Pretty much every gun youtuber. So many of them have MAGA vibes. I used to like garandthumb, but his constant anti lgbt quips in the intros made it too hard to give him views

Should try out InRangeTV.

As for why? Let me post the first thing you see on their website.

"InRange is a media and community building project that is actively anti-racist, pro human liberation and LGBTQ+ rights. We cover firearms, history, and the sociological impact of these topics with a focus on empathy and humanity. We produce content on modern firearms, historical firearms, competition, training, education, and the social impacts of firearms, the good and the bad. "

He has never fought to preserve a bridge with bigoted, hate spreading assholes. In fact, he burns them like Sherman, and makes sure the public sees it in all its ugliness and glory.

I'll vouch for this person. Did a brutality.

I know Karl and Ian used to do content so I’m wondering if that speaks to Ian’s politics.

[-] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

I honestly don't think its worth speculating about, since theres no way to know for sure until he shares it himself... Besides, regardless, theres enough other stuff to skew your view on him if you are so inclined to not really need to worry about the speculation.

My only complaint about Karl is he seems a bit like an ass, but that might be a taste thing. Some people like an aggressive, yet well researched, video.

[-] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

I dont know if I could say aggressive, so much as passionate.. Though he can get aggressive against injustice and wrong doing.

but just because I view it one way, doesnt mean you can't view it different way.

Did Forgotten Weapons ever get that way? I liked his historical backgrounds and detailed breakdown of the mechanics of the actions.

[-] dual_sport_dork@lemmy.world 11 points 6 days ago

I don't think I've ever seen Ian touch on any political topic other than those directly pertinent to whatever he has on the bench in front of him at that exact moment, and even then he's been 100% factual without appearing to insert any type of opinion into it. It's really rather astonishing how he manages to do that so consistently especially given the nature of, well, all of his peers.

[-] CookieOfFortune@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

Does Ian still hang out with Karl from InRangeTV? Because InRangeTV now does a ton of civil rights historical content. I suspect that might speak of Ian’s politics if they’re still friends.

[-] KeithD@lemmy.nz 2 points 5 days ago

I think Karl and Ian had a falling out over Ian's desire to avoid politics, not over his politics per se. I haven't seen anything lately than suggests they ever hang out anymore. Ian still goes to shooting events Karl is involved in, I think, so it can't be too acrimonious.

[-] Th3D3k0y@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

I haven't heard much in that vein from Kentucky Ballistics

[-] KittyCat@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

He's probably the only gun YouTuber I can't really read. If he's conservative he's doing a very good job keeping all that shit out of his videos.
