That kind of sucks. I mean as far as gun tubers go he is on the left of that spectrum, but I guess that's a pretty low bar. Ian always struck me as a libertarian of some sorts. His buddy Karl from InRange TV has taken a lot of flack on gun forums and what not for vocalizing support for the trans community. I think that guy might be a Socialist of some kind maybe.
Thanks for the heads up on that, though. I had no idea. I haven't kept up on his newest videos, but he has such a backlog that idk if I ever will. I only watch the main videos occasionally so I would have had no idea about that other crap he puts on his page. Definitely disappointing.
Ian is a low quality person and it's rather disappointing. I'm not sure what his political stance is beyond "will this make/lose me money?" He got dropped by Brownells for trying to make an arranged deal on a gun that was supposed to go up for auction.
Ian refused to stand up for Karl when Karl was being attacked for asserting that the 2nd amendment is for everyone (along with all guaranteed rights, more generally). He straight-up refused to say that human rights apply to everyone because he knew it would piss off a good chunk of his audience.
He has a history of bad behavior, but he's been very good about keeping it quiet, so most people he fucks over think it was an isolated incident.
