The whole gun thing is weird, in Germany it's super strict but down here in Salzburg, Austria gun laws are similar to the US. You don't need a license for a rifle or shotgun (just a three day waiting period and waffenvebot check) and you can get an assault rifle or Hand Gun on a simple license and psychological exam. 100,000 regular people also have concealed carry permits too. The Czech Republic is even Crazier with like one in 40 people carrying a hand gun every day (which is a higher proportion than the US) and 100,000s of Assault Weapons owned under basic hunting licenses. There just aren't mass shootings so it doesn't get any media.

Dave davids hi I would little bit argue about the Czech Republic part. As a Czech I saw a gun in civilian possession just once in entire life. We have very strict law where is defined what classes of guns you can have and for what purposes (self defense, sport, hunting, collecting, military or service use). You have to have the license with this class mentioned and gun has to be registered at police station. Normal people cannot have the military type guns. And if you talk about the self-defense type of license you can carry gun, but it has to be concealed, you cannot drink alcohol, you cannot go to big gatherings and many buildings are with restrictions. So this means big commitment and you have to have really the reason to carry it. Once I spoke about guns with one American who lives in CZ and he told me that he feels more secure without guns in CZ or Europe even though he owns several guns and carry it in USA. In my opinion, you should do something about in USA. I know it’s a very sensitive theme but these statistics about crimes with guns, the mass shootings when you compare the USA and the rest of the world are crazy. I understand that if you have areas with low population and big distances it’s really better to have something at home, but I don’t understand that there is not quantity regulation and also the type regulations. Why there is allowed to have or is too easy to get military or semi-military grade weapons, this I don’t get.

​@@alvynTC Well just because you don't see the weapons in public doesn't mean they are not out there. I think a lot of the fear in the US comes from the fact that you see guns everywhere. Everytime you go to Wallmart or you see them openly carried. As you noted you have to have a licence and the weapon has to be registered in Czechia but the process is not very complex (it's easier than here in Austria) there is a couple of tests at the range and that's it. It's shall issue so as long as you haven't got a criminal recorded and you pass the basic test (which you can retake) it has to be issued. It also lasts a lifetime. Compared to the US (where concealed carry is actually illegal in most states) Czech gun laws are pretty relaxed. For instance you can own a US style semi automatic AK47 type rifle with a large magazine with all licences (the EU is limiting magazine size soon though). I just checked and about 650,000 people in Czechia have a licence to own one of these. I think the Czech government is even trying to put this right in your constitution. In fact Czechia (and Austria/Switzerland) actually allow more types of gun to be owned by civilians than the US. For instance you can own a semi automatic, open bolt, weapon (such as a semi automatic Uzi or Thompson style) whereas in the US these are illegal unless grandfathered (they are classed as a machine gun).

Best way to deal with that fear is like most others. Actively learn about them. Best way to dispell fear is through knowlage. Get with a trusted friend who has em to learn a bit and maybe go to the range with them. I did this with several friends of mine who were afraid of them, and saw no reason to own them. But after a few days of me teaching them the basics and how to be safe and bringing them to the range to try shooting, none of them are afraid of them anymore. Several now have their own firearms and while some said they won't get one themselves they understand and respect why others do have them and dont wish to interfere in that.

On the gun issue - I get it. I grew up with no guns in the house and with parents who were afraid of having guns in the house. When I got married, my husband started talking about getting some guns, and it freaked me out. I did not feel safe at all with the idea of having guns in my home. Then I started learning a lot about guns. A military friend of mine who owns several guns started teaching me a lot. I refused to go to the shooting range even with an instructor until I felt like I knew how to load, unload, disassemble, reassemble, etc. I practiced with dummy rounds in my house for over a month before I would go to the shooting range with real ammo. My first trip, I had an instructor and I asked him to load for me, even though I had practiced several times. I asked him to check to make sure there was no round in the chamber when I was finished even though I knew how to check myself. What did I learn? My fear was so incredibly irrational. A healthy fear and respect for what firearms can do is fine, but my fears were just ridiculous and for no reason other than I just grew up that way. Now, I have fun going to the range. I feel much safer in my home as well. I will fully admit that I was in the mindset that people should not own guns, but you know what - the older I get, the more I realize how uneducated my stance was. Let's do some math. There are 393 million firearms owned in the United States. In 2017 (that's the last statistic I can find), there were 14,542 homicides involving guns. That means that 0.000037% of guns in America are involved in a homicide each year. That is FOUR zeroes after the decimal. Guns aren't the problem. Look at mass murders worldwide. The vast majority had no guns involved. When people want to be violent, they're going to find a way to do it. I hope all I ever need to use my gun for is social time and fun at the gun range, but if I ever need it in another situation, I have it.

My parents grew up in a war zone, and then lived under a military dictatorship. My father was required to serve in the military because of this, when he turned 18. They grew up with guns all around them. When they were offered jobs in America, they took the opportunity and made the most of it. Guns were not allowed in their house, they had already had enough guns and heavy weapons in their life. I asked for a hunting rifle, and they thought about it, but eventually refused. I was allowed to make my own decisions on that when I left their house as an adult, but to them and in today’s American culture, guns were too much about violence and power and not enough about hunting, and they weren’t comfortable with that. Fact, guns are more likely to injure the owner or someone in the owner’s household, than be used in crime. So, I don’t think their or others fear is irrational, but it put me in a position where I had to educate myself about handling firearms safely, and then the skills practice. I still think my parents perspective and guidance were valuable, and it informs the decisions and priorities I make when purchasing and owning guns.

@@petesjk that dictatorship would have never happened if everybody was as armed as people in the US are. I fully understand fear and resentment towards something you feel represents evil like that but for be guns are the big equalizer. Thanks to guns it’s harder to oppress minorities because numbers doesn’t count that much when you have a machine gun with a 200 round belt, it’s also very good for women or weak males because it doesn’t take strength to operate them, and finally they are just really fun and I’m oppressed with firearms technology specially when it comes to more historic weaponry. It’s true that statistically guns are more likely to injure yourself then someone else which is the case because most of gun deaths are suicides and a good percentage of them is comprised of people dying from accidents (+all the non deadly accidents) but I also know that something like that would never happen to me because I’m careful and every respecting of firearms and their potential for harm. It’s also very sad considering that accidents have gone up in the last decades which shows a lack of understanding for firearms (that’s why they should teach it in schools like back in the day). The second amendment was not created for Hunting so I’m 100% fine with gun culture not being about hunting, in fact I don’t want it to be about hunting because that’s an easy excuse to infringe on someone’s right by just saying "you don’t need more then 3 rounds in your magazine" which is obviously extremely stupid since most people don’t own guns for hunting but rather for self defense. It’s also a fact that areas with more guns have less crime and cities with lots of gun laws still have the most shootings which shows their ineffectiveness and crime rates have never been impacted by gun laws examples being GB, Australia the US and many other Europeans countries.

Living expenses in the US can be very high to much lower. You mentioned Cincinnati in another video. That's a large city move out into a smaller populace area and prices can go down if it is to small can go back up. Area's around the outskirts of say Houston Texas are a lot more affordable, plus you have the same if not more convenience than living directly in the city. The entire cost of living besides food is also a lot cheaper in different areas. To buy a house like the one I have here in California would cost me 4 to 6 times the amount more there. We also don't pay a state income tax here. Our sales tax is on par with other states. Guns there are two sides to the gun issue. One side is an emotionally charged side the other is fact base. Houston Texas is part of the southern gate way that deals with the influx of crime from Mexico. Crime here would be vastly worse if you took away the guns. That said even with that issue we have a lower crime per capita rate than a lot of other places. Here are a few simple facts you should realize when it comes to guns. Criminals prefer unarmed victims. Less chance of them being shot. Legal gun owners are generally the most law abiding individuals in the nation, they don't want their guns taken away for doing stupid shit.That's especially for those with permits. Police can't and won't be there 99.9% of the time to protect you when something happens they do reports after the fact. The only person who can protect you is you! Courts have even ruled police are not obligated to protect you. With all the places I lived I never once met a gun owner who was sorry to have his/her gun when something bad happened. I have met lots who wished in hind site they had one. Understand I lived in Germany back when it was easier to have guns. It's only the last few generations of Germans that became scared of guns its the false propaganda that is being spread.

You're also in Ohio which is a pretty conservative/Republican state. I visited their once and luckily Ohio and Texas had just signed their conceal hand gun reciprocity agreement which meant Ohio would honor my Texas license to carry and vice versa. The funny thing is that as you are in Ohio, you probably walk by or sit next to people that are carrying a gun and you never knew about it.

Which is another reason for fake friendliness. There are several stories from American YT who talked to somebody with quite irrational opionions. But they were so afraid that he could have a gun that they don't dared to speak against that. Around here (Austria) there are stories of someone going home(!) to get a weapon (mostly a rifle) and shoot someone with whom he got into an argument. But something like that is so rare that it will stay in the news for some time. You generally only have to expect a black eye in the worst situation.

I'm originally from the UK but family settled in a city just south of Los Angeles, CA called Gardena. We lived there for 30 years. My dad was the one who got me into guns but I ran with it as a passion whereas he mostly used it for clay shooting, pheasant hunting and target practice (pistol for target). Our neighborhood was pretty nice but as you can imagine, home invasions and burglaries tend to happen in nice areas. In the 30 years we lived in that house, the neighbor to our left was burglarized about 4 times. The neighbor to the right also about 4 times. Our house was never touched. We think it is because we tended to go shooting about once a month and we were frequently seen cleaning and oiling our guns in the garage which was facing the street and perhaps while the burglars were doing reconnaissance of the area, they saw this. Also, one day Gardena Police Department visited our house and spoke to my dad because he owned a nice Harley Davidson motorcyle. Apparently there was a group of criminals who basically focused on stealing all kinds of motorcycles and our house was on the list. It was an excel spreadsheet that had notes like "Dog?" "Stored where?" "People at home?" and one of the columns was "Armed?" and our house had "Yes". As long as you are taught about guns and how to safely handle them, no one will ever get hurt and, as stated above, they provide a powerful deterrence.

If your Neighbors were burglarized 8 times in total in only 30 years that's not a problem of having or not having guns. It means your police forces aren't doing their job. Which again can be caused by the reduced urge to act because of all the guns. In other words: You Americans chose to defend themselves at a higher risk rather than letting the police do the work. And now it can't really be reversed.

@@MD-mk3lh Maybe, maybe not. Can you say for certain what the police could have done differently? Even supposing a burglar alarm alerted the police and they decided to respond as soon as the alarm called, in many places it could take them long enough to reach your house that the thief would be gone before they arrived. Sure, they could take fingerprints at that point, but if the criminal wore gloves or didn't have fingerprints on file, what would the police do then? And if the burglaries were carried out by different people each time, even catching one of them wouldn't prevent the others. Maybe there were more precautions the neighbors could have taken, but I don't see how anyone can claim the police weren't doing their jobs just from the information given.

@@jj48 Yeah that probably was a rash claim. It's a lot more complicated than that. In a situation like yours a gun is most likely helpful. Yet I wouldn't say that just education and practice with guns prevents any harm that they may cause. It's not about the good people with guns, it's about the people that can't control themselves, about children and teens, about people on a rage, about the insane. Most of these wouldn't normally have access to a gun were they forbidden or under strict control (criminals on the other hand might get a gun nevertheless). What I wanted to say before is that many Americans don't seem to trust the nation /state to protect them, which I found irrational. However my comment was not the right way to express that.

Hello from Cincinnati! I just found you and subscribed to help out a neighbor. I’ve lived in this area pretty much all my life and I enjoy hearing an outsiders perspective. Keep making your videos, you are obviously a star in waiting. I can understand why you are hesitant of guns, because of the overhype in the media, but the truth is that the only guns that are hurting people are the guns wielded by bad people. And almost all of those guns used by bad people are illegally obtained. This is true in your home country as well as here. Although I personally do not own any firearms, I am actually comforted by the fact that I know, that the bad people know, that the good people have guns too.

Bit of history for you on American Gun Culture... as you might know, a pretty substantial portion of settlers that came to the US were actually Germans who were fleeing the strife after the 30 years war. Many of the Germans settled in Pennsylvania and bought a culture of shooting and gun-smithing with them. The hand- crafted rifles were called "Pennsylvania Rifles". As Germans settled in and started moving down the Appalachian trail and starting new settlements these "frontier men" now called them "Kentucky Rifles" , These weapons were extremely accurate and were used for hunting, home defense and as military weapons when men joined militias in the 1700s and early 1800s.

"Fair Weather Friends" or "FWF's" is what I use to describe friendships that just sort of pop up and then die out. They pop up and die out for different reasons, most die out amicably, peeps just going different ways in life. Other times they die out in a manner akin to someone lighting a barrel full of oil on fire. As someone who has trouble making friends with people (a lot of issues in my younger years has made me a cautious person when it comes to me trusting people), I see the difference between lasting friendships and FWF's all the time. Hell, I just had another one crop up about a month and a half ago. Somehow it died when I was in Vermont visiting family earlier this month. I don't talk a lot with my long lasting friends. We work different shifts and sleep different hours of the day. But when we do talk or get together, it's usually like picking up where we left off beforehand. We don't always see eye-to-eye, but we work it out and move along.

Her father was in Hitlers army, and when he was badly wounded he walked into a Canadian army base and told them to either fix him or kill him. He was so impressed with the Canadians he met that he decided to move his family here. As far as Oktoberfest goes, the best one I've been to was in Kitchener Ontario at Bingeman park. You'd love it there. My band played there, so I may be a bit biased.

" I'd give one of my kidneys - OR my appendix, at least - to speak German as well as you speak English!! 💯 And, as an American with German ancestry, I love hearing your perspective on BOTH countries. I LOVE America (and Germany,of course), BUT I also realize that America's FAR from perfect, so I'm always eager to hear ideas on how to improve the US. Especially with respect to : reducing violence; improving fitness and reducing obesity; creating BETTER wages for America's middle-class and having BETTER social benefits for hard-working Americans while cracking down on the MANY Americans who abuse America's social services. So, yeah, Feli, I appreciate what you have to say and DEFINITELY defend your right to say them!! So, just fire away; if you say something negative, I won't get upset. Lastly, I'd LIKE to see more of the Q&A format n the future.

Yes thank you for actually educating yourself. A gun doesn't kill you. It's the person pulling the trigger and yes like you said. They can take your guns but that's not going to stop bad people from getting their hands on them. They'll simply smuggle them up out of Mexico or down from Canada. Eventhough it looks like Canada is going to do the same thing. But they will be able to bring them up from Mexico. The other thing is. It's really not that hard to make your own gun. A small metal lathe would be nice but you don't even really have to have that and a 3D printer and you can manufacture pretty much any part you could possibly need. A dremel tool and call it a day and it will be plenty accurate enough to kill somebody. Again thank you for actually educating yourself.

I left Germany when my army time was up in 1978. I have not had a decent loaf of bread since then. It would be economically insane to fly over just for a schnitzel sandwich and some Christmas beer, but I'm tempted.

Hey, there's A LOT more that you can fly over for. Why limit yourself to the food?

We have a very large German heritage here. In fact, we are the largest minority. You'd like the polka fests as well as our Oktoberfests. They're not as big, but just as fun!

I'm involved with a local German-American cultural exchange. I think just about every German I've talked to has listed German bread as the top one or two things they miss most. I spent over a week in Germany and never went to a bakery; what a regret! (Too busy stuffing myself with pretzels, beer, sausage, and red cabbage.) I plan on going to Germany again soon though. What kind of bread do you most recommend?

What cultural exchange is this? And it doesn't matter really. Leavened bread is good but also just all kinds of bread rolls. Most bakeries also have amazing pastries and bread roll sandwiches (pretty much the German version of fast food).

@@FelifromGermany - Thanks for the info! The cultural exchange is the Germanic-American Institute in St. Paul, MN. It's a hub for the German expat population here, and also sponsors a full-time German immersion school for kids from kindergarten through 8th grade. They have language classes for adults; I went all the way up through B2! :) Here's the link to the Institute: www.gai-mn.org

Been to Cincinnati once when my wife and I went there 18-21 July 2018 for a wedding of one of her cousins. We stayed in a Hampton Inn near the University of Cincinnati, which neighborhood I thought is a little sketchy. My brother and sister in law took their eldest daughter for a tour of the campus. We went to the Findlay Market, dodging raindrops the whole weekend.

If you're ever in Denver Colorado in the last weekends of September, I hope you can check out Denver's Oktoberfest. Not as big as Cincinnati's, but still highly rated. If you ever make it out to Colorado, I would really like to hear what you think!
