So a lot of "industry" folks are speaking out.. I think it's good to listen to what some of these folks have to say.
It seems like we have two kinds of guys, wild and crazy vs. well spoken.
I am not sure what I want from this thread.. maybe a good place to collect good commentary, or maybe a discussion about what is good, vs hurtful to the rest of us protecting the 2nd.
Travis Haley
Runs Haley Strategic. He's got a ton of videos out there. Very well spoken. In my opinion rational, and I think helps. Check out his channel if you get a chance. Here is a video he put up recently about his thinking around our situation today:
video -> Travis Haley Speaks on the Second Amendment and Reflections as an American - YouTube
James Yeager
He's an outspoken "redneck" instructor. He recently went on a rant, and subsequently got his concealed permit yanked by the Tennessee powers that be. I've been watching his videos forever. He argues on the internet, he has his own forum where his guys hang out. He hates .40's, mosin nagants, and AR-10's He drops a shitload of F-Bombs.
Here is his "rant" which he edited out the offensive part:
video -> Pack Your Bags Part 1 - YouTube
This is the part he chopped out:
video -> James Yeager (edited out portion) Pack Your Bags Part 1 - YouTube
He has put out a couple more vids "pack your bags 2, and3"
He has a lawyer with him in the 3rd vid.. and does some decent backpedaling.
My question is.. are these both good for our 2nd amendment rights?
I believe it's a pretty good representation of how our community feels. There are guys we all know who are pretty damn fired up, and there are a lot who may be taking a more intellectual approach.
How much is enough (anger/frustration)? What's the right amount of voice? How do you talk to your friends/family co-workers.. what do you say to folks who don't believe firearms are an important privilege to protect?
Also.. are there any good videos you've seen with well thought out statements.. or that are just plain inflammatory but good to watch?
