Russell doesn't seem to grok that freedom of association is just as important as the right to be armed, if not moreso (which is not to imply that I support Arfcom boomerops, but spare us the blanket platitudes bud).

Russell's PR is going swimmingly:


A typical "pro-gun" Karl fanboy is BTFO by a based Kraut:

Firstly,

Brownells owns Arfcom now, you're insane if you think they won't side with their own forum. Those people are their bread and butter.

Secondly,

All pronoun and LGBTBBQwhatever people are sexual predators and groomers. Grooming is how they reproduce and statistics favor this interpretation. Phagan, I understand you run a business and are trying to maximize the amount of money you make, but catering to sexual deviants, pedophiles, and perverts isn't really a smart move in this industry. Especially when said faggots almost all universally live off government tug boats and/or spend all their money on horse piss and funko pops.

And no, gun rights are not for everyone. Some people deserve to not have rights and even to be killed. This is a fundamental truth bleeding hearts ignore and that's why we have shit like CRT, 1619 Project, and Drag queen story hour. I'd rather have a "fascist dictatorship" that enforces basic morality and principles in society than a bunch of delusional men in dresses who think they're women and immediately create their own militia to play out paranoid siege fantasies. (I'm referring to the Tranch incase you are that dense)

Thirdly,

As I mentioned in Karl's lolcow thread, these people are not your friends. They are not going to see you as some kind of special savior or ally. Once the purity spiral gets ever closed in, you're the next one they're going to eat for whatever infraction real or imagined.

Is there anything from an authoritative source that Brownell's are dropping WWSD related products?

Karl was banned from bARF.com, that's not the same as the gun company severing ties. People are conflating the two.

FW is implying it but I don't think we will see a hard confirmation unless Karl whines about it on twitter.

You believe the gun company will drop a succesful product so they can give moral support to their mods on the forum (possibly unpaid jannies).

I believe that they would measure the fact that they could lose more business from forum members than they would gain selling a meme gun.

 

[Sleazy Car Salesman]

I doubt that Brownell's will drop the WWSD so long as it's still making them money, especially since despite Karl's public association with the rifle it's actually a KEArms product, which means that Russ is the one they'd actually have to cut ties with. What we're seeing here is the same shit that happens on twitter all the time where a small number of insanos will try to brigade against the rifle, whether the company actually drops the product or not will probably not affect their overall sales figures.

 

[AnyballLecter]

Ian said "It is, and it was. I look forward to working with Brownells again in the future."

Past, present and future tenses. Your eyes must be more fucked up that Ethan Ralph if you read that as confirmation their business relationship is over.

Remember this thread started off with a bunch of fake Discord screenshots about Karl hating Ian McCollum which were quickly discredited.

Looks more like they're divesting themselves from associating with Karl more than anything, since Ian seems optimistic about working with them again in the future.

The average Arfcom poster spends more money every year at Brownells than Karl's entire audience has since he started to cater to leftists.

 

[White Devil]

I could give a fuck less if Brownells drops meme gun or not. I don't shop there.

Pretty much what I'm thinking.

I also sincerely doubt that they will stop purchasing from Brownell's at all even if Brownell's keeps the WWSD on the shelves. Where else are they gonna go? Fucking MidwayUSA? Fat chance, they're gonna keep buying from Brownell's while simultaneously bitching about it, they're the gun comunity's own version of The Fandom Menace.

Primary Arms, Optics Planet, Omaha Outdoors, etc. There are enough online competitors now to make any business worried about bad PR costing sales.

Karl should of just deleted his account after that first post on ARFCOM and moved on, but he wanted to be Fatrick S Tomlinson and get the final word in.

 

[Rent Tin]

Fucking laughing so hard that Karl spilled his spaghetti hard enough to actually cost him some business. I'm sure he'll cope and sneed about "not wanting money from those gosh darn fascists!" while he carefully styles his Nazi haircut and spergs out at the slightest comment made about him online.

Brownells abandoned their retro AR line for this stupid meme gamer gun, so I'm quite happy to hear it's getting dropped.

I will never stop being upset over that.

 

[make_it_so]

I will never stop being upset over that.

I was really hoping they would update the line and develop a new upper for the BRN-10, so that we could finally get a true (or as close as possible) clone for the original Portuguese contract AR-10's. They'd already made a polymer reproduction of the waffle pattern mags.

 

[quaawaa]

That line is still going strong; they recently launched the BRN-4 upper which is a fully-compatible HK416 clone. My guess is that only the BRN-180 sold well enough to justify more than one production run.

Communists arent people.

View attachment 4440960

The conundrum here, Russel, is that Communists, particularly the militant kinds, are people who quite widely believe that gun rights only apply to people inline with their ideology, and that's just at fucking best.

I don't believe you shouldn't have rights just for having incredibly shitty opinions, or we'd had to lock up Siskel & Ebert, but some of these goons Karl gets so friendly with and standing up for were going around larping as revolutionaries during the Summer Of Love, and showing all kinds of support for the sketchiest motherfuckers imaginable, such as Raz Simone, or people who dig mass graves for Alpacas.
Lots of these people would, if they grabbed power, have you imprisoned, or outright dragged down into a basement and executed.

How good of a friend is Karl to YOU for pulling this shit? Going into tardville and getting into heated sperg fights with the insipid boomers there? What was he gonna accomplish, changing their minds? Hoping to achieve some brief self-satisfaction after firing off some epic replies?
This shit is finally starting to affect your livelihood, like people here said was gonna happen. Maybe you still consider him a good friend, by your account Ian still seems to, but he clearly also saw the writing on the wall with Karl and made sure to insulate his gig from the inevitable fallout.

Also Ian being dragged into all this as well. At some point he cant keep hiding behind "im just a historian!" facade, guy was personally involved with Karl for quite a while;
