“The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.” - Thomas Jefferson "A free people ought not only be armed and disciplined, but they should have sufficient arms and ammunition to maintain a status of independence from any who might attempt to abuse them, which would include their own government." - George Washington
And one of the things that people do not understand is that the US constitution actually got the 2A from the VA state constitution which predates the US constitution. Jefferson and Madison were from VA so they paraphrased their own state constitution a lot. But the VA version of the 2A even took it farther. It explicitly states that the people of any state have the right to kick out any militia or army or government force that they deem a threat to their liberty at the point of a gun if they want to. So any idea that the Founders expected us to not be as well armed as the military is absurd when where they got the 2A from in the first place expects the people to chase out any military or government body that they don't want in their state in the first place. You can't expel a military force with just a pitchfork and kitchen knife.
@Logical Means I agree that the Constitution is being eroded. However, it was never supposed to be the law of the land. The founders talked about it as "a compact between the states" not as the law of the land. That is important. Why? Because what is spelled out in the Constitution was not ever supposed to be the law of the land. If there were a convention of states and it became dominated by a bunch of leftists then you could bet your bottom dollar that it would be used to get rid of the 2A. Does that mean that you and I have to surrender our guns? No. Why? Because what is enumerated in the Bill of Rights is not the law of the land but a list of our God given rights that supersede any government. The Founders were not stupid enough to trust that a federal authority would not become despotic and tyrannical and that is what the bill of rights is. It is an acknowledgement of yours and mine God given rights not a spelling out of what our rights are.
We never got a chance to stand up before the law was signed. All of our resistance was after it became law because it was drafted and signed in a late night session. Open to the public for 4 hours before becoming law. Criminal And it seems too me that a lot of pro-2A groups pass off NY like CA. Brushed aside as hopeless and doesn’t make news because it surprises no one.

SWAT is not suppose to be death squads.... but you had a few that did that stupid "No Knock" BS and a few have gotten killed from it. The "No Knocks" and "Red Flag Laws" should be stricken from the books in any states that have it. Goes against our 4th Amendment rights.
Keith Walker not if you want a suppressor. But yeah it shouldn’t be something that has to be done before you get something, I know what you were saying lol
My state (Oregon) has had "Universal Background Checks" for years. Its annoying as hell because the transfer fee can be whatever the shop wants since now you HAVE to use their services. If I buy a gun off the wall at the LGS its 10 bucks, but for a transfer its 20-55 in some shops. Also I sold a long gun to another person private sale, before this law went into effect. Years later I got a call from the FBI asking if I still had it ect. They told me it was seized in a raid with the ATF and FBI a few cities over. I told them I sold it and since I had a bill of sale I made up myself when I sold it, I gave them the buyers info. Sounds like it changed hands a number of times after the guy who bought it from me. But a prime example of how the trace works.
Your Argentine Cavalry Carbine video convinced me to buy one, as well as the short sword!!! They go well with my Ballester Molina and holster. Keep up good work.
Eric, I remember seeing you at the rally in January, thank you again! Aside from the boogaloo what more can we do? I am here in VA and if you have any connection to some sort of help please let us know. We have constitutional lawyers, but apparently we are not able to get this done through the courts. We have tried to keep our rights peacefully when do we have a "2020 Boston Tea Party"?
I'm not Eric but I have a few ideas on the subject. Protests and political activism are critical actions but they will never accomplish the goals we seek. What they will do, however, is garner crucial public attention and support for the cause. If we continue to allow law enforcement agencies/bureaucracies to police their own ranks we can only expect more of the same. The Duncan Lemp case is a prime example. No one will ever be held accountable for his murder because their priorities are the protection of the organization ahead of justice. Take the FBI as another premier example. As long as they are allowed maintain their own internal investigative authority things cannot change. Accountability is necessary in order to protect liberty and there is no such thing as long as the status quo is maintained. Until these organizations fear the people once again, change is not possible. Ultimately, organized resistance will be the necessary action to retake and secure our freedoms. Using the Lemp case as an example once again; if people were to organize and execute a no-knock raid and arrest of the officer who shot him and follow up with a public tribunal where he was treated in the same manner any average criminal would be, then a very clear message would be sent to all wanna be authoritarian tyrants... This is OUR country!
@@Random-wo2gs I totally agree with that. Here is the issue I see, some of the people i served in the Marine Corps with have became LE and support 2A along with the rest of our rights. My issue is how do we weed out the politicians who are stripping away our rights, and convince the rest of the people that they are getting their rights taken because some dont see it. I have a liberal buddy that is an Army vet who thinks we are making a "big deal" over the 2A infringements. He says that "they are just there to protect people, and why do you need more than 1 gun a month". He is a sheeple, but its idiots like him we need to convince.
miles adkins I have friends in the military right now as well and there are a lot of liberals that have that same mindset in our ranks. But what’s really sad is a lot of republicans have that same sentiment too
@@AK545Huskers you are correct and anyone that can read a history book can tell what is going to happen again. Look at any country who has given up their firearms. The people get pulled down by tyrants
I can’t understand how all gun owners aren’t heavily politically engaged by now. Aren’t they mad? They’re enthusiastic enough to watch gun videos on RUclips but don’t care about having their rights threatened and stripped away?? Very strange.
Unfortunately a lot of gun owner's don't see the threat until it's happening in there state like Virginia and other's saying to them selves it'll never happen here and other's just don't listen because they hate politics
It would help a LOT if Virginia and the rest of the country had a functional opposition to the Democrats that wasn't obsessed with abortion and immigrants and teh gays and would just concentrate on defending our constitutional rights. The last Republican gubernatorial nominee wasn't so bad but the reason we got McAwful in the election before that was the GOP kept running nutsacks like Ken Cuccinelli who spent all his time yammering about transvaginal ultrasounds and sodomy.
Aside from what the other commenters stated, another big issue I'm seeing is many gun owners just don't wanna talk about, let alone get into, politics. Heck, vast majority of gun groups on social media will ban you for talking politics!
I really appreciate everything you guys do. You're probably the first gun channel that I've followed, because the video of Chad teaching how to build an AR from parts is how I built mine, step by step. The only part I needed different info was the handguard, because mine's free floating.
Something happens and I will be on my way. I dont care what state if I can get there I will be there. To many people won't do anything unless it's right at there door step. It has to be stopped regardless to where it's at. We are the UNITED States Of America
The DC metro area has taken control of our government here in Virginia. They don't represent the same values or live the same lives as us in the rest of the state.
Greetings from Canada. Today our Prime Minister banned a bunch of non restricted and restricted firearms without going through the legislative process. As a Canadian I feel severely betrayed by my country as it does nothing to prevent crime but alienate Canadian gun owners. From me to my American neighbors don't budge on your freedoms.
Regarding people who complain about your politically-oriented videos, just ignore them. I personally appreciate the information. If someone doesn't like that kind of content, they don't have to watch it, that's all. What's with all of the complaining, anyway? Not all of the firearm-related videos are about guns that I'm interested in, either. So I just skip them. I don't give them thumbs-down or complain about them, for Pete's sake.
@C F Lawmakers don't just automatically obey the constitution. Laws have to be tested in the courts. When a law is passed that's of questionable constitutionality, a lawsuit has to be brought to challenge it. So it's not just blah, blah, blah. It's serious discussion. What would you prefer, that no one should say anything?
@C F silence doesn't seem to be helping anything anywhere in the world on this topic. Show me ANY example in the world where a people prevented tyranny by saying nothing or doing anything about it.
@C F your reply was apparently deleted, but just as well, it was nonsensical. You don't get to punt and pass the buck. You're straight up saying people should shut up about this, but that's insane. Once again, show me *ONE EXAMPLE* where doing nothing, saying nothing, about tyranny prevented said tyranny. *ONE.* You're saying they shouldn't do or say anything, *show us ANY good evidence that doing so would help the situation BETTER than doing something would.*
I’m voting Eric & Chad for 2020 & 2024!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 I’m a 1 issue voter...The Constitution. You f*** with it, or try to give some elementary interpretation of it, you don’t get my vote!!!
My 2A right was made political when full auto was banned. If your comprehension of the 2A stops at “WhAt GlOcK iS BeSt?” then you should just leave anyway.
Thank you for putting this video out. This is something that needs to be out in the open and spoken about in a public forum. It is REDICULOUS to think that during this time of WORLDWIDE crisis, some of our government "Appointed Officials" are taking advantage of this time to push their agenda! "Don't let a good crisis go to waste" This is definitely the point that I see happening currently.
To the folks who don’t like the political videos: if they don’t bring awareness to these issues there won’t be any guns for you to have your little hobby.
Wont happen unless the leadership is changed. The nra has alot of good people in it but it seems moot when the leaders appear to just be using the nra as their personal piggiebank and will back bullshit laws.
I live in northern NY state (St. Lawrence County) and our gun laws are ridiculous. I applied for my pistol permit October 16th, 2019 and it's still going through the process. It takes about a year in this county to go through the whole process and get your carry permit. For a long time concealed carry wasn't an option in my county but that was under the conditions of the previous judge. Concealed carry will be allowed now but you have to take a firearms safety course which I have no problem doing. I just started watching your channel and I enjoy it very much. Thanks guys!
Any one from law enforcement shows up in my house will get lead in a split second. They have their politicians to thank for their funerals. Stop this madness before chaos breaks out. enough is enough.
The biggest problem we have right now is the Supreme Court is refusing to hear any new 2A cases which means the states are going to kick it up a notch and really go after us
For the love of God please don't stop these gun gripes videos. This is one of the best ways to spread knowledge of impending tyranny on all levels of government.
Chad's looking more and more like someone who should be standing in front of me with a chai tea in a Starbucks cup, passionately arguing why citizens don't need AK-15 assault rifles. 😂😂😂 I still think you're awesome, Chad!
You guys do an important job in informing the public about the infringes committed against our rights. Some people may tell you that they don’t want to see it but this is exactly what is helping the 2nd amendment stay alive, Thank you.
Another superb public service announcement brought to you by Eric IV8888 and his faithful sidekick Chad & The Amazing Morphing 'Doo. Expertise, to say the least.
So many of those sitting on their hands; resting on their laurels as it were are the sort of people that think the igloo is inevitable. But if you can't fight the small battles now. How can anyone expect them to fight when it really matters?
fighting those small battles is a bad idea because you are legitimizing their authority through the "democratic" process. Remember, North Koreans vote as well.
@@anarchyorslavery1616 I don't believe that is accurate. I think most of us if given the choice, would not want things to escalate. But we have to exhaust all available methods first before escalating into violence. This is the means of winning war through the hearts and minds. It is indicative of us to win the hearts and minds of the people who can be convinced; that we wish to be left alone and not have our rights infringed upon by the state. We cannot win that metaphorical skirmish if we don't get engaged through the processes available now.
@@anarchyorslavery1616 And if you go off unhinged killing police and federal agents like a mad dog you will be seen as a mere mad man and be put down like a dog. There is a time for diplomacy and a time for action.
Another dangerous aspect of the mandatory reporting of lost or stolen firearms is that if you decide to hide your guns somewhere and use the old "I lost them in a boating accident" line, they can say "Why didn't you report them missing?", so they can get you even if they can't prove you have guns in your possession.
@@robertbogan225 ya it is crazy how they can just say they are scared to justify anything they may do. I live in Maryland and this nanny state bullshit is getting old. We don't have a reasonably obtainable ccw permit and they hit me for 80 dollars for a non dot helmet. My safety should be my concern. Whether it's personal safety or personal protection, it should be up to me how I live and defend my life.
Brilliant explanation of the real truth regarding our rights as Americans. The tyrants want psychological dominance over the people. Is up to us to know our rights and defend them even with our lives if it come to that. GIVING UP IS NOT AN OPTION.
The second amendment is more important now than our forefathers ever expected but this is exactly why we have it and in my book if your a us citizen it's our duty to protect all our rights. The government works for us, some of the Dems these seem to believe we work for them.
We need to train to march as a group at these rallys so we can be taken serious. Otherwise we are just groups of people protesting instead of showing them that we are a force. I'm tired of hearing about quotes on sacrifice and discipline. We need to MARCH in unison at these rallys. That will definitely raise a brow.
In my State of CONNECTICUT the state knows each and every Firearm you purchase and keeps track of it. It is assigned to our Pistol Permit/CCW or whatever you want to call the form of ID.
My state (RI) requires notification of theft of firearms within 24 hours of becoming aware of the theft. If you come home weeks later, finding your house looted, as long as you make a report within a day of knowing it happened, you're ok.
I got some new glasses recently and I was highly amused that the butt-ugly thick plastic frames we called "birth control glasses" in the military back in the 80s are now apparently the height of hipster fashion. (Yeah, I'm old.)
Already a subscriber here and your efforts are always appreciated. You’re misinterpreting the piece about local law enforcement and enforcement of the new laws. There is a common misconception that State Police are the “top cops” in any state. Local Sheriffs are actually “higher ranking” in every case. The Sheriff is an elected official and therefore has more power than the Chief of any State Police. The reason this law now exists is because they’re trying to remove the effectiveness of local law enforcement refusing to enforce tyrannical laws. Northam is literally forcing these laws down our throats in VA. He is attempting to remove any barricade to getting his laws enacted and enforced.
As a resident of Virginia (born and raised) I want to thank you for covering this topic. "Tyranny" is the proper word. I'm fortunate to live in a 2A Sanctuary County but it's still looks scary for our future. Thank you to all the non VA residents and VA residents who came to the rally. We appreciate the support.
@Stephen Tilson obviously you understand the Constitution completely differently than myself and millions of other citizens. I wish you the best of luck with your delusional thoughts.
@Stephen Tilson obviously your life is meaningless if this is how you spend your time...reading and starting arguments and insulting people on RUclips. I own several firearms to protect my family from the crazy people in this world and that is my right as a citizen of the United States of America. Also I enjoy shooting recreationally. It's a hobby like any other hobby. I also breed and sell Tropical Fish. I don't understand your argument or problem with me but I wish you the best. I hope you have a wonderful day.
@Stephen Tilson I guess because I don't agree with you then you have to assume that I'm uneducated and close minded but that just proves that you're the problem not me.

I think we just want a little variety. If he wants to make a politic show he should just make it a series.
GIVE THEM THE BULLETS FIRST
Exactly! You can’t have any guns if they ban them all
@@EthanMcKee. gun gripes is a series and a very important series
@@dealspeed6756 oh wow I never knew that
*My Favorite laws are the "CIVIL ASSET FORFEITURE"*
*I investigated myself and I find NO WRONGDOING!*
The part where "A death squad kicking in my door in the middle of the night to gun down Me, my wife and my dog" struck a deep nerve..
SWAT is not suppose to be death squads.... but you had a few that did that stupid "No Knock" BS and a few have gotten killed from it. The "No Knocks" and "Red Flag Laws" should be stricken from the books in any states that have it. Goes against our 4th Amendment rights.
I have six dogs this strikes me right in the heart, bastards want to hurt my mutts bastards I tell ya.
THAT WORKS BOTH WAYS. THE COPS DON'T TELL PEOPLE WHERE THEY LIVE OUT OF FEAR OF COMING HOME TO A PILE OF ASHES
All of the Sheriff's and deputies standing up for the people are true heroes.
Except those who are refusing to issue pistol purchase permits and have suspended all finger printing :/
Jiva Daya oh my gosh I thought I was the only one that is against my rights
Jiva Daya isn’t fingerprinting and licensing unconstitutional? It’s way late
Keith Walker not if you want a suppressor. But yeah it shouldn’t be something that has to be done before you get something, I know what you were saying lol

@@georgeboultadakis8530 You do know both sides are gun grabbers right?
Yessir! New Braunfels checking-in...
@@badboybootz8 thing is I feel like the Democrats and liberals want to take our guns,
Very good points guys, I really enjoy the gun content but I've been a Gun Gripes fan since the very beginning and continue to look forward to them 👍👍!
We love the badass shooting videos, but this is life or death. No need for an explanation sir. Keep up the great work!
My state (Oregon) has had "Universal Background Checks" for years. Its annoying as hell because the transfer fee can be whatever the shop wants since now you HAVE to use their services. If I buy a gun off the wall at the LGS its 10 bucks, but for a transfer its 20-55 in some shops. Also I sold a long gun to another person private sale, before this law went into effect. Years later I got a call from the FBI asking if I still had it ect. They told me it was seized in a raid with the ATF and FBI a few cities over. I told them I sold it and since I had a bill of sale I made up myself when I sold it, I gave them the buyers info. Sounds like it changed hands a number of times after the guy who bought it from me. But a prime example of how the trace works.
Your Argentine Cavalry Carbine video convinced me to buy one, as well as the short sword!!! They go well with my Ballester Molina and holster. Keep up good work.
No Bersa yet ?
Eric, I remember seeing you at the rally in January, thank you again! Aside from the boogaloo what more can we do? I am here in VA and if you have any connection to some sort of help please let us know. We have constitutional lawyers, but apparently we are not able to get this done through the courts. We have tried to keep our rights peacefully when do we have a "2020 Boston Tea Party"?
I'm not Eric but I have a few ideas on the subject.
Protests and political activism are critical actions but they will never accomplish the goals we seek. What they will do, however, is garner crucial public attention and support for the cause.
If we continue to allow law enforcement agencies/bureaucracies to police their own ranks we can only expect more of the same. The Duncan Lemp case is a prime example. No one will ever be held accountable for his murder because their priorities are the protection of the organization ahead of justice. Take the FBI as another premier example. As long as they are allowed maintain their own internal investigative authority things cannot change. Accountability is necessary in order to protect liberty and there is no such thing as long as the status quo is maintained. Until these organizations fear the people once again, change is not possible.
Ultimately, organized resistance will be the necessary action to retake and secure our freedoms. Using the Lemp case as an example once again; if people were to organize and execute a no-knock raid and arrest of the officer who shot him and follow up with a public tribunal where he was treated in the same manner any average criminal would be, then a very clear message would be sent to all wanna be authoritarian tyrants... This is OUR country!
@@Random-wo2gs I totally agree with that. Here is the issue I see, some of the people i served in the Marine Corps with have became LE and support 2A along with the rest of our rights. My issue is how do we weed out the politicians who are stripping away our rights, and convince the rest of the people that they are getting their rights taken because some dont see it. I have a liberal buddy that is an Army vet who thinks we are making a "big deal" over the 2A infringements. He says that "they are just there to protect people, and why do you need more than 1 gun a month". He is a sheeple, but its idiots like him we need to convince.
miles adkins I have friends in the military right now as well and there are a lot of liberals that have that same mindset in our ranks. But what’s really sad is a lot of republicans have that same sentiment too
@@AK545Huskers you are correct and anyone that can read a history book can tell what is going to happen again. Look at any country who has given up their firearms. The people get pulled down by tyrants
Roy Ayers 276 anywhere near Bedford?
I can’t understand how all gun owners aren’t heavily politically engaged by now. Aren’t they mad? They’re enthusiastic enough to watch gun videos on RUclips but don’t care about having their rights threatened and stripped away?? Very strange.
Unfortunately a lot of gun owner's don't see the threat until it's happening in there state like Virginia and other's saying to them selves it'll never happen here and other's just don't listen because they hate politics
We are training very very hard, all weather climates so hard theres no ammo
It would help a LOT if Virginia and the rest of the country had a functional opposition to the Democrats that wasn't obsessed with abortion and immigrants and teh gays and would just concentrate on defending our constitutional rights. The last Republican gubernatorial nominee wasn't so bad but the reason we got McAwful in the election before that was the GOP kept running nutsacks like Ken Cuccinelli who spent all his time yammering about transvaginal ultrasounds and sodomy.
@@brucetucker4847 best comment in the string.
Aside from what the other commenters stated, another big issue I'm seeing is many gun owners just don't wanna talk about, let alone get into, politics. Heck, vast majority of gun groups on social media will ban you for talking politics!
That barbed wire baseball bat is my focal point in every gun gripe video. Idk why, but it is.
Where is the check/balance to discourage the Supreme Court from intentionally avoiding cases like this?
I really appreciate everything you guys do. You're probably the first gun channel that I've followed, because the video of Chad teaching how to build an AR from parts is how I built mine, step by step. The only part I needed different info was the handguard, because mine's free floating.
Sempre fi marine thanks for keeping us up to date. And time your in VA I would love to take you out to the range. Oohrah
Nfa approved 2 of my suppressors on april 24th, hybrid 46 took 172 days and rebel sos22 only took 91 days, better than Christmas morning
Most people were more worried about SHOTSHOW...smh
I LOVE it when Eric, get's fired up ,you are so right,
I drove from middle Tennessee to Virginia the night before the rally. I would do it again today of need be
We appreciate it!
We need you to drive down here when the s**t pops off
And we appreciate you coming
Something happens and I will be on my way. I dont care what state if I can get there I will be there. To many people won't do anything unless it's right at there door step. It has to be stopped regardless to where it's at. We are the UNITED States Of America
I'm glad you guys are honest about the NRA.
The DC metro area has taken control of our government here in Virginia. They don't represent the same values or live the same lives as us in the rest of the state.
WEVE BEEN DEMOGRAPHICALLY REPLACED!
Thank you guys for everything your doing for the 2nd community.
A reminder: the AWB isn't dead. It's in hibernation until the 2021 session. Get out the vote for 2020, then stretch out those muscles for 2021.
Greetings from Canada. Today our Prime Minister banned a bunch of non restricted and restricted firearms without going through the legislative process. As a Canadian I feel severely betrayed by my country as it does nothing to prevent crime but alienate Canadian gun owners. From me to my American neighbors don't budge on your freedoms.
Word of the day. "DRA-CO-NI-AN". Draconian. Adjective (of laws or their application) excessively harsh and severe.
Thank you
Keep at it guys! Even here in NJ we're trying to turn back the intrusions on the 2A.
THE TIME IS COMING CLOSE MY FRIENDS!!! ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!
"Unicorn farts instead of gold" that mage my morning. Still lol.
Regarding people who complain about your politically-oriented videos, just ignore them. I personally appreciate the information. If someone doesn't like that kind of content, they don't have to watch it, that's all. What's with all of the complaining, anyway? Not all of the firearm-related videos are about guns that I'm interested in, either. So I just skip them. I don't give them thumbs-down or complain about them, for Pete's sake.
@C F Lawmakers don't just automatically obey the constitution. Laws have to be tested in the courts. When a law is passed that's of questionable constitutionality, a lawsuit has to be brought to challenge it. So it's not just blah, blah, blah. It's serious discussion. What would you prefer, that no one should say anything?
@C F silence doesn't seem to be helping anything anywhere in the world on this topic.
Show me ANY example in the world where a people prevented tyranny by saying nothing or doing anything about it.
@C F your reply was apparently deleted, but just as well, it was nonsensical.
You don't get to punt and pass the buck.
You're straight up saying people should shut up about this, but that's insane.
Once again, show me *ONE EXAMPLE* where doing nothing, saying nothing, about tyranny prevented said tyranny.
*ONE.* You're saying they shouldn't do or say anything, *show us ANY good evidence that doing so would help the situation BETTER than doing something would.*
You both would make Great Baptist Preachers. Amen Brothers. Keep your light shining.
I’m voting Eric & Chad for 2020 & 2024!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Research Event 201. Gematria Effect News on RUclips.
Thank you for putting this video out. This is something that needs to be out in the open and spoken about in a public forum. It is REDICULOUS to think that during this time of WORLDWIDE crisis, some of our government "Appointed Officials" are taking advantage of this time to push their agenda! "Don't let a good crisis go to waste" This is definitely the point that I see happening currently.
I don't mean to sound like a hater but I feel like the NRA kind of sold us out
Damn I’m getting some serious Lethal Weapon vibes from Chad! THEM LOCKS LONG BOY! 😂
An anti gun bill in early July, if it is on the 4th I think everyone will be very very pissed
The NEW LAWS START JULY 1 2020.. THE BOOGALOO STARTS 00:01
New laws in Virginia always go into effect on July 1. The regular session of the legislature is over by April even in long years.
Just ordered my first Man Can. Love what you are doing! Keep it up. Just wish I could help more.
To the folks who don’t like the political videos: if they don’t bring awareness to these issues there won’t be any guns for you to have your little hobby.
SCOTUS shouldn't be able to just refuse to hear cases! 😠 If it makes it to that level, they should be obligated to hear it!
The NRA need to get back to constitutional principals. and stand firm, no giving up or into tyranny. fight for the rights of the people. PERIOD..
Wont happen unless the leadership is changed. The nra has alot of good people in it but it seems moot when the leaders appear to just be using the nra as their personal piggiebank and will back bullshit laws.
I live in northern NY state (St. Lawrence County) and our gun laws are ridiculous. I applied for my pistol permit October 16th, 2019 and it's still going through the process. It takes about a year in this county to go through the whole process and get your carry permit. For a long time concealed carry wasn't an option in my county but that was under the conditions of the previous judge. Concealed carry will be allowed now but you have to take a firearms safety course which I have no problem doing. I just started watching your channel and I enjoy it very much. Thanks guys!
Any one from law enforcement shows up in my house will get lead in a split second. They have their politicians to thank for their funerals.
Stop this madness before chaos breaks out. enough is enough.
LOL ok tough guy
Keep up the fight against tyranny
How does a law over ride the constitution? Thought it says “shall not be infringed “ ... or what ?
The biggest problem we have right now is the Supreme Court is refusing to hear any new 2A cases which means the states are going to kick it up a notch and really go after us
For the love of God please don't stop these gun gripes videos. This is one of the best ways to spread knowledge of impending tyranny on all levels of government.
Here is how it is going to go, they will pass whatever they want and people, mostly boomers, will complain but ultimately comply with whatever it is.
Exactly
Yup. As will the rest of the country. Even Georgia and Tennessee.
its unfortunate but you are correct.
Keep up the good work guys thank you.
Chad's looking more and more like someone who should be standing in front of me with a chai tea in a Starbucks cup, passionately arguing why citizens don't need AK-15 assault rifles. 😂😂😂
I still think you're awesome, Chad!
Love you guys. Shit is rough for my industry.. (chef) so these videos really help. Carried everyday at work too. Which isn't popular in restaurants..
16:16 my man Chad calling out the Fed lmao
From a old former marine you guys are awesome.
We are pissed and ain't gonna take it anymore....
Eric for Congress!
You guys do an important job in informing the public about the infringes committed against our rights. Some people may tell you that they don’t want to see it but this is exactly what is helping the 2nd amendment stay alive, Thank you.
Preach it brothers!!!!! I recently found out one of my state senators "whom I have voted for in the past" has come out in support of red flag laws.
Thank you IV8888 ! I like all your videos . The political videos are great info we all have to be in this fight together ! NC standing with VA !!
What do you mean by "Pending Tyranny in VA"? The Seed of Tyranny is alive and growing in VA as it is in many other places here in the United States.
He means the laws that were passed in the last legislative session that are going into effect on July 1.
Another superb public service announcement brought to you by Eric IV8888 and his faithful sidekick Chad & The Amazing Morphing 'Doo. Expertise, to say the least.
When is the open carry rally in Jackson Mississippi?
Thank you for all of your content.
So many of those sitting on their hands; resting on their laurels as it were are the sort of people that think the igloo is inevitable.
But if you can't fight the small battles now. How can anyone expect them to fight when it really matters?
You're so right. We have to give all, in order to keep our rights.
fighting those small battles is a bad idea because you are legitimizing their authority through the "democratic" process. Remember, North Koreans vote as well.
@@anarchyorslavery1616
I don't believe that is accurate. I think most of us if given the choice, would not want things to escalate.
But we have to exhaust all available methods first before escalating into violence. This is the means of winning war through the hearts and minds. It is indicative of us to win the hearts and minds of the people who can be convinced; that we wish to be left alone and not have our rights infringed upon by the state.
We cannot win that metaphorical skirmish if we don't get engaged through the processes available now.
@@MonkiFI we will be like Britain by the time you find all efforts within the ballot box have been exhausted
@@anarchyorslavery1616 And if you go off unhinged killing police and federal agents like a mad dog you will be seen as a mere mad man and be put down like a dog. There is a time for diplomacy and a time for action.
Another dangerous aspect of the mandatory reporting of lost or stolen firearms is that if you decide to hide your guns somewhere and use the old "I lost them in a boating accident" line, they can say "Why didn't you report them missing?", so they can get you even if they can't prove you have guns in your possession.
Yep. If someone burglarizes you, you're responsible. It's the most absurd thing imaginable.
Man I just read about Duncan's murder. That is right by me, who's to say me or one of my friends isn't the next one they kill. It's scary
Didnt even give him a chance to surrender just shot him.
@@robertbogan225 ya it is crazy how they can just say they are scared to justify anything they may do. I live in Maryland and this nanny state bullshit is getting old. We don't have a reasonably obtainable ccw permit and they hit me for 80 dollars for a non dot helmet. My safety should be my concern. Whether it's personal safety or personal protection, it should be up to me how I live and defend my life.
What about Kavanaug in the supreme court's today?
It's not pending; it's there and ongoing >:0
Brilliant explanation of the real truth regarding our rights as Americans. The tyrants want psychological dominance over the people. Is up to us to know our rights and defend them even with our lives if it come to that. GIVING UP IS NOT AN OPTION.
The second amendment is more important now than our forefathers ever expected but this is exactly why we have it and in my book if your a us citizen it's our duty to protect all our rights. The government works for us, some of the Dems these seem to believe we work for them.
I just contacted my Senator about red flag laws and about surviving the next vote thanks for the videos. they make a difference🎸
We need to train to march as a group at these rallys so we can be taken serious. Otherwise we are just groups of people protesting instead of showing them that we are a force. I'm tired of hearing about quotes on sacrifice and discipline. We need to MARCH in unison at these rallys. That will definitely raise a brow.
I live in NYS, Universal Backround Checks have effectively ended private sales. They have made it "too much of a hassle".
VA had the 1 gun/ month law in the past. Those laws will be repealed again.
Similar to laws in Canada for RPAL, which is essentially AR & handgun. You need approval / registration to buy / sell / trade / transport.
sometimes Chad needs to be able to complete his thoughts, Without Eric jumping in. Just saying.
For real
In my State of CONNECTICUT the state knows each and every Firearm you purchase and keeps track of it. It is assigned to our Pistol Permit/CCW or whatever you want to call the form of ID.
In KY I walk up to someone and tell them here is your new pistol and that's fine as long as there not a felon
I feel like chad never gets a chance to talk lol
poor old chad
My state (RI) requires notification of theft of firearms within 24 hours of becoming aware of the theft. If you come home weeks later, finding your house looted, as long as you make a report within a day of knowing it happened, you're ok.

I got some new glasses recently and I was highly amused that the butt-ugly thick plastic frames we called "birth control glasses" in the military back in the 80s are now apparently the height of hipster fashion. (Yeah, I'm old.)
Thanks for keeping them in check in VA
Already a subscriber here and your efforts are always appreciated. You’re misinterpreting the piece about local law enforcement and enforcement of the new laws. There is a common misconception that State Police are the “top cops” in any state. Local Sheriffs are actually “higher ranking” in every case. The Sheriff is an elected official and therefore has more power than the Chief of any State Police. The reason this law now exists is because they’re trying to remove the effectiveness of local law enforcement refusing to enforce tyrannical laws. Northam is literally forcing these laws down our throats in VA. He is attempting to remove any barricade to getting his laws enacted and enforced.
As a resident of Virginia (born and raised) I want to thank you for covering this topic. "Tyranny" is the proper word. I'm fortunate to live in a 2A Sanctuary County but it's still looks scary for our future. Thank you to all the non VA residents and VA residents who came to the rally. We appreciate the support.
@Stephen Tilson then who does the 2nd Amendment apply to?
@Stephen Tilson obviously you understand the Constitution completely differently than myself and millions of other citizens. I wish you the best of luck with your delusional thoughts.
@Stephen Tilson obviously your life is meaningless if this is how you spend your time...reading and starting arguments and insulting people on RUclips. I own several firearms to protect my family from the crazy people in this world and that is my right as a citizen of the United States of America. Also I enjoy shooting recreationally. It's a hobby like any other hobby. I also breed and sell Tropical Fish. I don't understand your argument or problem with me but I wish you the best. I hope you have a wonderful day.

@Stephen Tilson I guess because I don't agree with you then you have to assume that I'm uneducated and close minded but that just proves that you're the problem not me.
