The population of the US is approximately 330 million. Approximately 1 in 3 of us are gun owners. Collectively we own more guns than there are people. Estimates say we have a trillion rounds of ammunition. Even if 10% of gun owners fought against an invading force that would be 10 million with a nearly limitless supply of arms and ammunition.

Antimony is used to harden the lead in bullets especially ones that don't have a copper jacket. Military small arms ammunition like the 5.56x45 mm M855 "green tip" is a hardened steel penetrator core surrounded by soft lead (pure lead) swaged into a copper jacket. Since it's a full jacketed round, antimony isn't needed to mix with the lead to harden it. There is a replacement for the M855 that is just copper with the hardened steel penetrator inside and dose away with lead completely, but I don't know if it has been fully adopted as the Lake City, Missouri plant still makes literally tons of M855 rounds every day. The biggest use for antimony is in electronics. Also, the lead mines that closed was due to overseas competition and not because they are out of lead ore, so they can be reopened and retooled in the event of conflict. Fun fact:. My grandmother worked at the Des Moines Ordnance Plant during WWII making .50 caliber machine gun ammunition.

The US actually has plenty of Antimony. It just doesn't have many mining operations dedicated to it. It's the same with some other critical metals, like Rare Earth Metals. The reason for not having domestic suppliers is simple economics, other countries can mine and process these things cheaper. The lack of secure supplies of critical resources is changing though. The US government has passed a couple of bills lately that give subsidies to a whole mess of industries to secure resources within the country: uranium, rare earths, lithium, cobalt, nickel, graphite, artificial intelligence, 5G telecommunications technology, semiconductors, biotech, green energy and quantum computing. There's also been a lot of activity lately shoring up trade agreements with friendly countries. Ultimately, the US would like to decrease dependance on Russia and China for anything important. I wish I could tell you New Zealand would benefit from some of these changes but we're pretty good on sheep here in the US. 😉

It’s really true. We are a very well armed civilian population. I’m a 51 year old lady in a wheelchair and even I carry a gun. It’s not for offense it’s for defense. If a threat of war broke out, you will see almost the entire civilian population buying guns. And mind you, some families have a gun room with maybe 20 or 30 rifles, shotguns and pistols ready to use. Rural families use weapons for hunting and defense against larger apex predators (grizzly bears, wolves). I grew up in Wyoming and learned responsible gun ownership. Please don’t be afraid when you visit us. We treasure our 2nd amendment right to bare arms….against any threat foreign and domestic. We aren’t gun nuts.

In the 1970's It was estimated the US had a 900 year reserve of coal, we are the Saudi Arabia of coal. Most of our electricy used to be generated by coal, but now more plants are converting to natural gas. Now instead of burning coal the idea is to come up with a cheap and safe method to convert coal into oil or propane or natural gas.

Add on top of that, the fact that many of us Americans believe in maintaining a year's supply of food storage in our homes so if we need it we have it. We treat our pantries like mini grocery stores and rotate the food buying fresh while it is in season and preserving it ourselves. Some buy whole cows, hogs and hunt for deer as well as fish to keep freezers full of meat. We are trained to do that from generations back.

Well somehow it lead me to California and I saw this patch of what seemed to be brown light brown dirt patch that was huge the size of a city. So I zoomed, zoomed, and more zooming until I could see what was there. It wasn't empty land. It was a military storage base. Hundreds of miles of bunkers, vehicles, helicopters, and tanks. The compound was soooo huge!!!! The bunkers were all underground you could tell where the ground lumped up and a door was at the end of each of these giant mounds. In Arizona they have an airport air force base fulllll of unused military planes, people think it's a graveyard but it not! They're all just waiting. The windows, cracks, ports, storage their all wrapped up to prevent damage, dirt, rot, bug, and vandalism. As far as the eye can see is huge massive military planes and jets just waiting. And those are just two states and two small areas in these large states. Imagine if you put all fifty states together, every military base! Not only that but the citizens are armed, the citizens live in a very developed country. Want to attack us by water to land, better prepared to take on all of our citizens with boats and weapons. Better attack us from the soft cry babies of California if you attack from the south you have all the swamps and country land you have to fight to get through if you attack from the east you have the most patriotic but angry citizens in the country who take no bull. If you come from the north you freeze to death. If you attack from the west you have to get through California which is huge!!! And after that you have the wild west, gun toting, tobacco spitting, rattle snake wearing western men who live in the west because you have the right to protect you and your land. In the west you can buy tobacco, a gun, liquor, and your baby diapers all in one place don't fuck with the west. I do have to say the south beats the west. You have to make it past our hill people, our hillbillies, you also have to make it through the sovereign citizens who don't take part in our society's so they live off in the woods and they love to protect America against foreign Invaders. The south is also full of veterans who would once again give their life for the country. Many doomsday preps live in the south, also so does the kkk good luck with those areas. You'll also have to make it past out gator countries... Best thing about the south is... You can't trust the wilderness! The creatures will stalk you and eat you alive and no one will know you're missing. Let's also mention the cults that live all around America, and all the other compounds that believe if you put one step on their land they have the right to shoot you and no one will know because you're miles from a neighbor or any other help. Let me also mention the weather. American weather changes all over the country and it goes from one extreme to the next. Arizona is deadly hot in the day and deadly cold at night. Texas is right next to the ocean all that water means you die from the heat but humid heat. Out of the frying pan into the pot. America even has many many military bases that aren't needed right now... Just wait until we need them imagine how large our military will grow. Oh did I mention each state has their own military. National guard. Each state commands their own national guard so even if our main military branches are all busy we are still covered here on the main land at all times. No matter how many times people fight to disband the military it's only a couple steps to refill and reopen closed military bases. We are a massive force and that is why people fear us and other countries use us for protection like Puerto Rico and Guam. Countries like North Korea have no idea what we are capable of they underestimate us and over glorify their own people. I also need to mention the size of our military I don't mean numbers I mean literal size. Our people are freakishly tall and some freakishly muscular. I hope our country never has to go to war I hope our military saves us a seat so we don't have to attend war on our land. I'm very happy and proud of my countries military and the vets who served. God bless America.

Don't forget, the southern entrance has desert in Texas, New Mexico and Arizona. Migrants die in that desert all the time as no one knows they're there.

So glad you all are ok. Love your reactions.

I'm glad that you guys survived the storm.

I love seeing the amazement in your son to see maybe a quarter of the tanks we have and our supply. You guys are very lucky to have us as allies and we’re lucky to have y’all!

Happy You guys got thought the storm. Me and some co-workers of mine and my family were talking about this stuff the other day. I was in Desert Shield/Storm in 91. I remember the F-117 being used for the 1st time. That plane was developed in the 70's and was not used or shown tell the 90's I can only imagine what we have hidden tell its need now.

Happy Valentine's Day! Love this family! 💞❤️💕

From what I've read , I hope everyone is okay. Seems you are! That is a beautiful thing. Please stay safe. Love you, Bless yyou all.

Thats so cool you guys have santa cruz clothes there, i didn't know the brand was that big

Lol Denz😂 Glad y’all are safe!

Another deterrent is the fact that the citizens have more small arms than most militaries.

@@Totalremixes2 Actually, now that I think of it, I seem to recall reading that the average *gun owners* in the US has 6. So, if that number plays out, and my number is also correct, about 20-25% of people (legally) own guns, which sounds about right to me. For instance, anecdotally, my dad has 3, my step-mom has 1, and I have 0, so that's 4 between the 3 of us.

Keep up the good work buddies, I really enjoy your content and look forward to years more. God bless you and your family 🙏

One thing he gave very little time to, is the American citizen. In the farm land we own probably ly an average of 3 firearms per family, and most of us know how to use them being experienced hunters and outdoorsmen. If they get through all this video talks about they still have to contend with us. Look up the numbers you'll be shocked!

Not to mention our 2nd Ammendment....most of us have the ability to protect and defend ourselves, our families, and our country. We have guns....and we are serious about keeping them.

While WW2 WE had Manufactured well over 49000 Sherman Tanks built Chrysler (Chrysler car company, Kleenex made 50cal. ,Ford made airplane, my work At F&M Hat co. Made fillters)

Also, don't forget the SEAL saying , "Failure is not an option." Many Americans have this ingrained into our very being.

Also you people from other countries might not know that The US has its militarily armed services but states each individually have their own defense too. I’m in Michigan- we have the Michigan national guard, Michigan national air guard, etc But also Michigan militia w 9 district in our state. Plus several organization other militia like group too.

I love you guys! Am I the only one who waves and says hi when you guys say it lol?

Glad you are safe. My cousin from Michigan and her Kiwi husband Nick are in Taupo on holiday. Nick’s dad had his house washed away.

Haven't visited in a while. Big 👍 to you, and snd our nations enduring friendship.

Love your stuff. Keep it coming. Watching from Ontario Canada 🎉

I also heard goats 🤣 we ship lots of goods and some people may also be shipping goats. Have you decided on the part of the US you'd like to visit first? We've been having a very mild winter in MN but on the average year it gets way too cold for most people. Summer in the southern states can be unbearably hot for a lot of people. There's just so much to see and do, a lot of the national parks fill up quickly if you were thinking of camping. Usually you can still visit but you'll need a place to stay close by.

Over here it is Valentine's Day,so Have a Happy Valentine's Day! ❤️

They forgot to mention that most the highways, railways and rivers all run parallel to eachother so that if one is disabled troops and supplies can still move freely with one of the other two. And the highways can have the median dividers moved to block them if they need to or removed to use the road as landing strips for planes.

I am sure several has mentioned this, but I cannot how much mom and daughter look so much alike wow. As I watch your video's which I do enjoy very much I cannot help but almost stare at how much they look alike, uncanny.

Hope all is well by you all!! Hello from central Texas

So happy to see y'all I guess you came out of that Cyclone okay a lot of Americans were worried about your family... we take our protecting our country very seriously another great video👋🏻🙏🏻✌🏻🤠

Nice video! Awesome reactions!

I respect that the boy doesnt say anything😂 that kid been stoic for every video ive watched

Hope everyone is safe and secure with that storm.

Hello NZ family, I'm glad you survived the storm. Here in Florida, we are having a cool snap (50 degrees F, 10 C). Any damage? This teen loves America, our politicians I hate. Our politicians are morons (from the news I guess NZ has morons in office, too) because they are letting Chinese balloons fly across the country before it was shot down. I love your videos. Hope I'll see another new one later this week, when I'm at Daytona watching my favorite sport. Auto Racing...( You should do a video of craziest crashes in NASCAR.)

My numbers maybe be off a bit, but i believe that Eisenhower made it so that for every 5 miles of highway, at least 1 mile has to be straight, to be used in wartime as emergency landing/take off locations for aircraft.

As an American, I am thinking of your country struggling with floods and a 6.2 earthquake. I wish the best for the NZ family we love. The earthquake scale is logarithmic and each successive digit is 10x in magnitude. A 6.3 earthquake is therefore 100x the typical California earthquake.

Hi it's me kandi I'm in Texas and I just wanted you to know,yes crude oil is huge here,I live on 65 acres of land, they wanted to drill for oil on our land..just to put things into perspective (in the wet areas on land near the creek,the oil pool to the top of the water leaving a beautiful watery rainbow mix of colors on the surface.)

I work for a railroad that pulls train cars from the coal mines. At just one mine in sw Virginia, we pull 600 loaded cars a week. That's just one of 7 that we pull in our immediate area. That's not including dump trucks and tractor trailers that load all day, every day. There is coal just laying in our rain runoff ditches in east kentucky.

During WW2, there were 16 Million men and women in uniform at a time when out population was about 145 million.
