General GunTuber thread

[White Devil]

If TFR's reaction to this matter is of any indication, he should publish it anyways because no matter what he does they already consider him a foul creature to be destroyed for the glory of whatever the fuck cause Cyrano happens to be a Kapo for.

Cyrano just full on loves tranny dick.

Ironic, considering Cyrano is literally a closet Nazi/Whereaboo. He's basically Karl except in academia.

Ian could have used GiveSendGo, which for now isn't troon territory. Now cucking. Sad!

GiveSendGo's embrace by the Truckistani mujihedeen will mean that any new adopters will be suspect.

On top of that be honest with the class, how many of us had even heard of GiveSendGo before the Truckerlingas? I hadn't.

It's been on the map. Kyle had to go to it.

Can someone point me to or give me a quick rundown on guntubers seeming to coalesce in Texas? Is this a thing or am I being a schizo? I don't actively watch a lot of guntubers but over the past year have noticed collaborations with those in Texas, starting with apparently Demo Ranch and it seems to have grown.
Is Garand Thumb in Texas now? Did he get out of the Air Force to become a full time e-celeb?

Is this like when youtubers move to California so they can all do gay collaborations and generate e-drama in an attempt to network and kick off their e-careers? Am I crazy?

I think it's as simple as Texas is a pretty great place to be a gun guy. Wide open spaces, friendly legislature. Hell, they even have the Texas-only suppressors now, though that's untested by law as yet.

No, you're pretty close to the mark. They're all friends to one level or another and Texas is a gun-friendly state that isn't 90% desert. DemolitionMatt being the biggest guntuber out there, the others just sort of coalesced around him as they showed up for collaborations and decided they liked the place enough to move.

Didn't a Texas RINO ruin constitutional carry for the whole state because someone protested outside his home?

And yeah I don't see the suppressor thing ending well at all, even if ATF gets zero support from State or local agencies. It's not that I want it to fail, I just don't see the Fed allowing the NFA to be so openly flouted.

That just delayed it, it got signed in last summer.

And I agree the ATF isn't gonna like it.

 

[MCLOS Horthy]

Speaking of retarded ATF shenanigans, has anyone seen any trickle-down reactions to the newest ruling? I've only heard about it in here. The silence is...disconcerting.

 

[White Devil]

More proof Ian is a gigantic faggot. This isn't the first time either.

How is selling a rifle after he is done with it faggotry?

 

[Mikoyan]

More proof Ian is a gigantic faggot. This isn't the first time either.

I've been told he recently bought a beat MAS-36 with a super rare pre-production bolt, swapped it into one of his very nice MASes then reauctioned the resulting beat gun. Honestly that was just funny.

With the auctions he walks a very fine line. If he's buying stuff and reselling it just to do a review, enh okay I guess. People will overpay to have an Ian gun but that's nothing new. If he's misrepresenting the goods then hell naw. The line's very fine though.

His auction house videos have always had a big element of trying to pump up that lot in the auction, and that's... sure a thing.

I still think though all this is iffy the RTI junkpile was the scummiest thing he's done.

I'd say that thread is full of gigantic faggots while Ian did some risky opportunist bullshit. He clearly doesn't need the deep asskissing or cries of "CAPITALISM" they provide.
I'll second the advertising of RTI being much more heinous since instead of ripping off one guy he potentially assists in ripping off hundreds.

This also comes back around to what we were discussing earlier about how the buyer is ultimately the one responsible for the purchase, someone bought that rifle because to0 them it was worth that much. How much liability the Internet Man has is up for debate although it is at least a small amount, but at the end of the day it's still the buyer shelling out the cash of their own volition.

Celebrity premium buys of anything are fucking retarded. Sometimes it's a durable bump, the whole 'provenance' thing but it's heavily dependent on how big that person is right now.

I wonder if in the future we'll see actual gun makers selling more or less mundane general production guns at a premium as 'Ian McCollum editions' with gaudy FW engravings on them the same way you'll see 1911s named for some boomer gunwriter like Wiley Clapp.

Instead of Ducks Unlimited and Pheasants Forever editions we'll get guntuber editions. Jesus Christ I want to die.

Guns have always attracted people with "fuck you" money and, with the concept of simps on the rise, I wouldn't be surprised if people overpaid on auctions solely because Ian's fingerprints were on them. I don't mean to rag on him personally, I just mean buying with intent to sell is always a risky proposition along the lines of his views on "investing" - short term or long term, sometimes it just doesn't work out.
