The Gun Thread

Something new on the market, Ukko's Hammer (seriously).

Don't have a link, and I'm not about to google it at work for obvious reasons, but evidently You Tube's new policy regarding firearms channels is causing a fair number of those folks to pull chocks and move to... Pornhub.

The "ammosexual" jokes are all about to come back in vogue.

Black AR fingerfucked by white dudes

Soon.

Interesting 4th of July videos for sure.

Which gun videos are actually being removed from You Tube? Just a cursory search is turning up a lot of results so either it’s totally haphazard or only certain types of videos are being removed.

Apparently they will ban videos that promote or link to websites selling firearms and accessories and any of the gun assembly videos. In Range Tv is the one going to pornhub which is done in part by the guy who does the Forgotten Weapon series, which we will likely see those vanish as well because they link to a seller in some videos namely auction sellers but are still selling fire arms and the rules per you tube's usual, are obnoxiously vague. We will likely lose Hickok 45 as well for a lot of the same reasons and he nearly left a year or two ago to begin with.

I actually expect there to be a new website that turns into a giant firearms video site in the future.

Also apparently any videos that provide a guide on how to modify guns in a way that could be construed as trying to get around certain laws, akin to dodging the "no full-automatics" regulations by making a semi-automatic shoot faster.

I am going to miss In Range and Hickok. They were fairly sane gun channels and one of them was pretty much the grandpa that showed you how to shoot kind of guy.

Hickok 45 is one of the best gun channels around, and utterly free of politics. Shame he'll have to go.

Have all the relevant jokes about Gun Porn been made?

When can we expect the Inrange TV parody? Will Fake Ian have a moustache as glorious as Real Ian?

I want Blacked.com to grow a gun section where goregous hunky rich black characters indulge in copious gun enthusiasm. Miscegenation is a nice taboo to smash/exploit, but black men happily and safely handling guns would also be nice to have.

Tushy.com can have a special feature on break-action guns.

Handle: Oh lord. Now I can't unsee that. ITS IN MY BRAIN! Honestly though that was kinda funny.

Just in case we do lose Hickok on Youtube.com you can find him here on Full30.com He has a separate channel there he has had set as a back up in case something like this would happen. The majority of his youtube stuff can be found on that channel as well.

Awesome!

The government didn't come for the guns (though Trump tried), but You Tube came for the videos once they started seeming like bad business for them.

and I'm struggling not to deliver a hurricane of pertinent double entendres and puns. Those things write themselves.

This topic would be extra funny if it was in the gun porn thread.

Probably a lot of Youtubers will move to Patreon in the meantime.

...There's a gun porn thread?

On Yakyakistan

TY.

After a quick look around on Full 30 it is looking like several of the gun youtubers already have channels set up including Forgotten Weapons. Well there you have it folks. Full 30 is looking to become the gun video site of the internet.

Hickok will do the politics bit but he is not rabid about it and he usually separates them from his usual vids into his rants and ramblings segments instead.

Does he still "lean libertarian" by any chance?

As far as I can tell he does have a tendency to lean that way but like I said he isn't overtly rabid from what little I have looked into.

Last time I've seen Hickok 45 touch politics was how the press was making too much of a show around guns, painting the average gun owner as a ticking bomb and not focusing on the victims.

I hope Forgotten Weapons sticks around. I really like them.

Firearms history is a weak point for me

Angelus: I would hazard to label him a moderate at worse from what I have seen. He definitely holds Libertarian and Republican views in general and is affiliated with the NRA but he isn't rubbing it in your face like the more excitable channels do. Like I said he usually separates out his actual gun vids and just chatting vids into their own categories.

His latest chat though had a bit of denialism and more regular NRA talking points about gun control in it. The denialism was about the Vegas shooting questioning whether or not bump stocks were there stating no one knew which a 5 second google search and finding the various crime photos that got leaked showing several of the weapons in the hotel with really damn obvious bump stocks mounted. The video was made long enough after that the more recent school shooting had happened so it strikes me as a bit dishonest of him to not make the effort to verify that.

If any of you go looking for those crime scene pics please be aware some do include a shot of the deceased shooter after he killed himself. Not for the faint of heart or weak of stomach.
