There's that awlful video Ian did where he tells people who chance upon a MG in their household to call the ATF, as if the local ATF office has any interest in working to help you legally keep the item. Never call the feds, call a fucking lawyer and scurb your home for any paperwork related to the article and it being registered. The only remotely smart thing in that video was telling people to strip the receiver of any parts before turning in an unregistered MG but that might just be Ian and buddies working in their own best interests to keep parts for rare MGs on the market. In reality some dumb fed nigger ATF faggots may rush over to your house to seize the asset before you can figure out how to take it apart.

Finding any unregistered or questionable MG should have the following actions:

Google how to unload the weapon, then clear it out.

Google how to take it a part to it's bare receiver and then do so with only with proper tools like punches and rubber hammers that won't deface anything. (Take the barrel off if applicable, such as with an MG like a M249/M240 or PKM)

Call a fucking lawyer.

Look for paperwork and any accessories to go with that firearm and secure them separately from the receiver. (Don't even keep ammo, accessories, semi auto legal guns in the same house as the MG reciever, lest some grabbler glownigger tries taking more than they are legally required to)

Only talk to the fed niggers on the advice of your legal counsel.


Seriously, fuck Ian for that video. Terrible advice in his part for a proclaimed expert.

just take a torch to the receiver after you take it apart and then send the parts kit to a smith for a semi-rebuild.

or take the chad move and just don't tell anyone which is actually more common than you think. lots of shitty full auto macs are floting around that never got registered and the military used to be a lot less strict on looking for lost guns.

If I was going to do the *legal* route I would just cut it with a hacksaw can claim it was legally imported in the US before the blowtorch demil guideline and purchased it at a gunshow in the 90s. Cheaper repair job and fed niggers can't claim you're lying unless you expose yourself by running your mouth.

His first usage of the swastika was unblurred and it lasted less than an hour before being struck. Gun videos don't get shit on as much these days but swastika and gun at the time was bad for business even if it was for documentation.

A military history YouTuber I watch called TIK, for a time swapped out the NAZI flags in the maps he used for his Videos, with the EU flag. Which was kind of funny.

The WWSD/KP-15 was something that Ian has never hidden his financial interest in, if you are to dense to figure out that someone promoting a gun that is named after a concept they came up with you are helplessly naieve that I don't what to say. Also when dud it become unacceptable for people to try and make a buck? So many people in here sounding like SRA losers whenever anyone with an audience bigger than a couple dozen people tries to sell you something. Finally something feels awful off about this post coming from an account created in July and just now dropping their first comment. I am not saying it glows, but it certainly seems bioluminescent to me.

I think there's a difference between being a commie who supports the SRA and being pissed at the rampant shilling in the YouTube gun community. If the WWSD shilling is the only shilling Ian partakes in, he's better than 99% of guntubers, but it's still okay to be annoyed by it, especially considering the fact that he's mostly a historical guntuber rather than the "WATCH ME SHOOT MY NUTS OFF WITH A 50 CAL" guntuber from which you would expect that kind of behavior.

See, your advice is great. But it's great only when you have full anonymity or you're talking in person to someone you trust. (And IIRC, Ian does say that the first thing you should do is look for any documentation on it you can find.)

Whether or not he's a scumbag or naive, Ian has to give people the squeaky-clean "drop everything you're doing and contact the authorities" spiel. Take his bump stocks for example: he was very clear that he got rid of them, despite having fun with them, because he gets a lot more scrutiny than your average Joe and any slip-ups may result in legal troubles and/or a dead dog. He's a big gun content producer on the internet, the feds are watching him. If he comes out and says, or even implies, that you should hold on to an unregistered machinegun for any longer than strictly necessary, poor Dharma won't be very long for this world.

There's a reason dudebro gun channels don't give advice like that at all. And it's not because they're too dumb to know the answers.

ETA: a better argument is that Ian should just refuse to answer procedural questions and instead direct people to advocacy organizations.

Ian is one of the directors of the NFATCA. That is the National Firearms Act Trade & Collectors Association. This is the association of assholes that brought about the ATF rule 41F. In Ian's last Q&A he made it sound like the ATF found flaws in how people were using trusts to transfer and register NFA items and got help from people like Ian in fixing the problem. The truth is the NFATCA wrote a letter calling for the ATF to change the rules on the registering and transferring of NFA items making trusts more difficult to use. Ian does not tell you he is a director of the organization does he?

See, this is the kind of digging we need. Bullshit hearsay is something I don't approve of, but if there's an ounce of truth behind this supposed letter then it should be brought out for examination in the public forum. And it would likely sink him very, very quickly.

EDIT: Ian McCollum joined the board in 2019, the ruling was made in 2016. Three years off, though I admire your attempt.

He's also listed as an "additional board member". Which looking at the other two guys sounds awfully like "we gave this guy a ceremonial position as a favor/to increase our standing".

In that case the smart thing to do would be to not make a video at all that details what to do if you chance upon a MG. Imagine listening to his advice, having the local ATF nigger scum get hard and rush to seize your find only while implying they'll just arrest you or worse if you don't just surrender it only to find the trust or whatever legalwork you would need to keep in place months after the ATF destroyed the gun.

Funnily, he's actually a life member of the Arizona Citizens Defense League which is the state equivalent of your GOA type groups. I only know that from a friend of mine who works within that world and is soon to be getting out due to his frustration with it and being called a darkie.

So in other words, they might not take too kindly to a tatted troonzilla mincing about on the range with a gucci-ass Bravo Company AR pistol...?

Wasn't that one in Karl's range? Either way, there's weird shit in those halloween events.

Meanwhile, I remember Ian going to a couple different ranges lately, as well as new desert location. Either that or he really spruced up his usual desert spot.

If you trust Ian Mccollum you are a dumbass.

Goddamn; it's bad enough we've had the influx of Reddit weens because of the Gabby Potato case, and now the weens are spilling over here as well.

Take your personal army faggotry elsewhere, we've already been over this shit. Ian's in good standing with the industry & his community; the same can't be said for your boy Karl anymore.
