    In case anyone wanted to see these guys in an image with more than 4 pixels.

    And the full quote is: “Shotguns such a diverse platform. They are used by hunters, breachers, and sad musicians everywhere.” Which was a moment with a pause before moving on.

    I am generally not into 2A Youtube channels, but Garand Thumb can be funny as fuck.

      He’s a christian nationalist, has called all trans people pedophiles, is homophobic, and is generally a shitbag. He surrounds himself with people that are overtly fascists.

          There are a few that are decent people. Not a ton. But a few.

          I like Ben Stoeger’s stuff, because he largely keeps out of any culture war shit, and focuses on shooting better, and whatever the current USPSA bullshit it.

          I haven’t heard anything in particular about Kentucky Ballistics. His content doesn’t interest me, but I haven’t heard of anything objectionable. Demo Ranch (Matt?) is friends with a whoooooooooole lot of very questionable people. It seems to mostly stay out of his videos though.

        His videos used to be super good. Charlie was a great addition. But after Thumb EAS’ed from the Air Force they started going downhill; trending in the ways you’ve already mentioned.

          I dunno, maybe look him up on Instagram? He did an interview with Adminstrative Results (I’ve got his real name written down somewhere; he’s a former cops) on YouTube where he came right out and said it, made a bunch of anti-semitic jokes, and then it went really downhill from there. He was at least smart enough to delete the comment where he was talking about the massive amounts of ILLEGAL ANABOLIC STEROIDS that he uses (since that’s admitting to both a felony, and being a ‘habitual illegal drug user’. both of which would ban him from owning firearms).

            Damn that sucks. I like his videos didn’t know that stuff.
