Should Calguns be on YouTube?

[AndrewMendez]

I was looking for pro 2A Vids on YouTube, and was blown away, as to how many Anti 2A Vids I found! I even searched for AB962 and only found 1 video! Do you think it would be worth it, to put up some 2A Movies on sites like YouTube? Any one have AV experience??

It's certainly an idea worth considering, I believe that the more our fellow Americans are properly educated about firearms and the people who own them the more it will help the cause of 2A.

I think it makes great since. I have a teenage brother, and all his friends spend hours per week, looking up lame pointless videos! We might as well give them something solid to look up, maybe even rekindle an obsession with firearms?

You'll never change a weinee, but what the hell give it a try.

The vids wouldn't be aimed at anti gunners, they would be aimed towards people who are on the fence about the 2nd A - those in the middle ground who could sway either way depending on what influences they encounter.

I think it's a great idea. I'll PM Wildhawker with this thread and see what he thinks.

I think it is a great idea. Fight fire with fire. Let the people hear both sides of the story.

Right about to head out the door to J&R for the event there and then on to a dinner engagement with the wife (who I've seen a grand total of 4 hours this week), but I'd like to explore this concept further; I promise to come back to the thread very soon.

I think it's a good idea. One thing I notice, though, is that even though anti 2A fanatics tend to throw up a lot of videos, you'll notice the vast majority of commenters see through their BS. Usually the comments from Americans are vastly pro 2A, the Antis are generally from the UK, and rarely some big city Yanks....

I was watching some particularly bad ones a month or so ago, the user was something like "closethegunshowloophole" and their vids were just spreading misinformation after feel good misinformation.

I have some pretty decent A/V experience and equipment, and am conversant with the editing needed to put something like this up, and I'd be happy to help.

[BigDogatPlay]

I'd be happy to contribute scripting and voice over narration. This is a great idea and I think we should move it forward.

I think Youtube could be a great vehicle to support our hobby

You must have one heck of a wife

If anyone wants to help with making the "How to be an American" video series I have been thinking of that would be rad. As it stands now, elsensei and I are looking to re-do the OC videos...
