Until I see otherwise, I'll assume that ban is DOA in the Senate. If it had a chance this go-around, the GOP would have cucked on that as well.

The gun control faction has all but abandoned legislation. The real threat will be from public health orders, which arenot beholden to any other agency.

Maybe I'm just not used to GarandThamb's style, but how that's different from his usual on-screen awkwardness? The guy is stiffer than concrete at the best of times.

TL;DR the corpo Sig guy had no personality/rapport with GT and made it feel awkward AF despite GTs efforts

God, there is a lot of moments in this that are awkward as hell. And its not really GTs fault, its that the Sig guy just gives him nothing to play off of throughout the video. So, throughout GT will make what would be one of his usual jokes, the guy completely deadsticks him, and GT ends up having to throw a quick caveat to keep the thing moving.

Like the exchange:
"I want to go ahead and takes this like we always do, what the Marine Corps loves, tip to butt"
(Sig guy stays completely stonefaced, GT looks towards the crew to save the bit)
"We have a Marine here, so I have to harass him"
(Sig guy stays stonefaced, video awkwardly continues on)

It's just the awkwardness of someone hiring a comedian to perform for a small audience, and then no one in the audience laughing when the comedian tells the jokes. Seeing a guy make jokes and get totally sandbagged is always going to be awkward as fuck, even if the comedian is making good jokes and the audience is just being weird.

Also, random points where the Sigbot plows over GT doing a decent job directing the conversation to rattle off the Sig corpo copy:


Sig should have probably sent one of their marketing guys in for the video, since those are usually the 'personable' people in any corporate structure. Instead they sent in the ex-ranger guy Sig uses to give the M250 cred while shopping it around, that they've kinda beaten Sig corporate culture into. Like, you can feel the parts the guy has memorized to recite, pretty much.

Like, St. John deffo has the credentials:

But he just always feels like a guy that Sig hired because he checks the boxes of "decorated Ranger veteran" that they hand scripts of Sig corpo copy to memorize and recite:


It just feels really....artificial? Sterile? To me, at least. Like, if you interjected with a joke or a question in the middle, he'd be awkward as fuck about it. It doesn't even have to be some slimy marketing employee, it just would be nice if their main rep for this thing had some personality. It's not an impossible ask, since someone like Pat McNamara would check all the cred boxes to, but actually has an engaging personality (imo):


But Sig probably wouldn't hire someone like Pat, because Pat would have too much risk for them, on the chances he goes 'off script' and says something that hasn't been approved by Sig exec leadership and then signed off on by the marketing team. They're willing to lose the charisma factor to mitigate risk, which is very corporate of them.

So, yeah, TL;DR the Sig guy is awkward as hell and feels like a souless corpo drone in the video.

The sig guy is a glorified booth-rep, he's fine in videos where the interviewer smiles and nods along with everything he says, and despite my feelings on his shilling, GT doesnt work like that. He does a good job presenting to the average Joe(me) why the m250 is a leap above its predecessors.

I dunno guys it’s not like he doesn’t also talk about right to privacy issues, innocent gun owners being shot by the cops, and about how to make your own guns in the event you can’t buy them….yes it’s always and only about transsexuals because TacticoolGF was on the show once a year and a half ago.

Buddy, if you're not joining in on the fun it's fine. Just don't try to defend someone who takes himself as seriously as Karl does. He's a sped, and we're mocking him for being a sped. If his entire focus were the right to privacy, innocent gun owners being shot by cops, and how to source your own guns in the even of a ban, we'd love the dude. But he does all that and all the cringeworthy bullshit we keep talking about here.

In short, we're here to talk about the hobby and to mock people. Shit or get off the pot.

Wrap some steaks around that barrel and take it out to range day and you'll get the best grill-marks in your grillin' life. Bonus: built-in cordite-smoking for extra flavor.

Speaking of guns & food, I found some spaghetti in my 303 ammo! Isn't that awesome!?NoTouchaMahSpagett!.jpg
Mommy doesn't like cooking spaghetti though... *sigh*

You guys got any cool recipes I can try out after she goes to bed?

New preview picture from Garand Thumb for an upcoming video, which seems to be showing Garand going full eye candy mode to drum up views for his videos in terms of channeling all of his super sexy daddy energy he got when he grew his mustache.

@Trig.Point​

Can we change the sub-title from "Currently focused on documenting the descent of Karl Kasarda" now?

- Karl, whatever his flaws may be, is not descending.
- the original drama was driven by fake screenshots.

Maybe something like "Internet Famous Gun Nuts" or something else that summarizes the whole thread?

I agree. Karl is not descending, he is expanding. Because he is fat!
