Oh, piss off. Not the place for politics. If you want to talk guns or machining or outdoors or what have you, welcome. If you're going to post about marxism, or rant about how much you hate the negros, or how "TrUe CommUnIsm hAs nEveR BeeN tRiEd", or how gee whiz maybe hitler was on to something, then fuck off, there's better places for that. I hate this influx, I miss my 1 post a week opchan. Damnit, am I old?

Just like normal /pol/tards, I'd recommend not using a name or a trip. We've had a fair amount of ""non-freedom"" (not hard anti-freedom to various degrees) views on here and they really just ultimately prove that more freedom is the best way. So post , just be prepared to be debated.

Lefties that can contribute about weapons topics? Great!
You have any experience in early metallic cartridge guns like the .60 Snider or the pictured .45/75 Winchester for the Winchester Model 1876 lever-action rifle?

Well Ian from Forgotten Weapons is a leftist

>I miss my 1 post a week opchan
except that's a recent thing, ya newfag.
> Not the place for politics.
except this is /t/ - Talk.
y'know, a place for talking about shit?
I don't give a fuck if you wanna talk politics as long as it doesn't get too heated. and better here than in /n/.

proof-a-doodle-doo

>>113429
My sense of time is pretty shit but I feel like it's been super slow for a few years at least. Maybe not 1 post a week but hyperbole is a thing.

>>113429

I watched a video where Ian says he's definitely not a communist or a fascist (maybe right after George Floyd's death). He also says he tries to stay 'apolitical' as much as possible on his videos. Don't have a link, though. He has too many videos to comb through.

  To my knowledge Ian isn't a socialist but he's not a idiot either, he's dunked on Rhodesia fanboys and "muh whyte gebbocid in south africa" types before and IIRC has said some stuff in the past about racism in the firearms industry/community.

Karl is a member of the Satanic Temple and has done a few videos with InRange with a more political bent, most recently one about black people being murdered by the police after Katrina.

  >>113433
I've watched a lot of his videos and can confirm he stays out of politics, which is a very wise policy when it comes to making YouTube content since the platform is well known for banning popular content creators over ideological disagreements.

I'm sure with a massive collection like he has though, he's probably been peeved quite often about gun control laws as anyone inevitably would. His friend who makes InRangeTV though does make videos about historical shootings, but they seem to be balanced objective accounts for the most part from what I've seen.

Ok, y'all piqued my interest so I dug a little and found this thread on plebbit: https://www.reddit.com/r/weekendgunnit/comments/8ljndf/press_s_to_spit_on_grave/dzg8cn7/
The original image image is gone but I suspect it was the same one in >>113440

>>113441
>lol sub's closed

>Seriously guys, you brought this on yourselves by not listening and making this place what it is today vs keeping it what it was supposed to be, so it's either this, or all the mods are eventually removed and replaced by users of the admins choosing before it gets banned anyway, or it gets outright banned without that extra step.

>Scuttling the ship is preferable to keeping 100k morons from steering it into an iceberg.

lol

>>113443
Yeah dangit. Happened just a few hours after I made that post apparently, and now I realize I should have screencapped it.
It was basically Ian saying "I'm not a commie, socialist or antifa. I keep things apolitical in my videos".

They closed the board because plebbit just banned a bunch of boards under the guise of "hate speech". Some were only vaguely right-leaning, some were... a bit more so.

>>113429
To be fair I miss 2008 OPchan.

>>113423
I've slowly drifted from "background checks for private sales is a sensible and acceptable control" to "Let convicted felons own recreational howitzers."

I sort of miss Cleo.

>>113470
y tho

>>113470
Me too.

Echo chambers are boring.

>>113470
Maybe the coronavirus killed her?

>>113488
doubtful. haven't seen her since '17 or so

>>113470
I miss Texas Babe...

>>113492

>>113495
That's not the picture set I was thinking of. <_<

But still, would have.

>>113500
I think posting the other ones is a bannable offense.

>>113501
It was... prolly still is.

>>113501
well it definitely is in /t/
>>113508
i don't think so? at least, i don't care.

>>113509
Was back in the day. I think Swissguy made the statement... which dates it pretty far back.

But that is only from memory.

>>113512
Yeah I don't recall who said it, but I think she requested they not be posted and the mods agreed to enforce it.

  obligatory

Her nudes are probably still bannable, I don't think the admin crew has changed enough that it's been 'unbanned'. It's largely just irrelevant, how many of us actually talked to her and are still here?

Also, CLEO wasn't the issue. The issue was the blatantly-obvious Russian shills constantly starting shit ANYWHERE she posted. Honestly, the psy-ops campaign was probably the last nail in the coffin for a lot of users here. We can like guns without being a mouthbreathing fuckhead who thinks people that are different are somehow less.

Double Also, the shoots, wtf is wrong with y'all. The Canadians make it a blacktie affair, while a bunch of you guys take your shirts off and remind us why our shared interests give us a bad rap with the average person.

>>113465

Opchan movie nights, when GenKill was new, most of us were current or recently former service members, Serv's inability to operate a website still hadn't reared it's head, I was putting together a naval security company...

It was a better time.

>>113517
Ah, yes. The good old days when we all just admitted we were retarded, ignored serv, and fucked around.

>>113537

We weren't retarded, we just hadn't realized we were actual autists yet.

>>113559
you're not autistic, you're just yet another flaming faggot who wants to falsely identify as "damaged" because you're in denial about being genuinely inferior

>>113562

Gonna have to agree, we were pretty dumb if we're honest. Surprisingly few of us got van'd. Can't remember who it was that took an armed RC plane to a public range for testing, but that was pants on head retarded.

>>113562
Welcome. Get Out.

>>113516

Clio was a noguns SJW Eurotrash piece of shit who was unliked by many, not just that one Russian guy with broken English.

I just wish she was still here when Tarrant shot up that mosque so that I could laugh at her.

>>113598
Wrong pretty sure it's spelled Cleo

>>113599

Are we talking about the same French muslim apologist?

>>113598
Eurotrash? I thought she was from extreme north NYS for some reason.

>>113601
you're confusing her with a different man pretending to be a woman that you saw on a different website around the same time.

>>113598
She was actually from Northern New York. When I had my mod login I checked her IP to see if she actually worked at a SUNY school and it checked out.

>>113604
My bad then, looks like I got my memories mixed up. Probably because she defended islamists in France and Clio is a French car, so maybe that's why my brain made the connect.
Still scum of the earth if you ask me though.

>>113516
Heh, probably right. Not many left.

Last I heard she was heading to Mexico to do work for some Catholic NGO.

I never even knew about the porn addiction thing. Least if I did I forgot. Poor lass.

The US OPchan no tops thing was CRINGE.
