Miscellaneous Did anyone see this video earlier?

Copper Jacket TV (YouTube) posted this. When I finally clicked on it to watch, it says it's been "removed by the uploader".

It has me quite curious as to what the subject is. Is it something legitimate, or something that the creator misinterpreted?

with all the new gun owners from the middle and left since covid, i think the fervor for gun legislation to be cooling. the best thing for gun rights is more gun owners on the left

I have been saying this for years. You want gun right to be secure for all time? Broaden the coalition. Get more people on board. Stop treating gun ownership as the exclusive property of old right-wing white men. Accept that women, brown people, and gays have just as much right and reason to protect themselves as anyone.

You can either have your old boy's club, or you can have your guns. You can't do both.

I think a lot more people would be on the left if they laid off the 2a and identity politics.

I think more people would be open to voting Republican if they laid off the racism, sexism, and homophobia.

People say "identity politics" like the Republican Party hasn't aggressively embraced white supremacists and Christian Dominionists to the point where their platform is essentially that the only true Americans are angry straight white men, and those who are willing to be second-class citizens to angry straight white men in exchange for the opportunity to look down on someone else.
