Question of the Day: Is This Gun Guy Funny?

Robert Farago - comments No comments

Colion Noir made his YouTube bones with short, sardonic analysis of American gun culture. He’s since moved on to, well, everything else. When it comes to high production gun porn fun, nobody does it better than the NRA spokesman. Into the breach (dear Horatio) steps Josh Pray . . .

Funny or die?

  1. I might add that originally the DCM was created to get new or young shooters into the shooting sports by making low cost surplus arms avaible to them. Now fast forward to the newly crated greed monger CMP (Criminal Modern Parasites) that have destroyed the original intent of the program in order to rape everyone of every last penny they can get making an obscene mockery of the intent of the original program but then again how many gun owners know anything about even their own country’s history. Obviously not many as they keep getting robbed by these parasites.

  2. There is a YouTube video, made in 2015, now “unavailable” called “Rochelle Hathaway’s Insane Splits”, that apparently showed her shooting with Team Taran Butler. She is apparently not just a booth babe hired only to showcase the product and has a deeper history than expected.

    In fact there are many, now unavailable, videos of her training and shooting with Team Taran. My guess is that Nick was right when describing her as a sponsored shooter.

  3. I saw Taran walking around SHOT. If you can call it walking. It was more like parading around SHOT. He was Flanked by FIVE Female Spokesmodels on each side. One of whom was Rochelle. All the women, and Taran were wearing the exact same outfit; the same outfit Rochelle is pictured above wearing. Back in the 90s I used to have bike shorts that had that pattern on them. Anyway, he and his entourage just looked like a bunch of Clowns. Probably a good thing only the girl’s boobs were hanging out, I don’t think I could bear to see Taran’s.

  4. Yes, I found it funny. He pokes fun at the redneck gun nut stereotype, yet remains respectful. This country desperately needs racial humor like this. The country will be a better place when a white person can make a video like this and nobody freaks out.

  5. I don’t know anyone who names their guns but I’ve always found that odd about cars… people naming cars that is.

    Other than that it’s pretty funny how close to reality he is.

    I’ve gone shooting with black friends of mine who thought I was crazy as fuck for the reasons he lists. We all laughed and had a good time about it but you can tell that once you’re gone they talk to each other like “Damn, white boy is fucking crazy!”. Then a few days later you’re over at their place and they’ll bring it up. There’s some ribbing and then one of them says “Fuck man, if zombies or some other shit happens we’re coming over to YOUR house” to which the other guys (and sometimes gals) agree.

    Really, where he gets down to it I think he’s right that there’s a cultural difference here. White people who are “in to” guns are generally “gun people” and are really in to it. We get into it like some people get into collecting stamps or coins or classic cars. Once we start we don’t stop. Black people who have guns generally are far more… utilitarian perhaps… about it. IME it’s more common for them to have a pistol or two or an AR, a shotgun and a pistol as opposed to a fleet of AR’s or a 40 gun safe stuffed full of rifles and pistols.

  6. I’m disappointed to hear about Maren Morris’ views on gun control. I do like her music but will now have to reconsider that. I was really surprised recently when I read that Tim and Faith came out for gun control also. Not good. I would much prefer that artists practice their art and forsake the politics. I do not pay to hear their slanted political views, as most of them have little in common with average persons who work and worry about their family’s safety each day.

  7. A toy gun for a throwdown is actually quite smart. The toy guns are visually quite convincing and since you can just buy them over the counter, there is no registration or paper trail to get you in trouble.

  8. Even for the WaPo that is lame. Secure gun storage? You mean like the combination gun safe the woman had in Newtown Conn? That did a great job. Funny thing about that incident, I seem to recall that putting 4 into Mom at close range while she sleeps is against some number of laws and oddly didn’t seem to have any effect on the perpetrator whatsoever.

  9. The federal government doesn’t have the authority to pass a ‘safe storage’ law. It certainly wouldn’t fit under the commerce clause since there’s no commerce here to regulate. Not that the federal government would ever pass an unconstitutional law…

    Also, WaPo should google ‘Merced Pitchfork Massacre’.

  10. “… was simply reading testimony someone prepared for her …”

    Useful idiots taking their marching orders. I don’t even think they’re paid, well maybe lunch and some gas money. The majority of their supporters are either retired or on public assistance. Most people have to earn a living and don’t have time for this nonsense.
