Just little more details (especially for Americans): after you obtain your firearms licence (FL) you can do whatewer you want inside limitations of your FL (there are five "groups": Collecting, Sport shooting, Hunting, Job, Self defence). Also law specifies several categories of firearms based on technical parameters (manual/semi/full auto; rimfire or centerfire cartridges etc.). But there are no restrictions based on attached accesories, barrel lengths and other stuff used by ATF to restrict certain firearms from public use. If you want AR-15 with 8 inch barrel, so be it, no need to call it "pistol" and attach some "brace suport" to go around some adhoc made restriction. There are practically no limitations on magazine capacity (despite best EU efforts), you can have 10,20,30,70... (you get my point), you can have belt feds with no problem (even in full auto if youre collector). Also, unlike most of Europe, there are practically no limitations on cold weapons, you can carry knifes of all designs, swords, even halberds if you like, you can have all self-defence tools like telescopic batons, pepper sprays, tasers...

Hello from Poland, where we don't have any ATF equivalent. No laws concerning barrel length, total length, length of pull, stocks on a pistol, foregrips on pistols, pistolgrips on shotguns, stock design, magazine capacity, third holes, attaching suppressors. We all laugh watching those insane blot action Glocks or finned griped AKs from shitholes like California, Massachusetts or New Jersey. We configure our guns the way you actually want them to be. P90 or MP5 over here will not have a fucking antenna sticking in the front. I know that the change is coming and the ATF and NFA may fall when finally challenged in SCOTUS, but as is, it's ridiculous.

@@darek4488 It dose depend on the state. From the video I take it there is a permitting process to be able to purchase and carry a firearm as well as registration, hence the comparison to some states like Massachusetts or New Jersey as you mentioned. In those states, you also have magazine limits, and feature limits as you've also stated. However in the free states, there is no licensing or registration requirements (for non NFA items). Most have constitutional carry as well. So the main drawback is the NFA items; suppressors, full auto / select fire (those transferable ones made before 1986) and short barrel rifles ( under 16" bbl) and shotguns (18"). As I understood the video it's possible to get modern full autos. That's the one main advantage, as it's not possible in any state without a special license reserved for those in the gun industry.

As an American, it should be also interesting to you that a number of "incidents" here is meagre. It is almost like guns can't hurt people by themselves and the right to keep and bear arms doesn't lead to tragic mass events. Who would've thought.

Czechia was one of the first lands where firearms spread on mass scale - Thanks to the Hussite wars, when they were crucial to defending religious freedoms and the fact that they were not regulated by craft guilds as e.g. swords, any smith could become a gun smith. In 1517 the st.Wnceslaus Agreement brought some reasonable gun-control (e.g. ban on shooting within city) but also brought the right of all including commoners to keep gun for defense. This right was more or less respected for next 4 centuries by various rulers of Bohemia - from Jagelonians to Czechoslovak government. The change came with nazi and communist occupation and their totalitarian regimes that imposed gun ban. The Czech word that is commonly used for guns is cognate with word for a defense - litelarly meaning "definsive tool". And defense was always viewed as sacred right of any living creature. I have to strongly react to 18:36 " Using guns ... can be considered barbaric". Its the exact opposite - Its the pinacle of civilization and humanity - humans are set above by their ability to invent, make and use tools, the higher the civilizations, the more effective tools it uses. Ad-hoc tools like sticks or stones are used by even some animals - apes, birds and sea otters. If you decide to go without a tool, you place yourself on the civilization ladder below an otter!

We too can EDC once issued a license (registration process for the gun, each and every one), we can carry pretty much anything but it must be concealed. Again, the same applies to CZ. We can own MSR's but have to belong to a sporting organisation before we can, but once vetted; it's a normal license application. In terms of popular handguns, again it seems we are very similar. We can however walk into a gunshop buy a suppressor and leave with it. In terms of popular handguns, it's Glock, CZ, S&W, Beretta, H&K, Colt, Ruger and others.

In Lithuania, you can own and carry weapons for self defense. Carry pistols, not sure about carrying other weapons, probably as you can own a shotgun for self defense. We are allowed to own rifles, AK or AR amongst other types, carbines(not fully automatic rifles though). To get a permit, one must pass psychiatric screening, past criminal record. There are rules on how you have to store the weapons and ammo at home, but if your past is clean and state of mind stable, it is very much so possible to get yourself a rifle like an AR or something similar, and the range of firearms that one can obtain is quite wide. Nowadays, a considerable part of population is armed.

In fact there are some limitations on carrying guns but they are few of them like ban in the high value government buildings (parliament, senate or president´s residency...) or courthouses and airports. But they are mostly obligged to have licensed safe where you can hand in your weapon and after leaving they give it back. And if there are any "magical labels" banning handguns on other places, they are not usually supported by law (shopping malls, cinemas etc.) and can be ignored. On certain events police can limit carrying weapons but it is rare and hardly applicable. If a gunowner caries responsibly concealed everything is fine.

Really the only license we need (in most states) is getting a "concealed carry" witch in my state is really easy to get. We discuss a FL here but I am not really for it as I feel it would restrict our 2nd Amendment right.

I did it long time ago and it wasnt a big deal... easier than a driving school...

Actually there are not so many restrictions. Only thing you need for request for licence is proper age (with exeptions for people in professional sport shooting, students of certain schools - forestry, gunsmithing and few others), clean crime record (more severe crime = longer you cant ask for licence) and good mental health (you cannot overuse drugs or alcohol and cant have several mental issues like schizophrenia). So basically it excludes people who are "professional criminals", are drunk or high all day long or thinks their neighbours are aliens who want to dissect them in their sleep... So if you fall into majority of "normal" people, you wouldnt have any issues in asking for licence. Also, for actually obtaining it, you need to pass two stage test - teoretical part (30 questions out of pool of 500 more or less, each of them have point value, youre succesfull if you reach certain point score) and practical part (you shows that youre able to manipulate in safe manner, so you dont accidentally shoot yourself or someone else) and youre able to hit target (like 4 out of five shots into target 10m away from pistol). Not difficult, but it easily sifts out idiots, lazy assholes and other people you dont wanna met carrying gun around (because theyre dangerous even without it). After you get your licence, youre free to do whatever you want (and have money for). Only thin ice are full auto guns, thery are more complicated to legally obtain (more involvement of police), but even those are possible. For US citizen, this can look restrictive, but real freedom begins after you got your licence, because there are no restrictions on lenghts, accesorries and similar stuff that makes ATF autistically screech (you want AR-15 with 4 inch barrell? no problem and no need for crazy brackets)...

And we have a list of crimes and conditions (felonies, domestic violence, mental health issues, drug use) which disqualify anyone affected from buying a gun. And for concealed carry, there is typically some testing done to make sure the applicant understands how to use a gun, how to store and handle it safely, what the laws are surrounding legal self defense, and depending on the state there can be marksmanship testing as well. Our ATF stuff can look restrictive (and in terms of time and money it is for some people) but with enough money and tolerance for paperwork, Americans can own almost anything. Machine guns, no problem. Armored vehicles, all good. Explosives, you'll have to be friends with your local sheriff but that just takes more money really. Cannons, field guns, all with solid legality.

This video honestly made me kinda emotional towards the end. In America we are waging a legal and political battle for the right to self defense, we have politicians who actively undermine our attempts to make schools safer without resorting to gun bans and we have a large portion of the public that lacks any education on firearms or civics in general.

Excellent Video! The way you showed different perspectives for the reason of firearms ownership was great. I’d love to see a feature length film that goes into more detail, like collectors and maybe even CZ firearms manufacturing.

Excellent video, well articulated. Self defense is a human right.

Living in a country like Germany, imo the main problem of the public is the traditionally very high trust in the authorities. This has some upsides , for example most people are law abiding almost to the letter. But then , most people never having experienced dangerous situations themselves, instinctively rely on the state to protect them. But most of us who have ever actually been in a bad situation - threatened with a knife or a gun - know that this is NOT enough. All the police can do in such situations if they go sideways is to arrest the criminal , if they even catch him. For the victim of the crime this will of course come to late. Like the man in the video said: We (the police) are not superman, and most of the time they will only arrive after the incident. Unfortunately in Germany, every time something bad happens, the police are and politicians cry for even more police. So we have policemen running around everywhere, but still- of course if something happens they are still not present (it’s impossible). So unfortunately most people here (as in other countries of EU) are living in this illusion of safety, to scared or unwilling to think the matter through. I would applaud a possession of small firearms (handguns) who are to be kept in safe places in the house or in the car. Not sure how I feel about people carrying around handguns. I suppose there’s good arguments for this too. But I would be for allowing them in personal property first, then see how that goes, the extend it to other situations and places.

I Love you guys there, I have worked with the folks from your country time and time again and I am always looking forward to going there.

Americans tend to lump EU countries together as if we are one culture. We are not. There is a very significant cultural divide between the Eastern and the Western parts of the EU. The West is cucked.

We dont play that shit in Bohemia. We dont hate ourselves for being white and we dont think we owe anyone anything just for existing. We dont constantly put everyone elses interests above our own just so we dont get called "racist" or something. We still have free speech. We dont worship the religion of social "justice". Thats why it pisses me off so much when Americans talk about how bad it is in Europe as if its one country. Most of the time, those Americans are actually still more leftist than we are in the East. We had communism and we remember it. The West is arrogant. They think they can "do it right". They need to experience it before they understand how bad it is.

To get semi auto and hand guns there are a few more hoops but it isn't difficult. However pump action shotguns are totally banned, semi autos totally legal, semi auto 50 cals, totally legal.
