I would like to ask though...is the musket you are referring like the ones they used in the revolutionary war? if your answer is yes than i would respectfully ask if you have evidence that shows folks using them in mass shootings and so on.

@The Launching Pad, Seb0495 hits the nail on the head with his comment referring to why anyone needs an AR-15! The fact is our second amendment gives us the RIGHT to bear arms!

Full-auto capable AK for $300...You think criminals can't get their hands on ASSAULT RIFLES? You, as an American civilian, can't get your hands on an ASSAULT RIFLE (legally) for less than $20,000, but criminals can get them for less than $1000. Assault rifles have select-fire capabilities, so an AR is not an assault rifle. An Ak74 is not an assault rifle. No high-profile shootings have involved assault rifles. But a criminal can get his hands on an assault rifle, so why can't I have one to defend myself? But arguing this concept to anti-gun people is like telling a child about the Theory of Relativity. It just doesn't compute. But when that day comes when they are attacked with a weapon and they have nothing but a taser or pepper spray to defend themselves with.....well, I won't have anything to say but "I told you so."

[@LogicallyKnot]

n2cycles The AR-15 Is an awesome hunting rifle. It's quick, light, and you can shoot follow up shots with ease. I've used my POF chambered in .223 with a Eotech holographic sight/ magnifier combo EXCLUSIVELY for deer hunting over the last 4 years. Where I hunt, you don't ever have more than a 150 yard shot and it works beautifully. I've killed over 25 deer with that rifle and haven't lost a deer yet. I've never had to track a deer more than 30-40 yards. It's all about shot placement, just like it is with any other rifle round. If you gut shoot a deer with a 270, he's running a long way and you'll be tracking it a long way. A soft point .223 round does more than enough damage to take down any whitetail out there. These people that say .223 is too small of a round to use effectively for deer hunting, have absolutely no idea what the hell they are talking about.

The assault rifle is a term that was made up by the German army back in WWII, the MP44 had the name "sturmgewehr" (assault rifle in German) slapped on it as a piece of propaganda to make German troops feel more confident about their guns and to give the enemy a name to fear, due to the fact that the MP44 was a VERY effective gun as the world's first standard issue select fire medium range rifle issued in large numbers. Since then, medium range rifles gained popularity in militaries, and the name "assault rifle" for them stuck, since thats what the Germans used when they pioneered the field. its the same idea as the common 9mm round that people use these days for their handguns, the 9x19mm aka 9mm, 9mm para, 9mm Luger, is originally a German invention, and when it was adopted, they slapped the word "parabellum" (war maker in Latin) on the round as a matter of propaganda, so thats why you see "9mm para" on some designations these days. only the ignorant would be swayed by ancient Nazi propaganda... its sad to see the overwhelming majority of people as so ignorant about firearms.

[@jdl6881]

Elc22 don't mix up peoples minds with facts. Assault rifle is a real term period it started with the stg then the ak then the m16.

[@rednecksniper4715]

Well first off we haven't been able to own assault rifle since 1986 the definition of an assault rifle is 1: detachable mag, 2: fires an intermediate rifle cartridge, 3: has select fire capability (semi auto or full auto) therefore a semi auto AR is not an assault rifle it's a semi auto modern sporting rifle semi auto rifles date back to 1908 and full auto dates back to the 1880's so it's not a new concept

I defend this country with an "assault rifle." Why wouldn't I defend my mother or father or wife or children in my own home with one?

[@Briathos1]

and thank you for your service, very much appreciated.

[@GabeMacDonnell]

Every definition i've ever read for "Assault Rifle," specifies a selective-fire weapon. I'd really appreciate id both advocates, and the media would stick to the dictionary definition. A civilian AR is no more an Assault Rifle, than is a semi-auto Deer Rifle. Likewise, the media constantly refers to " high-powered" rifles and assault rifles. Again, by definition, an Assault Rifle uses an intermediate power cartridge- Grandad's Winchester Model 70 is substantially more powerful.

[@bill65761]

Gabriel MacDonnell The round discharged by an AR (either 5.56 or .223 Rem) is not sufficiently powerful to be used (legally) for deer in most states. At the end of the day it's just a hopped-up (faster) .22 round. I actually have some .22 rounds which, at 60 grains (Aguila sub-sonic), weigh more than the standard AR rounds. I HAD a "high powered assault rifle" ... a Mosin Nagant which, having been manufactured in 1938, likely saw use assaulting as many Germans as possible. At under $200, I don't see why more thugs don't use them. :-).

[@redtra236]

I deer hunt with my AR in Missouri and it's legal here. I've killed 4 deer with it so far. Also my AR is technically select fire I guess it has a binary trigger.

[@chrisavalon9926]

if only this man was our first black president instead of the kenyan

[@SUPERMAN-yu2tm]

Chris Hall instead of the kenyan lol

[@bill65761]

Chris Hall As Morgan Freeman pointed out, BHO isn't Black.

[@nickfury1279]

+bill65761 he's half and half

[@ctgslayer]

XD!!! I would vote for him no joke!

[@sceptre1922]

+Chris Hall - Sorry Chris, Bill Clinton was tabbed as the first black president when he was in office by Al Not-so-Sharpton, Jessie Jack-off-son and the NAALCP. Odumas is known as a creamy.

I just got my cc license and my first hand gun. I have been a hunter since I was about 10 years old but never had much dealings with semi auto pistols. I have learned a lot watching your videos and look forward to watching more. Thanks also for the "assault weapon" question. I hear people all the time including some of my favorite actors say the same thing about "why would a citizen need an AR"? Thanks for saying what makes sense....I think if you are a law abiding citizen you should be able to own a tank if you can afford it. When I joined the Navy in 1969 I pledged to uphold and defend the constitution against both foreign and domestic forces. I am at a point where I am more concerned about the domestic forces, aka "the government"! Thanks again for the great info. ps I still haven't gotten passed cambering my 9mm while it's in my pants. I'll get over it soon I hope!

[@DaAlphaOmega]

We need to have equal fire power against a tyrannical government. I believe we do have a tyrannical government and that is why they want our guns with 30+ round magazines.

[@oillamp5344]

+DEEZ NUTTZ You need nuclear bombs, tanks, arty, anti air capability etc aswell. Its just a bit more expensive :D

How about I don't give a shit what you think? I have the gun remember?

That's the first REASONABLE argument I've listened to. Everyone is so hateful when it comes to talking about this. I appreciate your opinion and explanation.

[@kenhutley971]

Love the way you think, man... and the way you deliver! Thank you!

[@jasonsimmons6684]

Colion is the man! I can't say how well you articulate yourself. I'd buy a ketchup popsicle from that guy! Yes even while wearing white gloves

[@bigbeast570]

Extremely well articulated argument. Actually, it was more just facts than an argument. Well done friend.

[@markhart8034]

To quote Tolkien's character, Eowyn: "Those who have not swords can still die upon them." Keep keeping it real, Colion. Love your videos!

[@alb.dersame]

I had No idea that I would be So VERY FORTUNATE !!! To come across your post. I could have searched all day and night, and STILL couldn't of come up with EVERYTHING I needed to hear from such an Intelligent, Responsible, Normal, Down to Earth Dude, like yourself. I was Just having a friendly conversation with a person who is Anti assault, or whatever one chooses to call the weponry. You just summed up Every Point I was trying So Hard to convey, in a few minutes. I tip my hat, and give you All the Praise that you so "Richly" deserve. I'll stand by you, and would give Anything, to be in such Good company with someone like you, when/If ( God forbid) the Shit Ever hit the fan ? I would be PROUD to call you Friend !!! Your family and Loved one's are Extremely Fortunate, to have you in their Lives ! Thank you Sir .. Going to share this on the thread I was Just talking on. WOW !!!!

[@mwmcbroom]

j agree with you about the preference of having a high-capacity semi-auto rifle, but barring that availability, there's not much out there that will trump a good old pump action shotgun. Take my Winchester 1200 Defender, for example. It has a 20" cylinder bore barrel and an extended magazine underneath. It will hold 8 + 1 rounds of 00 buck. They ain't too many bad guys who'll be walking away from an encounter with that. The main reason why I even mention a shotgun preference is it's often a matter of logistics. My AR and its magazines are downstairs locked up in my gun safe. But my Model 1200 is upstairs by my bed. It rarely, if ever, sees the inside of a gun safe. I also have a couple of handguns, strategically distributed in the downstairs area of the house, so that I have those options if I need them. But the main thing I'm getting at is -- I need some notice if I'm gonna bring the AR into any fight. And I'm not really liking the idea of leaving it laying around in the open downstairs. If a situation does develop while I'm downstairs and I don't have the time to unlock my safe (it's got an old-fashioned dial), I have a Ruger SR9C within arms reach with both magazines loaded and ready to go. I guess it'll just have to do.

[@molonlabe459]

Eloquent, intelligent, factual, honest and sincere. Mr. Noir in 2016!

Dude, im trying to get your word out, keep it coming im sharing your words, im on the edge of my seat dude you are spot on.

[@ciscokidkid6580]

[@createdforel2486]

Man... I love you Colion... not in a sexual way but as a brother. Thanks for representing 2A advocates so eloquently and coherently.

[@Adam-hd4hz]

Thee realist thing I have ever heard. Finally, someone that knows what they are talking about.

[@D123-f9k]

So glad we have Colion Noir. I'm constantly hearing how the NRA is only against gun control because gun control would hurt gun manufacturers. Maybe thats true for some people at the top who are getting those kick backs, but most gun owners aren't motivated by money. We have legitimate concerns and Colion is great at calmly and effectively communicating this.

[@144Jacob]

Excellently put: learn & educate yourself before making assumption about something you have no idea what it even is.

[@christianbackmon8860]

You're 100% correct! Much love and respect my brother 💯

[@StacieStockman]

ARs are a lightweight, low recoil Rifle. Adjustable stock allows easy change of LOP. Semi auto action is for Fast, follow on shots. Pictanny rails are easy mounting of Lasers (for better targeting) and Lights (better target illumination, EVERYTHING looks better with light on it)

[@Akartavor]

Well said! I love my AK because it wants to protect my family. It sometimes looks at my CZ-P09 and says, you go take a nap. I got this.

[@RobnPhx1]

Older video but right on the money, Mr. Noir. Semi-Auto does not constitute a fully automatic assault rifle: one that keeps firing until you release the trigger-or run out of cartridges. It simply looks scarier than a bolt-action rifle or even something along the lines of a Ruger ranch rifle, which is also, of course, a semi-automatic rifle. Keep up the informative videos!

[@RobnPhx1]

And before anyone flames my comment about the Ruger Ranch rifle being semi-auto, I was referring to the Mini 14 and not their bolt-action ranch rifle. Just to be clear! Take care.

[@BernardBorel]

Very articulate in your explanation on this subject. Good job. The only problem you’ll have my friend is that the ignorant people who still believe “AR” stands for assault rifle will remain ignorant. No matter how many of us try to explain your points to them, they will continue to promote out beloved semiautomatic as an evil weapon of war and no civilian show own it. I hope you, as I will continue to enjoy my rifle.

[@Matt-mt6xk]

I like this guy. He makes sense and is down to earth about self defense. Also awesome vids!

[@Mclovin_It]

My question has been that wouldnt it be more effective to carry a handgun then a rifle if your at home? The reason i ask is over penitration, idk if thats bad information or not

[@dabarboza51]

Dang...you nailed it again!!! Thank you!!! Roll on!

[@ProudVet-Russ]

im kinda partial to a smaller mp5 kinda personal carry weapon. not as big and heavy as an ar15, while giving the stability of a shoulder fired rifle.

[@coolerdave86716]

I have an hand gun but debating on should I get a semi-automatic assault rifle or shotgun the preferred shotgun I really want is the Winchester SXP extreme

[@nellsonstout7001]

It's still not an assault rifle! Winchester SXP is a good choice actually

[@grizzlor5340]

The term "assault weapon" is ridiculous. An assault is an action, not an object. Otherwise any weapon used against another person could be classified as an "assault weapon". We'd be up to our necks in assault bats, hammers, cars, frying pans, belts, sticks....You get the point.

[@nellsonstout7001]

+Buster Keaton that's what I was saying idiot. I'm awake of that. Hell technically my iPhone is an assault weapon. Someone I know pissed me off so he got my otter box equipped iPhone to help s face

They’re also the best tool for criminals to attack civilians and defenders. How do you keep them out of Their hands Without regulation?

[@jakeweston8616]

Plus, shooting "assault rifles" are a great way of bonding. I just got back from the range today with my visiting from out of town dad. This trip to the range was the first time we shot rifles together in over 20 years ! and I couldn't have accomplished this without a couple of Colt M4s and ACOGs !,,,

[@Keichwoud357]

_"There is no need to own a fully-automatic AK-47!"_ I absolutely agree. However, as a gun nut and Cold War enthusiast, I really really *want* to. *Especially* if the AK in question is an East German MPi-KM (or even better, an MPi-KMS-72). I would save up for years for that...

[@terrymorris1687]

I'm behind you. We as humans and Americans have the God given right to protect ourselves from all enemies, especially tyranny. "The tree of liberty must be watered from time to time with the blood of tyrants and patriots to ensure its survival".

[@jimz508]

I've always had a problem with the definition "assault rifle" as used by the anti gun crowd. An assault rifle is what the military carries, capable of either full auto or burst modes. 99% of civilians have semi automatic rifles which I don't consider them as assault rifles. Many civilian guns look like them though.
