload his video when i did thing uploaded his was because of Brandons response video explaining how he was takin advantage of. look brandons video from 7 months ago with them putting the gun on the robot dog. they acted like they really really wanted to shoot guns and do a robot gun dog meme, and then turned it around on there channels and started grandstanding on the graves of the uvlade kids. fucking disgusting, lost all respect for i did a thing after that. like idk why i even got recommended this video i had no clue this guy existed and all that happened 7 months ago.
19:08 that’s the reason why the US will never be without guns. Here in Switzerland we got a way smaller scale debate on knives. I m in my 20s and it just is a cultural thing to have your knife in your pocket. Hell one of my teachers even said that a Swiss always has a knife in his pocket. Now it’s a major scandal when a 16 year old has a knife? I ve been running around with one since I was 3. A knife is a tool to use in the forest. Cut some stuff for the barbe, cut your fingernails, ect. Knives are part of Swiss culture just like guns are for the US. Removing that over night will be impossible.
Honestly very well explained. There’s so many reason just removing guns from the public would either take forever, not be helpful at all, or not be able to be reinforced.
Brandon has proven several times that if the people have the knowledge and some tools like a hobby mechanic has at home they can build guns themselves out of some pipes and springs. A direct blow back sub machine gun is not that hard to make assuming you have can make a common ammunition type work. Example Brandon’s looty vid. The reason why we don’t really see that stuff is cause there’s no demand for it and those who built it probably want to fly under the radar.
It isn't mentioned at all in the video but Brandon also owns manufacturing and weapons licenses that are very hard and expensive to get in order to own most of the guns and things in the video.
It's also implied that most of his wealth, including the ability to own all that stock, comes from him marketing guns. Of course he is going to argue in favor of his own income, always.
@@graealex he has a youtube channel not all of his income is coming from gun sales, and if you watch his channel he says that he would not be able to do what he does without peoples charity. So his word has more weight then most gun salesmen.
@@thebaconatord7982 More weight than other people also making money off guns? Nah, not really. Brandon is living a sweet life with his RU-vid money, inside a gated community, and you guys simp for him. That's worse than sending money to Trump while he flies over your head in his private jet.
@@MumwaW likely incessant propaganda from the aussie government pushing that independence minded behavior is a sign of a nazi conspiracy theorist. Im not saying boy boy necessarily believes that outright, I bet if he had a few months with Brandon so the novelty wears off a bit he'd probably change his perspective surprisingly quick.
@@MumwaW the point is others suffer while they get to live independently, these people campaign for weapons so they can earn money or play with their toys and the deaths of kids that they will never meet is worth that for them
@@ktp01 no, we want to own guns so we can protect ourselves and our families. Sure, having a big gun collection like brandon is purely for fun, but we value firearms because they are tools for defense. And yes, even AR15s and similar rifles as they work much better than a pistol for home defense or other general legal uses for a firearm. We want to own guns to protect our own kids, not to "play" with them at the expense of someone else's.
@@alextuller6222 that is possible but here in America every time someone asks a convicted criminal what the largest detirent in home invasions and other types of Robbery is firearm ownership
Lol I am from Latin America, currently living here, and I remember only one school shooting in my lifetime (in my country). Sure, there are countries with a lot of gun violence but luckily it's pretty rare that children die because of it.
you want a gun because your country is dangerous because so many people have guns. Thats how i see it. Over here in germany nobody is really scared of either the police or any random guy just shooting you so nobody feels unsafe without a gun.
There ARE some of us who are into firearms and individual/human rights but do NOT sit on the side of police. However, police are largely conservative. And many americans, conservatives AND liberals alike will side with somebody of their political beliefs before defending a political opponent's rights against that political ally. I guarantee this isnt unique to america. Disney is an absolutely horrible company with a track record supporting eugenics and nazism. But when conservatives attack them for supporting gay rights at surface level only... fir the goal of making money... liberals often entirely forget Disney's history because now its time to dunk on conservatives. Its easy to see it when your political opponent is selectively ignoring their stated beliefs. But almost EVERYBODY here does it.
Yeah, this is a fair point and we totally agree, so much of it comes down to political allegiance. Have you seen our "Disney made us gay" video? It follows what you're saying in criticizing liberals who side with Disney over it's superficial pink washing.
@@Boy_Boy I havent seen it, but Ill watch it. For the record, Im a gun rights absolutist. Im also a left anarchist (more communist than american libertarian) who volunteered for YPG. And I'm queer. And that makes almost everybody hate me. Not everybody falls into the rigid camps of republican and democrat. And many of us follow the logic of our ideals consistently. And it makes conservatives AND liberals hate us. And while one side says they hate government tyranny... and the other says they hate guns... neither will hesitate to use armed police officers to put us out of their misery.
@@marcush4741 That's a great, principled stance! We were hoping this video wouldn't be read as a clear-cut push for gun control, but moreso to show that this type of gun-influencer is not anti-government, and their community is just larping while fully backing violent state power. Their main defence of gun-ownership is tokenistic and their actual allegiances are the opposite. I'm glad there are some politically literate gun-owners out there!
@@Boy_Boy so you made this point by hanging out with those people and larping yourself only to snide them later? I agree with the comment but how you went about it with this video is WAYYYY off. You have to be trolling, there's no way you're this petty.
@@Boy_Boy You’ll probably never see this but I figure I might as well put it here. It’s not that they hate the government in general, it’s that they hate the federal government. That’s it. They view local and state governments as significantly more personal and less corrupt, resulting in a trust in the local police (who are essentially members of the community) over, say, a three letter agency. On a separate note, I know you mentioned this in the video and people have been telling you a lot, but your experience during your trip isn’t even close to an average view of the US. It’s a very specific part of of rural Texas (basically the most unique and conservative state in the union).
Not exactly. The Gadsden flag refers mostly to big government and any actions they may take to infringe on the peoples' rights. Law enforcement are still the people, and in fact most police do not support infringing in the constitution. Additionally, the police do not have the authority to make any laws that do such a thing (federal law enforcement included). The flag can also be directed towards anyone who may think that they victimize the flag bearer. It's a warning that if you tread on me, things aren't gonna go your way.
Police is the government’s tool to defend the capital of the rich, never forget this. If you think the police is the people, just remember any strikes or manifestations where the police showed up shooting rubber and tossing gas grenades.
Really interesting to see the perspective of a person who has left a place of war, and now sees weapons of that war placed on shelves like some kind of collectable
Guns are a collectible indeed, but outside of just the fact that they’re neat they often serve as a remind of the wars they were used in, they are a piece of history.
@@afatcatfromsweden Indeed. I appreciate the work Brandon does on explaining that history. I know they say in this video that they saw a disconnect but when I watch his content he very much makes a point of delving into it. As for the crude humour, I think that is just how some people deal with tragedy. It's easier to cope with something terrible when you can laugh at it. Because it's near impossible to reconcile with the evil that some people have perpetrated against others, often innocent lives.
What's more evil; using those weapons unjustly against people who can't defend themselves/don't deserve at all to be shot at...............or, putting them up on a wall and occasionally shooting paper with them? The evil people who once held those rifles are the thing you should be concerned about, not the good people who now own them.
they compared homicide per capita statistics, which means they’re already weighted by population. sorry, but left wingers aren’t intellectually lazy enough or think their fans are dumb enough to let them get away with making a comparison like that, as opposed to supposedly respected establishments like pragerU, which are constantly doing that kind of number manipulation.
I really enjoyed watching this, but there were two main factors you failed to mention, Brendan is actually a federally licensed arms dealer aswell as a manufacturer, and he actually doesn’t own that big land mass that belongs to a veteran owned company BRCC. Other than that this was a great watch and really enjoyed seeing both sides having a good time
seriously? I really had no idea that he was a Federally Licensed arms dealer and manufacturer, and I watch alot of his stuff (his Desert Eagle video being one of his best)
@@DrQuagmire1 in order to own a fully auto weapon in the United States you need to be a federally licensed arms dealer and to be able to make weapons that are fully auto you need a manufacturer license
One small thing to note about whatever they call "Yugo" weapons is that it's not necessarily something used in the wars, Yugoslavia just produced a lot of weapons even before the war, Zastava was probably one of the largest AK producers in the world after a bunch of Soviet ones. They're exciting for collectors because they have some peculiarities to them and that makes them different, not necessarily because they were used during the war, even if a large share of them were.
Unless they were brought of Yugoslavia before the war then I would bet any money they were used. They talk about the notches that were made in them and war crimes “that’s rad” Alexa lived thru that to this day the amount of people walk around absolutely fucking traumatized from that war is insane. It was tone deaf and stupid.
@trapdoorguppi that comment was definitely stupid, but a great deal of what Zastava arms produced was exported, and especially since importing new machine guns has been banned in the US since 1986 with imported semi automatics following in 1989, the year yugoslavia began breaking up 3 years before the bosnian war. So I think most yugo rifles in the US would have been older pre war imports.
@@trapdoorguppi My people were genocided by the portugese but if I was to see portugese weaponry, I wouldnt pretend to be mad over it. Dude are you really gonna look at WW2 games and movies, and talk about how tone deaf they are to WW2 veterans? You had WW2 veterans litterally help make those games and movies. Keep it history. Dont try to mix history with the present.
@@honkhonk8009My people were genocide by the US and Turkey respectively, It would leave a pretty bad taste in my mouth to mingle with someone who collected weapons used to indiscriminately massacre my ancestors. Its one thing to collect them for the sake of education and historical preservation (like museums do) and to collect them because you're a meathead who think gun cool
Yeah. I mean I think we all know each other's perspective but the issue kids are dying either way while they talk, while we all talk, while the statistics pile up, and while we listen to same talks for the last 50 years or so. Sadly the same people who say it is other things other than guns that is the issue stop us from fixing the other issues either.
@@nicholasbiazevich868 does he feel used? They didn't talk down to him or try to fight or dehumanize him. The just had a discussion and voices their opinions and concerns.
