Let's ignore the ATF allowed the Sinaloa Cartel, to procure the majority of their firearms in operation Fast and Furious. Only seizing a few hundred of the few thousand guns that they allowed to cross the border.
They put shitty GPS trackers in the guns and the batteries died before reaching the destination. They are idiots. One of the guns traced back to the death of a border patrol agent too. It's unbelievable nobody is in jail for that BS.
@@Will_JC Evidence does not matter when armed thugs have been given permission to stop you and shake your down and financially penalize you for not having your permission slip to drive. Most law enforcement doesn't know what is law and what isn't. If they are told to pull people over and slash the tires on anyone's vehicle who does not have a license, they would do it without bothering to consider if the law is on their side.. As long as they can fall back on "I am just doing my job," your situation is irrelevant. Not all, maybe not even half. But a whole lot are new, unseasoned morons. This whole demoralization of current times requires good, seasoned police to be cycled out specifically for fresh recruits who will not question their salary/pension dealers. Don't forget, every genocide begins with military/police who aren't willing to gamble their salaries and/or pensions to speak up and stop an inhumane cycle that they know is wrong.
@NYOTA By the way, what evidence exists to support the claim that a man is obligated to have a license or registration in order to use a car on the roads?
Let me explain: serial number>>manufacturer>>distributor>> retail store>>1st retail purchaser. That person is in the FFL's Bound Book. NOT a database, simple review of the FFL's records.
"The violence stems from decades of poverty (caused by corruption) and corruption, allowing criminal gangs to thrive." That was the most truly accurate, and not misleading, statement in this piece.
Anarcho-tyranny. Allowing violent riots and thievery to occur while locking up people for much lesser crimes, allowing violent criminals back into the streets with reduced sentences instead of putting them to death like they deserve. Yes, it is corruption from life-long politicians who profit from legal crime that they perpetuate. TERM LIMITS, NOW!
100% yes and it doesn't matter the laws. Even in the states some of the strictest laws around guns have the most violence. Disparity causes issues more than anything else.
The ATF agent is lying, if you purchase more then one firearm in a five day period, it requires a special report sent to the ATF and the Local law enforcement department. Once again, the ATF misrepresented the facts.
Y'know where they don't have a problem with gun violence? In countries that have strict gun laws. Japan, England, New Zealand, Switzerland, the list goes on and on.
@@kameronjones7139 Really? You're going to use the armed-cartel-at-our-gates argument when you JUST WATCHED a video that shows you those cartels are armed because of US gun manufactures are arming them? Nice try, but our gun violence problem is not armed cartels across the border, it's Americans shooting other Americans, and it's only happening because the gun laws and the attitudes toward guns in our country guarantee that violent criminals will have easy access to their death toys of choice.
@@HSSANITO The only corruption preventing the same success in the US is the influence that the firearm industry has over government and the control of the minds of the rightwing base, which it keeps locked up in the basement, catatonic with fear.
@@OrganNLou guns don’t kill people, people kill people. You think it is a coincidence that the US has more guns than people and is one of the safest countries in the world?
I love how Vice can make an entire documentary about illegal guns going to Mexico and South America and somehow the message is that we need stricter gun laws and not better border control. Progressive ideologues will never cease to amaze me.
Conservative “thinkers” are even more amazing. If they can’t get guns from us then they don’t have the means to continue pushing drugs. The southern border is already the most militarized border in the west if not the world. Money talks, that’s why guns and drugs flow through it
I feel this proved one thing and that is criminals will do whatever means it take to gain firearms. While the average citizen who is unable to is left defenseless. How Vice doesn’t realize they’re making that case is beyond me.
@@johnsmith-tb7pd I think it’s a matter of perspective. I’m of the opinion people have the right to self preservation. As well believe that there are larger consequences of firearms being out of control if they were to be banned. We’d see an influx of those owning firearms illegally with no background control. I’m certain you have your reasons to disagree with me. And you’re welcome to share them. I hope you well.
@@johnsmith-tb7pd guns were used approximately 1.67 million times per year in self defense, and in 2023 there were only approximately 200 mass shootings.
@randallwalkerdiaz1002 Have you ever defended yourself with a gun? Was it actually needed? Not saying it doesn't happen, but there are some absurd fantasies people have.
@@GrimOrdnance I know this is addressed to Randall, I wanted to chime in on that question. I used my firearm once in self defense protecting my home when a man broke in. As for fantasies I’ve met several individuals like that. However I would say a good majority lack fantasy and recognize the reality between being a liability and an asset to society.
Machine guns, grenades, RPGs that the cartels have do NOT come from the US - they are not available in gun stores. Machine guns made before 1986 can be purchased after a government background check, a $200 tax, photos, fingerprints. Not something that cartels are going to waste their time on, as approval can take 6 months or more.
You must be new here. They check the serial numbers on seized guns. I don’t know what makes you think they wouldn’t do that. And second of all it’s super easy to convert any AR to have select fire.
@@MrClownDroid They are not buying machine guns here legally. Sure, semi-automatic guns can be converted illegally to machine guns. So, where are the RPGs and grenades coming from? Some serious hardware is coming from places outside the U.S. into South and Central America - Russia and China come to mind, as well as stolen military guns.
I’ve lived in El Paso much of my life and grew up here. Cartel buying guns legally here is the most ridiculous thing anyone here could imagine. Never happening. They get theirs from other countries in bulk and military grade.
The AK the Sinaloa cartel guy had is a full auto Chinese AK. We did not get those in the US because full auto was effectively banned in 1986 and those are worth $30k plus along with being federally registered.
@@user-gz4ve8mw9l maybe but without that right a person is either dependent on others for protection Or defenseless It would be better for everyone to be armed and there fore able to defend themselves Then to be dependent on someone else Especially a corrupt government in the pockets of the cartels Or worse defenseless
But do you also support the right for criminals to arm themselves too? Because that's what the US lack of personal defense gun laws do. The 2nd Amendment has been abused to no end.
You don't sue your fork for making you fat, you don't sue a car company over a wreck, you don't sue your pencil for a bad grade, why in hell would suing gun makers make any sense?
It's just gun nuts who value gun rights over human lives. We're the only country that has hundreds of mass shootings yearly. People like you don't care how many people die as long as you can carry a weapon.
"Over the past year, over 44,000 individuals lost their lives due to firearm-related incidents in the United States." ~21,000 of those were murders. The rest (the majority) were suicides. Meanwhile, there are over 1.6 MILLION defensive gun uses a year: "2021 National Firearms Survey" by Prof. William English, Georgetown McDonough School of Business Research Paper No. 3887145; PDF available free online. So why don't disarmists ever tell you about how many crimes are stopped or prevented with guns??
As a cop in Southern California we don't respect or like the ATF. They come down here and guess what, there harassing liquor stores!!! Our sheriff got mad at them and told these imbeciles to go away! We refused to help these clowns with anything. And tobacco stores, yeah that's what they prioritize too. A big joke.
Because this is what happens when you have loose laws (The wrong ones) from people who would trade lives for the luxury of convenience from politicians with ulterior motives who don’t inspire confidence for an already skeptical (understandably so) and selfish gun community (also true) It’s not a good mix.
Cause Vice is one of the most biased, far left leaning news outlets in the USA. Always filled with propaganda and pushing their narrative upon their viewers. I like some of the documentaries but most are just bs biased news reporters asking questions to things they already have their minds made up about them push back when they get an answer they dot like.
Mexico needs to make it legal for citizens to protect themselves from the cartel. The cartel has it made knowing that the government makes sure the citizens are unarmed and vulnerable!
😂😅I know!!!!! Let's build a border wall so crap can't be trafficked and put some kind of border control officers down there😂😅. Wait... wouldn't that be xenophobic??😂😅
This is framed as a US gun law problem, but it is really a border and law enforcement issue. And seeing that Mexico has only ONE gun store and sales are highly regulated and controlled and yet the Mexican cartels and criminals are STILL able to acquire them illegally.....It is almost as if laws are not followed by those who choose not to, so what does more laws that only harm the law abiding accomplish?????
The assertion that US guns are arming the cartel is vastly overblown. First, it is well known that over 30% of the weapons imported by the Mexican army go "missing." Second, if the Mexicans thought that arms smuggling from the USA was a big deal they would try to stop it which they absolutely do not. I have been driving into to Mexico for over 50 years and not only has my car never been searched, it has never even been stopped. Not once has a Mexican border guard asked deep and probing questions like "What is the purpose of your visit?" or "Are you smuggling guns?" Cartels don't need to buy civilian legal weapons that are mendaciously labeled by the left as "weapons of war" when they can easily bribe the local comandante and get the real thing. This lie persists because it allows the US left cast dispersions on legal guns and gun owners and allows the corrupt Mexican government to deflect blame away from the true suppliers of the murderous drug cartels which are themselves.( and maybe win a huge chunk of cash from their BS lawsuit to boot).
I am not even from the US but it's strange that Americans believe that it is so easy to get a fully automatic rifle in the states, bye the way, how many of those deaths are suicide or illegal guns
I love how the comment section basically debunks this whole video. Like one guy can go buy 10 .50 cals and sell them across the border without getting flagged.
Yes, because obviously some red necks whos highest form of education is a highschool deploma are much smarter than a government agency and trained reporters

@@DrakeWiltTreating a document that was written over 200 years ago by white racist wealthy men as gospel for contemporary America is absolutely religious fanaticism
"AND HIT TARGETS OVER A MILE AWAY" Most rifles can do this. Most people cannot, and that is your limiting factor. An average deer rifle with an above average commercial scope can hit a target a mile away if it's being operated by the correct person. Maybe one in 500,000 people is the right person to make that shot.
I'm a liberal and damn I wish they would stop. One we have bigger issues to fry like mental health. Ya know the systemic issue with violence in America. Two, laws don't stop people from doing a damn thing. You'll just create a bigger black market for law-abiding citizens. Three not everyone is a stones throw from a police officer. They also have wild animals that can be a danger to their family and animals. Four - ATF is the worse law enforcement agency by far. Five - my biggest fucking gripe with anti gun folks? They don't ever include the massive amount of times a firearm or weapon for that matter has stopped a crime from happening through brandishing! Just the show of force to deescalate happens all the time yet isn't reported. Should take away suicides. Guns are just an easier to way to do it that is all, but won't solve the core issue.
Agreed. A 7mm mag or 338 mag are super fast flat shooting guns. They easily can shoot a mile shot. I think they spew stuff like that for shock factor. People that don’t know guns do not understand a 22lr can shoot insanely far.
As someone whose shot shitty rifles my whole life, I was about to hit a target over a mile away when I used a computer assisted 6.5 creedmore, with an optic worth as much as the rifle (probably 15k in gear total). I had never shot past 200 beforehand. You'd be surprised how quickly a gunman can get talented with 15 rounds and a high powered weapon
i love how all the ways these weapons leave the country are admitted to already be illegal... so obviously more laws will fix everything... and just wait till they hear about operation fast and furious
You didn’t watch the video clearly (or maybe didn’t pay attention). They talked about US private gun sales (which have v. little oversight/regulations) being the source of most of the guns being used in these countries.
@@marcweisi knowingly selling firearms (privately or not) to a prohibited person, or a person you know will commit prohibited acts is............ you guessed it, illegal.

It's truly mind-boggling that anyone who even halfway understood the gun laws on books currently. Could say with a straight face, that more gun laws are going to make any difference whatsoever. To honestly believe that, you are either truly ignorant or just absolutely in denial. I truly urge anyone who thinks that I'm wrong. To spend a couple hours doing some research and figuring out what the actual laws are in your state, and not to get your information from some media hit piece.
Guns are not legally given to Mexico they are distributed by the CIA see " Operation Fast and Furious." They are also obtained illegally as you cannot buy a gun in the US if you are a felon since there is a back ground check that goes directly to the FBI database and if you lie on your check you are arrested at the gun store by the state police and any gun shop will tell you this when you get to section on adjudication and felony charges.
@@raulthepig5821 of course there is, called sweet heart deal which if I were to go to DC even though I have CC in another state if police found out I would be arrested in though it violates the 2nd amendment.
You can’t just walk into a gun store and buy a gun, everyone gets an fbi background check and has to fill out a form 4473 as well as produce a drivers license. If they just walked in somewhere and bought it then either the person who bought it was a us citizen (and those guns serial numbers are attached to their name) or they bought it from an individual person. If you buy a gun from a store it is registered there is no such thing as an unregistered firearm unless you built it in your home and I don’t think there are a lot of people building Barrett’s in their basement.
You can at gun shows. I saw another documentary a guy went to a guy show to see how easy it was. He came out with three guns. Almost immediately a black truck pulled up and offered them cash for the guns they bought. It's not that hard to get a gun.
Current federal law requires background checks to be performed for anyone purchasing a firearm at a federally licensed gun dealer-however only 40% of guns sold in the US are sold through a federally licensed dealer. 30% of guns involved in criminal trafficking are connected to gun shows, where background checks aren’t required. The trafficking of guns generally involves a highly efficient, organized, and profitable business that moves guns from legal manufacture to dealers to criminals and young people who can’t buy guns legally.
@@JayLista Did you just conveniently ignore the second sentence? It's illegal to sell a gun to people who can't buy one. How do you add a law or a background check to prevent this when it's already illegal and the burden to sniff out straw purchases is placed on the FFL holder?
@@RepEvox "The trafficking of guns generally involves a highly efficient, organized, and profitable business that moves guns from legal manufacture to dealers to criminals and young people who can’t buy guns legally." Unlicensed sale > trafficker > illegal sale. UBC = tracing the chain of ownership.
@@JayLista What are you going to do when they scratch off the serial? Who are you going to trace when the trafficker is the US government during fast and furious? Who is going to enforce the laws on the book when the guns are in Mexico?
To ever think guns are just gonna go away and violence will stop, is such an ignorant statement... thats the same idea that people have about drugs... neither are going anywhere... so we need to adjust and evolve.

I'm with you. It can be infuriating when someone who doesn't even know what a gamma amino butyric acid (GABA) agonist is or mu opioid receptors are tries to tell me "you are not a doctor, so you aren't knowledgeable enough to make choices about what chemicals you ingest." I'm not trying to insult them or imply they are stupid, but IMHO they have no right to tell me (or others) that I don't know what I am talking about when they can't even pronounce cyclobenzaprine or carisprodol (or think fentanyl is spelled with an o). Just because someone does not have MD or Pharm D behind their name does not ipso facto mean that they are ignorant on the topic and should have their autonomy taken away. I put them in the same camp of people that don't know the difference between automatic and semi-automatic firearms but seem to have the loudest voices on what firearm policy should look like. It doesn't take more than an hour or two to learn the basics of firearms if you feel that strongly about the issue. It is hard to take someone's opinion seriously when they can't even perform a Google search to educate themselves.
but uh, the drug market has shifted to China, South America is outta wack, they need guns in order to revolt, the USA makes and sells fire-arms to Ukraine, and uh, comes back to us, the USA needs drugs because we are basically in poverty, and work 24-7. we are proud when we don't live.
@@MrClownDroid Wrong. There are two continents. Not to mention, when I posted this, there were other grammatical errors. The title originally read like: "How US Gun Laws Are Affect the Rest of America".
Regarding universal background checks, why would illegal gun traffickers, who are already breaking multiple federal laws in the process of illegally trafficking guns, care if they have to potentially break another law during that process? Additionally, if they are buying guns in the amount required to effectively act as an illegal gun trafficker, then--by federal law--those purchases would already require background checks, even if they are illegally not being performed already.
Shhhhh don't tell the lefties that a even more useless questionnaire will not solve all of the problems somehow. I rather have that then a complete ban a la Mexico City style.
because they arent buying them new from stores, they're buying them 2nd , 3rd , 4th hand because of the ability to private sell , and not have to transfer . if US citizens had to legally transfer through an FFL , that would lessen the amount of weapons sold to those criminals who then get it back to mexico and beyond . . . problem with that , having to register firearms , and the inability from the right to offer anything of substance , while complaining about how gun laws arent working, and then refusing to compromise because its seen as concession . . . it's also the same way most guns end up in US criminals possession . . . its weird to ask a question you already know the answer too . . but won't be a part of resolving the problem . . . . .i'm all for guns rights , beyond what we currently have , but i'm also for registration , and all private sales being done through an FFL .
Do you realize the fallacy in your question? Right now, they just go buy the guns legally because it’s that easy to get them and drive them back across the border. So, zero background check is contributing to illegal gun trafficking and deaths. If there was a background check and a waiting period, they would have to find another way of getting them. The 10 deadliest mass shootings of the past decade all involved legally purchased guns. Illegal purchases were made by 13% of those committing mass shootings. In cases involving K-12 school shootings, over 80% of individuals who engaged in shootings stole guns from family members. The conservative idea that bad people get weapons illegally is obtuse when anyone can just go buy them without hassle. Its flat-out asinine to think that background checks wouldn’t have any affect when it has been proven beyond any doubt that no background check is a root cause.
@SuperAtomiczombies I just said it supply and demand . People die for drugs to get here because they are so valuable. If no one used them they would be worthless . I also doubt that tons come in without help . We have the tightest border in the world.
How would stricter gun laws help keep these criminals from getting guns? If they are willing to break one of Gods cardinal rules why would they care about our laws?

Don't let people point the muzzle of a firearm at your camera man or woman for a story or for any reason. That's probably the biggest no-no in gun safety. Education in gun safety is a must for just such a story- credibility can go out the window under the circumstances if you're trying to influence the thought process of gun owners.

You always have to do a background check, on all firearm purchases that are not muzzle loaders or black powder. So you just lied about being able to buy a barrett without a background check. Now if the purchaser has a CCW permit, FFL 1-3, or an SRO permit ,you don't need a background check because your permit number is on filed with the government...

“Do you need X# of guns?” Yes. Different guns have different uses and guns break down. Plus having more guns doesn’t make someone more dangerous. They can only use one or two at a time.

No that's a lie about buying 40 guns. If you buy 2 on the same form, you get flagged for that. What makes you think you would walk in and buy 40 at a time? At a gun show, yes; at a gun store, no.
I don't think so even at a Gun Show. Try to buy 40 guns from a single FFL at a gun show, flagged. Buy from 40 different FFL's, with 40 separate 4473's, yeah that is gonna get flagged. Try to buy that many from one or several Private Sellers, it would be noticed and someone would be calling in about it. Buying 40 Black Powder guns, yeah that might happen. Gotta love collectors of antique guns.
You know, I am tired if the blame being put on the U.S. Mexico and other countries have a responsibility to be thorough with what passes through their border as well. Accountability needs to happen on both sides irregardless of who, what, why, when, where or how. Pointing the finger is just an excuse. That is only my opinion. The narrative always points to the U.S. not being accountable.
Do you think before guns, people said “these people are dying because of swords and knives and bows” instead of “we need to actually do something to put and end to this violence”.
All citizens should be proficient and own a firearm...We used to have ROTC in high school ... We had guns in the back windows of our pick up trucks parked in the school lot... Never any problems...But we didnt have SSRI's anti depressants... Its the pharmaceuticals that changed and I cant believe how many kids our on that stuff...its over 50% in school..
Same with me I went to high school from 1982-1986, guns in our cars and trucks Buck knives on almost every males belt and no one ever got shot or stabbed! A fight was one on one with a winner and a loser you took your ass-beating and came back for a revenge fight.
Its also just big changes in society like high divorce rates and so many fatherless homes. Kids with only one parent are much much more likely to have problems like being violent and going to jail.
untreated generational trauma causes mental illness. its not bad that new generations have access to life saving medical care if they need it???? Just having a gun around is not the same as it was back then anymore with how many shootings and just overall violent crimes there are, and encouraging people to get guns and be armed and know how to use them isn't gonna fix how terrifying they are to people. we should not have to live in a world where teenagers need to know how to do that
They’re suing the gun stores for “turning a blind eye” in that case let’s sue their entire country for turning a blind eye to the drug crisis. Pointing blame for any of these things is a joke. Ppl gon get what they want and that’s that regardless of their local laws.

"The violence stems from decades of poverty (caused by corruption) and corruption, allowing criminal gangs to thrive." That was the most truly accurate, and not misleading, statement in this piece.
Centuries, not decades.
Don't you just love the democrat ran cities..that's where the vast majority of gun violence happens
Anarcho-tyranny. Allowing violent riots and thievery to occur while locking up people for much lesser crimes, allowing violent criminals back into the streets with reduced sentences instead of putting them to death like they deserve. Yes, it is corruption from life-long politicians who profit from legal crime that they perpetuate. TERM LIMITS, NOW!
Agreed.
100% yes and it doesn't matter the laws. Even in the states some of the strictest laws around guns have the most violence. Disparity causes issues more than anything else.
The ATF agent is lying, if you purchase more then one firearm in a five day period, it requires a special report sent to the ATF and the Local law enforcement department. Once again, the ATF misrepresented the facts.

Machine guns, grenades, RPGs that the cartels have do NOT come from the US - they are not available in gun stores. Machine guns made before 1986 can be purchased after a government background check, a $200 tax, photos, fingerprints. Not something that cartels are going to waste their time on, as approval can take 6 months or more.
You must be new here. They check the serial numbers on seized guns. I don’t know what makes you think they wouldn’t do that. And second of all it’s super easy to convert any AR to have select fire.
@@MrClownDroid They are not buying machine guns here legally. Sure, semi-automatic guns can be converted illegally to machine guns. So, where are the RPGs and grenades coming from?

Almost all of the rifles the cartel uses are automatic. Something Americans can’t own.

The assertion that US guns are arming the cartel is vastly overblown. First, it is well known that over 30% of the weapons imported by the Mexican army go "missing." Second, if the Mexicans thought that arms smuggling from the USA was a big deal they would try to stop it which they absolutely do not. I have been driving into to Mexico for over 50 years and not only has my car never been searched, it has never even been stopped. Not once has a Mexican border guard asked deep and probing questions like "What is the purpose of your visit?" or "Are you smuggling guns?" Cartels don't need to buy civilian legal weapons that are mendaciously labeled by the left as "weapons of war" when they can easily bribe the local comandante and get the real thing. This lie persists because it allows the US left cast dispersions on legal guns and gun owners and allows the corrupt Mexican government to deflect blame away from the true suppliers of the murderous drug cartels which are themselves.( and maybe win a huge chunk of cash from their BS lawsuit to boot).

You can’t just walk into a gun store and buy a gun, everyone gets an fbi background check and has to fill out a form 4473 as well as produce a drivers license. If they just walked in somewhere and bought it then either the person who bought it was a us citizen (and those guns serial numbers are attached to their name) or they bought it from an individual person. If you buy a gun from a store it is registered there is no such thing as an unregistered firearm unless you built it in your home and I don’t think there are a lot of people building Barrett’s in their basement.
You can at gun shows. I saw another documentary a guy went to a guy show to see how easy it was. He came out with three guns. Almost immediately a black truck pulled up and offered them cash for the guns they bought. It's not that hard to get a gun.
Private sales in most places don't require a background check just like gun shows in some states.
I can walk into any gun store and buy a gun. If I have a CCW from any time in my past, I won't even be asked any questions.
Federal NICS background check is mandatory in every state for new gun purchases. Straw purchases are illegal, as admitted in this video.
Current federal law requires background checks to be performed for anyone purchasing a firearm at a federally licensed gun dealer-however only 40% of guns sold in the US are sold through a federally licensed dealer. 30% of guns involved in criminal trafficking are connected to gun shows, where background checks aren’t required. The trafficking of guns generally involves a highly efficient, organized, and profitable business that moves guns from legal manufacture to dealers to criminals and young people who can’t buy guns legally.

It can be infuriating when someone who doesn't even know what a gamma amino butyric acid (GABA) agonist is or mu opioid receptors are tries to tell me "you are not a doctor, so you aren't knowledgeable enough to make choices about what chemicals you ingest." I'm not trying to insult them or imply they are stupid, but IMHO they have no right to tell me (or others) that I don't know what I am talking about when they can't even pronounce cyclobenzaprine or carisprodol (or think fentanyl is spelled with an o). Just because someone does not have MD or Pharm D behind their name does not ipso facto mean that they are ignorant on the topic and should have their autonomy taken away.
I put them in the same camp of people that don't know the difference between automatic and semi-automatic firearms but seem to have the loudest voices on what firearm policy should look like. It doesn't take more than an hour or two to learn the basics of firearms if you feel that strongly about the issue.

Regarding universal background checks, why would illegal gun traffickers, who are already breaking multiple federal laws in the process of illegally trafficking guns, care if they have to potentially break another law during that process? Additionally, if they are buying guns in the amount required to effectively act as an illegal gun trafficker, then--by federal law--those purchases would already require background checks, even if they are illegally not being performed already.
Shhhhh don't tell the lefties that a even more useless questionnaire will not solve all of the problems somehow. I rather have that then a complete ban a la Mexico City style.
because they arent buying them new from stores, they're buying them 2nd , 3rd , 4th hand because of the ability to private sell , and not have to transfer . if US citizens had to legally transfer through an FFL , that would lessen the amount of weapons sold to those criminals who then get it back to mexico and beyond . . . problem with that , having to register firearms , and the inability from the right to offer anything of substance , while complaining about how gun laws arent working, and then refusing to compromise because its seen as concession . . . it's also the same way most guns end up in US criminals possession . . . its weird to ask a question you already know the answer too . . but won't be a part of resolving the problem . . . . .i'm all for guns rights , beyond what we currently have , but i'm also for registration , and all private sales being done through an FFL .
OP you want to arm the criminals by making it easy for them? Gtfo
illegal gun traffickers are just called republicans lol
Do you realize the fallacy in your question? Right now, they just go buy the guns legally because it’s that easy to get them and drive them back across the border. So, zero background check is contributing to illegal gun trafficking and deaths. If there was a background check and a waiting period, they would have to find another way of getting them.
The 10 deadliest mass shootings of the past decade all involved legally purchased guns. Illegal purchases were made by 13% of those committing mass shootings. In cases involving K-12 school shootings, over 80% of individuals who engaged in shootings stole guns from family members.
The conservative idea that bad people get weapons illegally is obtuse when anyone can just go buy them without hassle. Its flat-out asinine to think that background checks wouldn’t have any affect when it has been proven beyond any doubt that no background check is a root cause.

It is a disgrace. It isn't like this in ANY modern European democracy.
Referring to North and South America as just “America” so 1 billion people can all identify as “Americans” is a little linguistic switch to justify endless mass immigration to the US.
1 round of 50 BMG is $10. Lets not get too crazy thinking these are extreme. The framers had canons in mind. If we apply the constitution according to the text, history and tradition, our rights have been infridged.
Turns out the old white guys from 250 years ago got some things wrong.
Infringed*
The commies want you disarmed so you can't exterminate them as our ancestors should've done. That's all.
The problem is simple: We're not hanging our domestic enemies, our greatest enemies.
We’re winning the gun battle(sort of) and losing the war. We have 400 mil. guns and NO MEN to use them.
Why is western civilization being intentionally collapsed and who or what profits from this?
The commie globalist trash want us disarmed so we can't hunt and exterminate them as should have been done generations ago.
The SECOND AMENDMENT was written as a statement of MILITARY purpose to ACKNOWLEDGE our NATURAL BORN right to possess ARMS SUPERIOR to those carried by the standing army our Founders rightly feared. But we have NO MEN to enforce this.
Why don't we have an engraved in granite copy of the Bill of Rights and the Bill of Rights of that state in front of EVERY govt. building beside a granite gallows to be used on the demonscat and republicrat trash that breaks their Oath as soon as they take it?????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
See what the evil goolag doesn't want you to:

Your rights have been infringed? In what way?
The framers were concerned about having a permanent standing army and the ability to form a militia.
We have both and it’s the best military in the world. Your personally owned firearms are superfluous and costly.
Weird how you can buy a 50 cal with no background check but when I bought my Springfield hellion I had to fill out a 4473
Sounds like Mexico needs to "just legalize it".
Then that’ll put the cartels outta business
You mean the drugs? Okay, in some respects, I have no problem with that. Just as long as the druggies don't move into my neighborhood.
Wow, criminals commit crimes that's mind blowing
Abolish the ATF
I would love to see that dislike ratio right about now. Do better Vice stop the biased reporting. People see this and will discredit your credibility only further…..

Thank God for the second amendment, if Mexico had one, maybe they wouldn’t have this cartel problem
Lollll for real
Mexico has a cartel problem because of drug users, if we educated our kids and stopped being a drug thirsty country we would slow down the cartels .
@@enviouscreationscarclub1 the drug problem is a little more complex than just educating children.
@dansmith5859 trust me I know, but it is a start . We can't always blame our problems on 3 world countries. What do I know .
This made me laugh Maybe u should educate yourself the reason Mexico has all its guns is bc of America there’s one gun store in the whole of Mexico that is controlled by the government😭😭😭😭 maybe if people stopped caring more about guns and more about society and growing we could get somewhere we are stuck on blm and guns for the older generation 😭😭
Ah yes, vice back at it telling me how dangerous my second amendment right is. Time to build another AR. Get fucked.
This just seems like one more reason to secure our borders.
Secure them? - they need to be locked down.....
Great wall of Mexico coming soon 2024
Hell no on universal background checks!! So many Americans are so ready to give up our constitutional rights! WTF?
Lmao where did they say that
You must have a sketchy background if you are worried about that.
Honestly insane how far gone Americans are that they think a universal background check is any admission to their "rights". America is the least free OCED nation and yet you all think the idea of freedom is owning a gun and not living a life without debt, medical care and parental leave
@@DelightfulOne323 no universal backgrounds will lead to registration then confiscation you certified goofy
No we're not lol.
UTTER BS WHEN THE AGENT TELLS HIM THAT THE FFL DOES NOT HAVE TO REPORT A SALE OF 40- AK-47 TO THE ATF. IF MORE THAN 3 ARE SOLD TO THE SAME INDIVIDUAL AT ONE TIME OR OVER A COURSE OF A SEVERAL DAYS, THE FFL MUST SEND A REPORT TO ALL LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT AS WELL AS THE ATF ITS SELF. The only exclusion is if the buyer is a Licensed FFL HOLDER himself. TELL THE TRUTH INSTEAD OF LYING TO EVERYONE> PICK UP A COPY OF THE CURRENT ATF RULES AND REGULATIONS and educate yourself.
An armed society is a polite society
tell that to Somalia and Haiti, and the people living under drug cartels.
@@jamesmitch9792, because it is only the criminals who have guns.

Don't let people point the muzzle of a firearm at your camera man or woman for a story or for any reason. That's probably the biggest no-no in gun safety. Education in gun safety is a must for just such a story- credibility can go out the window under the circumstances if you're trying to influence the thought process of gun owners.
Not a big loss anyways
People are getting fatter and fatter every year because of how easy it is to buy spoons in America. It's definitely not a lack of self-control, diet, and exercise. It's the spoons, ban all spoons.
Anybody else remember when the ATF was trafficking said "illegal" guns to Mexico? Pepperidge farm remembers....
Iran Contra…
Everyone wants to talk about “take guns away” “ban guns” “no one needs a gun” go try telling that to your local gang member and see how that works out.
You always have to do a background check, on all firearm purchases that are not muzzle loaders or black powder. So you just lied about being able to buy a barrett without a background check. Now if the purchaser has a CCW permit, FFL 1-3, or an SRO permit ,you don't need a background check because your permit number is on filed with the government...
Guns are not legal or illegal, only the actions of people are criminal....or not.
black tar heroin is not legal or illegal, only the action of people are criminal....or not.
@@maxkirchgessner468 ya got no facts
@@jb-vb8un exactly, and neither do you. But tbh it was kinda an unfair comparison because guns are significantly more dangerous and kill way more people than heroin
@@maxkirchgessner468 HAHAHA HOHOHO HEEHEEHEEHEE - - - your phony attempt at comparisons lacks validity - - - OCT 2017 , During a speech Thursday on the opioid epidemic, President Donald Trump said that “more people are dying from [drug] overdoses today than from gun homicides and motor vehicles combined "
In 2015, deaths in the U.S. from drug overdose surpassed deaths from gun homicides and motor vehicles combined. Although finalized overdose death data have not yet been released for 2016, estimates indicate that overdose deaths are again set to eclipse total deaths from motor vehicle accidents and gun homicides.
Yes and the GUNS make it happen!
if you buy 15 gun from a dealer they are in your name. if you sell it to a person on the street guess who door they are coming 2. yours
Is it just me or is that Video Title hard to understand. 😂😂😂
If you went to school you will know that america is a continent not a country.then you probably only made it to 3rd grad the most
@Alejandrosoprano notice I had 24 likes because the title was incorrect. You're obviously not that educated to be upset over a youtube comment. Just so you know the original title was "How US Gun Laws "Are" Affect the rest of America"
🤣🤣🤣 YOU SOUND IGNORANT. Typical Karen's.
@Alejandrosoprano 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Just check other comments mentioning the exact same thing.
I have a feeling... you won't respond. Hahahahahahaha I love silencing Karen's.
“America is a continent not a country! 😡, technically we’re American too!” yeah no one cares Pablo lol
Pretty easy for me to understand!
These so-called journalists/propaganda pushers need to do more research and get their facts straight. It's also interesting that I didn't see anything on the open southern border since it flows both ways
If you see how Hamas slaughtered more than 1k people in Israel and believe you should disarm the population to be sitting ducks to suffer that you are insane. People need to be able to protect themselves and protect each other
At 6:20 the atf agent lies and says theirs no requirements for them to identify the individual who buys over $100'000 worth of .50. The FFL HAS A a 4473 form that's needed.
A 4473 is only required from an FFL you said it yourself. P2P sales require no ID
@@Zangretenbut your required by existing federal law to obtain a FFL if you sell guns with the intentions of making a profit.
“Do you need X# of guns?” Yes. Different guns have different uses and guns break down. Plus having more guns doesn’t make someone more dangerous. They can only use one or two at a time.
Speak for yourself, I can use 3 at a time. Its prehensile. 😎
Guns don't lie to you like cop's and politicians !
love how they keep saying no back ground checks u can tell hes never bought a gun in the fucking usa

"crime did drop 30% during this time, but that was likely due to a truce between gangs" LMAO wow thats a legitimately good joke
the two gangs were probably like: "uhhh so ummm, the people we used to bully all have guns on them now...maybe we should not target them anymore"
It's shame Gavin left all those years ago, and Shane is hardly involved now. Vice has lost its way. I remember the days when your journalism was truly unbiased. Exposing the propaganda others put out. But all those business deals have made you no different from the rest of the media. You became to big and brought in too many people. You can barely afford to pay your workers, let alone your bills. I wish we'd see a downsize back to the days of Gavin, Shane and Saroosh, but we never will. I hope one day you'll go back to true news and now propaganda.
Sounds like Mexico should secure their borders better.... As an American I'm not going to take blame for actions of criminals.
Maybe y’all should stop doing drugs lol
@@guyanon9792 I agree! There is common ground between the both of us!
@@guyanon9792maybe y’all should stop murdering each other like dogs. Mexicans will always find a way to blame it on someone else😂
@@guyanon9792good generalization
SEMI AUTOMATIC IS NOT AN ASSAULT RIFLE.
It is by their definition, and that's the problem. They say it loud enough and in as many places as possible to change what the public thinks the definition is. Propaganda is powerful that way.
Assault rifle isn’t even a real term…I think CNN made that term up thinking AR is abbreviation for “assault rifle”
There is no such thing as an assault rifle, it's a completely made up term.
California seems to disagree with you
With the original intent of the Constitution civilians should be able to own automatic weapons, mortars, explosives, etc
Anything you would need to fight a war. I say disband the military and just rely on the people.
This report seems a little sketchy to me
11:53 the way he smiles when he hears “only one gun per house”…..i almost question if he is even American…
That's mexico
No that's a lie about buying 40 guns. If you buy 2 on the same form, you get flagged for that. What makes you think you would walk in and buy 40 at a time? At a gun show, yes; at a gun store, no.
I don't think so even at a Gun Show. Try to buy 40 guns from a single FFL at a gun show, flagged. Buy from 40 different FFL's, with 40 separate 4473's, yeah that is gonna get flagged. Try to buy that many from one or several Private Sellers, it would be noticed and someone would be calling in about it.
Buying 40 Black Powder guns, yeah that might happen. Gotta love collectors of antique guns.
“The Barrett .50 caliber” 💀 gotta love it when people that have no idea about guns makes videos about guns

Keep your guns, boys!
I'm Pro-Gun. I just come on here to see what the opposition is saying, lying about, this time.
You know, I am tired if the blame being put on the U.S. Mexico and other countries have a responsibility to be thorough with what passes through their border as well. Accountability needs to happen on both sides irregardless of who, what, why, when, where or how. Pointing the finger is just an excuse. That is only my opinion. The narrative always points to the U.S. not being accountable.
If everyone had a gun the world would be safe again
Yup, an over-reliance on police an being afraid of guns because of death makes criminals more inclined to cause crime
If everyone had a gun we wouldn’t need police
Do you think before guns, people said “these people are dying because of swords and knives and bows” instead of “we need to actually do something to put and end to this violence”.
How can people realistically be safe without a means of self protection equal to that of your attacker? We can't.
Rest of the world can but americans can’t apparently.
@@alen2773rest of the world wouldn’t exist without America in 2 world wars
All citizens should be proficient and own a firearm...We used to have ROTC in high school ... We had guns in the back windows of our pick up trucks parked in the school lot... Never any problems...But we didnt have SSRI's anti depressants... Its the pharmaceuticals that changed and I cant believe how many kids our on that stuff...its over 50% in school..
Our nation is being poisoned from within and without by our leaders
We use to have the draft that's where the military turned boys in to men. And they also knew how to protect themselves and others
Same with me I went to high school from 1982-1986, guns in our cars and trucks Buck knives on almost every males belt and no one ever got shot or stabbed! A fight was one on one with a winner and a loser you took your ass-beating and came back for a revenge fight.
Its also just big changes in society like high divorce rates and so many fatherless homes. Kids with only one parent are much much more likely to have problems like being violent and going to jail.
untreated generational trauma causes mental illness. its not bad that new generations have access to life saving medical care if they need it???? Just having a gun around is not the same as it was back then anymore with how many shootings and just overall violent crimes there are, and encouraging people to get guns and be armed and know how to use them isn't gonna fix how terrifying they are to people. we should not have to live in a world where teenagers need to know how to do that
They’re suing the gun stores for “turning a blind eye” in that case let’s sue their entire country for turning a blind eye to the drug crisis. Pointing blame for any of these things is a joke. Ppl gon get what they want and that’s that regardless of their local laws.
They both go hand in hand. Less guns would make it hard for cartels to control and distribute drugs.
@@DelightfulOne323. cartels get most of their guns from the Mexican government who legally buys them from many countries including the US.
