Comments by "Luredreier" (@Luredreier) on "There are NO Guns in China!" video.

A nation can have plenty of weapons without (outdated) ideas like weapon ownership being a "right" in the first place... Is murder a right? Americans keep killing people who have killed one of their neighbors or a member of their families, still they insist on those killers having a "right" to own weapons up to the point when the murder takes place. Weapons might not kill people, but it sure as hell makes doing so a lot easier. And there's other nations out there with a ton of privately owned weapons, like Norway, Finland, Canada, Cyprus, France and even Switzerland that still have what I for one would consider a healthier attitude towards firearms then the US. (Even if the Switz gun laws and attitude to guns are pretty crazy by European standards) If you want to lower the number of people killed by guns in the US each year I suggest that you stop treating the ownership of weapons as a right, and make it a common privilege instead.

+Ove Toranger Non of those wars where lost due to the weapons on either side. If you want a real case of a war successfully fought with inferior arms where it wasn't the psychology of the civilians on the other side that mattered then look to the winter war in Finland. In a modern war the "civilian" weapons in the US wouldn't do squad that couldn't be done just as effectively without weapons. And quite frankly, the US army is better trained then the soviet one was during the winter war...

You claim that this is not a political channel, well, you made political statements in this video even if you might not have tried to do so. The idea that the American gun culture is "healthy" is political. (Heck, even talking about being "pleasantly surprised" by the ease that you could acquire the weapons and ammunition would probably ruffle some feathers, mine included) As for your personal experiences in this case... Let's just say that your comments in this video alone has already shown that you and others, myself included would probably evaluate many of those experiences very differently... Anyway, enough about that, politics aside I'm glad that the two of you had a good experience in general with those weapons. And yes, like others, I'm impressed by how well she handled the recoil, not to mention her aim. Hitting spot on with the first shot was amazing.
