is Karl and Ian the face of gun culture?
Is Karl and Ian the face of gun culture?
No. The face of something is the most prominent image of it, and nobody that isn't already into guns (whether they're noguns or not) gives a fuck about Ian. The actual face is the NRA, bubba shooting tannerite and whoever does FPSrussia type shit now that hes gone.
Demolition Ranch?
No, 95% of gunowners don’t like communists
>ywn ooze cool and get all the chicks like ian in that outfit
>neither will ian
Ian is married.
He already got the only chick that matters.
isn't his wife like 10 years older than him?
Irrelevant, she's hot.
My only complaint here is that Ian has his Aloha shirt tucked in when they are specifically designed to be untucked.
First Gospel of Gun Jesus is due soon.
Probably Demolition Ranch and GY6 Vids. Also, most of the gun community doesn't like Anti-fa.
I'm actually genuinely curious what his wife looks like now.
The blonde in the f2000 video.
Fishgun grandma?
>blonde
I thought she was going to be an extremely large breasted ara-ara like This is 2000% less cool. She looks like Anti-fa too. Also, fish gun is gross looking.
Ian's a pretty cool and chill guy, though I wish he would put a little more effort into the technical aspect of shooting videos. I know that he hates it, but at the same time I don't really care that he hates it because I can just watch something else if his videos aren't good enough. Unsteady camerawork, blurry focus, awkward shots, bad audio - they're almost never dealbreakers, but they're also the only thing holding back his videos from having that completely professional sheen. That said, "professional sheen" isn't really what sells his channel, and the videos don't need to do more than deliver the content. Still, though I don't get the sense that it's holding the channel back it's also not doing it any favours.
Karl covers a more diverse range of subjects and is more willing to hold and advocate for strong opinions. He's generally level-headed and obviously smarter, more impartial, and more capable of evaluating ideas than the average person. However, his willingness to take a position has two correlate problems. Firstly, sometimes I feel he rushes into a position before he should. But that's not a dealbreaker, and it's somewhat redeemed by how he can reason himself out of a position he shouldn't be in even if he shouldn't have been so eager to take it to start with. It's not that bad. The more serious problem is that if he's got a strong opinion about something that I don't care about then his serious and intense manner of discussion can be boring - he doesn't appear to be concerned with bringing the audience with him when he goes to talk about something. That's fine if you're only interested in reaching people who already care about it, but it's not what I would do. When he forms a strong opinion in opposition to mine, I think that the lack of 'bringing the audience with him' shows more clearly, because when you're on the opposite side of him he comes off more as ranting than as compelling.
Still, these aren't big problems.
This is fitting. What do you think their roles will be after the means of production have been seized
Ian will be assigned to gulag.
Guns grandma will not survive the revolution.

I'm not sure what that second video has to do with anything besides being a collaboration some cherrypicker made.
The first video I'm not going to watch until you timestamp.

The divide and conquer shills are just getting desperate at this point.
(I have no idea what this post means or what it's directed at)
You're a big boy, yes.
Actually not a bad embodiment of 2 big segments of gun culture.
>educated history dude, mechanically knowledgeable, a decent shot, enjoys history more than shooting
>decently educated and intelligent dude, likes shooting more than history, hard to tell koolaid from fact, too intense for most people
Yes. And royal nonesuch.
No, its hickok and iv8888 for better or worse.
>t. buttmad libtard
More like buttmad anti-gun or nu-Jow Forums retard because I'm not budging from your propaganda. Unlike you and the people you create, I'm not a reactionary brainlet.
only when counting views...
To me they both are just some dudes filming themselves shooting guns. No culture whatsoever.
These American gun amateurs were in the Binland again.
Karl is more than "decently educated", he's more educated than Ian. You also didn't mention he's a much better shooter than Ian, which is good for their InRange stuff. Ian is more of an average, and Karl is a much higher skilled tester.
>propaganda
are you saying he's not a leftist? why does he support far-left organizations? why does he shit on Trump at every chance he gets? why was he put on a terrorist watch list? could it be because he's antifa? I'm just asking questions. something that libtards such as yourself get mad about.
Just because Trump appeals to the right wing, does't mean if you support him you're a commie.
actually, it means that you're not a supporter of 2A and that you support anti-gun commie leftists instead.
Heh heh, nah.
He LITERALLY said he was a socialist. Then when he posted that "lol it was a meme!" No one believed him cuz of all the shit he has been saying, doing, and supporting. The "lol it's just a meme" bullshit doesn't work anymore cuz everyone knows that Ian is a dirty anti-2A commie. And then there is Karl "Knowing that Jow Forums exists is knowing too much about Jow Forums" kansada
>why does he shit on Trump at every chance he gets?
Probably because Trump was vocally willing to acquiesce to knee-jerk reactionary cries for gun control in the wake of the Vegas and Parkland shootings. It's the reason he no longer has my vote.
I support Trump because I am a commie
Show me where.
>Trump
>Pro 2A
Heh.
Where is evidence for any of these things? For someone so insistent on their accusations, you sure lack any proof for any of the things you're charging Ian/Karl with. And I mean PROOF, as in, working and reliable links/archive pages, not fake screenshots and massive jumps in logic.
lol'd. then explain why he hated Trump even before the election.
libtards such as yourself always ignore logic.
proof of what? can't you fucking read this thread?
>the face of gun culture
If they are, we're fucked.
>dodging my clear question
I can read this thread. Where's the proof of him being an anti-fa communist?
>Ian literally denies white genocide in South Africa
There is no white genocide in South Africa, just a bunch of shitty reporting from right wing pundits based on sincere but incredible statistics from pressure groups in South Africa stretched to absolute breaking point by demagogues.
>worked with a gun banning commission in the UK
It's not Ian's job or even responsibility to be an advocate for US-style firearms laws in foreign countries.
>and is a self proclaimed communist/socialist
I doubt it, but even if he were - so what? Are you just quietly angry that a communist is more productive and commensurately more wealthy than a good goy capitalist like yourself? Is that not how Fox News tells you the world should work.
Fucking hell.
What is it about gun ownership that makes people fucking insufferable? As soon as firearms are involved, any chance of articulate and impartial discussion goes out the fucking window. A minor youtube e-celeb isn't advocating for my special snowflake vision of gun laws in a foreign country he is a fucking tourist in on the other side of the world? Break out the nooses and lampposts!
You should turn your gun on yourself faggot.
Psyop, but thankfully most of Jow Forums knows better now
ok Karl.
I'm talking as an embodiment of the two main types of gun owners I've run into. Yes Karl is a better shooter. Like it or not, Ian appears better educated. That has to do with "refinement" for lack of a better term. And again corresponds with these two subcultures. It's not that the people like Karl aren't smart. It's that they lose the ability to say "this is my take, there are others". In fact it's because they're so smart that they try to save others from their wrong opinions, which translates to what we term "sperging" on the interwebz and 'being autistic' in meatspace.
and they say Ian doesn't lurk anymore.

That's a trap, guys. Ian didn't marry hir until the same-sex marriage laws passed.

The US really is the world police.

No.
Now fuck off
Can some post proof Ian is really a communist? I really like his videos but if he’s really a communist I can no longer watch him. I lived under the communist in the 80’s it was hell. communist should be crushed with extreme prejudice
What makes you think you know more about South African politics than actual South Africans?
>"HURR BUT HOW DO YOU KNOW WHAT SOUTH AFRICANS THINK"
Because I get my news from someone other than Tucker Carlson, so it includes relevant viewpoints from places where the news is happening so that I can peruse the evidence and form an opinion, rather than have my opinions served up fresh and ready for me to regurgitate elsewhere.
It's a little bit harder to live this way, because it requires actual thought, but the upside is that I don't look like a fucking idiot when discussing anything more complicated than "pull trigger go bang."
shut the fuck up you worthless leftist nigger

Cry more faggot, revolution now.

one day you will hang form lamp post you worthless nigger
>What makes you think you know more about South African politics than actual South Africans?
You didn't answer this question.
I have become invested in SA after I found out what's going on there to the point where I started to look for SA on sites such as interpals to get first person view of what's going on.
Each South Afrikaners that I managed to contact at best were saying that situation isn't exactly good with ANC.
Now what makes you think that leftist subhuman trash like you knows what's going on in there.
do they still sell MUH INJUNS ARE BEING GENOCIDED BY THE EVIL WHITE MAN t-shirts? kek
is that his mom? she looks 20 years older than him.
white women age like shit user
I am extremely skeptical that anything you just said is true, but I will give you the benefit of the doubt (something that you point-blank refuse to give to me) and carry on as if I believe you.
So, assuming that you've spoken to a handful of random people, they've told you that the relationship between whites and blacks in South Africa is fraught. A fucking child could have surmised as much.
I DON'T think I know what's going on in there, which is why I defer to people like The Economist's Chief of the Africa Bureau, or Judd Devermont at the CSIS, or Patrick Gaspard, the former ambassador to South Africa - actual experts.
>"but that's just an appeal to authority"
Sure, much like trusting a doctor to do a heart surgery rather than a hobo is an appeal to authority. The difference between actual news and Tucker Carlson is that actual news accurately reports what is happening, and then lets you make up your own mind (outside of editorials). I guarantee that's not what you've been reading because you pick low-quality sources of information because you're more interested in "news" that reinforces your ideology rather than news that informs you. I bet you couldn't even name one news source you actively listen to that has a slant you disagree with. I could name about four.
The truth about the Africa situation, as I understand it, is that farm murders are at a 20-year low and the statistics don't record whether blacks or whites are the ones being murdered anyway; and the much-feared expropriations were a mere bill (protip: things are bills because they don't have enough support to be laws), about which the ANC government had been making direct statements like "we are not Zimbabwe" - a bone to the blacks angry at continuing inequality in South Africa, rather than a concrete agenda; policy very much still in formation (hence: a bill).
You're just dumb and wrong and I suggest you be quiet.
>Part 1 of 3
Okay so I see these threads quite often on here, I’m a fan of Ian and Karl, and I’m also on the (far) left, so let me see if I can add anything to the conversation and address some of the recurring discourse I see around Ian and Karl from my perspective.
Before I get started let me tell you where I’m coming from:
>I’m a UK resident (hur dur nogunz)
>I target shoot regularly (centrefire bolt action and rimfire), as well as clay shooting, I love it and I’ve been doing it for around 10 years.
>I am ideologically on the far-left of “acceptable” UK politics, by American standards this probably puts me on the extreme end of your spectrum.
>I do not see a conflict between gun ownership and left politics. Marx and Engels affirm that “the workers must not be disarmed under any circumstance blah blah”, I think knowing how to handle guns and familiarity with guns is good practice as a leftist. The idea of disarmament is liberal, bourgeois politics in my opinion.
>If I were in the United States, I would arm myself as much as I could afford, and join a left-wing militia or similar organisation.
>Part 2 of 3
So, with that out of the way let me talk about Ian and Karl, and why I think they have more of a noticeable leftist following.
As a left-wing person into guns we are starved for content on youtube and in general.
Most of the guys making content come across as crazy, nationalistic gunfuckers who probably have a Rhodesian flag on their wall. Ian and Karl project a much more measured persona, they repeatedly affirm they aren’t interested in investing the firearms with political meaning based on their historical context. Ian’s reaction to the FAL video was a good example of this. Karl is the more overtly political, he comes across as the “just stay the fuck off my property” tendency of libertarian. A libertarian who doesn’t like government, but also distrusts big business. Personally I have a lot of issues with libertarianism, but I can respect this position much more than the more ANCAP, or weirdly religious tendencies I see online. Karl especially has also on several occasions shown an awareness (limited but still an awareness) for things like racism, over-policing, Native American genocide and so on. Again, this is something that makes the content more approachable for someone like me.
>I’m also on the (far) left,
Don't even bother posting other parts. You're one of those idiots from /leftypol/ trying to colonize Jow Forums.
>Part 3 of 3
>Ian is a Communist
This is kinda asinine. Just because someone doesn’t overtly miss Rhodesia or support Trump, doesn’t mean they’re a Communist. I get the impression that Ian (like Karl) is probably a libertarian with more of an anti-government/anti-corporate streak than most people are used to seeing online. I should point out that I’d also direct this criticism at leftists arguing that Ian and Karl are left. They are just two guys with their own political beliefs, making thoughtful and interesting content in a space that could use more of it.
I wouldn’t be surprised if we start seeing more shooters who are in line with groups like the Socialist Rifle Association, Redneck Revolt, the John Brown Gun Club etc. making youtube content. Until then though, left wing enthusiasts will probably gravitate more toward Ian and Karl’s content.
I hope this all makes sense.
>all those people claming leftist trying to colonize Jow Forums like in that screencap were right
Shame that every country that had communist revolution ended up having shit tier gun laws.
I've been here over a decade m8.
I've been browsing/posting on Jow Forums for a lot longer than I've been a leftist, and I've never even been on leftypol. I'm just trying to add to the conversation in this thread.
>Actuall fucking pinkos posting on Jow Forums
Ian isn't a communist. Keyboard warriors have been smearing him since he wiped the comment section on his Rhodesian FAL video and said that there isn't an ongoing genocide in SA.
I'm about 80% in agreement here.
Yes user, Indians have chill lives today and totally don't drink themselves to death on shithole reservations.
Unedited saus plz
>drink themselves to death on shithole reservations.
Sounds chiller than my life.
You aren't wrong
