Quoted: Go back several years when they did collaborate and you can see a difference in demeanor then. People also do have friends that then do things like go on radical diets, change their appearance (weight, hair, clothing), and start hanging around weirdos, and gradually get weird. People do drift apart. Business partners also sometimes end up in business with people who started one way and then with success or failure they change, or minor aspects of their personalities are magnified by that success or failure, or are magnified by time. And if you're the ultimate "in-betweener" who has friends in every clique, you don't necessarily view that friend as someone who needs cut off, but you may keep them a little further away for business reasons, while neither condemning nor condoning their changes in behavior or other company. Ian wisely sticks to being scholarly and neutral on pretty much all but tech matters and his love of France. Karl's statements and actions (whether adored or loathed) speak for themselves. I suspect Russell didn't know or think of the things floridacop found because either again he didn't know or else didn't assign importance to it because that's not the same face he deals with. Puts him in a shitty position if his business partner is spouting leftist revolutionary satanist trans intersectionalist identitarian diatribes, though. https://y.yarn.co/5dc57e1b-c830-4b88-b71f-93ae3c126028_text.gif View Quote |

Agreed.

What a cluster….good job at floridacop and others exposing this shit.
lol at anyone still defending them. |

About the only thing that hasn’t come up yet is him being a full blown child abuser

The online predators in Floridacop's town probably had to move away.

Quoted: Honestly does it really matter? It seems like stirring the pot would only get more of his antifa sycophants buying more community defense rifles. He's already said they've made them a lot of money. View Quote Doing nothing has gotten this country to where it's at now. I would bet way more people bought stuff from KE Arms based on wanting to support the industry against anti gunners, rather than everyone that buys from KE being an antifa supporter. The truth about what Karl and friends stand for should get out so folks can make an informed decision on where to bestow their patronage. The fact that Karl had to suck up to the community he hates to get popular for years and only once he has popularity, start to show his real colors should answer the question for anyone. Should. The left-handed shooters comments are incredibly disappointing and short sighted. Russel claims he started competitive shooting to get some sort of legitimacy in the gun business since he had no LEO or military background. Is Russel now saying that in life before Karl, he has secretly despised the community he has been a part of for what 16 years by his words. Is the far left enough to keep KE afloat? Ian is a tough one, at the very least since his Kickstarter stuff for his books has been doing very well, he is smart enough to keep his mouth shut. I'm not sure how someone doing well selling books about guns in a free society jive with Karls's view of everything is bad and racist. |

No problem. You are doing good work. The truth about him and the rest of the gun owning progressive/leftist/lgbtq agenda needs to get out.

Quoted: Huh? Where have I supported or defended any of these people or their ideas? I'm a 2nd Amendment absolutist. Gun rights are for everyone. Even my political opponents. Even people whose lifestyles I don't agree with. The bill of rights is for everyone. Its disturbing to me that basic American civics are considered leftist today.

Quoted: Well, not literal black sheep. That crew is whiter than an LDS ward in Klan country. View Quote It is interesting that Karl talks so much about inclusion and marginalized people and people of color, but the what very high 90 something percent of his content is him and other white men. According to the internet he has over 1000 videos out there. Inrange was him and Ian. They travelled to Finland, a nice white Nordic country and hung out with white folks. Karl has travelled to New Orleans multiple times and had Deviant Ollum and James Reeves from TFB as guests there or done content with Atun Shei (Andrew Rakich), I really like the one they did begging for money on a live stream while talking about guns using toy guns as props and changing costumes, it was like a SCTV parody. But no people of color or marginalized people of color could be found there to be included in his content. Nope, but just let me or my friend Atun, as white guys tell you about the slave revolts. Maybe I can interest you in some local hate crimes against gays. But strangely I can't find any people of color or gays in this city to tell you the story. Deviant also did some of the camera work for Inrange, as well as collaborating on content posted there. Karl is partnered with Russel Phagan. He has hosted Bloke on the Range, an English ex pat living or working in Switzerland. Such "diversity" and "inclusion". He has done a little cross content with Henry from 9 Hole Reviews, so he has had an asian male on. There was the time he and Ian interviewed a 3 women panel about what gun is best for a man, a tongue and cheek panel that was a parody of the average man recommending really bad choices of guns for women. That panel included our own eesmith, probably because Karl had no idea that she was capable of literally taking down and punching a leftist in the face, repeatedly. He does let Annette Evans (of "On her own" and one of the women from the "panel" above ) post content his channel. And he has had Tacticool Girlfriend on as a guest and at a brutality match. But all in all, I don't see his space featuring a lot of marginalized people or people of color contributing content or supporting segments. No, I see a bunch of white men with re occurring guest spots or being given time. Makes me wonder if he markets himself one way, to get that broad revenue stream, but really doesn't want to personally be too involved in what he generates buzz about and takes credit for. Kind of reminds me of a sleazy televangelical preacher, lining his pockets off of the image he portrays. |

Well, the average antifa, satanist, or marxist club member is an upper middle class or above white family member that always has mom's basement to return to. Seems like he's targeting his chosen audience to give them what they crave, a self-sustaining circle of masturbation that confirms their own biases. After all, it's an arrogant white person's place to tell everyone else how they're not self-flagellating themselves enough for their evil ways. In the end they lack the self-awareness to see they're the problem.
