"Laughing, singing and dancing" In other words a hippie music festival. I gotta say, Sam Colt and hippie music festivals is a connection I'd have never made in a million years, it just goes to show ya, life certainly is a box of chocolates, ya never know what you're gonna get. Thank you mama Gump.
Off video topic but I'd like to know how a person who has a passion for firearms and their history who has worked with the NRA, how do you feel about the current state of the organization? Also in regards to their unwillingness to help support and fight for things like ATF "rules" being treated as law, bumpstocks, Kyle Rittenhouse etc? If this question poses a conflict of interest to you then I would understand if that is your response.
I'm very disheartened with the organization. The lawsuit brought out into the open a lot of stuff that I and other staffers assumed was happening and this confirmed it. The lawsuit also made it clear that things were far worse than any of us imagined. As for ATF rules, bump stocks, etc: at the time, the best thing that could happen for the NRA was more ATF and government overreach, etc because that kept the money coming in. Less guns laws and friendly politicians are bad for the NRA. I don't think they ever expected Trump to win in 2016, which is why they poured $30M+ into the campaign. They would have easily recouped that amount if Hillary had won, but with Trump in control, donors got complacent and the funds started to dry up. I'm glad Wayne is gone, but there's a lot more work that needs to be done - and a lot more people that need to be shown the door - before I trust the organization again.
I swear YT must be throttling your stuff as I like your vids better than the irritating gun Jesus who gets millions of hits- but this channel never gets any traction??

"Sam Colt" and "hippie music festival" are not words I ever thought I'd hear in the same sentence!
I’m a huge colt fan!!! Thank you!!
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching!
Sam Colt’s marketing was even more creative than his firearms. 😅
You got that right!
But we have Ian McCollum at home!
