susie saw if i'm interested in what he has to say with respect to you, great. ok, and i, it's, we'll walk you his other and bigger problems than ukraine. we don't agree with the army in ukraine. we do everything also as a part of the e. u. and support efforts and for peace in ukraine and efforts to start these think associations on ukraine. we finish all initials to 13. at today's meeting, it became clear that i have different opinions on some topics with mr. prime minister of ukraine. above all, it is a view of the war and ukraine. i retreated that i did not to leave you in the military solution to this conflict. taking everything into consideration to our broader implications as the market is a member of the european union is also a member of nato, but it has for time opposed ukraine joining nato. there's been a great deal of discussion about the european block or nato sending troops to ukraine. but that's something as opposed to this position as well, time and time again. but there are other issues that have also been appeared as a post. and that is it present like peter pan again, who is, is going to be assuming office soon. and his position is similar to that of the still about prime minister. and this will have greater implications throughout the

european union as well as the boxes position within nato. so it's safe to assume that the events that took place in part going to necessarily enter and it will lead to greater discussion throughout the european block well matter of this. and he is now, as always, is going to have your company here on, on the international. be sure to check out and see don't. com is a lot of interesting. so is that we'll be back in about 30 minutes. the guns and the right to bear arms are deeply ingrained in american society to the 2nd amendment of the constitution. but at the same time, in response to concerns such as rising gun debts and mass shootings, it is back in the national spotlight. a majority of americans to it is too easy to

legally obtain a gun in this country and favour stricter gun laws. i am christi i, you're watching the cost of everything where today we're going to be delving into the contentious topic, the cost of guns and fire arms and their impact on society the, the firearms industry is a significant player in the us economy, generating billions and revenue annually and supporting thousands of jobs across the manufacturing retail and related sectors. and as a market size of over $21000000000.20 and is expected to grow 5 percent. the u. s. is also the world's largest export of arms with saudi arabia, but being the main recipient of 22 percent. the 5 largest arms export as include the us, followed by russia, france, germany, and china, which together accounts for 75 percent of global exports. the us alone accounts for

39 percent montana has the highest rate of gun ownership in the us, followed by wyoming, alaska, idaho, and west virginia. meanwhile, new jersey has the lowest rate followed by massachusetts, rhode island, hawaii, and new york to the u. s. has far more civilian own file and then any other nation in the world, the country with the 2nd most firearms compared to us is canada with 72 percent fewer guns per $100.00 citizens. meanwhile, texas, not surprisingly, has more actual guns stockpiled than any other state. it is estimated that texas has over 1000000 guns and just over 29000000 residence, florida trails in 2nd place with just over 500000 guns. currently, more than 40 percent of households have at least one fire on this number has increased by 15 percent since 1994 with 18 percent buying more firearms. during the

pandemic. more than 15000000 americans have a fi, i'm in their home for the 1st time today. estimates very on how many guns are circulating today in the us, but most sources suggests that guns out number americans, gun ownership can be a wonderful thing. it can give a person a sense of responsibility over their own life in a way that people who don't own them can't fully grasp. but even budget fire arms involved a significant expense. the price of gun ownership has more than just the initial hand gun sale. but there is more such as ammunition and any ancillary accessories, such as a safe, your protection, holster, cleaning supplies, i protection, etc. but the biggest cost of owning a firearm is the cost to society. one of the most pressing questions regarding civilian fire ownership is do far as result in more depth where the relationship

here is unclear whether us has more fire arms than any other country, brazil, el salvador, mexico, and re lin, have higher rates of gun related debts in texas, california, georgia, illinois and florida have more homicide and suicide desks than any other state in 2021. however, these 5 states have a far our ownership rate of only 15 per $1000.00 people. this suggests that there is no direct correlation between gun ownership and firearm related deaths. in fact, these 5 states have relatively low firearm ownership rates. however, more americans have died from gun violent in 20202021 than any prior year on record to gun related homicides and suicides. total 488302021. and the shootings of children nearly doubled during the pandemic. the nation also endured a record number of mass shootings in 2021 where there were 690 incidents in which 4

or more people were shot. and now today we're joined by civil rights attorney robert patello. now robert, can you provide an overview of the economic significance of the gun industry in the us, including revenue, employment, and contributions to the local economies? let people understand that the gulf industry in america's largest industry. so in the country, we have over 330000000 guns and america. some estimates revenue by 400000000 firearms. i have the hands of a mirror. this is more than one product citizen i. in many states, i have companies, loc, and ready to their major opponents of state where i'm at once georgia, i would have many major corporations of homes of state because of their tax law on laws, constitutional kerry. and it doesn't look like this. the slowing down, what we see with the weight of the pen demik is massive spikes of gun ownership

among people were they were kind of orders previously. a group such as black and latino women are the fastest growing sectors when it comes to go on gun owners of ours in self defense classes nationwide. the no pet to the brands after gateway system, particularly if i'm meeting minority communities. i'll feel that the nation was all the point of a soul. or i was hoping to stop hiring engineers and start selling guns and fire ones. classes for building firearms have been on the never more populated. so these are the gun industry in america right now. do the booming industry the old and how does gun ownership in the us compared to other countries in terms of per capita ownership rates, regulation and cultural attitudes towards firearms, america really gun culture driven through as doors. carlin what said, we're the only country that has rocking some bombs in the nearest land. we're kind of steep this idea of the fierce independent militiamen. we must get rid of fighting back against the british red coals of the regulars. we have reading to our

constitution, the 2nd amendment, i want people to remember and so they were doing amendments. the 1st one was freedom of speech free when religion boyfriend was the 2nd, but maybe it was god's that of how about how important it is to the cultural those here in america l supreme court of the firm to get it again, this is to be an individual right in siding, right. what's the only important to melissa? right? there's only important one is not a right. there's only a quarter to the military. they don't have an individualized right to, to have firearms in this country. because of this, we have a state level laws that regulate firewalls to a certain extent. so normally stays by and large have much stricter dollars. so if you're in a state like maryland and you want to own a firearm, do you have to, you have to buy him a round limit to your bags. you have to take classes in order to own a, a pistol or a role in the state or to be licensed. what do you have?

have a certain careers where you deal with the public? are we doing large amounts of money or we may be endangered or even apply for fire with license? you go directly across the board in virginia. all that's out the window you. if it was gone at walmart or somewhere else a you had on the start shooting, i really depend on what part of the country you're in with regards to the regulations of c, submitting state, just wanting to what's called constitutional carry a constitutional carrie was the cause of the because the 2nd name is the constitution, right? just before some of those a constitutional rights that there should be no harmony required. since you don't do a permit to you to 1st amendment, you still need a permit to use the 2nd amendment of the 4th 5th of this page. or if you have no lose with doors and buy some things for public caring firearms and carried close to when you're have a concealed carry a firearm without a permit. is the legal for law enforcement to ask you why you have

a firearm in any location where you're allowed to have businesses have to put up gifts vessel variances to stopping from? carry your fire onto those locations. a miracle variable bends over backwards to big jobs as accessible as possible to the most individuals as possible. and we've compared to other countries of almost unheard of internationally. countrywide suite and i have one of the largest largest growing populations in europe. it has been one for every 10 household versus america where we have more than one firearm out per household, but for every individual in the country and goes on with the assembly or continue to go up because it's now once he continues to evolve, something like a cult 19 by uh, 1919 pistol. pills lives over a 100 years old. well, 31. you need a factory to build that in 2023. you need a computer to print that off on a free bridge or you can program it into a wiper lake and having to grow 3 d uh for a little bit of produce at home,

most no cost to build a custom offer that will solve goals going to be banned earlier this year probably won't be any goes cuz it's just a piece of plastic. and you can print that off. on a 3 d printer, they have an operational firearms of the unregistered accessories within hours on a 15 lower for example. you can take an old air 15 lower and put it into casting sand and cast your own lower out of that, drill a few holes and have a fully false the air 15 in a few hours. so in terms of the progress of technology, it's almost impossible to know exactly how many firearms are that are in america. and it's very what's impossible to try to stop those firearms. because now they can be produced by almost anybody at any point in time. and are the lessons that can we learn from international approaches to gun control and violence prevention either? absolutely. let's as a we can learn internationally. we're going to go to control one. we don't, the wholesale bands on firearms on a national level,

just simply do not work. what we've seen in countries where you do have those sorts of bands ever. the only people have guns or to criminals. are the people who are in games or part of what kind of crimes individuals were in the list of agents, have the ability for a while away from the individual to be able to protect themselves. and also community, however, that lives under dialed in america has a problem. as soon as we have a problem with school issues, we have a problem. we're almost getting part of american life has been shut up. whether it be churches, of shopping malls, entertainment complexes, etc. a we don't have a mass, she will go through that. there was a, a cruise joke on the internet. uh, earlier this week after the uh, the trash, the terrorist attack in russia, where people say, you'll never see that happening in america because ours are shooters want to shop the terrorist before they started shooting up the, the concert as a crime job here in the waiting room, the number of mass you see in america. so we have to work on using

a leveraging technology to sort of gums and not getting into the hands of the right people. we should put in place mandatory background checks and what with mandatory training classes for individuals so that they're not simply getting scared by the golf for $200.00 and then is going out and start shooting and hold them for the best. i've been waiting period for very much a reasonable aspect of gun control because of so might be able to the best of an argument mailings or not be able to directly run to the store by and got the return to whatever the heightened situation was. so there are smart approaches that can be taken of the gun control to really rates with dangers associated with will gun files. but i don't think those will require the whole so disarm anything they're american public. and can you provide insights into the toll of gun by lens in the us, including the number of lives lost, injuries, sustain, and the broader societal impact, the wound care of the, the negative externalities has been a part of the culture in america. what are these 3 games that are role?

many major cities in many minutes is now young children as young as might in 10 years old carrying guns and doing the cartridge. here in the southeast, washington dc or baltimore, atlanta, chicago, new york. los angeles of this is the real problem. we also have to look at the effect of the insecurity of also american public spaces. but because of the, the, the major pilots in this country, many people feel disquieted, going to public convictions, all the channels to the cheese parade. the seo for the superbowl, i'll be interrupted by gun violence. we've seen charts services, we've interrupted by kind of violence. and we have to find the balance of the, in the united states of america, i'll be able to have a free and open society, but also society. there was but the 2nd amendment of respect to the right. so con owners, we've tried meeting things so many things have failed. but what has to be be put into place are the types of smart technology and the smart strategies that can be

used to keep the have out of the a get, keep going out of the hands of bad people. but make sure they have all by themselves have the right to protect themselves and to protect them. family, protect their families. this is something that is so in 1st of the mirror going on to try to be in all day tomorrow. good luck finding all of them. if you want to be able to sell a baby to some people to make some in their basements, i, if you want to of simple, so what we're going to be also rival. while i'll put a one in stock on my a are 15, it won't do by to default, rightfully more of the most of the slogan nearing the subject matter when it comes to discussing for all this, just simply don't work and we have to have some more conversations about how we can leverage technology, how we can leverage social good allocative shortly. we're protecting communities while also historic individual rights, and we're doing deliveries that are a lot of our constitutional values. thank you so much, robert, for all your time today. coming up after the break will be joined by another gun

expert to talk about america's unique gun culture and the risk posed by what experts referred to as goes guns. don't go away. the acceptance and i'm here to plan with you. whatever you do, you do not watch my new show. seriously. why watch something that's so different. whitelisted opinions that he won't get anywhere else. welcome to please. i do have the state department to see i a weapons makers, multi 1000000000 dollar corporations. choose your facts for you, go ahead, change and whatever you do. don't marshall stay main street because i'm probably going to make you uncomfortable. my show is called stretching time, but again,

you probably don't want to watch it because it might just change the way you the america's relationship with guns is unique and its gun culture is a global outlier. on the one hand, only a guide is a right imbedded in the 2nd amendment, but on the other hand, it is a privilege that should be regulated. there are about a $120.00 guns for every $100.00 americans according to the latest data. but that number could actually be much, much higher. ghost guns have created a major public safety issue. goes guns are often assembled from d i y kits are produced during 3 d printing technology. they have no serial number in our untraceable presenting a significant challenge for law enforcement as they circumvent traditional background checks and registration requirements, making them attractive to criminals and individuals seeking to evade detection.

these kits are readily available and relatively cheap. the rise of goes guns have also been accompanied by a surge in conversion devices that transform legal, semi automatic weapons into fully automatic firearms. police have seen a rise of 570 percent, and the number of conversion devices in a 1083 percent increase in goose guns. between 20172021. the increasing ease of internet sales has made obtaining weapons easier than ever. a goes gun could cost as little as $200.00 as prince and designs on how to 3 print them, circulate, chat rooms. in contrast, many countries have chosen to band guns altogether except for private security companies, militias, or paramilitary groups. these countries include cambodia now these solomon islands and a handful of others. meanwhile, other countries like singapore don't ban guns altogether,

but is the strictest country in the world. when it comes to gun laws to own a gun, you must belong to a gun club and you must leave your gun at the club for storage. no guns are allowed at home. there's also a mountain of paperwork to fill out when you apply for ownership and permits are only valid for one year at a time. anyone who illegally owns a gun or even a munition faces at least 5 years in jail. china is also quite strict, making it illegal to own gun powder, ammunition, or guns or risk facing prison. japan basically band citizens from possessing, carrying, buying and selling firearms, as well as important gun parts unless they have a gun license, which is notoriously hard to obtain. candidates must take a written exam, as well as a shooting range test, where accuracy needs to be above 95 percent. the only guns you can own in japan are shot guns. an air rifles, no hand guns or automatics. australia used to have

a relax policy about gun ownership, but in the past couple of decades, that has changed as well that they made the process of buying only a gun as inconvenient as possible with a lot of paper work and licenses that must be renewed each year when the government passed this law, it also offer a buyback scheme to encourage citizens to hand in these guns. this lead to about 700000 guns being destroyed. so for this and more, let's bring in steve a bromwoods, host of heartland journals, tennessee podcast. now steve, how easy is it for individuals to legally obtain fire arms in the us and what process sees and regulations governing the purchase and ownership of firearms? it's getting harder for sure. uh for uh, you know, the 2nd amendment it says, shall not be infringed. they certainly figure out lots of ways to do it on fire. our licensing laws generally require those who wish to obtain a gun to undergo a background check and apply in person,

submit additional information like fingerprints directly to law enforcement, complete a fire and safety course. wait for the application to be processed before acquiring a gun. uh california in new jersey or the states that have the strictest gun laws in the nation. california, california requires a 10 day waiting period for organ purchases, as well as through background checks for all gun purchases and everybody has to go through an f b i background check to to walk away with a gun. are their ongoing debates and legal challenges surrounding gun control measures such as background checks, waiting periods, and restrictions on certain types of firearms? sure, every state has their, their, their means of doing this in tennessee for example. there's a bill that would allow school staff to carry concealed handguns on campus. our governor li, once red flag laws based on mental health and reaction to the company. christian transact to this killing of 6 people. democrats in the house that they want to see something stronger from governor lee. this was a char $1574.00,

which would expand that existing order of protection law that encompasses domestic violence cases. the as the way the bill was written, this would be dumped as a temporary mental health order protection, meaning those in question will have to be notified and given the opportunity to stand before a judge. and also in this past, the big one point, something trillion dollar bill this week was ethan's law legislature named in honor of ethan song, a teenager from connecticut, who was tragically killed in 2018 by an unsecured gun and a neighbor's home. the bill would create federal requirements for safe storage guns and establish strong penalties for any violations, but it would also require safe storage to protect children and others from unsecured firearms and police can search your house not like the way you store your legal firearms and then take them up before that that would have been considered

illegal search and seizure. now it's fair game. so definitely a 4th amendment rights violation. can you explain the concept of goes guides and their implications for fire and regulation and public safety. and how common are these today? yeah, so they, those are also known as privately manufactured firearms, basically guns without serial numbers. it has exploded in recent years, claiming from about 1600 from crime scenes in 2017 to nearly 200-2021. and that's a 1083 percent increase prompting the atf to significantly toughen his regulations on homemade weapons or at the atf national integrated ballistic information network facility in dc. ballistic evidence is evaluated and matched to crime scenes from across the country. but without the serial numbers on the gun frames, it is virtually impossible to trace goes guns and track down dealers who are selling guns illegally to miners or to people without proper firearm licenses. so

that is a huge concern, but that is why i am pro gun company manufacturer and not so much the do it yourself at home. um, you know, back in the day from the very 1st loaner rest of our british man in 2013 suspected of 3 d printing a gun in what stopped to be the 1st ever caesar of a next generation weapon to shocking a 108 in the 1st half of 2023 alone um the surge interest the paints, a picture of how the 3 d printed firearms have shifted from a minor concern to a more noticeable phenomena in crime statistics. the over a 100 fold increase in a decade underscores the accelerating interest. the criminals and gains have developed in these untraceable and undetectable weapons, also known as coast guns. how do the wi fi arm kits? and 3 d printing technologies contribute to the proliferation of untraceable firearms and the production of these who made guns. yeah. that they certainly are

part of it. yeah, i mean firearm tracing begins when a law enforcement agency discovers a firearm at the crime scene. right. so the crime has to be happened 1st before they even get involved. and of course it was 3 d printed prior to it being used in the crime. so when it seeks to learn the origin or background of that firearm, in order to develop investigative leads and tracing is a systematic process of tracking the movement of a firearm from its manufacturer or from its introduction to us commerce by the importer through the distribution train the wholesalers and retailers, so do identify and unlicensed. uh, lets say purchaser, that information can help to link a suspect to a firearm, and a criminal investigation and identify potential traffickers, firearms tracing can detect in state interstate and international patterns in the source and type of, of crime that the gun was used in atf processes these crime gun trace requests

for thousands of domestic and international law enforcement agencies each year. it also traces us sources, firearms recovered, and foreign countries for law enforcement agencies in those countries. traces classified as routine are complete within $7.00 to $10.00 days on average. the law enforcement agencies submitting the trace request determines the trace classification. so with a ghost gun with no serial number, almost impossible to do that. so most of these crimes will probably go on solved. there's a thing called a trace. you traces the as a web based firearm tracing system, available to accredited domestic and international law enforcement agencies to assist in the tracing of those us sources for them. so the technology is getting better, but that goes gun scenario. the know, serial number scenario is very difficult and then the last thing i'd say about that is, um there's, there's records, there's what's called out of business records. they're integral in the fire and tracing process um,

fails that discontinue business are required by law to send all fire. i'm transaction records to the mtc receipts and average about $5000000.00 out of business records per month. ctf utilizes out of business f. a file records to assist in the investigation of firearms taps when it could be incomplete. identifying information is available. so since 1968 atf has received several 100000000 of those type of records in it's out of business record depository is the only one of its kind in the world. so again, if it's a ghost gun freshly printed on a printer, those types of crimes just can't go on solve. um the receive thousands of records search requests from law enforcement jurisdictions where an individual firearm owner has no record of the firearm identified or the f. a fail from whom new owner purchased firearm is no longer a business or not even a live. maybe somebody's grandfather's gun. these records are proven pivotal in order for criminal investigations. um, so we really do need our licensed serial number to register guns to be out there to

fight. right. and can you discuss the industry's efforts to implement strategies to track fire arms throughout their life cycle and prevent legal sales and trafficking between each race and the out of business directors? the best one i think is the firearm examiners are able to examine bullets and cartridge casings to determine if they were expelled from that same firearm. that may be found at the scene of a crime so that the gun itself may be disguise. but the bullet may be able to be traced back to it, and that's obviously the key because guns don't kill people, vote skilled people, right? so if you have the ability to trace the bullet back to either the manufacturer or the seller or the owner, that is another way to solve the crime. but again, if the gun itself is a ghost, very, very difficult. thank you so much, steve. for all your insight today, while there's a lot of debate surrounding guns,

fire arms are a tool that most commonly comes to mind when people think of a tax. but firearms are certainly not the only weapon to be used, nor are they the most effective means of committing may have. so it is important to remember that guns don't kill people. people kill people, and guns are merely a tool used by most for survival and sportsmanship. perhaps the most troubling aspect of gun ownership for protection today is the sharp edged individual is um that it implies that institutions can't be trusted and that the police will be unresponsive. i'm christy, i thanks for watching and we'll see you right back here. next time on the cost of everything the, [000:00:00;00]

the, the, the period to do with the russian national anthem, unavailable to meet with the chinese, rather than seizing thing as the russian need isn't b z lines, state prison as is real action this year because they didn't. so as in congratulations and prosecute a couple of days ago, you took the oath of office and entered your 5th presidential term. i want to congratulate you and the entire russian people, i am convinced that he will certainly lead russia to great achievements in national development. the,
