Fully Automatic America

Great, very impartial and very informative.

my comment was deleted...hmn not by me

this show is amazing!!!

being a registered gun owner from new jersey i can definatly see the importance of every point of view in this... illegal guns make it hard for me to function....

Get one while you can; we just elected a Socialist...

btw did you see that sporterized Steyer AUG (at 1:00)... WOW

wow didn't know this kind of stuff ways going on

What an excellent documentary.

I believe that the gun dealer is telling the truth. Who buys a handgun for $850+ then waits for 2weeks on a background check etc. Then goes to a street corner and sells it for 20-100$? Nobody.. The guns are results of home invasions\ robberies\ drug trade.

Here in west Nashville about a year ago a group of guys ran a truck threw a local gun shop front window and stole most of the weapons. They have not been apprehended and I'm willing to bet most of the guns stole are on the streets sold for profit since the robbers didn't pay 1k a pop for them. The gun store closed not long after so now honest people buying the guns will have to go further to attain home security weapon which results more armed thuglets and less armed average people.

People who steal weapons A: probably don't have money to afford and that is why it will be used to steal someone elses money. B: have a reason why not to buy legit , criminal history of gun violence, or don't want a paper trail connecting them to the gun because of obvious reasons of future use in illegal way.

Gun control should be in the terms of if your caught with a weapon not registered to you should be a very serious offense . Maybe even as bad as say 20 year mandatory. Then send a squad to do a round up on known drug corners and maybe they will get a crime that will stick and keep the dangers of this problem to at least a minimum. Soccer moms who don't own guns think lets just bust every ones balls that owns a weapon a ban them. Have you heard the term don't bring a knife to a gun fight. Well wait till you can't bring a gun to a gun fight or better yet bring one to a knife fight that leaves you or loved one stuck like a pig.

Guns don't kill people= aholes with guns kill people

I really enjoyed this pod. I'm for the Second Amendment, and many people are responsible citizens that do not violate the law.

But mostly in cities, people misuse guns and use them in violence. Gun control should be much stricter in urban areas, especially in the inner cities, where gun violence can always be a problem.

Great piece and I also enjoyed the live chat.

All in all, a good pod.
Remember this: taking away the guns will not stop people from being killed by them. There will always be a black market, just as there will always be prostitutes, drugs, computer crackers, etc.
Anyone who wants one enough and has the money to pay for it can get one.

What do u think would happen if an American Muslim showed up to this event?

Guns are not the problems, it's crimes. Guns just make crimes more dangerous.

Own, shoot, love, cherish and respect guns!

Wow, people really do love their guns in America. Doesn't seem like a safe place to live if you have to defend yourself from other people with these types of lethal weapons in 21st century...

Don't hate us..join us! There is enough ammo to go round! Haha i said round!

I've drunk the Kool-aid, myself, having come up in the late 50's during the Western craze. Own 3 rifles, even got pretty good@ shooting a rifle from the hip; but since all of these stupid wars the US has been involved with for the last 40-odd (make that 50-odd) years AND seeing the proliferation of child soldiers (which is about the only thing worse than seeing women soldiers getting blown away{of course, it's bad enough that GUYS have been getting blown away for millennia}), I haven't felt much like shooting. I believe in the right to own, though. That's about the only thing I agree w/the right wing about.

if cops can have them, we should have them.
I don't believe one bit that if they have used these guns against drug criminals they would not be willing to use them on other citizen "criminals".
war on drugs.... should not follow the rules. your local drug dealer, they're the ones shooting across the street with their 100$ ak-47's, accidentally hitting your family. aim for them in your cross-hairs.
I live in philadelphia, where gun ownership is pretty much all around illegal, even in the counties outside of the city. It is very hard for a person to own a gun legally in this part of pennsylvania.
This pod makes me want one so bad.... especially because you never know when zombies might rise.

Well, this video certainly captured the two extremes. What about the middle ground? Something completely left out of this documentary. People that have safes, take time to learn how to properly use their guns and enjoy the freedoms that our founding fathers intended. Don't go by 2a alone, read other writings from John Adams, Samuel Adams, Thomas Jefferson and George Washington....they clearly intended the common citizen to be sufficiently armed to defend themselves from ALL that may oppress them, INCLUDING THEIR OWN GOVERNMENT! But no, the times are nearing where all will be punished for a few peoples actions. I live in CA, and the laws are getting so rediculous.
The root of it all is at 47:20...poverty and lack of education. They have nothing to strive for but gang life. Fix that and see what happens when kids have lives worth living. Also quit glorifying gang life in music, videos, movies and video games.

guns or no guns. well if they exist then they'll be present. thou, guns can be represented to frequently, and with people who should not bear them. As they say--regulate, regulate, REGULATE

My favorite weapon is the shotgun also the sig sauer pistol from GERRRRRMANY.
Shotgun is for crowd control.

dont take guns out of the hands of good americans because bad people will always find a way to get guns. all your doing is disarming the working class.

Interesting

Nice overview of differing attitudes and very entertaining.

So often when I see people defending their right to bare arms they're merely sticking up for the interests of a hobby that they've taken to a fanatical level.
