In this episode we look at firearms ownership in South Africa. We discuss how many and what types of firearms a person can own and the steps in the process of purchasing a firearm. We look at the different kind of firearms licenses available (self-defense, sport, hunting and collecting), and the national police register of firearms. We also look at issues like concealed carry, ammunition purchasing, suppressors, and magazine capacity.

Glad I'm not living there. Bunch of useless laws. You could be dead in two months time waiting on a card dumbest thing I've heard.
Jez Lamont
So how are all these people walking with illegal guns in South Africa. Criminals have them on mass with no issue but legal owners have ALL those hoops?!?

Done paperwork like I was writing my dissertation...getting all I need though
not my real name
In south africa I can legally mount a flamethrower onto my car.
glenn sammon
sounds like a very complicated and unnecessary process, and set of laws. while some good points are there,( silencers, SBRs and import what you want) it takes too long and is very unnecessary with the regulations and licenses. and why, why license ammo. and what if you want to collect different caliber cartridges? ( I would like to) , you can't in S.A. . and what is the country really afraid of? why not just let the people be free? and this is what the commies ( "deomcrats" who really are anything but) are trying for here prior to just taking them all away.
OH
Very humble intro of someone with quite extensive and broad resume.
Ethan Swart
This process is extremely long and quite expensive. I waited 1 year for my competency to be approved and the card to be delivered to my local police station, but I think covid has something to do with that as well.
Thuthuka Hadebe
You should work on Tv my guy. Your presentation is on point.
Pelican1984
So, how do you really protect yourself and your home?
Spencer Rabb
As a Texan watching this video, it seems that although the process of actually buying a firearm in South Africa seems extremely tedious, your firearms laws have less strange arbitrary rules and guidelines than we have here stateside. Also the fact that you can buy almost any modern fully automatic weapon is awesome. We will probably never get that law changed, but I wish we could.
Moe
How about an AR or AK pistol, do the same rules apply as the scorpion evo 3?
SPQR -
Hmm....Bolt action rifles from Germany 1940-1945......Absolutely based
SPQR -
A once beautiful country, absolutely ruined. Under apartheid life was better for everyone. Racial diff are real, no matter how much people want to pretend they aren’t. South Africa used to a 1st world country, now it’s just like the rest of the continent. Dangerous and a social mess. Demographics are destiny
Timmy Bailey
thought the laws sucked here in canada but uch

I've trust issues until I was referred to Herickcard on telegram he's the best in existence...
TheRealKingEddo
How about just carry an unlicensed firearm then have a lawyer defend your freedom of security since its in the bill of rights if you do get caught with that same firearm? I’m not waiting 90 days or possibly longer to be approved/denied while anything can happen to me in the interim of that waiting period. Our gun laws suck
ADVENTURE AWESOME
Better than cnanada lol, way more options in South Africa, we suck here lol. So tight, over controlled and lame. Wish it was like south Africa here bahahaha!
Scubaguy007
Thanks for your video, but I say keep your South African gun laws in South Africa. Sounds like a bunch of bureaucratic bullshit. Registration leads to confiscation. All gun laws violate the 2nd Amendment. Murica! 🇺🇸👍🏼🦄🌈🐬🥷🏼👽
Jesse Bentley
I'm sorry for you come to America and try to help us keep our rights which they are slowly taking
Neil Bodwell
Seems like a rational thought process. Not one I agree with at all, but there's an elegance to it.
Nameless, Formless Cosmic Horror
Every bit as tyrannical as I figured, though not as bad as it could be, I guess...
Not that "not as bad..." is an acceptable standard.
C Morris
Why the hell do you guys put up with this shit?
Stephen Hampton
Since you only apply for the license AFTER you've purchased a firearm, what happens if your license application is rejected? Does the gun shop refund your purchase, or are you just the proud owner of something you can't have?
AmericaFirst
Thank God I live in the US
VivaLaFiesta
So you can't buy a gun for sports shooting and also license it for self defense? And you have to buy the gun before you even get approved for the license!? Wtf happens when you get denied do yo get your money back?
The Chew on this!!! Movie review
And people wanna complains about California’s gun laws
Johnny Mark
You wanna buy gun hit up cashmain on wickr
Godspower Samuel
All thanks goes to scottalex710 on wickr me I really appreciate for the guns✅✅✅
Lucas Tyler
After months of research and test firing, I got my first 9mm! With the cerus mat from *Musketeercartel* on Telegram,
Dionne Swart
Going through the dedicated sport shooters process now and can say it is a long process but hopefully worth it. Nice episode. Keep them coming.
lawrence wan
I’m not a firearms expert, nice background
TheGreatOne
Sounds like a bunch of BS to me. In America the citizens want to keep authority over their country, so we don't give into national registries that could be used against us. We fight gun crime by arming more law abiding people.
YourBoyBrakpan69
My father is a lawyer and he aplied for a firearm for self defense and after 7 months he heard nothing back from SAPS so then he took matters into his own hands so he asked his boss who is a politician named Mathews Phosa to help then he got his gun ownership certificate after 2 weeks,so in South Africa it is not what you know,it is who you know
Ivan Gift Korope
You get a like for the girlfriend and wife Joke 😂🤣😂
sibusiso nombembe
Beautiful episode Professor. My theme for collecting : "BLACK MAMBA_AKA_BERETTA!". Any idea where I can do my competency test in Musina (Limpopo)?
TheRooSkittler
So what happens if you use a firearm in a self defense scenario in the home that isn't listed as your self defense gun?
David Liang
Very similar to the Canadian system. We have about 37m population with 2m firearms in private ownership.
Janet Klien
My neighbor told me he got glock 9mm from a reliable seller cashmain on wickr some days ago I just got mine from him thanks bro
Cossack Boxing Brisbane
The amount of qualifications you have probably makes you THE voice for firearms for the entire planet! Fantastic video my friend 👍
Jody Lenton
That's so stupid because if someone comes in your home tou cannot protect yourself 🤯🤯🤯so that can shoot us and go if we shoot them we go to jail for life so why get a gun in the first place😡😡😡😡😡
Gerri Galaz
Sounds to me like the SA Gov is just making it hard for blacks to own arms. Here in USA each child gets an AR15 with their birth certificate
Jayden van Diepen
Hi so I cant get a 22. pistol from my grandfather when I turn 18 I have to wait until I'm 21 for self defense? and if I can get it does my grandfathers license have to be up to date?
Gert Kriel
And an interview of your spouse, and a major motivation, which a lot of us pay for...
Bob by
30yrs if your caught with an unregistered firearm and ammo
That's fn feudal man... in Florida you can buy a gun off someone privately and no one needs to know except the 2 parties

ok how do i conceal carry my silence my suppressed cz scorpion evo 3?
nice video very informative
Kamion King
As an American...If I had to go through all of this, I would rather risk it and obtain a firearm illegally to protect my family
Robert Du Preez
This video makes it seem much easier than it is. I waited 7 months for my competency and have been waiting 7 months for my license, still not approved. Have friends that have waited 2 years for their firearm. Absolutely ridiculous licensing system. Also, you have to motivate why you need a firearm, and there are no set standards for this motivation, two different people can hand in the same motivation, one can get approved the other refused. If you are refused, appeal will take 6-8 months or re-apply and wait another 6-8 months
Armand Pansegrouw
Longer as in 6years
Ibn Battuta
Bedankt oom
Michael- Evergreen Shooter Supply
All the paperwork and waiting five months would almost be worth it to have basically unlimited access to sbr's, full auto and suppressors.
Mnr Tebogo Rammego
I have a pending drunk driving from a year ago, would that affect my application and result in the saps rejecting my application. Would that be legal?
Nonprofit Psycho
"Alright sir, next question. What is the theme of your collection?"
"Ah yes, my collection will be firearms produced on planet earth between 1580 and 2080."
vusumuzi2441 ngubane
Ya am from also South Africa and I do prefer the system we have in my country than that in US, for many reasons, when you look at the bad thing have come form freedom that you all want but when those gun you don't want to be controlled are use against you or your family members, is another story but ay it really fun to own and use a firearm
Donald Douglas
All these people talking about how dangerous South Africa is who have never been and live in the US, a country that is literally the definition of a dangerous place smh
Sean Sampson
South African here, currently doing my competency training in the shotgun. Hoping to get a double barrel or pump for section 15 "occasional hunting sports shootin"
Seth N.
0:32 lmao that gun
Ruac Woensdregt
Atleast you get alot of waiting for free from SAPS
AM-RECON vlog channel
I like South Africa stance on Suppressors and SBR and no limits on magazine Capacity and the fact you can import full auto AR the rest is useless criminals are going to get guns if they really want so all the other laws are a infringement on the citizens of South Africa
Vincent Pieterse
I am a South African and I am still waiting for my firearm licence and I started the entire process a year and 6 months ago
Dave Maximillion
WOW! This is terrible. Thank goodness I will never live there. Don't even see a reason to visit.
Joshua Finke
At least firearms are allowed. In other places in Africa, like TZ, it’s much more difficult (almost impossible) and part of the reason so many people are oppressed.
Tony Little
South Africa has a rich history of firearms in the same manner as the United States. Unfortunately I do not agree with your degree of laws to be applied here in the US. As divided as this country is, these laws would be perverted to the point of absurdity. The long range ability of South Africans is highly respected. Thank you for sharing.
Sovereign Brand
So he’s a pro RACIST
\-_-/
Hdog
What would the situation be for firearms that are able to shoot multiple calibers through the same barrel, like a revolver that can shoot .357 Magnum and .38 Special? Would all ammunition that could be shot through the firearm be listed, or would only one be listed?
Jacob Rivera
Everyone's talking about how the U.S gun laws are better than South Africa laws but we could pick up a few things from them like walking in to buy a suppressor no questions asked.
Kyle Warfield
Christ that sounds awful. I live in Tennessee, US, and I went into a local gun shop, did the background check, and was able to take it home the same day.
Kaali Surfer
Most of the world have same regules bout firearms.its not a joke
RaspingPompano2
South Africans have more freedom than Californians, New Yorkers, people in Chicago, New Jersey, Massachusettes, Hawaii and Maryland.
Dakota Mendoza
Own*
Dakota Mendoza
R u guys allowed to automatic firearms
NightRider LifeStyle
how much are the suppressors you make it sound like there only 20 bucks
Mike Parent
You may have a lot of steps and rules but at least you can conceal carry , own full auto firearms ,suppressors and a self defence firearm , way better than Canadian laws , the liberals just prohibited 2000 firearms .
Great info .
finn mertens
Lmao dis dude interesting

This is insane

“My girlfriend, my wife, hopefully not both at the same time” damn it feels good to be a gangster meme insert here
joshua Barrath
This video helped me understand the SA gun laws a lot better thx buddy great job well done
Mzamo Mahaeng
It's amazing that Mzansi aka South Africa is the capital nation of bureaucratic countries when it comes to firearm ownership yet the crime is the highest. Next thing you need to travel to Planet Mars in a bicycle in a week to qualify for firearms. He is right in the opening remarks about the law being political and bureaucratic :-)
Mzamo Mahaeng
What an excellent video, it's so well presented and concise. Well articulated. Thank you for this. I feel so like I have a very good idea now.
Ndodana Brandon Chuma.
So basically you were also part of the SANDF soldiers who opresed and murderd Black southAfricans in that country? Honest answer please
J D
Why they regulate suppressors in the US is beyond me
Grant Heeter
😂😂I walk in with $300 walk out with a gun 5 minutes later

Dont worry this will soon be removed as they want the land and gun owners stand in their way.

A gentleman who knows his stuff. Great video...
Ian Anderson
Aussie here . At least you can buy a decent firearm voluminous paperwork not with standing . I. Aus you can buy but no pump guns nor semi autos. As far as pistols its heavily restricted. Odd story. 35 yrs ago a 20ft container arrived at Botany Port Sydney from Smith & Wesson US for NSW Police Service . Port controlled by unionised Waterside Workers. Good guys I might add. Contained thousands of 4 inch S & W 38 cal revolvers . Deputy Commissioner arrives with his escort to supervise transport to HQ. Opens sealed container to inspect goods. Not a revolver to be seen. Some oiled paper on the floor only. All hushed up. Smirks from the boys. Next load from S & W by air freight naturally .
Thought the reader might be interested in the insanity of these firearm laws. Just leave common sense behind shall we?.
