      one of the first gun channels I found on YouTube was this guy and I dropped it after just a couple weeks of watching their backlog – sometimes interesting content, abrasively political host. I have since found better replacements, but I sincerely hope nobody allows this dipshit guntuber near the levers of power.

        I got into it with the Darwin award videos, thought it was an interesting way to teach gun safety. I had to bail too, the guy is insufferable and comes off as disingenuous despite clearly trying too hard not to.

        “abrasively political” is a good way to put it. Care to share your replacements ? I would love to find some with non-shit politics (aside from Karl from inRange TV who’s mostly ok as far as I know ?)

          I mean, so far I haven’t heard Gunbelievable say anything one way or the other about politics, just a lot of cutting snark at bad guns and manufacturers of them.

          I’m told Forgotten Weapons may or may not be hiding fascist sympathies (I heard a rumor this is why he and Karl drifted apart), but I’ve watched them for years and haven’t actually seen anything like that with my own eyes, and the parties involved aren’t talking about it, so… he’s fairly impartial? Maybe? I haven’t yet seen anything concrete to suggest he’s a big Trump fan.

          This is not to say I know for a fact they’re solidly in the “good guntube” camp like Karl, just that I can’t point to anything that says “this person is a cunt”

    The comments, first reported by CNN, include Herrera taking aim at people he opposes politically, and women. In a 2023 video, he said that a gun range dummy’s empty head was “full of mush – much like the average Austin feminist”, and in a separate 2024 video, he likened the weight of “angry blue-haired” feminists to that of orca whales and elephants.

    In 2020, Herrera filmed himself firing a gun at bottles of ranch dressing and, after they exploded, rubbing the condiment on to himself and declaring that this would “make me irresistible to the fat bitches”. While discussing the merits of a car on X in 2023, Herrera opined that “4 doors means more whores”.

    Wow-hoowww. Texas! Mmm-mmm! That’s some miserable ass parenting there.
