That is exactly why I made this video.  To attempt to explain the moron idiot masses a few basic principles, like natural law and why folks who just ended an 8 year war that started over a gun grab just might have put 2A in the constitution so it wouldn't happen again.  Unfortunately, if people are too stupid to understand this, then they are too stupid for freedom.  Mind you I didn't say they didn't deserve freedom, I said too stupid.  Like giving a hand grenade to a spider monkey.

I agree with this. I can't take you seriously in those glasses and that hat with the camo backdrop. If we were shooting at the range, it would be a different story, but we're not at the range.

Quoted:
Long-winded, rambling (i.e. without a clear focus), and your appearance undermines whatever you are trying to say.  Wearing sunglasses while trying to speak to people and educate them is not an ideal choice.  Plus, sitting with a cap and zipped-up coat, in front of camo netting, runs the risk of giving the appearance of some "militia" leader or fringe group - whether it's true or not is irrelevant, because perception is what matters, and a lot of people will just click "back" the second they see your appearance.

Also, when you start out (in the crucial opening of the video), it is NOT CLEAR who your audience is.  Are you trying to educate fellow gunowners - who may not have thought deeply about these issues - or are you trying to educate the non-gunowner, who doesn't have a clue at all.





Thanks for your opinion, I appreciate your response.  

I disagree that the point is long winded or unfocused.  You have to cover a few things when teaching someone the basics about the Second Amendment.  Most people have no clue what it is or why it was enumerated.  They don't know about natural rights.  It can be said with no less, it in fact needs far more.

As far as the "costume", quite the opposite is true.  I "toned it down" for this video.  So far I have received far more crap for it then when I was in "full costume" in my other videos.  As far as audience retention the vast majority (>80%) of people stay until the end.  Now I will admit that I try to keep the videos as short as possible because folks just don't have the attention spans they used to, hence my "it can be said with no less".

I don't spell out my audience because I hope to educate as many folks as I can, pro and anti gun.  The anti gunners may hope for a lunatic but that is not what they will find, disagree or not.

In the end, I am just trying to help.  It takes lots of work to put together these videos with little reward.

I am sure glad I can make all these videos while sitting at home on welfare.  Heck, I divorced my wife just so I could rent my house out to her section 8.  She gets the SNAP, Obamaphone, Heating and Cooling assistance, free Comcast.  Did I mention I am her live in boyfriend?

If you are going to consider making a YT channel you absolutely have to brand it in some fashion.  If I were asked to publicly speak (which I do all of the time) then no, I would not dress like this.  If my YT "character" were asked to publicly speak he absolutely would be dressed like this.  It happens all of the time with YT folks.  Another reason for my costume is I really need to differentiate YT from real life because I do deal with the public.

Why have you wasted so much time on thread about a youtube channel that you are going to ignore anyways?  I frequent another firearms related website where people will actually collaborate and work together on things and not constantly flame one another.  I asked folks what they thought and so far I've gotten "good video" and quit dressing like a whack job.  DK stated I was long winded and rambling.  I disagree.  I made the points I intended to make with as few words as possible.  I appreciate the fact that DK actually touched on the content.  Beyond that no one has commented on the content.

Regarding the costume, get over it.  I'm not going to change it.  If you don't want to watch, don't.  But if you don't watch how the hell can you criticize what I say?  Heck, I'll just start wearing a plate carrier in the next video with an "AR-10" name badge.

As far as me wanting views, that comment reminds me of folks who criticize a corporation for making money
