We won a victory in Colorado killing the assault weapons ban but something was brought to my attention the gun community should do more to speak out against. Influencers.

We ran into this in 2013 with the recalls. Everyone was telling us "You can't win you can't win. " and that was from both sides of the aisle.  Now the same voices are there they have just changed.  There are certain guntubers who came out repeatedly and said "You can't fight this. The ban will pass etc etc.

This is one of those channels below.
Colorado's Assault Weapons Ban Is Coming & Why You Need To Stock Up ASAP


So while some may think they help....They actually hinder. And then you have guys like Brandon Herrera who while he may not be everyone's cup of tea showed a set and showed up when it counted and actually made the committee look like a bunch of idiots.

Not all Guntubers are the enemy but there are some that are in it for sales and views.

Just food for thought. Don't let anyone tell you it can't be done. We have a God given right to resist.  We only lose that right if we don't use it.

Right now we have 4 that are sitting within the walls of the senate and only a few that made it to the Governors desk. He signed only one. That speaks volumes.

Never stop fighting.  I kept hearing about how the ban will pass. I know colorado politics deeply. I got involved in 2013. There's a whole other side to our state people don't see.

I have a channel with a series I JUST started that lives to keep guntubers accountable. I just did one on legally armed America for his stance on teacher carry.

With that said, mrgunsngear is a friend to the 2a. He does qualify this as a "probability", but he also brings attention to the 2a aspect of it all instead of just the written words on paper.

I haven't seen him do anything that needs calling out, including the video in op. Keep scrutinizing though, I will certainly call him or any other guntuber out when they are damaging to the 2a.

It is true, like it or not.  In gaming, there are often youtubers that are "community contributors" or the like.  The are just players but with a youtube channel that has become very popular with a particular game.  They hold so much sway and clout that what a particular youtuber says will often sway masses of players to one side of an issue or the other.  They hold the power to influence both opinions and wallets.  As such, the companies that make the game will often cater to them in some way.  

They are not at all employees of the company. In that they are not on the payroll, but they hold such power to influence customers that the developing company recognizes that they must at consider the influence, offer them a channel of communication to the company, consider their feedback and perhaps form a partnership with them.

In this way, they absolutely influence their viewers, the direction of the product and in some cases the company.

I didn't watch the video yet but Mike's channel is promoting 2A and bringing awareness to what current legislation is passing, as well as directing people towards organizations like GOA to help combat the legislation. He used to be a member here, haven't seen him post in a while though.

So what did he do that was wrong exactly? Why is making people aware of anti-2A legislation and directing people to GOA/FPC/NAGR a bad thing? What advocacy have you done for the 2A?

I don't disagree at all.  I guess it's my own personal problem with the word and what it entails.  I have the same problem with the media using the word "elites".  Like these people are somehow our overlords and know better.  I guess for most, they are.  I suppose I'm not quite ready to comply just yet.

It has less to do with influencers than the party control of the state.

Washington State

In 32 years, WA has been completely run by the Democrats 18 times. And with how most state politicians are beholden to Democratic-leaning voters (read: donors), most Republicans won't stand up and fight for the citizens. That's how we ended up with private gun sales requiring background checks and extended waiting periods, removing the CPL exemption.

Every anti-gun legislation I opposed in the last 10-12 years I wrote to my elected representatives and the bill sponsor(s). I always got a form letter response that clearly outlined what they planned to do, regardless of how their constituents leaned on the subject. Surprise, it was an expository "I support the 2A, BUT" letter. Even the public testimonies were stacked for the anti-gun crowd. 300-400 people willing to testify for rights being stripped away, 2000 to testify to keep our rights. On the day of testimonies, the airtime was dominated by antis. I think a few years ago they didn't even let the pro-gun audience testify.

So it's not the influencers.

If anything the gloom and doom videos actually made me more determined to help get this bill killed.

Part of the reason I love this state like I do. Everyone just sees Denver and Boulder almost the whole state thinks drastically different than those in that area.  Our problem is we don't fight hard enough. I've left local republican meetings damn near screaming because they already made up their mind it's an uphill battle. I'm a former Democrat.  I switched parties because I believe in a lot of aspects of Conservatism. Not all but most. The CO republican party makes me sick.

It's Grass roots activism in this state that can move mountains if enough get behind and push.

Right wing media is the quintessential example of this.

It’s outrage porn, pure and simple. They get you riled up and angry but never give you an outlet or call to action. There is never a message at the end to write your reps or vote with your wallet.

They want the left to keep doing the things they are doing, because that means clicks and views, and clicks and views = $$$.

He explained why he thought it would pass. Colorado has a Democrat super-majority in the house and senate. The appelate court is also stacked with anti gun judges. Most of the lawsuits for 2a, like the brace and bumpstock, get tied up for years in the court system. I think most people expected that to be the case here.

He was laying the law out and explaining the implications it could have and how it could affect you if it does.

He then follows that up by providing ways people can get engaged and involved to fight legislation like this. Getting involved with gun rights advocacy groups. At no point has he ever told people not to fight.

It's tempting to take the money for these things. I had to cut back to maybe two per month, and then choose things that wouldn't piss of my audience. Which means things I actually like and use myself. In reality, practicing law is mostly you don't turn down unpopular cases that pay well. In the content creator business, whoring something your audience doesn't like really hurts your credibility. In the practice of law, nobody blinks at the reality that you are there to make money. With influencer stuff, it's like how dare you earn money, lol. With the gun tubers, the platforms have throttled them, so the brand deals I would think are a large share of the revenue.

I am not advocating that anyone give up fighting ever.

But people should be aware that

Colorado's house has 65 representatives.

45 of them are Democrat

If a bill gets to the house, in order for it to be shot down, 14 of them are going to have to vote against it.

Do you believe that will happen?

And if so what are the names of the 14 democrats you believe will change sides?

I know the bill didn't make it, I'm just saying based on that info I think he was justified in his opinion. Important to remember with that super majority they will likely try again. Which should motivate people to do something about it. Especially during an election year.

It's not being Defeatist it's just being prepared. Get out and fight it. Stay informed on current legislation by watching people like Mike who track it. Also if you aren't donating to GOA/FPC/NAGR and you're involved in this conversation you are a hypocrit.

Youtube has the ability to create significant revenue stream for people.

People have the responsibility to determine for themselves why they are being presented information. They don’t always have the ability.

The worst “guntuber” is better than anything offered on legacy TV and better than any Fudd allowed to publish in magazine publications.

I think OP called out one of the good ones. FWIW

There's a lot of influencers I don't watch. Like most of them.

I DO think it's important to get the word out about stuff like the Colorado AW Ban and painting it with it's realistic chances of passing can serve as a catalyst to get people stirred up. With their constituents riled up, some politicians will fold on legislation, especially if they think it's going to hurt their re-election chances.

I don't watch Herrera very often, but I DO follow him on X and am closely following his bid to win a seat in Texas congress. He's been walking the walk and is running against a guy for whom the term "RINO" seems generous. I'm completely on-board with his campaign. I wish I could vote for the guy.

This, I don’t understand the hatred for the ‘business model.’ Let’s face it, it’s part entertainment, part education and part salesman. So what?

At the end of the day all these influencers are a net positive for the 2A getting more and more people into guns. That undermines the gun grabbers agenda.

That’s my point, video games also has some net positive influence on converting people. To my knowledge no one is forced to watch gun-tubers and while some of them are cringey, they provide a valuable service.

I doubt we’d have Constitutional Carry in so many states as we do today without the influence of strong 2A supporters. Places like Co, NY, NJ, CA, WA, etc is precisely what the left desires to do nationwide. The political realities in those states allow them to do what they’re doing and we have to be honest about the political landscape.

The topic of Abortion springs to mind but that’s another subject all together.

The brand deals are a way around the platforms censorship as well. You can make a demonetized video, privately financed with a third party brand deal. The problem is then that YouTube throttles you in the algorithm if the video is demonetized. But that's a good reason to support the brands willing to support conservative or 2A channels.

His video will probably inform more of the youtube generation of whats happening than all the huffing and puffing on ARF combined. And a few more ARs in their hands will generally be a good thing long term.

I would have preferred a contact the legislature links, at least he mentioned donating to fight this even if it was RMGO (but who in state is better?). But the wide spread complacency that it won't pass will deter more people than the doom forcast.

Colorado is screwed because too many people didn't vote R untill the D-bags came after something they cared about.

The brace issue is another example of them making things as confusing as fuck for anyone looking for info.  They are a net drag overall.

Don't make the mistake of thinking they live in our world, they don't. Even on GD, we have professional Influencers who push agendas. For 30 pieces of silver, they would sell us out. I don't trust anyone who shines Putin's or Xi's boots and then waves the US flag. There is nothing right about that picture.

How many GD posters are "blackpilled" types who routinely post "voting doesn't matter"  or "if voting mattered they wouldn't let us do it" or other similar stuff?
