@@spankosaurus I don’t understand your reasoning for allowing firearms, it’s elitism tbh, my hobby requires me to own firearms and as a tax paying, law abiding citizen l, I think it’s my privilege to do so

​@@dominicjohnson8427 fuck your hobby, guns are for killing people they should be heavily and absolutely regulated. It shouldn't be your privilege to own weapons when people will use that same privilege to ruin lives and blow children to smithereens. Guns create fear and hostility and are an absolutely negative force

Honestly the ownership of firearms with much less restriction should be allowed. I'm not saying we have public carry rules like the US or anything like that merely the ability to own a firearm without having to find elaborate legal justifications. My justification should be able to simply be 'I belong to a range and want to shoot for fun' OR 'I have enough private land to shoot for fun safely and I want to'(with proof obviously). The strict gun control is not stopping criminals from getting their hands on guns. In my local area there has been multiple shootings (urban not rural for context) so these restrictions really only seem to hurt honest hobbyists rather than the actual criminals. Granted the quality of weaponry in criminal hands is usually quite low (a common method is to buy a gun classified as antique and make your own rounds which is easily accessible to do so with) but still good enough to be problematic. Not to mention our, let's be frank here, tyrannical and corrupt government only installed gun restrictions as a way of stopping public forcing of issues (there was a fiasco with soldiers after ww2 who wanted the political promises of social health and housing to actually happen). So yeah they actually serve the people and I agree with the basic logic of the USA on gun ownership (if they go a bit far)

Your not wrong they do got bang.

@Bob Saunders The natural rights are not privileges. They proceed from God, not from a state. The state is not God. The misnamed "legal rights", such as the right to vote in political elections, are mere privileges. The privileges are alienable. The genuine rights, the natural rights, are inalienable. The Dunblane massacre was perpetrated by a pederast. But, then again, sexual inversion, statism, and Europeism, were sacrosanct among John Major's anti-Thatcher Tories. Had Thatcher been Prime Minister then, collective hysteria wouldn't have eliminated the right to self-defence in the UK. If the UK's residents were armed, the police wouldn't be beating people who refuse house arrest and wearing muzzles due to the UK's most recent collective hysteria. In Northern Ireland, pistols and permits to carry them are obtainable. In London, two Islamists decapitated a soldier in the middle of a busy street, in broad daylight, right by his barracks. That'll never happen in Northern Ireland. In Northern Ireland, the men have testicular fortitude and weapons. As for America, it's a loony bin with Third World demographics. Czechia doesn't have criminality American style. It has the world's most libertarian cultural attitudes towards weapons. Roughly two thirds of firearm permits are permits to carry pistols. In America, the murders are perpetrated essentially in cities where firearms are unobtainable. New York City, Washington, DC, Chicago etc., have no gun shops and no shooting clubs. What they do have is Negroid ghettos with heroin-dealing gangs. Continental Europe is awash with Britons. They're refugees from their nanny state. Every day, many leased jets land in Prague carrying Britons who come to Czechia on shooting tours. Here, they go to shooting clubs where they enjoy what in their country is forbidden. They can, for example, shoot belt-fed FN machine guns. And they may carry switchblade knives while they're in the country.

@Bob Saunders its only america we didnt have americas homicide rate before hand

@@hubertusvenator5838 Can't remember God mentioning pistol ownership in the Bible. Not being abele to own handguns doesn't make someone defenseless or have a right to self defense. It could also be argued that living in a society where it's very rare anyone in public would have access to one given human's nature to go mad is a form of self defense in itself

@@BigAlCapwn Criminals don't obey laws. Also, I don't believe that there were pistols two millennia ago. In the UK, it's illegal to carry an object for self-defence. If you think that you can defend yourself from an armed aggression while unarmed, good luck! How would you defend yourself from policemen who aggress unmasked people, or who aggress people who publicly engage in politically incorrect speech? See Luke 22:36-38. Pistols are concealable. They may be carried discretely. They're tools for killing aggressors. There's human garbage born every second. There'll always be the need to kill. See Psalm 101:8. Your argument is puerile. If you reside in a country where government has a monopoly on the public use of lethal force, you're residing in a totalitarian state. Freedom is an individual right.

Pistols are still legal in the UK depending on what your need is.

@@TechboyUK fair point

​@@spankosauruscriminals dont use legal channels 2 buy firearms in the uk. Only ppl with illegal firearms in uk are gangs and drug dealers. Gangs will use especially if its involved in the drug trade but then u have individuals who sell drugs but have firearms for self defence which obviously is illegal too. Gangs will use knife first b4 guns as its no noise. Only time guns come into play is when they fighting for control or taking a another competition. Which is rarely because the knife option is more discreet than a firearms option. Individual drug dealers will avoid using firearms even though they have access because knife is discreet but if this person faces an opponent with knife then the firearm will come out. Criminals are 2 running a illegal business so they want less heat. In uk illegal guns are available especially in the drugs trade as it goes hand in hand but using a gun is another thing. Plus i dont know if im right or wrong but i think a knife wound is more dangerous than a gunshot wound if single shot. I know if someone uses a knife they always pull knife back out after stabbing so because of that i think its worse. But if multiple stab wounds then diffrent story. Plus with guns majority of the ammunition for some reason are always non hollowpoint rounds in the uk. Marseille, Brussels, Lithuania and balkan countries contribute to illegal firearms mostly and once the war ends in ukraine u will c firearms flow across Europe then but currently it looks long term. Currently british firearms law is great but then again criminals don't go legal routes. To fight gun crime in uk just fight drug trade although if criminals have access they rarely use firearms. There's plenty firearms in uk its just ppl and criminals don't want heat. Sound is a problem. Higher the risk higher the chance of gun use because it has ability of multiple rounds. Plus currently majority handgun coming in are glocks compare 2 makarov, cz, berreta, baikals, tt33 (chinese type 52 pistol). 90's and 2000s wer abt uzi and mac10s but its about czech skorpions in smg or on assault rifle its the vz58 which ppl think is an ak😂 because it looks alike.

You'll be Northern Irish, yeah?

The law does not expressly state that a history of depression would prevent a licencse being issued (see more information here: www.gov.uk/guidance/firearms-licensing-police-guidance) BUT your GP would need to produce a report and the Police would likely also want further evidence (usually from either a second GP or Psychiatrist etc) to verify there is no risk the Police may also ask you to provide other evidence and/or involve other proffesionals and you would likely have to meet the cost of this. In short it depends entirely on the circumstances of any ill health, how recent it has been and what support has been given. To be honest with you, It WILL make a licence harder and less likely to be approved but it does NOT mean that it is impossible. You local firearms licensing team may be able to give more advice if needed.

Yes, Guncraft ltd make a Semi Auto AR15 chambered in .22WMR. We have no magazine restrictions though and our rifles can have barrels as short as 12" so long as they have an overall gun length of 24" or more

@@UKGuns in the us any barrel less then 16” needs a tax stamp for a rifle.

@@yankychannels we can have 12" with no additional requirements but unfortunately we can not have any firearm (save for a very small number of exceptions) with less than a 12" barrell as that would be considered a Pistol and those are outright banned.

I would have to politely disagree. Mag limits are more prohibitive in my opinion, that would make practical shooting pointless and on the handgun side of things, they account for the vast majority of homicides - so if you are going to ban anything it makes sense to ban them. Also haven’t you had a load of guns banned recently just in appearance?

@@hotshot8365 I'm not sure what you are disagreeing with? We don't have any mag limits here. As for guns being banned on appearance, no, the most recent ban was on "Lever Release" rifles, which is a rifle that ejects the empty cartridge using the semi auto gas system but then the bolt locks back, a push of the bolt release then loads the next round. These were banned as although they were not technically semi auto they were classified as "rapid firing". I disagree with the ban for many reasons but they were not banned due to their appearance, it was the action/function that was banned.

.223 and 5.56 are different though some rifles will happily use either.

Not quite. Most ARs are stamped .223. Certainly civilian ones are as its less common for these to be 5.56. Also some will be stamped for both .223 and 5.56. You are right on the throat length however if it were to cause the bolt to be out of battery (which I have not heard of before as the actual exterior lengths of the cases are identical) the rifle would not function, it is designed that way but I have never had this issue. I have fired will over 1500 rounds of 5.56 through this rifle, not one issue. As for the pressures there are lots of articles online that explain the pressure differences and that actually it is negligible in reality. 5.56 ammo is tested by the military differently to civillian organisations such as SAAMI and thus on PAPER pressures look different but in REALITY they are almost identical (5.56 is around 2000psi more which sounds a lot but it really isnt and is well within safety limits) Lucky Gunner wrote a great article on this where they detailed all their findings with evidence. In short shooting 5.56 in a .223 is not ideal for accuracy and reliabillity but it is most certainly NOT dangerous. 👍

Mine has a regular buffer spring which I have no issues with as do most others but yes technically you could have something different if you wanted.

Yeah it kinda sucks especially when it comes to pistols, we are only allowed muzzle loading pistols or “collectors/historical firearms”. We have a decent range when it comes to shotguns and rifles but that’s it really 🥲

Not as restrictive as ireland. We cant even own a crossbow

It’s simply rate of fire, you physically wouldn’t be able to match the rate of fire of a semi automatic with a bolt action or straight pull,

There's literally thousands of types of rifles and firearms you can own legally in the UK. This video is just a tiny representation of that. However some of the rifles in this video are the M4, ISSC Mk 22 (Scar clone), Smith and Wesson M & P 15-22 (.22lr semi auto AR15) and the bolt action rifle is a Sabatti Tactical Urban Sniper. The Semi Auto shotgun is a Hatsan Escort Magnum.

Brilliant. It was the shotgun and bolt action I was interested in 👍

You are so right, if this was genuinely a free country we wouldn’t have to ask permission from any government to merely own a firearm.

Utter bollocks.

I imagine the police would just say "don't do that"

Ironic, fishing or just being a tit? OK I will bite whey does the UK need more guns?

There are a couple of places that do let you try "mini rifles" (.22lr rifles) and you can just show up and shoot (its usually expensive though). However the main way to get into the sport is by joining a club, there are plenty around and usually affordable and a lot of fun, you can research online or try the NRA/NSRA websites to find your nearest club then get in touch with them you dont need a licence to join but you must have a clean criminal record (there are some exceptions which you can find by researching section 21 of the firearms act 1968, the easiest way to summarise it is, any crime that resulted in a prison sentence of 3 months or more will MOST LIKELY disqualify a person from ever obtaining or even using firearms in any capacity.) So long as that doesnt apply then you can join and get shooting using the clubs own guns until you get your licence.

@@UKGuns Excellent reply. Thanks very much 😊

@@Debacle7 no problem, good luck with it and most importantly, have fun!

No problem, and yes, we must show our licence in order to purchase ammunition

@@UKGuns or load your own which a lot of shooters do.

I know - they actually work!

As an actual UK Firearms owner I could not disagree more. I think they are a little too restrictive perhaps, but I am most assuredly in support of licensing and restricting access to certain types of weapons.

I absolutely agree, I would love to have to live in fear of going to school, so great

@@babybrentgaming1675 I didn't live in fear of going to school, I carried weapons illegally in school to protect myself.

@@user-rh9xp3xy8j 1) I never said that. 2) peacefully possessing a weapon for self defense does not make me a "part of the problem".

@@NayokeHenji 1) You literally did. In your reply. Above.

@@perkin2000 Really? I said I brought guns to school? Pretty sure I said weapons, but what do I know. I only wrote the comment and am looking right at it.

Oh is that it had more to do with the situation with northern Ireland and so on I mean the government to tell you anything but it seems to me that they don’t want the Irish have have guns

@@b.p.stimemachines2327 The IRA got most of their guns from illegal dealers or sympathetic countries like Libya, it was definitely the mas shootings that triggered the crackdown on available firearms.

@@davidmersh7221 I didn’t realize that Libya had access to ArmaLite rifles Being a uniquely American disaster I don’t think we would import it into a country that we’ve never been allies with but our dumb government does have a habit of funding both sides of wars so for them to send them to Northern Ireland would make sense Not to say that those are the only rifles used or they got falS from the English army I don’t know that’s a particular English problem and I’m not gonna get in the middle of it but I ha e noticed that Brits and Aussies tend to believe the their government narrative Americans think Princes Diana was murdered still and we are waiting for Megan Markell to drop dead with Harry for defying the queen.

@@b.p.stimemachines2327 I don't know about Armalite rifles but in the 1980's a ship was intercepted from Libya laden with arms and explosives for the IRA, there was plastic explosive, AK47's, RPG's etc.

@@b.p.stimemachines2327 Handguns are legal to own and carry in NI

You mean Thomas Hamilton that murdered 16 5 & 6 year olds and their teacher in the school gym?Some of the children were shot while wounded and trying to crawl away.That the cowardly wank piece you're referring to?

The proof of the pudding is in the eating... fortunately, we've not had a school shooting since then. Long may it continue. We should pity the USA not emulate their frequent school shootings.

Why would you need access to a .338 lapua if you only have access to a 30m range?

Its complicated but the short answer is you CAN get conversion kits and spare parts etc HOWEVER any pressure bearing parts (recievers, barrells and bolts etc) are classed as firearms in thier own right and thus you would need to have each one listed on your firearms licence seperately. So basically if you had a .223 AR and you wanted to buy a 9mm barell and conversion kit, you qould first have to have these added to your firearms licence then you could purchase them, hope that makes sense!

It does, thank you for your reply. Your video was very informative. Over here in the states it is the lower receiver that is considered the firearm, but it makes sense why they would make more than one component listed as the firearm.

@@patrickcurtis11 thanks! Glad you found the video informative :)

@@patrickcurtis11 I used to have three uppers and two lowers,.22lr semi auto,.223/5.56 straight pull and 6.5 grendel straight pull all with moderators. I love the modularity of the AR platform.my nephew shoots the LMT 7.62 sharpshooter rifle in the forces and he loves it

@@ifanrhys1 I really enjoy learning about the shooting sports over there. I think most of Americans believed guns were entirely outlawed in the UK, but seeing this and understanding the processes and laws is an interesting subject. I’m glad you guys are keeping it up over there.

That's cool and all but in the UK we don't have mass shootings regularly due to these restrictions.

I'm glad you live in America too... your 2 worse cities have 26X (!!) the murder rate of London (our very worst city for violent crime and murder). I'm also glad not to have to worry about school shootings over here, glad my son comes home safe each day. Enjoy your guns - in the UK we're genuinely sorry you have such high crime, murder and violent crime rates as a result.

@@WH-hi5ew your murder rate per capita is really high….especially with knives….. about 12 murders per 1 million people compared to 43 in America….UK population is 67 million and US is about 350 million. I would still want to live in the US under a giant blanket of freedom rather than under such restrictive laws like in the UK.
