Man Cans are what they are. This is a business. But you know what your paying for. if you dont like it dont buy. i've never bought one. but you cant hate someone for providing a known product at a known cost?
I dont think thats what he said? he said he makes no money from the NRA. Theyre pretty transparent about how they get guns and ammo. who they work with etc. I havent heard him say he makes no money from the gun industry.
I usually don't watch "Gun Gripes" because to me they're 'dumb.' This is the best Gun Gripe I've heard and listen to. I hate all gun control! I won't give on any gun control measures. Bump stocks are dumb and silly too me, but I'll fight tooth and nail to keep them legal. We must stick together!
People think this is about guns, this is about respect for the Rights of individual freedoms. No gun control, none at all, its control of freedoms and oppression.
IIRC He threatened legal action due to the fact that YM's original video had personal information in it, and he's legally entitled to do so. Which is why TYM took advice from his lawyer and re-released the video with the contact information blurred out.
Victor Lourenço how dare TYM give out information that IV8888 gives out. He threatened him in hopes that the pamphlet would go away totally. It backfired when it was reposted with a minor adjustment. Obviously I subscribe to both channels and will continue to do so. I will just take the videos here as product info and not a review of quality.
Lemme get this straight... TYM put out IV8888's business contact information that IV8888 puts on literature to solicit business and this is somehow TYM doxxing IV8888? Is that your/their argument? Good luck trying to win with that in court! TYM's laywer only said to remove it (the contact info) to prevent wasted time and money in a frivolous lawsuit. Ironic the lawyer acted against his own interest in favor of his client, but good for him.
He threatened to sue for contact info that could be used by everyone from identity thieves to terrorists against him, would u want ur info online? Dont u care about u and ur family's safety and wellbeing? Get a life, and stop being jealous just bc ur not the center of attention and not getting all the ad offers coming ur way, Id love to run adds for money, and it happens everywhere online and on TV, the difference is that here, u can actually see someone use and test the products, no matter if they got paid to do a commercial, u can make ur own decisions as a responsible adult, right? Or is it really just a north vs south thing? Maybe ur stuck in the1800s, and blindly follow anyone who says theyre a yankee, news flash, the war is over, and if ur a freedom loving conservative, u wouldve fought for the south anyways, it wasnt all about slaves, blaming it all on slavery was like saying nobody liked obama bc of his immigration stance, which pales in comparison to all of his tyrannical attempts to remove our liberty, so stop being an obama supporter, and just sticking up for anyone who says theyre a yankee, I dont know if what ur saying is even true, but if it is, I still wont hate these guys, nor even be disappointed, ur either stupid or a liar if u say u wouldnt do a commercial if someone paid u thousands of dollars, who cares anyways, thats not even a real issue that matters in any way to anyone Ive ever known, get a life
Iv8888 live chat with TYM. I'm definitely there. Calling off work, kicking the dogs outside, sending the girlfriend to her moms house, and cooking up massive amounts of popcorn!
When I tell people I have an AR-15 and they say "you have an assault rifle?" I say no I have an AR-15 not an assault rifle. I tell them they're not educated properly. I tell them to look up a military assault rifle and see the difference between them and civilians versions. I wish I had a selective fire gun. That's a real assault rifle. I will always support the 2nd amendment, the police, and our military. Because I AM AN AMERICAN! NO MORE GUN BANS! THERE'S ALREADY A BACKGROUND CHECK FOR GUNS! ONLY CRIMINALS KILL PEOPLE WITH ILLEGAL GUNS! Eric and Chad, keep on fighting the good fight. Been subscribed to both of your channels for years. P.S. I always sign the petitions like repeal the NFA and many other anti-gun crap.
Next time ask them to define or describe what an assault rifle is. Usually they can't give an answer because they don't know, and then you can educate them and they can learn first hand instead of absorbing everything they hear on the news.
Im from the communist state of NJ, after 30 years in LE. and a 9 year Navy Vet. I am less than enthusiastic as to the path this nation is heading under the current administration. I commend your efforts to bring truth and perspective to the gun enthusiasts in the country. Keep up the good work.....Stay the course.
You’re threatening to sue Yankee over showing what you charge for product reviews? Wow, way to take the high road. If you didn’t want that to be public, too bad.
4 grand to review a gun???.. 39 grand a year for sponserships?? Product placement fees?? That is when you had 300k subs, now at 1.5 million I imagine the rates have increased. Nothing wrong with making money brother, but big money, big industry and doing and saying anything for money makes it hard to give an honest review when you are being paid.
Very nice for you guys to bring Barry up at the end(kind emotional). Thanks for all the effort, although I am in Canada, but I fully support you guys 100% !!!
What angered me as a viewer was that people making valid comments were banned from the chat. And I know that Eric and Chad had nothing to do with that but it really angered a bunch of us viewers. All we wanted was our comments to be addressed in the round table. I wasn't banned from the chat but it was not a good move.
They made it clear that the only reason they banned anyone is because they where using foul language on a rated live event or they where just name calling and acting childish. That banning thing was taken out of context.
I stand behind you guys 100%. Do not let a self proclaimed liberal like Yankee Marshall get under your skin. His dedication to the liberal party is way more destructive to our second amendment rights than any amount of support you possibly could give to the NRA. Just like any good liberal would do, he has greatly misconstrued your statements that were made on the NRA issue.
TYM is absolutely right, you guys bent over in that chat. MAC didn't seem to have a problem standing his ground, what was your deal? Chad, you disappointed me in particular. I'm not unsubbing from you guys since I've been here for years, but I'm disappointed.
You didn't pay attention to the chat. Clearly. They were cut off at least two times without being allowed to finish their thoughts. MAC (Tim) was so rude he got to say anything he wanted. That's not bravery, that's self absorbed rudeness.
I am sorry to hear about your family being attacked on social media. If I ever disagree with someone, I would not stoop to the level of attacking their children on social media.
RandomInternet User I was simultaneously watching both. If I recall it was the Clint guy talking too much then Yankee just got mad no one cut Clint off for spewing garbage. However I don’t think that is right. These guys have always been genuine
My whole life I have been on the same page as Tim, Nothing should be regulated. When the 2nd was written, military and civilians had the same weapons. Mighty stupid to think that our founding fathers didnt think technology would happen to firearms. They knew, and all the more reason for civilians to keep and bear arms.
I don't understand, can someone briefly bring me up to speed? Shouldn't all gun guys be against bans and restriction? Haven't we learned that they don't work so do nothing but remove our freedoms?
Some of us adhere to the tenet of Heller regarding "dangerous and unusual weapons." I personally believe a bumpfire stock equipped rifle to be more dangerous than a machinegun since it is so inaccurate. It fires indiscriminately. If you tried to use one in a defensive scenario you would send stray bullets everywhere and endanger the public. I am fine with a ban as long as it passes strict scrutiny as dangerous and unusual.
The problem here is that not everyone is on the same page. Some think it's ok to give up some rights. That's not cool. I'm glad Yankee is calling them out
airbomb34 He makes good videos and is normally spot on with what he says. He's being more tough on these two than he should be, but he's right about everyone else
His videos are garbage clickbait brought to us by his antiquated ideas and terrible sense of humor. He's completely wrong about what Chad said as well. His paraphrasing was so off and his personal attacks that I doubt he even watched it in it's entirety. I did and he's simply full of shit.
Eric- Now that it's known to the world that vendors/manufactures have paid you to review there product(s), It should be in your best interest to acknowledge this in a video.... if you care about your channels reputation or more importantly, your viewers/subscribers. Majority of us really don't care what you charge, albeit 4k or 40k per review, however disclosing this to your audience is what we should expect from you. As you know, many people actually make a purchase based on what you say, good or bad. When peoples hard earned money is on the line we expect a full disclosure. Keep it real brother!
I watched the segment. I watched with my own two eyes and my own two ears. Chad without a doubt has NO PROBLEM regulating bump stocks. He thinks that will satisfy the Anti-2nd crowd and they will go away. Eric couldn't believe he was admitting it and was trying to cut him off. Chad quickly realized he was sticking his foot in his big mouth. I know what I saw, don't try to back track, it comes off as desperate and pathetic.
Eric and Chad, I just wanted to say thank you for everything you guys do. You guys are most of the reason I got into firearms. I will try to do as much as I can to defend our rights. Don't let some nobody on youtube get yall down. hope yall have a great week!
This situation is unfortunate. I often watched your content with the intention of listening to an informed honest opinion of a product. I do feel misled, and it makes me wonder what else you would say if the price was right.
I have been watching the channel for years. I remember your phone always ringing during the gun gripes. I remember when you smashed it (that was such a welcome thing). I know exactly where you and Chad stand on compromises. I love all you have done for the community. Sure you make a pretty buck on it, you work for it. It's how America works. I, and many others, stand with you.
You can compromise with a lie , but you cant argue with he truth.......once a right is taken it will never be restored ...... love your channel guy's!!!...
Thank you eric as for been watching you since the 45 cal. Airforce texan and how far it shoots and im going to get the $435 upgrade double spring set and a moderator for it thanks again and you and chad keep on teaching what you know as for the naysayers are a bunch of Damn Dumb ass Demophucks and liberal leftist who are just trying to point fingers at the wrong people as for the las Vegas shooting the Fbi and CIA are very much involved and thats the truth.
Dude, you get paid large amounts to give positive reviews on products?! Then you threaten to sue TYM when he points out that your “reviews” can’t necessarily be trusted because you are getting paid thousands to do them?! You’re better than that man. You and Not Barry need to own what you do and get over it. If someone paid you to do it you would.
ANY MAN who supposedly supports what this country was founded on, should NEVER SUPPORT LOBBYISTS. Lobbyists PAY for legislation. Which COMPLETELY defeats the purpose of our republican system. It goes from "the will of the people" to "the depth of ones wallet".
You are correct. Im just hesitant at saying 'republican system' because of todays connotation of 'republican', figuring it to confuse and distract a whole other swarm of butthurt people. I'll fix it.
Chad people were pissed about 42:18 "I mean would I have a problem if bump fire stock were put on 4473 or something along those lines, you had to go through a NICS check, or whatever the case is. I mean, whatever. If that has to be done to please the crowd, I don't wan to see that, I don't want to see any of that..." Yeah, you got cut short....context don't look so good Ya'll confused about what to do? 1: Stop asking people to join the NRA, that was a staple of your channel...and created the myth 2: Join the next Never Enuff Ammo or YankeeMarshall chat, they were the ones fanning flames. Let's settle this live 3: This video was a mistake, you're giving the bullies the impression that they are getting to you
+videodistro Are you serious?! They specifically tell you IN THIS VIDEO to join if you want the NRA to change. For something to be fake, it has not have happened...
I remember back in 1994 when the Clinton AWB came about, how the older gun owners, guys in their 60's, 70's and older more or less threw younger gun owners under the bus because they didn't like the guns that were being banned and they went along with the AWB because it didn't affect their guns. That created a huge divide among gun owners that still exists to this day, and the problem is that this divide has been there for some time. Some will give in, and some will not and some see that there are "reasonable compromises". I saw again here in NY when the Safe Act came out, there were the older owners again, happy to sell the rest down the river. We are all going to hang separately or we are all going to hang together. As Abraham Lincoln once said, a country divided against itself cannot stand. We need to stand together on this guys.
Amen. I have always stood behind what I believe in 100%. Either I'm 100% or nothing. I am a Army Veteran and I think that as long as I am in sound mind and judgment, that I should be able to own any gun of any type that I want. Thanks for all of Eric and Chads hard work and commitment.
No Chad wasn't misunderstood. 42.30 there is your timestamp, "whatever, if that's what it takes to please the crowd." But nice try at saving face. A straight up apology and manning up to what was said would have earned more respect. I respected Eric for his full out rejection of that statement but now here we are full CYA mode.
Slaughterzealibib you are 100% wrong on this. Chad was saying he'd at least have some respect for what they were trying if that's what the bill said. You are taking it out of context.
Twice Chad has said he was okay with them making bump fire stocks an NFA item go back and watch their video about the Las Vegas shooting that was the first time and then he was saying it again in the round table. And after Yankee Marshal released their brochure which shows how much it cost for a good reviews of products it's a little hard for me to believe that their impartial and don't have gun manufacturers interest as a top priority. Which I have no problem with any of that but this backpedaling is ridiculous and it's what's made me lose respect and the fact their angry about their brochure being released and threatening to sue shows that they're obviously hiding something that they don't want the general public to know and that's the fact their opinion can be bought!
Its a brochure... You make brochures so people can see your product. I assume they are offended for taking their motives and what they do for clients and viewers out of context.
Tier 2 states "4250.00 per video to cover production cost". Good Lord you guys need to cut some overhead. How can putting a camera on a tripod with a fresh SD card and then putting said card in a computer for editing cost so much???? The best part is sending another firearm in case the first one fails during video production so as not to hold up the glowing review of the product, wow, just wow
ive been watching you guys for 8 years and for me i will always watch this channel. i could care less what you guys do we are all family here lets stick together.
Sorry i just can’t watch this channel anymore, I’ve lost too much respect for you guys, ok so you charge 4,000 dollars for a review. I could ignore that, but then you threaten to sue TYM for exposing the truth. You guys should be ashamed of yourselves.
I'm curious about the legal action issue. The only one that has mentioned it is YM. He's the only one claiming that there was a possibility of legal, from what I have seen.
Yeah if you are going to have paid reviews, that's cool, just disclose its sponsored, but to be dishonest than threaten to sue, that's a bit iffy. The way I see it is if someone is sueing over simple information theres likely something to hide
David Dickerson he was honestly my favorite part of the channel. He brought this certain nuance to the videos. I especially miss him in the gun gripe videos.
This gun control crap is bs. The guns had no choice but to do what the owner did with them. It's a tool, I own lots of firearms and they have not killed anybody so blame the people not the tool. I'm tired of hearing about gun control
Yeah cuz you probably shouldn't charge when you have the best cameras your own firing range and you do this for a living it just doesn't make sense does it. Oh I forgot and when you have a family to feed and you have people on your payroll. Just totally mind-boggling why somebody would charge for a review,
i have watched your channel for about 2-3 years and i have never heard anyone make a false statement or lie. i have gotten a lot of great info from all of the people who have been on this channel. you are my brothers at heart.
These men are liars, $4000 for dishonestly is not anywhere on their website. In stead it writes: "Formal reviews are something we don't take lightly. In fact, I don't post a ton of reviews really. The reason is because I normally like to take my time trying out a product so I can make 100 percent sure I am giving an honest and accurate representation of it. This can sometimes equate to a 1000 rounds or more out of a given firearm, months of wearing a piece of kit, or years of use. Below are what I feel are some of the best reviews from our UA-cam exploits. Enjoy!"
I didn't see the panel so I don't know what the Gripe is about. I assume it's a go, no go argument about the NRA. I'm 100% pro 2A and I enjoy your vids.
What you missed was the chat was a joke. Chad said he wouldn’t care if we had to fill out 4473’s or do a background check to get a bump stock. Or, you know, giving away our rights. One dude was in that chat stroking the NRA all night. He said he was personal friends with Lapiere. The only person who was a strong voice in that chat was Tim from Military Arms Channel.
Sadly this is what happens when money gets involved. People compromise their values for profit. So basically you are willing to compromise your integrity for a living. Good to know what type of person you are and associate with.
No idea what all the drama is about, but it was you two who got me into the 2nd amendment and firearms as a whole. I'm very grateful for your channel and in whatever way I can, you guys will always have my support. Keep it real, fellas.
Listen to the round table and make up your own mind. There was some questionable stuff said by many gun channels that made my eyebrows rise. Don't take anyone's word though, listen to it yourselves. I personally think much has been taken out of context. But there were some business guys that did say some things that personally blew my mind.
Only two channels had the balls to call out those profiteers and NRA shills... and it wasn't IV8888. He may truly love and support the 2nd amendment... but when his moment came to shine, I only heard MAC and one other speak out.
Kind of surprised to hear you make 4k for gun reviews. As an active duty Marine i watched you for several years on your word as a fellow service member that you were telling me your no bs honest opinion on a firearm or product. I get business and understand you need to make a living but damn. All in all a lesson has been learned, do research on who you take advice or product reviews from. I blame myself at this point, still a bit disheartening though.
"i watched you for several years on your word as a fellow service member that you were telling me your no bs honest opinion on a firearm or product." /// And how do you know you didn't get just that?
The reason I watch this channel is because I feel like you guys are good fellas. I believe that you guys really do care about our community. I order mancans when I can afford to because I enjoy the content you guys put out. Don't stop doing what your doing and keep up the good work.
Not one inch. No. We're going to legislate forward and gain ground. We're going to repeal all the gun grabber laws. We're going to get our rights back. We're going to go further than that, and we're going to expand the gun rights in this country. That's the attitude and the outlook that we need, and that's the kind of people we need to elect, both in government and in whatever gun rights organization you choose to be a part of.
RedWolfConspiracy no thank you, we need gun restrictions... anybody who doesn't have a good reason has to turn in their weapons.. to many nutters out their with guns.
Like I said. There will be no debate. We're going to repeal those laws. We're going to also expand gun rights further than they've ever been. Election day will be the debate. Have a nice day.
What bothered me a little was Yeager (and people like him) do product reviews, they act like they're doing it as a favor to their manufacturer friends, then find out they're making thousands of $ per review, and then ASKING FOR PATREON DONATIONS so they can (keep making videos for us), like you're doing me a favor. A little dishonesty here.
Guess I need to check the fine print on each video to see if they are being honest about the product that's being pushed. I honestly assumed they were just helping out an industry brother or letting us know about a great product we should have.
A lot of these guy like Yeager and iv8888 act like they are doing us a favor. They are entertainment, are best, but they have moved on to think they are better than their viewers..then there's the dumb asses that paid to view them per video, unreal. Don't you realize they are getting g paid already. Besides this is free advertisment for their shop and what they sell, which is fine by itself
So... It's wrong to make money on a gun channel which is a business... Sometimes companies pay for these guys to review some products.... And it's a bad thing? I remember a series of videos where they burned out full auto ak47, ar15, glock and what not and burned through thousands of rounds... That cost a lot of money. How can they do that without getting paid?! Many of the videos they make come out of their patrons support and they get entertainment in return... And they make some cash I'm sure... But isn't that what a business is all about? They run a gun shop, Yeager runs a training facility as do many others... It's a BUSINESS people. There is only so much you can do for the love of it. Get over it.
Shane K Yep. Every single paid review they have done to date has been listed in the videos description. Now after knowing this, do you realize that you were a little quick to pass judgement? The proof has been right under everyones noses the whole time. But now all of a sudden Yankee Marshal is lying to you by saying they were hiding this info. So between the two channels, which one is honest and which one is pushing a false agenda? Seems to me that Yankee is the one lying to his viewers.
I feel like for the first two minutes or so... Chad is staring at me through the camera. Sitting in my gym shorts eating cereal...He sees me and he's disappointed lol
27 minutes of video and not once did either of you address the accusation that you are paid by gun manufacturers to do reviews of their products. You said a lot in the 27 minutes, but it’s what you didn’t say that speaks the loudest.
Get in a chat with YM and NEA and the rest of them. You can discuss the issues and hopefully come to an understanding. I think it would be more productive than just a response video.
Since I don’t have $4000 laying around for a positive review I’ll take my ass elsewhere. Been subbed to this channel for years, but will not support such sellouts. Sure you won’t need my subscription but hopefully the many people that continue to unsubscribe make a point and let you know we don’t want sellouts. Also this comment could be deleted like many others.
I can say that I honestly enjoy your channel. If someone is misunderstanding where you guys are coming from, it is likely someone who WANTS to misunderstand you. I watch your videos regularly and rely upon them for your opinions. I appreciate you guys.
thats funny as fuck having said that im rather unhappy that my youtube world of shooting channels seems to be imploding i like all these assholes ....... seriously i really do wish theyd jusort this shit out (and yes i know its not that easy )
NEVER OBEY Jerry always carries that timer. I always thought it'd be hilarious if someone tried to get the jump on him. The last thing they'd hear is that beep.
M&P 2.0 Compact. Buy it. Carry it. Love it. Nobody paid me $4,000 to say this. I crack myself up!! People are hating because they can't charge 4K to review a firearm. My only thing is be honest about what you are doing.
I’ve been off the internet’s for about 2 weeks so I have no idea what opposition is being talked about. I have watched this channel for years and I have a very good idea of who you guys are and what you stand for. Even if I did disagree with whatever statement was made I wowing understand that it was coming from what you thought was best. I also know I could contact you and voice my opposition and we could have a respectful relationship. Like I said, I know who you are and I want to thank you for all of the things you do for this community. You made me get active and start talking to my representatives. I have learned a lot from this channel and I appreciate everything you do, even if I didn’t agree (but not saying I did)
Ratkill9000 you don’t have to tell me, my pc limits are email, ms docs, UA-cam, and google. I’ve got a buddy that does that kind of stuff but I sure don’t have that skill set.
As a very small youtube channel and content creator, and second amendment supporter, i recognize the effort you guys put into your channel. You make great videos. I know my comment is a little late, but i hope you guys keep on keeping on. I've been a subscriber for at least 6 years and i love your channel!
I dont really agree with what Yankee said about you but that TGC round table was biased and you know it. There were more people passionate about the NRA than protecting our rights. The moderator (Jon) put spotlight on Clint and barely let anyone else talk. Horrible. Lets be real dude
Wow. You clearly didn't watch the chat. Put a timer on each speaker. Tim got the most time (by his rude behavior, cutting other people off). Clint was in the lower 3rd. Clueless.
You timed everyone? Tim was even silenced once and then spoke anyway cause the other dude had a bad internet connection. This isn't to mention the live chatters that got blocked. That discussion wasn't right. Clint seemed to have a lot of time to speak without interruption. Even saw his kids. No clue what any of the other guys kids look like.
What they should have done is given everyone 5 min to talk then on to the next person & when they started blocking that really chapped my ass everyone should have a right speak !!!
I am not a huge fan of TYM but you guys didn't refute or even deny a single thing he said about your business practices. Call me naive, but I really never considered the huge bucks you are raking in with your youtube channel. And I am fine with that, but your business practices, and your secrecy about them, creates at least the appearance of a conflict of interests. You went on and on about "unity" long after you should have put the conch shell away. This is starting to look like a circular firing squad here and I suggest you avoid any more posts like this because it didn't really seem to help your case.
Guys I started my first shop in the 1970's . Everything that is going on now has happened in the past. Speaking of Brownells Pete's Grand Father gave me a tour of the business way before you guys were born. Pete was a kid. Anyway during all the years I was in the business this infighting has been a problem. There are many reasons. But my business position has always been "Ride Hard, Shoot Straight and Tell the Truth"! That may cost you some Viewers/ Customers but your Honor will be intact. And at the age of 67 and being terminally ill I have to say your Honor is all your gonna have in the end. Now guys do what your honor tells you to do. Take care of your families and stand your ground.
You want to sue the Yankee Marshal for telling the truth? That just proves what he's been saying about you. You can take your conch shell and shove it.
Chad's magazine analogy at the end rings a little hollow when you know these guys get paid thousands of dollars by gun companies to make positive reviews that will move product.
Gun Gripes #140: "IV8888 - Identity, Perception & Good Faith" I'm a Texan, I've been a fan since the beginning. IraqVeterean8888 was a valuable education and research tool, a couple of Pawn Shop gun counter clerks (Eric & Barry/Chad) who shared their knowledge and experience as well as review firearms to educate the community about firearms and the etiquette associated. IV8888 could be trusted to be unbiased and informative, Eric being a War Veteran garnered a high level of respect and trust. The channel has grown massively since the Barry era and main-stayed a "for us, by us" mentality, the ManCans are marketed as a PBS style crowdfunding model to keep the channel aloft and provide us with more informative enrichment and unbiased reviews. The connotation was, every subscriber bought ammo, every 10 subscribers bought a gun. We all new the contents of the ManCan were primarily sentimental swag, the value differential being an investment in the channel. The channel has always portrayed itself as a family effort, being a homegrown effort, videos being 'fireside chats' (Gun Gripes) and 'buds with beer' (the review content.) For several years, IV8888 and Eric were to be trusted and held with high degree of regard...then a clown came along.... TheYankeeMarshal is a sarcastic personality, known heckler. He made an accusation per his character, something harmless if left alone, something that could have been addressed in a professional manner as a casual after thought. We come to this video, 'Gun Gripes #139'. In a behavior unbecoming of a soldier Eric adopted hostile demeanor toward the accusation, made the assumption that the clown was feeble and made a fierce denial. Chad had his own problems, he's a good guy...live chats are obliviously not his element. Instead of directly facing his 42:18 GunCollective Chat remark, admitting that he was cut short in the middle of rebuking a 'nightmare scenario' he artfully crafted...He Instead Chose To Obfuscate Stupidity. Back to Eric, turns out...The Clown was Pennywise. TheYankeeMarshal indeed had evidence in his possession, what does Eric do? Does he just let the matter drop? After all he challenged that his accuser had no evidence to support his claim, was proven wrong in the court of public opinion. Does Eric appear in TheYankeeMarhsal's Live chat, and sort things out professionally? No, he threatens legal action...wow on the moral high ground. Thing is what Yankee had was effectively...Nuclear. IV8888 had marketed itself to us as an unbiased channel, in fact it charges manufacturers to promote and sponsor...not review their wares. That of course leads us to wonder what exactly our ManCan contributions go toward if the manufacturers/industry are already flipping the bill for the channel and then some, and to question validity of bias...which previously we all depended on being neutral. We need a channel we know the biases of, we need a channel we can count on that provides content in a context we mutually understand. As TheYankeeMarshal pointed out in his chat, we are sorely lacking a For Profit Gun Commercial Channel. A channel with a large install base where manufacturers can debut firearms and accessories and have them promoted successfully, so that the community can be made aware of said product's existence and research them elsewhere. The source of his scorn is that such a channel should be honest about being "corporate" and not abide an unintended false narrative of being a homegrown community supported review channel. IraqVeterean8888 could be that channel...as long as Eric stops pouring kerosene on the bridge and starts acting like a former soldier of the US Military. Be the better man. If TheYankeeMarshal is wrong, if we are wrong. Be upfront about the Industry pamphlets you circulate, show us "behind the scenes" where their money goes, where our money goes. You have Two Options to regain our trust, our faith, Pick One.
Yeah.stick by your opinion.I like your content.Please go back to your reviews don't spend more time on this you got your message out there.Let the other channels do what they want.I could care less.Hang in there good job.
Boz Boz, I'll agree with that to some extent. He admits he doesn't post things he doesn't like, which seems kinda sketchy, as if he would be black listed from some company from getting T&E products or something.
My Grandfather smoked his whole life. I was about 10 years old when my mother said to him, 'If you ever want to see your grandchildren graduate, you have to stop immediately.'. Tears welled up in his eyes when he realized what exactly was at stake. He gave it up immediately. Three years later he died of lung cancer. It was really sad and destroyed me. My mother said to me- 'Don't ever smoke. Please don't put your family through what your Grandfather put us through." I agreed. At 48, I have never touched a cigarette. I must say, I feel a very slight sense of regret for never having done it, because this video gave me cancer anyway.
Chad- what irked me was at 42:23 was when you said that you didn't care if the bumpstocks were put on a 4473.
*Holds up sign not one inch*...gives inch on stuff like bump fire and whatnot. "Ive never made a dime off the gun industry"...."BUY MY MAN CANZ GUYS"
Man Cans are what they are. This is a business. But you know what your paying for. if you dont like it dont buy. i've never bought one. but you cant hate someone for providing a known product at a known cost?
DildoSwaggins Still, its hilarious for him to say he makes no money off the gun industry when in fact that's basically all he does.
I dont think thats what he said? he said he makes no money from the NRA. Theyre pretty transparent about how they get guns and ammo. who they work with etc. I havent heard him say he makes no money from the gun industry.
I usually don't watch "Gun Gripes" because to me they're 'dumb.' This is the best Gun Gripe I've heard and listen to. I hate all gun control! I won't give on any gun control measures. Bump stocks are dumb and silly too me, but I'll fight tooth and nail to keep them legal. We must stick together!
Yep, and what gets me is they don't even actually fit in that proposed bill, because a gun simply can not fire faster than it's cyclic rate.
People think this is about guns, this is about respect for the Rights of individual freedoms. No gun control, none at all, its control of freedoms and oppression.
Eric-"...energy wasted fighting each other"
TYM- shows IV8888 pay for play pamphlet
Eric-"I'm going to sue for posting that in a video"
Lmao!
IIRC He threatened legal action due to the fact that YM's original video had personal information in it, and he's legally entitled to do so. Which is why TYM took advice from his lawyer and re-released the video with the contact information blurred out.
Victor Lourenço how dare TYM give out information that IV8888 gives out. He threatened him in hopes that the pamphlet would go away totally. It backfired when it was reposted with a minor adjustment. Obviously I subscribe to both channels and will continue to do so. I will just take the videos here as product info and not a review of quality.
Lemme get this straight... TYM put out IV8888's business contact information that IV8888 puts on literature to solicit business and this is somehow TYM doxxing IV8888?
Is that your/their argument?
Good luck trying to win with that in court! TYM's laywer only said to remove it (the contact info) to prevent wasted time and money in a frivolous lawsuit.
Ironic the lawyer acted against his own interest in favor of his client, but good for him.
Hey, Shaw, don't hate the player, shoot the message........ no........ wait, that can't be right..........
He threatened to sue for contact info that could be used by everyone from identity thieves to terrorists against him, would u want ur info online? Dont u care about u and ur family's safety and wellbeing? Get a life, and stop being jealous just bc ur not the center of attention and not getting all the ad offers coming ur way, Id love to run adds for money, and it happens everywhere online and on TV, the difference is that here, u can actually see someone use and test the products, no matter if they got paid to do a commercial, u can make ur own decisions as a responsible adult, right? Or is it really just a north vs south thing? Maybe ur stuck in the1800s, and blindly follow anyone who says theyre a yankee, news flash, the war is over, and if ur a freedom loving conservative, u wouldve fought for the south anyways, it wasnt all about slaves, blaming it all on slavery was like saying nobody liked obama bc of his immigration stance, which pales in comparison to all of his tyrannical attempts to remove our liberty, so stop being an obama supporter, and just sticking up for anyone who says theyre a yankee, I dont know if what ur saying is even true, but if it is, I still wont hate these guys, nor even be disappointed, ur either stupid or a liar if u say u wouldnt do a commercial if someone paid u thousands of dollars, who cares anyways, thats not even a real issue that matters in any way to anyone Ive ever known, get a life
Iv8888 live chat with TYM. I'm definitely there. Calling off work, kicking the dogs outside, sending the girlfriend to her moms house, and cooking up massive amounts of popcorn!
When I tell people I have an AR-15 and they say "you have an assault rifle?" I say no I have an AR-15 not an assault rifle. I tell them they're not educated properly. I tell them to look up a military assault rifle and see the difference between them and civilians versions. I wish I had a selective fire gun. That's a real assault rifle. I will always support the 2nd amendment, the police, and our military. Because I AM AN AMERICAN! NO MORE GUN BANS! THERE'S ALREADY A BACKGROUND CHECK FOR GUNS! ONLY CRIMINALS KILL PEOPLE WITH ILLEGAL GUNS!
Eric and Chad, keep on fighting the good fight. Been subscribed to both of your channels for years.
P.S. I always sign the petitions like repeal the NFA and many other anti-gun crap.
Next time ask them to define or describe what an assault rifle is. Usually they can't give an answer because they don't know, and then you can educate them and they can learn first hand instead of absorbing everything they hear on the news.
I like how they introduce the conch to keep Chad from saying dumb stuff out of turn
Several days too late for that i'm afraid. ;-)
Im from the communist state of NJ, after 30 years in LE. and a 9 year Navy Vet. I am less than enthusiastic as to the path this nation is heading under the current administration. I commend your efforts to bring truth and perspective to the gun enthusiasts in the country. Keep up the good work.....Stay the course.
You’re threatening to sue Yankee over showing what you charge for product reviews? Wow, way to take the high road. If you didn’t want that to be public, too bad.
4 grand to review a gun???.. 39 grand a year for sponserships?? Product placement fees?? That is when you had 300k subs, now at 1.5 million I imagine the rates have increased. Nothing wrong with making money brother, but big money, big industry and doing and saying anything for money makes it hard to give an honest review when you are being paid.
"Join, become voting NRA members and change it"
"We've NEVER said to join the NRA!"
The universe loves a paradox.
Are you going to let us know when you are advertising vs. reviewing?
bold face liars calling out bold face liars? lol
Very nice for you guys to bring Barry up at the end(kind emotional). Thanks for all the effort, although I am in Canada, but I fully support you guys 100% !!!
As far as bump stocks is concerned, I have no use for one nor do I want one but who am I to say someone else should not have one.
Kevin Healy
Exactly! I would want one though. lol
I don't use Meth, but if my next door neighbor want's to cook it up in his garage, who am I to say he can't ?
I do not care what they possess, but meth labs are explosive.
I do not care what butt stock you have, but don't point your muzzle my direction.
What angered me as a viewer was that people making valid comments were banned from the chat. And I know that Eric and Chad had nothing to do with that but it really angered a bunch of us viewers. All we wanted was our comments to be addressed in the round table. I wasn't banned from the chat but it was not a good move.
NAP51DMustang I don't disagree. But when a person posts "the 2A shall not be infringed" and they get booted out, I don't understand why.
I didn't see that round table live, so I missed the chat section. But I do think that the "Ban Hammer" can get dropped a little too quickly.
Aaron Torres Good point.
They made it clear that the only reason they banned anyone is because they where using foul language on a rated live event or they where just name calling and acting childish. That banning thing was taken out of context.
secondswell foul language in the comments isn’t prohibited by UA-cam. They can ban who they want. I just think they went overboard.
I stand behind you guys 100%. Do not let a self proclaimed liberal like Yankee Marshall get under your skin. His dedication to the liberal party is way more destructive to our second amendment rights than any amount of support you possibly could give to the NRA. Just like any good liberal would do, he has greatly misconstrued your statements that were made on the NRA issue.
TYM is absolutely right, you guys bent over in that chat. MAC didn't seem to have a problem standing his ground, what was your deal? Chad, you disappointed me in particular. I'm not unsubbing from you guys since I've been here for years, but I'm disappointed.
You didn't pay attention to the chat. Clearly. They were cut off at least two times without being allowed to finish their thoughts. MAC (Tim) was so rude he got to say anything he wanted. That's not bravery, that's self absorbed rudeness.
this is bullshit the real prick was TGC and that clint walker dude there was a real agenda to the chat
videodistro Tim in my opinion seemed to have practice debating. To took an approach I and colleagues of mine take in negotiations.
I think MAC used to be a business Executive so he is probably experienced with having his voice heard in discussions like that.
I am sorry to hear about your family being attacked on social media. If I ever disagree with someone, I would not stoop to the level of attacking their children on social media.
Why not? If youre dumb enough to care about social media then fuck you, you deserve to be trolled.
Watched the whole thing, agree with Tim and you guys, NO compromise.
RandomInternet User I was simultaneously watching both. If I recall it was the Clint guy talking too much then Yankee just got mad no one cut Clint off for spewing garbage. However I don’t think that is right. These guys have always been genuine
My whole life I have been on the same page as Tim, Nothing should be regulated. When the 2nd was written, military and civilians had the same weapons. Mighty stupid to think that our founding fathers didnt think technology would happen to firearms. They knew, and all the more reason for civilians to keep and bear arms.
Eric...you should come out openly and talk about whats happening straight up give us some truth
I'm running low on popcorn. This keeps getting better. Damn Yankee's causing trouble
Everace yeah, its fucking great.
Yes. Yes it is. I love a youtube feud
I am a fan of Seattle Mariners and ethical Maritimes stuff.
New York Yankees are filthy baseball...
But anyhow⚾️
I don't understand, can someone briefly bring me up to speed? Shouldn't all gun guys be against bans and restriction? Haven't we learned that they don't work so do nothing but remove our freedoms?
Some has not learned that yet.
Some of us adhere to the tenet of Heller regarding "dangerous and unusual weapons." I personally believe a bumpfire stock equipped rifle to be more dangerous than a machinegun since it is so inaccurate. It fires indiscriminately. If you tried to use one in a defensive scenario you would send stray bullets everywhere and endanger the public.
I am fine with a ban as long as it passes strict scrutiny as dangerous and unusual.
Abraham Collins you know the gun grabbers have admitted that a bumpstock ban is just to get the dominos started to ban all guns right? Apparently not.
The problem here is that not everyone is on the same page. Some think it's ok to give up some rights. That's not cool. I'm glad Yankee is calling them out
Kaiserkase fill me in, what happened?
We all know this is about The Yankee Marshal, Lmao
I didn't, I don't watch anything involving that bitch and was kind of annoyed by the euphemisms here tbh
Same. That guy is a huge blowhard fudd. I don't know why gun owners subscribe or even watch his garbage videos.
airbomb34 He makes good videos and is normally spot on with what he says. He's being more tough on these two than he should be, but he's right about everyone else
His videos are garbage clickbait brought to us by his antiquated ideas and terrible sense of humor. He's completely wrong about what Chad said as well. His paraphrasing was so off and his personal attacks that I doubt he even watched it in it's entirety. I did and he's simply full of shit.
airbomb34 Disagree about the quality of his videos and agree on the rest. Chad got cut off before he could make his point
Man have you been reading these reviews? You guys will be lucky to have a channel by the end of the week, I'll keep watching for $3999😃
Can't help but feel this is a weak attempt at backpedalling as a result of your panel. 🤔
The "Round Table" was poorly moderated. Some flapped their lips for far to long, not allowing others to chime in.
No compromise!! Completely support you!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Eric- Now that it's known to the world that vendors/manufactures have paid you to review there product(s), It should be in your best interest to acknowledge this in a video.... if you care about your channels reputation or more importantly, your viewers/subscribers. Majority of us really don't care what you charge, albeit 4k or 40k per review, however disclosing this to your audience is what we should expect from you. As you know, many people actually make a purchase based on what you say, good or bad. When peoples hard earned money is on the line we expect a full disclosure. Keep it real brother!
I watched the segment. I watched with my own two eyes and my own two ears.
Chad without a doubt has NO PROBLEM regulating bump stocks. He thinks that will satisfy the Anti-2nd crowd and they will go away. Eric couldn't believe he was admitting it and was trying to cut him off. Chad quickly realized he was sticking his foot in his big mouth.
I know what I saw, don't try to back track, it comes off as desperate and pathetic.
WarPig's Busted Knuckle Garage Fans of this channel are in denial.
I watched the round table video and chad even said in his example that he wants no regulation of bump stocks.
I have to admit I've never thought of Chad or Eric as the sharpest tools in the shed. Barry? Now, Barry was the Man.....
Eric and Chad, I just wanted to say thank you for everything you guys do. You guys are most of the reason I got into firearms. I will try to do as much as I can to defend our rights. Don't let some nobody on youtube get yall down. hope yall have a great week!
This situation is unfortunate. I often watched your content with the intention of listening to an informed honest opinion of a product. I do feel misled, and it makes me wonder what else you would say if the price was right.
I have been watching the channel for years. I remember your phone always ringing during the gun gripes. I remember when you smashed it (that was such a welcome thing). I know exactly where you and Chad stand on compromises. I love all you have done for the community. Sure you make a pretty buck on it, you work for it. It's how America works.
I, and many others, stand with you.
Why is this turning into a social political thing on UA-cam... I hang around literally all these gun channels for information from informed people.
Love the channel, keep up the good work and thanks for always being honest and responsible gun owners Eric and Chad. God bless!
Where the hell is nutnfancy when u need him...
no one needs that long winded fool involved in anything
Complaining for 2 hours over an ounce on a pocket knife
You can compromise with a lie , but you cant argue with he truth.......once a right is taken it will never be restored ...... love your channel guy's!!!...
that blue sweater dude and Adam got way too much time, Adam wants your vote
Not one inch in fact let's take our previous rights back!!!!
Thank you eric as for been watching you since the 45 cal. Airforce texan and how far it shoots and im going to get the $435 upgrade double spring set and a moderator for it thanks again and you and chad keep on teaching what you know as for the naysayers are a bunch of Damn Dumb ass Demophucks and liberal leftist who are just trying to point fingers at the wrong people as for the las Vegas shooting the Fbi and CIA are very much involved and thats the truth.
Dude, you get paid large amounts to give positive reviews on products?! Then you threaten to sue TYM when he points out that your “reviews” can’t necessarily be trusted because you are getting paid thousands to do them?! You’re better than that man. You and Not Barry need to own what you do and get over it. If someone paid you to do it you would.
Time to disable comments guys , all but the $4,000 ones any way . That is the going rate for a review right ?
This is turning into WWF type shit. Have to sort out the heel and baby face though and all that.....
CaptainBerz whatcha gonna do brother, when profits come before you!...........Brother!!
CaptainBerz I'll pay to see a lil "fight"
We've got enough of that shit on Capital Hill already.
Always love your comments
Don't work yourself into a shoot brother. Fuckin marks. Much love. Dude. Jack.
-HH
ANY MAN who supposedly supports what this country was founded on, should NEVER SUPPORT LOBBYISTS.
Lobbyists PAY for legislation.
Which COMPLETELY defeats the purpose of our republican system.
It goes from "the will of the people" to "the depth of ones wallet".
Just1Spark it's sad that we have to have lobbyists to fight for a constitutionally recognized right.
Just1Spark Jesus Christ, we ARE NOT a democracy.
Fucking a...
You are correct. Im just hesitant at saying 'republican system' because of todays connotation of 'republican', figuring it to confuse and distract a whole other swarm of butthurt people.
I'll fix it.
Chad people were pissed about 42:18
"I mean would I have a problem if bump fire stock were put on 4473 or something along those lines, you had to go through a NICS check, or whatever the case is. I mean, whatever. If that has to be done to please the crowd, I don't wan to see that, I don't want to see any of that..."
Yeah, you got cut short....context don't look so good
Ya'll confused about what to do?
1: Stop asking people to join the NRA, that was a staple of your channel...and created the myth
2: Join the next Never Enuff Ammo or YankeeMarshall chat, they were the ones fanning flames. Let's settle this live
3: This video was a mistake, you're giving the bullies the impression that they are getting to you
Dan Gutridge I agree. Join the next live chat
They never ask anyone to join the NRA. Go look at their videos. More fake news. Meh. YM doesn't deserve their time.of day.
I think you got it exactly!
They don’t have the balls. Chad knows he messed up.
+videodistro Are you serious?! They specifically tell you IN THIS VIDEO to join if you want the NRA to change. For something to be fake, it has not have happened...
I remember back in 1994 when the Clinton AWB came about, how the older gun owners, guys in their 60's, 70's and older more or less threw younger gun owners under the bus because they didn't like the guns that were being banned and they went along with the AWB because it didn't affect their guns. That created a huge divide among gun owners that still exists to this day, and the problem is that this divide has been there for some time. Some will give in, and some will not and some see that there are "reasonable compromises". I saw again here in NY when the Safe Act came out, there were the older owners again, happy to sell the rest down the river. We are all going to hang separately or we are all going to hang together. As Abraham Lincoln once said, a country divided against itself cannot stand. We need to stand together on this guys.
Amen. I have always stood behind what I believe in 100%. Either I'm 100% or nothing. I am a Army Veteran and I think that as long as I am in sound mind and judgment, that I should be able to own any gun of any type that I want. Thanks for all of Eric and Chads hard work and commitment.
No Chad wasn't misunderstood. 42.30 there is your timestamp, "whatever, if that's what it takes to please the crowd." But nice try at saving face. A straight up apology and manning up to what was said would have earned more respect. I respected Eric for his full out rejection of that statement but now here we are full CYA mode.
On which video
Did you listen to gun gripes 138
Slaughterzealibib you are 100% wrong on this. Chad was saying he'd at least have some respect for what they were trying if that's what the bill said. You are taking it out of context.
Twice Chad has said he was okay with them making bump fire stocks an NFA item go back and watch their video about the Las Vegas shooting that was the first time and then he was saying it again in the round table. And after Yankee Marshal released their brochure which shows how much it cost for a good reviews of products it's a little hard for me to believe that their impartial and don't have gun manufacturers interest as a top priority. Which I have no problem with any of that but this backpedaling is ridiculous and it's what's made me lose respect and the fact their angry about their brochure being released and threatening to sue shows that they're obviously hiding something that they don't want the general public to know and that's the fact their opinion can be bought!
Its a brochure... You make brochures so people can see your product. I assume they are offended for taking their motives and what they do for clients and viewers out of context.
Tier 2 states "4250.00 per video to cover production cost". Good Lord you guys need to cut some overhead. How can putting a camera on a tripod with a fresh SD card and then putting said card in a computer for editing cost so much???? The best part is sending another firearm in case the first one fails during video production so as not to hold up the glowing review of the product, wow, just wow
ive been watching you guys for 8 years and for me i will always watch this channel. i could care less what you guys do we are all family here lets stick together.
“Not 1 inch” that’s what she said
She did? Dude . . . I am so sorry.
1 inch off the ground
In that case, I'm so sorry for _her_
Sorry i just can’t watch this channel anymore, I’ve lost too much respect for you guys, ok so you charge 4,000 dollars for a review. I could ignore that, but then you threaten to sue TYM for exposing the truth. You guys should be ashamed of yourselves.
I'm curious about the legal action issue. The only one that has mentioned it is YM. He's the only one claiming that there was a possibility of legal, from what I have seen.
Yeah if you are going to have paid reviews, that's cool, just disclose its sponsored, but to be dishonest than threaten to sue, that's a bit iffy. The way I see it is if someone is sueing over simple information theres likely something to hide
R.I.P. Barry!
Paladin Perez can you imagine what Barry would have said if he was still alive? I miss his views!
David Dickerson he was honestly my favorite part of the channel. He brought this certain nuance to the videos. I especially miss him in the gun gripe videos.
I miss Barry heaps. He was no nonsense and would have been a good port in this current storm.
Barry was THE gun gripes videos. We all miss him!
That’s so cute. The waitress gave Chad crayons!
This gun control crap is bs. The guns had no choice but to do what the owner did with them. It's a tool, I own lots of firearms and they have not killed anybody so blame the people not the tool. I'm tired of hearing about gun control
"Hands Up, Don't Sue!"
$4000 for a gun review, Barry is probably rolling over in his grave. That's called selling out, man up and admit it.
I think it's kind of disrespectful to bring Barry into this. No matter what he did or didn't do, Eric loved Barry.
SPACE TRUCKER No disrespect meant, just assuming Barry probably wouldn't approve.
Poor Barry, R.I.P.
Yeah cuz you probably shouldn't charge when you have the best cameras your own firing range and you do this for a living it just doesn't make sense does it. Oh I forgot and when you have a family to feed and you have people on your payroll. Just totally mind-boggling why somebody would charge for a review,
i have watched your channel for about 2-3 years and i have never heard anyone make a false statement or lie. i have gotten a lot of great info from all of the people who have been on this channel. you are my brothers at heart.
These men are liars, $4000 for dishonestly is not anywhere on their website. In stead it writes: "Formal reviews are something we don't take lightly. In fact, I don't post a ton of reviews really. The reason is because I normally like to take my time trying out a product so I can make 100 percent sure I am giving an honest and accurate representation of it. This can sometimes equate to a 1000 rounds or more out of a given firearm, months of wearing a piece of kit, or years of use. Below are what I feel are some of the best reviews from our UA-cam exploits. Enjoy!"
I didn't see the panel so I don't know what the Gripe is about. I assume it's a go, no go argument about the NRA. I'm 100% pro 2A and I enjoy your vids.
Got to the TGC channel
ua-cam.com/video/SDeIwe7MFUo/v-deo.html the yankee version that spawned this fight.
Thanks! I will.
What you missed was the chat was a joke. Chad said he wouldn’t care if we had to fill out 4473’s or do a background check to get a bump stock. Or, you know, giving away our rights. One dude was in that chat stroking the NRA all night. He said he was personal friends with Lapiere. The only person who was a strong voice in that chat was Tim from Military Arms Channel.
Sadly this is what happens when money gets involved. People compromise their values for profit. So basically you are willing to compromise your integrity for a living. Good to know what type of person you are and associate with.
No idea what all the drama is about, but it was you two who got me into the 2nd amendment and firearms as a whole. I'm very grateful for your channel and in whatever way I can, you guys will always have my support. Keep it real, fellas.
Way to be the bigger man. I was expecting a pissing match/retaliation video. God job fellas.
Listen to the round table and make up your own mind. There was some questionable stuff said by many gun channels that made my eyebrows rise. Don't take anyone's word though, listen to it yourselves. I personally think much has been taken out of context. But there were some business guys that did say some things that personally blew my mind.
PartTimeJedi couldn't agree more. Some things that were said made me say "what can't believe that guy just said that who's side is he on".
Do you have a link to the round table?
NVM I found it, sorry to waste your time.
I understood CLP to say this is good for sales, he's all for it. All he cared about was the dollar and not our rights.
Only two channels had the balls to call out those profiteers and NRA shills... and it wasn't IV8888. He may truly love and support the 2nd amendment... but when his moment came to shine, I only heard MAC and one other speak out.
Kind of surprised to hear you make 4k for gun reviews. As an active duty Marine i watched you for several years on your word as a fellow service member that you were telling me your no bs honest opinion on a firearm or product. I get business and understand you need to make a living but damn. All in all a lesson has been learned, do research on who you take advice or product reviews from. I blame myself at this point, still a bit disheartening though.
"i watched you for several years on your word as a fellow service member that you were telling me your no bs honest opinion on a firearm or product." /// And how do you know you didn't get just that?
Not-Barry looks like he wants to cry! Not-Barry is blinking a thousand times a minute...
25puritan is there rules in the rule book on blinking?
God damn man I hope you guys are doing ok you must be so hard with all the money weighing you down
now we know how they went from "Moss Pawn&Gun" to.....5 of every rifle with SBR&supressor stamps #ivsellout4000
Not one inch unless you pay $4,000
Hey man any chance you could send the link to the video where it's mentioned? I've been looking for it I'm quite late to the party.
$4000 would make this guy give a California legal AR15 a positive review.
The reason I watch this channel is because I feel like you guys are good fellas. I believe that you guys really do care about our community. I order mancans when I can afford to because I enjoy the content you guys put out. Don't stop doing what your doing and keep up the good work.
Not one more inch is right!!!
YAY WOUND CHANNEL IS STILL WITH US
Hah you got duped by two NRA shills.
Not one inch. No. We're going to legislate forward and gain ground. We're going to repeal all the gun grabber laws. We're going to get our rights back. We're going to go further than that, and we're going to expand the gun rights in this country. That's the attitude and the outlook that we need, and that's the kind of people we need to elect, both in government and in whatever gun rights organization you choose to be a part of.
RedWolfConspiracy no thank you, we need gun restrictions... anybody who doesn't have a good reason has to turn in their weapons.. to many nutters out their with guns.
Like I said. There will be no debate. We're going to repeal those laws. We're going to also expand gun rights further than they've ever been. Election day will be the debate. Have a nice day.
RIP Barry 😢
What bothered me a little was Yeager (and people like him) do product reviews, they act like they're doing it as a favor to their manufacturer friends, then find out they're making thousands of $ per review, and then ASKING FOR PATREON DONATIONS so they can (keep making videos for us), like you're doing me a favor. A little dishonesty here.
Doesn't he have a list of channel sponsors in every video description?
Guess I need to check the fine print on each video to see if they are being honest about the product that's being pushed. I honestly assumed they were just helping out an industry brother or letting us know about a great product we should have.
A lot of these guy like Yeager and iv8888 act like they are doing us a favor. They are entertainment, are best, but they have moved on to think they are better than their viewers..then there's the dumb asses that paid to view them per video, unreal.
Don't you realize they are getting g paid already.
Besides this is free advertisment for their shop and what they sell, which is fine by itself
So... It's wrong to make money on a gun channel which is a business... Sometimes companies pay for these guys to review some products.... And it's a bad thing? I remember a series of videos where they burned out full auto ak47, ar15, glock and what not and burned through thousands of rounds... That cost a lot of money. How can they do that without getting paid?! Many of the videos they make come out of their patrons support and they get entertainment in return... And they make some cash I'm sure... But isn't that what a business is all about? They run a gun shop, Yeager runs a training facility as do many others... It's a BUSINESS people. There is only so much you can do for the love of it. Get over it.
Shane K
Yep. Every single paid review they have done to date has been listed in the videos description.
Now after knowing this, do you realize that you were a little quick to pass judgement?
The proof has been right under everyones noses the whole time. But now all of a sudden Yankee Marshal is lying to you by saying they were hiding this info. So between the two channels, which one is honest and which one is pushing a false agenda? Seems to me that Yankee is the one lying to his viewers.
I feel like for the first two minutes or so... Chad is staring at me through the camera. Sitting in my gym shorts eating cereal...He sees me and he's disappointed lol
Yankee Marshall can shove it where the sun don't shine.
BARRY!!!
Your channel is great !! Keep up the great work and videos god bless you both.
Are those crayons going to be the next big prize in the $100 man Can?
27 minutes of video and not once did either of you address the accusation that you are paid by gun manufacturers to do reviews of their products. You said a lot in the 27 minutes, but it’s what you didn’t say that speaks the loudest.
Get in a chat with YM and NEA and the rest of them. You can discuss the issues and hopefully come to an understanding. I think it would be more productive than just a response video.
1GuysDumbOpinion Yankee has one strategy: Steamroll. He doesn't debate
Everace ym is a dipshit idiot anyway
TYM voted for Hillary
TYM is an idiot
Since I don’t have $4000 laying around for a positive review I’ll take my ass elsewhere. Been subbed to this channel for years, but will not support such sellouts. Sure you won’t need my subscription but hopefully the many people that continue to unsubscribe make a point and let you know we don’t want sellouts. Also this comment could be deleted like many others.
I can say that I honestly enjoy your channel. If someone is misunderstanding where you guys are coming from, it is likely someone who WANTS to misunderstand you. I watch your videos regularly and rely upon them for your opinions. I appreciate you guys.
All the gun channel guys need to get together and Duel it out.. But wait dnt invite jerry miculek! That guy will kill ya in about .5 seconds!!
thats funny as fuck having said that im rather unhappy that my youtube world of shooting channels seems to be imploding i like all these assholes ....... seriously i really do wish theyd jusort this shit out (and yes i know its not that easy )
NEVER OBEY Jerry always carries that timer. I always thought it'd be hilarious if someone tried to get the jump on him. The last thing they'd hear is that beep.
M&P 2.0 Compact. Buy it. Carry it. Love it. Nobody paid me $4,000 to say this. I crack myself up!! People are hating because they can't charge 4K to review a firearm. My only thing is be honest about what you are doing.
Behind you guys 100%, 👍👍🇺🇸
I’ve been off the internet’s for about 2 weeks so I have no idea what opposition is being talked about. I have watched this channel for years and I have a very good idea of who you guys are and what you stand for. Even if I did disagree with whatever statement was made I wowing understand that it was coming from what you thought was best. I also know I could contact you and voice my opposition and we could have a respectful relationship. Like I said, I know who you are and I want to thank you for all of the things you do for this community. You made me get active and start talking to my representatives. I have learned a lot from this channel and I appreciate everything you do, even if I didn’t agree (but not saying I did)
Good luck with that lawsuit against Yankee Marshall.
Getting sick and tired of all the anti gun bs. May have to set my pc up with a bot to help send letters off
LOL should have a bot who auto dials every rep and leaves a default message too.
Ratkill9000 I’m not computer savvy, but if you could come up with an easy way to share it and get cub channels to spread the word that’d be awesome.
If I can figure out a macro program to send those emails I'll let you know. Easier said than done.
Ratkill9000 you don’t have to tell me, my pc limits are email, ms docs, UA-cam, and google. I’ve got a buddy that does that kind of stuff but I sure don’t have that skill set.
i support IV8888✊✊
Is that you Monahan?
As a very small youtube channel and content creator, and second amendment supporter, i recognize the effort you guys put into your channel. You make great videos. I know my comment is a little late, but i hope you guys keep on keeping on. I've been a subscriber for at least 6 years and i love your channel!
4 grand for a honest review. What does the truth cost?
I dont really agree with what Yankee said about you but that TGC round table was biased and you know it. There were more people passionate about the NRA than protecting our rights. The moderator (Jon) put spotlight on Clint and barely let anyone else talk. Horrible. Lets be real dude
Wow. You clearly didn't watch the chat. Put a timer on each speaker. Tim got the most time (by his rude behavior, cutting other people off). Clint was in the lower 3rd. Clueless.
I agree with you i watched the whole thing it was horrible !
You timed everyone? Tim was even silenced once and then spoke anyway cause the other dude had a bad internet connection. This isn't to mention the live chatters that got blocked. That discussion wasn't right. Clint seemed to have a lot of time to speak without interruption. Even saw his kids. No clue what any of the other guys kids look like.
What they should have done is given everyone 5 min to talk then on to the next person & when they started blocking that really chapped my ass everyone should have a right speak !!!
I am not a huge fan of TYM but you guys didn't refute or even deny a single thing he said about your business practices.
Call me naive, but I really never considered the huge bucks you are raking in with your youtube channel. And I am fine with that, but your business practices, and your secrecy about them, creates at least the appearance of a conflict of interests.
You went on and on about "unity" long after you should have put the conch shell away.
This is starting to look like a circular firing squad here and I suggest you avoid any more posts like this because it didn't really seem to help your case.
Guys I started my first shop in the 1970's . Everything that is going on now has happened in the past. Speaking of Brownells Pete's Grand Father gave me a tour of the business way before you guys were born. Pete was a kid. Anyway during all the years I was in the business this infighting has been a problem. There are many reasons. But my business position has always been "Ride Hard, Shoot Straight and Tell the Truth"!
That may cost you some Viewers/ Customers but your Honor will be intact. And at the age of 67 and being terminally ill I have to say your Honor is all your gonna have in the end. Now guys do what your honor tells you to do. Take care of your families and stand your ground.
You want to sue the Yankee Marshal for telling the truth? That just proves what he's been saying about you. You can take your conch shell and shove it.
Chad's magazine analogy at the end rings a little hollow when you know these guys get paid thousands of dollars by gun companies to make positive reviews that will move product.
And nice "crisis actor" moment at 2:50 in.
Gun Gripes #140: "IV8888 - Identity, Perception & Good Faith"
I'm a Texan, I've been a fan since the beginning. IraqVeterean8888 was a valuable education and research tool, a couple of Pawn Shop gun counter clerks (Eric & Barry/Chad) who shared their knowledge and experience as well as review firearms to educate the community about firearms and the etiquette associated.
IV8888 could be trusted to be unbiased and informative, Eric being a War Veteran garnered a high level of respect and trust.
The channel has grown massively since the Barry era and main-stayed a "for us, by us" mentality, the ManCans are marketed as a PBS style crowdfunding model to keep the channel aloft and provide us with more informative enrichment and unbiased reviews.
The connotation was, every subscriber bought ammo, every 10 subscribers bought a gun. We all new the contents of the ManCan were primarily sentimental swag, the value differential being an investment in the channel.
The channel has always portrayed itself as a family effort, being a homegrown effort, videos being 'fireside chats' (Gun Gripes) and 'buds with beer' (the review content.)
For several years, IV8888 and Eric were to be trusted and held with high degree of regard...then a clown came along....
TheYankeeMarshal is a sarcastic personality, known heckler. He made an accusation per his character, something harmless if left alone, something that could have been addressed in a professional manner as a casual after thought.
We come to this video, 'Gun Gripes #139'. In a behavior unbecoming of a soldier Eric adopted hostile demeanor toward the accusation, made the assumption that the clown was feeble and made a fierce denial.
Chad had his own problems, he's a good guy...live chats are obliviously not his element. Instead of directly facing his 42:18 GunCollective Chat remark, admitting that he was cut short in the middle of rebuking a 'nightmare scenario' he artfully crafted...He Instead Chose To Obfuscate Stupidity.
Back to Eric, turns out...The Clown was Pennywise. TheYankeeMarshal indeed had evidence in his possession, what does Eric do?
Does he just let the matter drop? After all he challenged that his accuser had no evidence to support his claim, was proven wrong in the court of public opinion.
Does Eric appear in TheYankeeMarhsal's Live chat, and sort things out professionally?
No, he threatens legal action...wow on the moral high ground.
Thing is what Yankee had was effectively...Nuclear.
IV8888 had marketed itself to us as an unbiased channel, in fact it charges manufacturers to promote and sponsor...not review their wares. That of course leads us to wonder what exactly our ManCan contributions go toward if the manufacturers/industry are already flipping the bill for the channel and then some, and to question validity of bias...which previously we all depended on being neutral.
We need a channel we know the biases of, we need a channel we can count on that provides content in a context we mutually understand.
As TheYankeeMarshal pointed out in his chat, we are sorely lacking a For Profit Gun Commercial Channel. A channel with a large install base where manufacturers can debut firearms and accessories and have them promoted successfully, so that the community can be made aware of said product's existence and research them elsewhere. The source of his scorn is that such a channel should be honest about being "corporate" and not abide an unintended false narrative of being a homegrown community supported review channel.
IraqVeterean8888 could be that channel...as long as Eric stops pouring kerosene on the bridge and starts acting like a former soldier of the US Military. Be the better man.
If TheYankeeMarshal is wrong, if we are wrong. Be upfront about the Industry pamphlets you circulate, show us "behind the scenes" where their money goes, where our money goes.
You have Two Options to regain our trust, our faith, Pick One.
Yeah.stick by your opinion.I like your content.Please go back to your reviews don't spend more time on this you got your message out there.Let the other channels do what they want.I could care less.Hang in there good job.
DO NOT GIVE ANOTHER INCH OF YOUR RIGHTS.
THIS SHIT STOPS NOW!!
IV8888, Sootch and Hickok45 are the only ones I watch.
Wayne Willis sootch is a infomercial tool who makes money saying everything is awesome even when the products we know are shit.
I'll add Paul Harrell to those 3.
What about Forgotten Weapons?
Boz Boz, I'll agree with that to some extent. He admits he doesn't post things he doesn't like, which seems kinda sketchy, as if he would be black listed from some company from getting T&E products or something.
Wayne Willis So the 3 big channels that are essentially one big commercial?
My Grandfather smoked his whole life. I was about 10 years old when my mother said to him, 'If you ever want to see your grandchildren graduate, you have to stop immediately.'. Tears welled up in his eyes when he realized what exactly was at stake. He gave it up immediately. Three years later he died of lung cancer. It was really sad and destroyed me. My mother said to me- 'Don't ever smoke. Please don't put your family through what your Grandfather put us through." I agreed. At 48, I have never touched a cigarette. I must say, I feel a very slight sense of regret for never having done it, because this video gave me cancer anyway.
