Has anyone else listened to Fudd Busters? Ian suggested it a while ago. It's run by some lawyer who gives legal analysis of gun law in different states and follows the ATF's shenanigans.
He has a podcast on the same channel with someone else. The host seems like some sort of "libertarian" that lets his politics seep into this podcasts. It's pretty cringe inducing or boring and different from the scripted content. Based on the comments, he attracts the standard balless conservative/libertarian types who talk a big game but then just watch their rights get taken away. I can't tell if he is naive or playing it safe for youtube based on some of the things he says because he seems very sympathetic to leftist movements. Here he is reading a SRA powerpoint and mentioning he is apparently the preferred guntuber of the SRA according to reddit.

I've watched the last few podcast episodes. FB himself isn't that bad, his co host is annoying and I prefer the fat guy he had on as guest host for one ep. Not great or anything but decent enough for long car rides or cardio. I rolled my eyes a dozen times during the SRA segment in the last episode. Typical libertarian conservative blabberings about how we should find common ground with leftists despite them standing against everything we hold dear.

His state law series and AA12 video are informative listens.

Yeah, when you start saying that the Socialist Rifle Association is a good thing, you lose me,

Those fucks just show up to political events and threaten people. Maybe the chapters around him are better, but here they're larping thugs who carry guns because they look scary. Bonus points that they tend to have very high end guns around here. Commies with a 3 thousand dollar race gun.

Which shows these creeps are unusually well-funded under what I am certain are totally legitimate and valid circumstances.

Got to talk to them at a 2nd amendment rally and they're more like trust fund babies than Soros money troops.

Probably why they are commies.
They have money and don't think the rules will apply to them.
Oh what a surprise will be in store for most of 'em if they ever get what they think they want.

When exactly did you learn about the WWSD rifle project happening and do you know when it started exactly? The 2017 introduction video mentions it was a project that had been in the works for a while and I'm sure that with the KE Arms components and GWACs lowers that you may have had some awareness of its beginnings. Also, with the PDQ lever, did Karl and Ian learn about it from you or did you suggest they take a look at it for their project?

Sorry for taking a couple days to reply to this.

The line of thinking is absurd and indefeasibly wrong, but once dug into it takes more than a sentence or two to explain how completely wrong it is, but anybody should be able to figure out.

So, it first must be noted that these guys worship WWII as the peak of all warfare. Scale and capabilities never replicated, or exceeded. The technology that won the war therefore has not been obsoleted. After all, a spitfire can dodge, juke, and fly low enough to avoid an S-300 missile (theoretically...maybe...possibly). Never-mind that the S-300 was built to target bombers and logistics aircraft, not fighters, in the first place.

Second is an inherent distrust of new technologies, some merited, some not. Vietnam was the golden era for this sort of skepticism. The missile-only phantoms "lost decisively"against the "gunfighter" Migs. Forget the fact that the Phantoms did rather well in the face of having to constantly fight Migs in the air from air-bases right underneath mission flight paths because doing air-field denial might upset the Russians.

3rd, is that the older tech was radically cheaper at least in dollar amounts. A Reformer would argue that for the price of a single f-15, or B-52, you could have dozens or hundreds of Mustangs and Liberators. Don't calculate the price of having to maintain, fly, replace, and store though (among many other things). That is to say nothing of the capabilities lost (range, and to a lesser extent payload, being the most important to a SAC aficionado like me).

There are/were a clique of these guys for just about every branch and service you can think of: Army had the infamous Pentagon Wars, Navy *still* has battleship acolytes despite being proven second class in WWII. The Marines would have a much more vocal set, if they didn't have ancient shit being used as mainline equipment to begin with (Osprey problem aside).

The Navy almost has the opposite problem and I'm not sure why that is. A lot of their new cutting edge equipment is dogshit and plagued by lifetime reliability issues due to jumping too deep into untested waters (though I guess calling a 30 year old airframe "cutting edge" is wrong now, but it was right when they were introduced). The Osprey, the Littoral Combat Ship, even Rebreathers (these things are great when they work, but they have to be stored really well or the chemicals decompose and you can't tell they don't work).

When it comes to the Osprey in particular, I'm pretty sure those things have killed more Hawaiian Marines than the Iraq War did. They crash so often it's insane that anyone still lets them get in the air. Even with modernizations and safety improvements there's at least 1 fatal crash per year just out of Hawaiian bases.

It seems most gun channels want to either pander to most deluded boomer conservative views who only back the position of the left 10 years ago or they feel that embracing the left will somehow protect their rights or win them more donations for overpriced soy consumerism when my holosun and M&P-15 does the same thing. One of the few who are pretty decent is C&Rsenal and other people who focus on a specific niche such as long range marksmanship or gunsmithing.

https://youtu.be/qCi1R3FNyLc International gun channels such as cap and ball are also fantastic if you want a perspective that goes beyond thigh high socks, shooting random shit in your yard, or the Gadsen flag.

Good questions, save them for discovery.

I consider the pistons FTW argument especially egregious when even crop dusters run turboprops these days.

Like legal discovery? For a lawsuit? Is there something we need to know?

I cannot publicly comment on an ongoing legal situation. First post by a new account while we were on lunch break from depositions today.

When it’s over Ill have enough material to write a book.
 
Well I suppose that's our answer. Time to place your bets folks! Class action, ATF, or trademark dispute?

I suppose that's why the early GWACS video demonstration with Karl was deleted then. I'm not actually a part of GWACS or anything of that sort(if you can believe that,) just a guy that's interested after having incidentally learning of the case's existence from a google search. If that's the case that video is still up on some alternative youtube website (I forget the name exactly it's juts something I remember trying to find a little while ago) under an account with your name, so check your alternative social platforms (probably better for you, too if I don't give a domain too.) Again, I'm just a bystander saying this as an honest tip and wish you the best of luck.

I get the fact you cannot comment about the timeframe stuff as there's possible legal/financial consequences, but can you comment on the PDQ lever part at least? I'm curious about it since the PDQ lever seems to have come out only briefly before possible WWSD initial development began. I think most likely Ian or yourself would have known of the device first since it had only recently been released and you two are left handed and more interested in that sort of thing. That or Ian/Karl could have learned about it from an unrelated setup of your own. Ian, especially at the start of WWSD, seemed not well versed with ARs and accessories as Karl did, so all 3 of the possible origins of the PDQ lever seem likely. I totally understand if you're still uncomfortable and given the circumstances appreciate that you still replied to me.

There's a court case against KE Arms, Russel, Nealon (the Cav Arms founder,) and Brownells vs GWACS. Probably just a money grab by GWACS after giving up with the MkIII lower, but there are a few spicy allegations that don't fully make sense to me. So far there's only jurisdictional legal motions according to PACER docs. You can google KE Arms vs GWACS and get the background from casetext.

To give you some background on who I am, I run a tiny Youtube channel by the same name (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCu2Rff0Gqzo7GYthoP91KLg.) I was doing videos on the forward assist and featuring clips of Karl and Ian (among others) and why they are wrong before this was a court case. It was posted earlier in the thread by someon else with examples of ISIS fighters using it, but tranny jannies here (and it seems many other guntubers/enthusiasts) cannot properly comprehend the nuances of the forward assist and they moved it. Part 2 of the Rittenhouse series is in the works.

GWACS Armory v KE Arms if anyone wants to look into it. I know nothing other than the hit on searching those two names.
