> [@PhatSounds](#): > > So i see it is like that in the US. I get it now. Hmm, not easy to own unless you buy privately.Well too much risks to own a gun, it’s not worth it. I changed my mind & give it a pass now. I agreed with you Eldros guns are bad. It can either protect or harm you one way or another by the way you handled it. And yes owning a gun is not enough for your own protection, i see here u said take some classes you mean martial arts classes right? I was thinking about it too. Yup if you are lucky you might be taught by a veteran. Good advice Eldros 🙂 Thanks 😃 I think you still need a license to own a gun regardless of how you buy it. Not too sure, anyone know? I’m pretty sure in Cali it’s that way. And we’re the only state (I think) that has banned autos and certain types of guns that are easily modifiable into autos. GG North Hollywood bank robbery.

Eh, I was being sarcastic when I said guns are bad, truthfully, I don’t like people who hate on guns and think they cause problems. And I meant that you should take gun owner classes and advanced gun training: [YouTube - Fighting Pistol Trailer](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bybVAMJ6J24) I know james yeager personally btw, took one of his classes. He used to work for blackwater (I don’t want to hear any bashing on blackwater, mercinaries, or \*the government’s private army that they raised overnight \>.\<) ---

And I meant that you should take gun owner classes and advanced gun training: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hmm](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hmm), so i see. I was thinking 50-50 when i say guns are bad & they cause problems so don’t get me wrong there. I like guns like looking at them 🙂 but after seeing so much risks it is not worth it. Well i didn’t know there will be gun training courses, never heard of them well my country disapprove using guns strongly here in fact no using at all only the police & the army. Nice Youtube video btw. Thanks for the advice once again but i think i take martial arts courses 🙂 ---

Nice Youtube video btw. Thanks for the advice once again but i think i take martial arts courses 🙂 That youtube video I posted wasn’t me saying guns are bad. I personally love guns. Guns when misused are extremely bad. When you know how to use a gun properly and for the right reasons they are helpful. A car is a deadly weapon yet we don’t say cars are bad. Once you know how to use a car properly and the RIGHT way, they’re pretty useful no? I’m just saying those 2 bank robbers changed the law in California because of their selfish actions. ---

Just a certificate that you have passed a safety training class or a DD214 (that’s how I get mine). Also Automatic weapons were banned by the Federal government (so illegal in _every_ state) in the 1930’s.
