There is no such thing as "too much money" in the US. We believe that your money is yours and you can spend it how you want. As long as you earn it legally, we do not care if you have $1 or 1 trillion dollars.
Where I live in rural Tennessee, most people carry guns: some visible, most concealed. We have almost no violent crime. Most homes contain several firearms, and people who know how to use them. We are legally allowed to shoot on our own property out here, so there is a lot of gun fire, but unlike Memphis or Chicago or any big city, gunfire here is the sound of freedom, and very comforting. As a refuge from California, its different here. Im no longer worried or looking around all the time. I am armed everywhere I go, and so is everyone else. It creates a polite and safe society.

I can guarantee that you see people in the US just walking around who are carrying. You just may not see the actual weapon if it’s not an open-carry state. I have several friends who are ALWAYS armed when they leave their homes (male and female). I don’t own or carry, but have used both hunting rifles and hand guns several times. I grew up hunting with a .22 and a shotgun with my dad, and my brother has taken me to the range several times just for gun safety / familiarity and target practice.
It still makes me wonder what it would be like to be afraid of firearms. I've been shooting since I was 8 fifty years ago and have firearms laying around my house. And no there are no children present. they're no different than any other tool like say a nail gun.@@enzofan_

In order to own an automatic firing weapon (like they have in the military ) you have to get a special approval. Regular people are only allowed semi automatic or single shot. One thing around here a lot of us grew up started shooting with bb guns and pellet guns.
There's a few states that don't honor the NFA in various ways. In Kansas for instance if the firearm was manufactured in Kansas then Kansas is OK with it. Kinda weird but OK. Firearms laws are mostly state laws. Being as the federal government is prohibited from making firearms laws by the Constitution. The whole Congress shall make no law thing. Although apparently laws don't seem to matter to politicians. Or they're just too stupid and can't read.
For the full autos aka machine guns, the ATF prohibits the possession or ownership of any machine guns made after May 1986. So they are incredibly rare and expensive, require extra federal forms/registration on top of the 4473/background check, and $200 tax stamp per weapon. But no specific license per se. To get any made after 1986, you must get a Federal Firearms License (FFL) and a Class 3 Dealer license, and if you want to manufacture it yourself, that's another license. Which is all quite an involved process to say the least.
Where I'm from you see people carrying guns on their hip all the time, that doesn't even include Concealed carry needless to say you're kinda always protected in small towns, at least where I'm from
I think it's really difficult for most of us who grew up in the US to completely understand the emotional reaction people from some other countries have to US gun culture. But equally, it seems like people from most other countries don't really get how we feel about guns either. I remember visiting my grandparents in my youth, and going into my grandfather's den, and feeling awed, impressed and jealous of the dozen or so long guns he had racked on the wall. When he passed on, 30+ years ago, one of the tasks for my mother and her siblings was to portion out the guns to whoever was going to feel bad if they didn't get one. I think he had maybe 3 dozen firearms, all told, so quite a few people in his family and his community probably still have one of those guns in their house. Sure, some have been sold or lost, but I'll bet a lot of people who got a rifle or shotgun from his collection will or did own them until they themselves die. There are millions of guns in this country whose owners could tell you their whole pedigree, from the day the gun was purchased, down through multiple generations of family ownership. I don't know if these musings clarify anything, but I wanted to point out that it's not just greed or fear that motivate people to own guns in this country, love and grief and a whole host of other emotions come into it too.
Best wishes Millie! Remember to verbalize your needs. Keep eating and drinking. (You will need the energy.) Also, don't be embarassed about 💩when you are pushing. We all do it, its normal. No one told me, so I thought I'd give ya a heads up. You got this! Much love from Minnesota 🫂💜
@@kristiericson1365 Not eating, is only a convience for the Doctors. SO glad times are changing. I went 52hrs L&D and was only allowed to eat ice chips.
I carry a firearm every day, every where. I have needed it 3 times in the 22 years I have been carrying. Only once did I need to draw it. Never had to fire. Just showing it stopped them.
I’m in Chicago and have a CCW license. I carry every day, everywhere. In the last year alone I had to have it at a low ready 5 times. Made them rethink their life choices and nobody got hurt. If I didn’t carry it would have been a totally different story.
Yes in Texas now you can pretty much carry a gun around open carry of concealed excepting in banks and places that sell alcohol. My wife never leaves home without her 9mm in her purse. HI Millie
It always amazes me at how scary Brits and Europeans think guns are. Are you really safer? Y'all get knife, truck, and acid attacks. Is that really better than so-called "gun violence"?
No one here really cares weather you have guns or not , yes we feel safer here without them but they are certainly not illegal here just heavily regulated.
If you guys are interested at all in how the guns function I would recommend Brandon Herrera here on YT. He does video showcases of guns, both historic and current, and breaks them down to their different pieces and explains how it all works. He also obviously demonstrates the guns as well.
Some of those guns awere definitely full auto. Collection wise I've seen even bigger though. My friends dad had over 1,200 guns. Many of them were duplicates. He also had probably a home full of just ammo for them. He was a doomsday prepper. He also had RPGs, explosives....etc. Guy was kinda nutty.
You dont need to get a license for most of the guns hes showing. Anyone can just get them even with his belt fed guns. You can get semi auto m249 or m240 although kind of rare they have semi auto versions of those guns. You would only need a license for full auto weapons.
One doesn't need a license to own a gun in the United States (with rare exceptions). Owning firearms is a "Right". A human right that is recognized by the 2nd Amendment. The 2nd Amendment is all that is required.
Ian McCullum at the Forgotten Weapons TH-cam channel makes great firearm content. It's very informative and in depth so probably not great for a reaction but still a good watch. Maybe his video on the radio life Gauss rifle would be worth checking out.
Went to a ramdom museum in Cody, Wyoming(?) Swear they had every gun of importance and type in all of history. Not only the walk through displays, but we asked to see the archives, and it took up the entire lower levels below ground.😮
Most people in the US do not need any license to buy any gun, you may only need to go through a quick background check and that's it. If a person wants to buy machine guns, automatic guns or open a profession gun store, he or she must obtain a FFL, which means Federal Firearms License.
Not quite. You do not need a FFL to own fully automatic weapons. You just need to buy a $200 tax stamp. And that is all it is a tax(remember the BATFE was originally set up to collect taxes and were part of the department of the treasury) Also black powder cannons are not considered firearms under federal law and can be bought or made by anybody
For clarification, for full autos aka machine guns, the ATF prohibits the possession or ownership of any machine guns made after May 1986. So they are incredibly rare and expensive, require extra federal forms/registration on top of the 4473/background check, and $200 tax stamp per weapon. But no specific license per se.

Fun fact, every time he said a weapon has a "binary trigger" means it fires when you pull the trigger back, and again when you release it forward. He clearly has his licenses and fees in order. He's got several military weapons that dont come any other way but fully automatic.
Long line of career military men and women in my family. It wasn’t until long after retirement that they started owning guns of their own for personal and home protection. When I was in high school back in he 80’s, ROTC was an elective class offered, which is where I learned to shoot a ‘dummy’ pistol and rifle on a training course. I’ve never owned a gun nor do I want to but I know How to properly use it, if it ever becomes necessary to defend my life, kids and home. I know that I have the right to have one, and that right can not be infringed upon by the government, unless I break the law with it. Every weapon can be used for nefarious reasons but the majority of gun owners will only use them against another humans when absolutely necessary; the world will always need more good guys with guns to stop the bad guys with guns.
I used to work at a place where everyone in the company was strapped and brought them to work. My nephew probably has as many as one of his rooms. Some people are nuts about guns. They don't really excite me. But do your thing.
Everyone at our accountants office brings in guns all the time. They are just sitting around on peoples desks and we show off new stuff to each other all the time. One guy even sells, buys, and trades stuff from people on arms list all the time in his office haha. Sometimes go to lunch at the outdoor range nearby and fuck around.
James and Millie, As per the national firearms act of the 1930s to get any full auto, selective fire, silencers, destructive devices like artillery and bazookas you need to pay $250 each for every firearm or destructive devices, and a background check, and waiting period to get them. Contray to what some say you can't buy these things at a place like Walmart for hundreds of dollars.
I don’t own many but I’d like to buy some more for sure. Firearms are to be respected always and we responsible citizens do not take that lightly. Of course it’s an American way of living though many choose not to use their second amendment right . Great reaction and by the way, most of us watching this I’m fairly sure wish we could own even a quarter of what he displayed.
3:30 many 'gun people' in The States and abroad, enjoy collecting them. Not for clout, although those people are out there. We enjoy collecting the history, the unique, and obscure, just like those who collect cars, cards, or insects for example. I love his military room most of all, and his dedication to that part of his collection. I would recommend Demolition Ranch, and Brandon Herrera, they are both big in the gun community. This guy represents about 0.01% of gun people.
In my state of Georgia open carry and concealed carry are both legal. Most everyone we know carries a firearm at all times including me and my wife. Despite this, our rural community is very safe and the crime rate is low.
It cracks me up to see you two get so squirrely seeing all these guns. They are no different than a collection of power tools they have no power other than the use put to them by the carrier. When respected and used properly for their intended purpose like any other tool they have an effectiveness if not used properly again like any other tool it can and will have negative ramifications.
I own exactly two, a 9mm Sig for home defense (never leaves the house), and a 1943 dated Soviet Mosin Nagant battle rifle (historical, they made millions but it was during the height of the war)
Actually some of the most expensive guns are antiques, such as civil war era guns, and old west firearms, yes class 3 firearms (AUTOMATIC) are expensive, but some of the firearms made in the 1850's and 1860's were so well made, and command some of the highest prices at sale.
You said there's nothing you can do about his collection. There's nothing anybody can do about it, including the government. The 2nd Amendment to the U.S. Constitution allows,, gun ownership. It says "the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed." No one can confiscate or prohibit a law abiding American from gun ownership, though many on the left wish otherwise. Freedom is disturbing to those who want freedom reserved for themselves and not for those who have differing views.
With the belt feds, there are much-easier to obtain semi-auto civillian versions for some models. He is likely wealthy enough to afford not just the cost of a pre-86 (look up the Hughes amendment) automatic belt fed (usually upwards of $50,000) but also the time and paperwork required to obtain a legal machine gun.
It’s funny you say “you don’t see people walking around with guns in the US” you do you just don’t know it. Especially in the south, we keep it tucked and out of sight. My grandmother always kept a .38 in her purse and she died in 2000. It’s keys, wallet, phone , gun when we leave the house and I live in a small safe town.
For the record, Mister and Mistress B, very, very, very few people call a thousand yard shot "mid-range"!!!! He has some military-grade firearns. Correction. He has A LOT of military-grade fire irons!
Millie: "I'd be so nervous, thinking they'd go off on me." See, that's the thing. Guns are NOT sentient things. The do not act on their own. They are simply specialized tools. Are you equally nervous are a hammer, or a drill? Those workshop tools require someone to use them. Of course, using them requires some skill and care. Their use CAN be dangerous. But with care, training, and respect, guns can be used safely... just like that power drill.
The M249 Squad Automatic Weapon, or SAW, is my favorite automatic rifle. I was the SAW gunner in 2 different platoons while I was in the Army. It is a belt-fed, automatic machine gun that has a rate of fire of 850 rounds per second. It is meant to be used for suppressive fire, i.e. keeping the enemy's head down, while other soldiers maneuver to take out the target.
My stepdaughter was in the 101st Airborne for quite a long time. She qualified expert with her M9, M4, and the SAW as well. My sone was in the Marines, now works for DoD as a paramedic/fireman. He fell into being a sniper at some point, though not officially until joining the National Guard afterwards. One of his issue rifles was a Barrett in both services. Thanks for your service too.
I looked it up and he does have a video of a walk-through of his house. Apparently, he only showed a small part of his collection. He has gun cabinets and gun safes all over his 14,000 sq. ft. mansion. Great video and thanks for doing it.
Anyone here in USA that has a collection half that size has an FFL, Federal firearms license. He can deal guns and own Full Auto, which without a License until the Full Auto ban National Firearm Act "NFA" of 1986 everyone could own Full auto "machine guns" now no one can except with said licence, FFL. But CONSTITUTIONALLY Speaking, we SHOULD ALL be able to own Full auto, it would have Absolutely no baring on crime because bad guys who would use it will have it and likely not use it anyway, WASTES AMMO. Repeal the NFA.
Fun fact, take the top 5 cities in the US for gun violence (almost all of which is gang related) off the list and the US goes from almost the highest rate of gun deaths to the lowest 10. We have gang problems, not gun problems. The VAST number of legal gun owners are just normal folks with hobbies and a desire to be self sufficient in their personal and family defense.
Also remember in alot of states you are legally allowed to shoot intruders/ trespassers on your property. Self defence and defence against a courupt government are the reasons many US citizens have loads of guns. Also in alot of states you can legally carry a gun in public usually hidden on your chest or leg sometimes hip.
Not to forget about them coyotes and bears who like to wonder in to your property, I think people forget how dangerous the USA nature can be, them mountain lions are terrifying also 😂
I own several guns myself. Only bought two of them. The rest I inherited from my dad. He and I used to hunt and target shoot regularly. Don’t do either now since suffering a stroke a few weeks ago.
I believe that many of us would just like to educate others about guns and our rights. There is a great deal of information that people are unaware of or do not comprehend about how they function. With so much misinformation and disinformation, some Americans are not aware of the facts. We aim to clarify and enlighten people about the correct aspects to help them better understand us.
You might want to rethink your stance on whether or not this could affect you in the UK. The US is the last bastion of freedom in the world. If it goes socialist like some would like to see here in the US that will affect life in the UK. You're perfectly in your rights to ignore it but it will affect you like it or not.
If you have certain licenses you can have fully automatics and explosive such as the projectiles for RPGs because the tube is actually rather easy to come by
I have about35000.00 Worth in my gun safes. Of course that includes all the accessories. My collection is kinda of small compared to others I know. Lifetime of collecting about 50 years. Black powder, wwl, era, wwll and modern guns also, plus3 , cannons small ones of course. But
In response to Millie's "I like Hand bags" comment... My wife and I have an agreement... for every $$$ she spends on her handbags... (Usually Louis Viton) I get to spend on my guns... LOL

Where I'm from you see people carrying guns on their hip all the time, that doesn't even include Concealed carry needless to say you're kinda always protected in small towns, at least where I'm from
I think it's really difficult for most of us who grew up in the US to completely understand the emotional reaction people from some other countries have to US gun culture. But equally, it seems like people from most other countries don't really get how we feel about guns either. I remember visiting my grandparents in my youth, and going into my grandfather's den, and feeling awed, impressed and jealous of the dozen or so long guns he had racked on the wall. When he passed on, 30+ years ago, one of the tasks for my mother and her siblings was to portion out the guns to whoever was going to feel bad if they didn't get one. I think he had maybe 3 dozen firearms, all told, so quite a few people in his family and his community probably still have one of those guns in their house. Sure, some have been sold or lost, but I'll bet a lot of people who got a rifle or shotgun from his collection will or did own them until they themselves die. There are millions of guns in this country whose owners could tell you their whole pedigree, from the day the gun was purchased, down through multiple generations of family ownership.
I don't know if these musings clarify anything, but I wanted to point out that it's not just greed or fear that motivate people to own guns in this country, love and grief and a whole host of other emotions come into it too.
Best wishes Millie! Remember to verbalize your needs. Keep eating and drinking. (You will need the energy.) Also, don't be embarassed about 💩when you are pushing. We all do it, its normal. No one told me, so I thought I'd give ya a heads up.
You got this!
Much love from Minnesota 🫂💜
Not everyone does that. I’ve had seven kids and never done that. But, we aren’t allowed to eat or drink during labor.
To be honest, when my water broke, I gave myself an enema. Just a crazy nurse.
@@kristiericson1365 Not eating, is only a convience for the Doctors. SO glad times are changing. I went 52hrs L&D and was only allowed to eat ice chips.
I carry a firearm every day, every where.
I have needed it 3 times in the 22 years I have been carrying.
Only once did I need to draw it.
Never had to fire. Just showing it stopped them.
I with you there . . .
I’m in Chicago and have a CCW license. I carry every day, everywhere.
In the last year alone I had to have it at a low ready 5 times.
Made them rethink their life choices and nobody got hurt.
If I didn’t carry it would have been a totally different story.
3 times in 18 years continuously, same thing, just had it in my hand or visible in the holster the third time.
@tonkatruck677 I was in the west end of Louisville for 20 years. Often, a higher murder rate than Chicago.
No longer live there but still carry.
Yes in Texas now you can pretty much carry a gun around open carry of concealed excepting in banks and places that sell alcohol. My wife never leaves home without her 9mm in her purse. HI Millie
I live in South Florida, have 57 firearms, everyone down here carrys a pistol, just concealed carry so no one knows you have it
An armed society is a polite society.
LOL.
Facts
It always amazes me at how scary Brits and Europeans think guns are. Are you really safer? Y'all get knife, truck, and acid attacks. Is that really better than so-called "gun violence"?
No one here really cares weather you have guns or not , yes we feel safer here without them but they are certainly not illegal here just heavily regulated.
Never forget the assault milkshake.
Concrete or lactose variety?@@octaviusmorlock

@@m2hmghb I don't think I want to know what a concrete milkshake is.
If you guys are interested at all in how the guns function I would recommend Brandon Herrera here on YT. He does video showcases of guns, both historic and current, and breaks them down to their different pieces and explains how it all works. He also obviously demonstrates the guns as well.
or Ian McCullum over at Forgotten Weapons.
Aka Gun Jesus
Some of those guns awere definitely full auto. Collection wise I've seen even bigger though. My friends dad had over 1,200 guns. Many of them were duplicates. He also had probably a home full of just ammo for them. He was a doomsday prepper. He also had RPGs, explosives....etc. Guy was kinda nutty.
You dont need to get a license for most of the guns hes showing. Anyone can just get them even with his belt fed guns. You can get semi auto m249 or m240 although kind of rare they have semi auto versions of those guns. You would only need a license for full auto weapons.
One doesn't need a license to own a gun in the United States (with rare exceptions).
Owning firearms is a "Right". A human right that is recognized by the 2nd Amendment.
The 2nd Amendment is all that is required.
Ian McCullum at the Forgotten Weapons TH-cam channel makes great firearm content. It's very informative and in depth so probably not great for a reaction but still a good watch. Maybe his video on the radio life Gauss rifle would be worth checking out.
I always have a gun on me, and you’d never know. Better to have it and not need it than, need it and not have it.
Went to a ramdom museum in Cody, Wyoming(?) Swear they had every gun of importance and type in all of history. Not only the walk through displays, but we asked to see the archives, and it took up the entire lower levels below ground.😮
That wouldn’t be the Cody Firearm Museum?
Gun Jesus has filmed a number episodes there
I went through there with friends on a motorcycle trip and we wanted to stop but didn't have enough time.
This is a man you don't have to worry about. The people will gun vaults like this aren't the ones shooting up Chicago every day.
Most people in the US do not need any license to buy any gun, you may only need to go through a quick background check and that's it. If a person wants to buy machine guns, automatic guns or open a profession gun store, he or she must obtain a FFL, which means Federal Firearms License.
Not quite.
You do not need a FFL to own fully automatic weapons. You just need to buy a $200 tax stamp. And that is all it is a tax(remember the BATFE was originally set up to collect taxes and were part of the department of the treasury)
Also black powder cannons are not considered firearms under federal law and can be bought or made by anybody
For clarification, for full autos aka machine guns, the ATF prohibits the possession or ownership of any machine guns made after May 1986. So they are incredibly rare and expensive, require extra federal forms/registration on top of the 4473/background check, and $200 tax stamp per weapon. But no specific license per se. However to get any made after 1986, you must get a Federal Firearms License (FFL) and a Class 3 Dealer license, and if you want to manufacture it yourself, that's another license. Which is all quite an involved process to say the least.
Fun fact, every time he said a weapon has a "binary trigger" means it fires when you pull the trigger back, and again when you release it forward.
He clearly has his licenses and fees in order. He's got several military weapons that dont come any other way but fully automatic.
Awesome reaction! He does have a video on the John Wick safe. It is quite impressive
Oh Millie, they have nice purses for conceal carry guns. Special pocket compartment in the purse and a lock. So it’s safe from kids and so on
Yep, got one for my ex-wife. She got me a Kimber .45 so I couldn't complain.
Long line of career military men and women in my family.
It wasn’t until long after retirement that they started owning guns of their own for personal and home protection.
When I was in high school back in he 80’s, ROTC was an elective class offered, which is where I learned to shoot a ‘dummy’ pistol and rifle on a training course.
I’ve never owned a gun nor do I want to but I know How to properly use it, if it ever becomes necessary to defend my life, kids and home.
I know that I have the right to have one, and that right can not be infringed upon by the government, unless I break the law with it.
Every weapon can be used for nefarious reasons but the majority of gun owners will only use them against another humans when absolutely necessary; the world will always need more good guys with guns to stop the bad guys with guns.
I used to work at a place where everyone in the company was strapped and brought them to work. My nephew probably has as many as one of his rooms. Some people are nuts about guns. They don't really excite me. But do your thing.
Everyone at our accountants office brings in guns all the time.
They are just sitting around on peoples desks and we show off new stuff to each other all the time. One guy even sells, buys, and trades stuff from people on arms list all the time in his office haha.
Sometimes go to lunch at the outdoor range nearby and fuck around.
James and Millie,
As per the national firearms act of the 1930s to get any full auto, selective fire, silencers, destructive devices like artillery and bazookas you need to pay $250 each for every firearm or destructive devices, and a background check, and waiting period to get them. Contray to what some say you can't buy these things at a place like Walmart for hundreds of dollars.
$200.00
I see a lot of people walking around wearing guns here in the U.S. I know that i do not leave the house without one of my firearms on my hip.
the fact his range is rated for 20mm shot is amasing thats what they shoot at aircraft
I don’t own many but I’d like to buy some more for sure. Firearms are to be respected always and we responsible citizens do not take that lightly.
Of course it’s an American way of living though many choose not to use their second amendment right .
Great reaction and by the way, most of us watching this I’m fairly sure wish we could own even a quarter of what he displayed.
3:30 many 'gun people' in The States and abroad, enjoy collecting them. Not for clout, although those people are out there. We enjoy collecting the history, the unique, and obscure, just like those who collect cars, cards, or insects for example. I love his military room most of all, and his dedication to that part of his collection. I would recommend Demolition Ranch, and Brandon Herrera, they are both big in the gun community. This guy represents about 0.01% of gun people.
And Gun Jesus himself Ian
In my state of Georgia open carry and concealed carry are both legal. Most everyone we know carries a firearm at all times including me and my wife. Despite this, our rural community is very safe and the crime rate is low.
Wealthy collector for sure. Some nice stuff there. Most of us regular guys have maybe a dozen firearms. 😁
It cracks me up to see you two get so squirrely seeing all these guns. They are no different than a collection of power tools they have no power other than the use put to them by the carrier. When respected and used properly for their intended purpose like any other tool they have an effectiveness if not used properly again like any other tool it can and will have negative ramifications.
Guns are cool. Too bad you guys are so limited in the ability to own them.
I own exactly two, a 9mm Sig for home defense (never leaves the house), and a 1943 dated Soviet Mosin Nagant battle rifle (historical, they made millions but it was during the height of the war)
Actually some of the most expensive guns are antiques, such as civil war era guns, and old west firearms, yes class 3 firearms (AUTOMATIC) are expensive, but some of the firearms made in the 1850's and 1860's were so well made, and command some of the highest prices at sale.
Guns are harmless without bullets. Notice how he didn't talk about where he hides the ammo.
You said there's nothing you can do about his collection. There's nothing anybody can do about it, including the government. The 2nd Amendment to the U.S. Constitution allows,, gun ownership. It says "the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed." No one can confiscate or prohibit a law abiding American from gun ownership, though many on the left wish otherwise. Freedom is disturbing to those who want freedom reserved for themselves and not for those who have differing views.
With the belt feds, there are much-easier to obtain semi-auto civillian versions for some models. He is likely wealthy enough to afford not just the cost of a pre-86 (look up the Hughes amendment) automatic belt fed (usually upwards of $50,000) but also the time and paperwork required to obtain a legal machine gun.
It’s funny you say “you don’t see people walking around with guns in the US” you do you just don’t know it. Especially in the south, we keep it tucked and out of sight. My grandmother always kept a .38 in her purse and she died in 2000. It’s keys, wallet, phone , gun when we leave the house and I live in a small safe town.
Having an informed opinion on a subject is always welcome
You gotta come visit Miami area. I'll show y'all around. Amazing cuban and Haitian food and culture. It's fantastic.
Im in Alabama. Almost everyone conceal or open carries. That or they keep one in their vehicle. We are a Constitutional carry state.
Another amazing gun collection is demolition ranch
Another range is located east of Colorado Springs, called Dragon Man owned by a guy named Mel.
He went into the second room and Millie’s Jaw hit the table… lol
5:03 it is a long expensive process but yes you can get automatics, the US Military still uses the M240 and the M249 SAW
I wouldn't be surprised if it was John Wick himself in that safe 😂😂
No license required... this is Merica!
For the record, Mister and Mistress B, very, very, very few people call a thousand yard shot "mid-range"!!!!
He has some military-grade firearns.
Correction. He has A LOT of military-grade fire irons!
Millie: "I'd be so nervous, thinking they'd go off on me."
See, that's the thing. Guns are NOT sentient things. The do not act on their own. They are simply specialized tools. Are you equally nervous are a hammer, or a drill? Those workshop tools require someone to use them.
Of course, using them requires some skill and care. Their use CAN be dangerous. But with care, training, and respect, guns can be used safely... just like that power drill.
It is unlikely he has them loaded while he's storing them.
The M249 Squad Automatic Weapon, or SAW, is my favorite automatic rifle. I was the SAW gunner in 2 different platoons while I was in the Army. It is a belt-fed, automatic machine gun that has a rate of fire of 850 rounds per second. It is meant to be used for suppressive fire, i.e. keeping the enemy's head down, while other soldiers maneuver to take out the target.
My stepdaughter was in the 101st Airborne for quite a long time. She qualified expert with her M9, M4, and the SAW as well. My sone was in the Marines, now works for DoD as a paramedic/fireman. He fell into being a sniper at some point, though not officially until joining the National Guard afterwards. One of his issue rifles was a Barrett in both services. Thanks for your service too.
I looked it up and he does have a video of a walk-through of his house. Apparently, he only showed a small part of his collection. He has gun cabinets and gun safes all over his 14,000 sq. ft. mansion. Great video and thanks for doing it.
Anyone here in USA that has a collection half that size has an FFL, Federal firearms license. He can deal guns and own Full Auto, which without a License until the Full Auto ban National Firearm Act "NFA" of 1986 everyone could own Full auto "machine guns" now no one can except with said licence, FFL. But
CONSTITUTIONALLY Speaking, we SHOULD ALL be able to own Full auto, it would have Absolutely no baring on crime because bad guys who would use it will have it and likely not use it anyway, WASTES AMMO. Repeal the NFA.
God bless the USA 🇺🇸 2A 🔫 community knows how to have fun
I’m just a lottery ticket away
Just imagine owning 1 pistol worth a million. A jesse james colt .45 revolver. Or his last owned gun, a .45 schofield revolver
Every time i go out i see open carry
Fun fact, take the top 5 cities in the US for gun violence (almost all of which is gang related) off the list and the US goes from almost the highest rate of gun deaths to the lowest 10. We have gang problems, not gun problems.
The VAST number of legal gun owners are just normal folks with hobbies and a desire to be self sufficient in their personal and family defense.
Also remember in alot of states you are legally allowed to shoot intruders/ trespassers on your property. Self defence and defence against a courupt government are the reasons many US citizens have loads of guns. Also in alot of states you can legally carry a gun in public usually hidden on your chest or leg sometimes hip.
Not to forget about them coyotes and bears who like to wonder in to your property, I think people forget how dangerous the USA nature can be, them mountain lions are terrifying also 😂
*Colion Noir is a great channel to learn about them and answers alot of your questions!!!!!!
Watch brandon Herrera
The guys got thing on the Dragon man. He can supply a small army literally with tanks bazooka artillery machine guns
I own several guns myself. Only bought two of them. The rest I inherited from my dad. He and I used to hunt and target shoot regularly. Don’t do either now since suffering a stroke a few weeks ago.
I believe that many of us would just like to educate others about guns and our rights. There is a great deal of information that people are unaware of or do not comprehend about how they function. With so much misinformation and disinformation, some Americans are not aware of the facts. We aim to clarify and enlighten people about the correct aspects to help them better understand us.
You might want to rethink your stance on whether or not this could affect you in the UK.
The US is the last bastion of freedom in the world. If it goes socialist like some would like to see here in the US that will affect life in the UK.
You're perfectly in your rights to ignore it but it will affect you like it or not.
some women collect bags and shoes, some guys collect cars or sneakers other people collect guns, if you have the money and the space, why not
Fun fact. 3% of Americans own half the civilian guns in America, which accounts for roughly 20% of all guns in the world, both civilian and military.
I bet he shoots most of the guns from his history collection. I have shot plenty of guns from both world wars.
Everyone I know that has a gun, has multiple.
Most of us just shoot paper targets as a precision sport and for the fun of it.
You should check out Kentucky ballistics some of his big guns
It sounds like he has a good investment also. Guns usually go up in value if they are quality arms.
If you have certain licenses you can have fully automatics and explosive such as the projectiles for RPGs because the tube is actually rather easy to come by
The bayonet/knife that he showed was three sided. Banned by the Geneva Convention because the wound does not close.
I have about35000.00
Worth in my gun safes.
Of course that includes all the accessories.
My collection is kinda of small compared to others I know.
Lifetime of collecting about
50 years.
Black powder, wwl, era, wwll and modern guns also, plus3 , cannons small ones of course. But
You dont see people carry in America because we usually are conceal carring. 😂
She'd be afraid in the room because they might go off and start shooting her by themselves out of the blue 😂
Saying you think the gun is going to go off around you is like thinking the kitchen knife on the table is just going to stab you out of nowhere.
In response to Millie's "I like Hand bags" comment... My wife and I have an agreement... for every $$$ she spends on her handbags... (Usually Louis Viton) I get to spend on my guns... LOL
😂 Given how much those LV bags cost, you’ve probably got a great gun collection. 👍🏻❤️
I can neither confirm nor deny that statement... @@TheCJTok
Lmao he just walked right by the grenade launcher without showing it lol
It scares me so many countries dont have gun rights. The government is there to serve the citizens not own them.
Exactly.
Gun rights=citizens
No gun rights=subjects
I would want to be with him or the others I mentioned before in an apocalypse 😂
There is a guy in Texas with his own tank. Don't mess with Texas!
You can have AR 15 in your country and handguns, but they must be in 22 caliber
Should watch demolition ranch collection
