His movement started about a decade ago with a YouTube channel, InRange TV, which now has around 930,000 followers. Kasarda’s videos frequently focus on firearms history he believes many conservatives in the gun world would love to forget, like slave revolts, members of a Native American tribe kicking the KKK’s ass in a standoff in North Carolina in 1958, and a possibly trans midwife in Colonel George Armstrong Custer’s cavalry. The channel’s description says it’s “actively anti-racist, pro human liberation and LGBTQ+ rights,” and Kasarda is a champion of “2A For All,” the belief that everyone, particularly minorities, should have access to arms. While that might seem like a natural stance for any gun-loving American, Kasarda’s views have pissed off right-wing gun nuts so badly that there are years-long angry threads about him on
AR15.com and
Kiwi Farms, a forum notorious for harassing trans folks. “We don’t want to talk about marginalized communities depending on firearms because we don’t like the marginalized communities,” Kasarda says, of how right-wingers see the issue.
