I want to see you do some Second Amendment advocacy.

@jbrannon509 He has a valid point. This is the biggest gun channel on YouTube, and he needs to start doing some advocacy.

@futbolplaya07 But his fun videos deal with a right that is under attack. He can keep making fun videos, we'd all just like him to throw a few words about protecting our rights here. Almost nobody else has the reach that he has, and he ought to use that reach for good.

@jbrannon509 I don't expect him to do Second Amendment advocacy on his veterinary channel or his third channel. But he is a bona fide "gun celebrity". He has a voice that can be used to reach people who otherwise wouldn't be reached. I like the Yankee Marshall too, but he's an old crank who is just preaching to the choir. Matt here has seven million subscribers, plus however many more who at least sometimes watch his videos. This is a gun channel. Guns are inherently political - they shouldn't be, but they are. If you're going to be in a position where you have a voice in the gun community and you profit from the gun community, it's not too much to ask to expect a little bit back. I'm not asking for much, just a few words at the beginning of his videos urging his followers to support the Second Amendment, and suggesting a couple of ways it can be done.

@FLmanAzonehit Exactly. Nobody cares what I think. A lot of people care what he thinks. And since that is the case, he ought to lend his voice to a very important cause.

@jbrannon509 I'm sure there are few if any dedicated anti-gun people watching, but I suspect that there are many people watching who aren't aware of the attacks on our rights or of the importance of preserving them. Maybe even some "that's cool, but you shouldn't be able to own that" types. Basically, people who are uninvolved or on the fence on the Second Amendment who could be swayed. I understand that this channel is primarily about entertainment, not advocacy, and I'm not suggesting that he should give up blowing stuff up and shooting various things, but if he spent maybe 30 seconds in his videos on just a little bit of advocacy before he got to shooting various crazy things, it would help.

@FLmanAzonehit He may be pro-2A but never says anything about it. Never talks about fighting against these unconstitutional "red flag" laws or universal background checks. Never once mentions anything having to do with attacks on the Second Amendment. He has some cool guns and he blows shit up, but he does nothing to ensure that all of us will be able to get, and keep, those guns. A quick "support GOA/FPC/SAF" would be nice. Or a "remember to call your senators and tell them not to cripple the Second Amendment with more unnecessary and unconstitutional laws".

@jbrannon509 It helps when Internet debates take place without howling insults.
