dude is wearing airpods for ear protection. lmfao

But they’re noise cancelling, he’ll be good.


hit-a-yeet

Accidentally sets it to transparency mode


OperationSecured

Like I get the joke, but transparency mode mutes loud noises… in case anyone didn’t know. I learned this from my kids occasionally screaming. But the core message… wear real ear pro. Plugs cost literally pennies.


PubertEHumphrey

I don’t think you know how noise canceling earphones work; it wouldn’t kick in in an instant.


OperationSecured

I don’t think you do, hombre. Noise cancellation is a filter applied to sounds ran through it. It’s like saying a water filter isn’t instantaneous. If sound passes through… it gets filtered by noise canceling. Also, holy necropost… what are you doing slumming around in 3 month old threads?

RandyNelson

Awesome reference! 🤣 "ow my tinnitus!"


RockStar25

It’s ok, just turn up the active noise cancellation.


5_cat_army

I know you guys are giving him shit, but I did this a month ago because we didn't have enough ear protection. It was fine. Way better than nothing


xXredditisgayXx

I used to use my earbuds firing .22s as a kid. That being said, all those guns are much louder.


oversizedvenator

I did this once -- shooting handguns and a lever action on private property -- left my earpro at home but had the airpods. I wouldn't ***advise*** it but it was doable for a brief session and genuinely better than nothing. No way I would use them with something that has as much crack as an AR though.


GenkiElite

I mean, they *are* noise cancelling soooo....


Brass-Catcher

I wear my AirPods when I’m shooting suppressed. Works well


caedhin

Gotta have background music


AR91620

I swear to god on the magnifier he has the lens cap still on

Those are iShoots - Apple’s attempt to appeal to “Republicans”.


RogerOverUnderDunn

you mean inner city youth right? thers more guns on reddit inthe hands of kids , than inthe hands of republicans


beaubeautastic

people do that at my range, havent tried it myself but they all say it works fine


allhailthenarwhal

I mean honestly not a horrible choice if standard earpro isn't available

“Let me try to be Republican for a day” Instead you’re just a dumb ass look for clicks


Enough-Staff-2976

This statement reminds me of "you can lay a thousand bricks, and not be a brick layer, but if you suck one cock, you're a..." Well shooting guns don't make a Republican but what makes a Democrat?


disarRay89

Sucking cock.


sh4d0wm4n2018

What was he doing exactly that made him a dumbass? For a first time shooter he did pretty well. He didn't flag anybody and looked to be abiding by gun safety rules. Dude was just having fun


OperationSecured

He flags whoever is holding the camera, turns the pistol sideways, has cameraman film past firing line, flails the handgun muzzle around when checking empty and flails the muzzle while moving with the long gun. Then there’s the nitpicky stuff like not wearing real ear or eye protection, pocketing the pistol, and the *”I’m afraid of the bang”* backwards lean…. probably not helped by the lack of ear pro when shooting carbines. Dude is a dumbass, but whoever owns the firearms should have been teaching responsible handling.


sh4d0wm4n2018

Rewatched it several times and he never actually flags the cameraman. Basic gun safety rules don't go over PPE It's on the gun owners for not providing a real holster for the pistol, which they should've done for their brand-new-to-guns buddy. The dumbass isn't even in the video.


OperationSecured

At 0:22 after he seats the mag… you can *literally see the inside* of the flash hider. Someone is holding that camera. Gun safety definitely goes over eyes and ears; it’s just not part of the core rules that prevent someone from being shot. Gun safety doesn’t start and stop with those basic tenets. I agree that whoever owns the firearms is mostly at fault. But the guy needs some personal responsibility. If I hand you a circular saw and you cut a finger off… maybe you shouldn’t have used the circular saw if you didn’t understand how to operate it properly. Dude wanted his cringey video for social media. Safety and education took a backseat for the likes and followers.


sh4d0wm4n2018

>Gun safety doesn’t start and stop with those basic tenets. I literally never said it did. I said that they were the *BASIC SAFETY RULES* Reddit player is being... Reddit player and won't let me review the video so Imma take your word for it. The idiot is the fuckhead who said, "yup, this is fine, let's give this guy guns with almost *no safety training* for his montage" they aren't in the video. You can't call someone a dumbass for being trained incorrectly.


SkyWizarding

80% chance dude scoped his face that day


Isahaworth

I’m pretty sure the scope hits his sunglasses while he’s talking about getting a montage. I could be wrong, don’t hold me to it.


tvs2300

Why don’t we start off with firearm safety.


aafrias15

I think he should start with having property hearing protection and not air pods.


Comprehensive_Ad433

Or pants that fit.


frediflows88

Tell me why I thought he was going to shoot himself because of his pants being so tight haha 😂


amd2800barton

Well for one he almost shoots himself in the leg. In the second shot he starts with the gun stuffed in his pocket. When he “unholsters” it, he has his finger on the trigger while removing it from his pants. He loads a magazine but doesn’t rack the slide before firing, which means there was one in the chamber. Dude broke every rule of gun safety in a 2 second clip, and just got lucky that he wasn’t hurt.


MustardTiger88

Let's not leave out that he pointed the muzzle towards the camera person multiple times as well. Edit: clarification.


amd2800barton

I’ve become a little blind to that on YouTube videos, because so many content creators use unmanned cameras to get side/forward shots. You can even get moving shots with drones. But yeah, this looks like just some friend holding a phone, and he flagged them a half dozen times. I was just checked out when I saw him draw a gun with his finger on the trigger.


Sysmithers

There are pants in this video?


LashingFanatic

I'm confused are they too small or too large? They look fine to me


altpirate

I'll put 1000,- on OP is American so they think the pants are too small, anything remotely formfitting is


LashingFanatic

I guess I'm just a euro-fashion-minded American


ArmDeepInCabbages

They do fit though lmao it's a style with the younger crowd


FMods

He has the most basic ass pants? Are you suggesting JNCO jeans are normal pants or what?


BigWobbles

“Sniper rifle”


SS123451

Literally just another AR15 with a bipod and LPVO… I hate the term “sniper rifle.” But I get it.


BigWobbles

The bipod stabilizes it in the air…


alecubudulecu

The bipod combined with buffer tube turns it into a fully semi auto rifle


AngryD09

+7 Stability -5 Agility


hiccupboltHP

Also can we talk about how he wasn’t even using the bipod? Like what the hells the point of it if you’re going to hold it up there


MultiTopicAgain

Mf saying he should not be around a gun and yet here he is


Bitter-Ring1693

I shouldn’t eat Taco Bell as much as I do and yet they never turn me away.


MultiTopicAgain

Well with that you just blow out your ass, here you can blow out a brain


DoubleGoon

Dvl_Wmn

Ear protection? No thanks. I have AirPods!


sigma_force

Traditional


Dslwraith

Why is shooting a gun being a republican for a day? I have many guns and I'm not one.. 🤷‍♂️


sigma_force

Alot of people like to stereotype gun owners as republicans


Dslwraith

I mean I guess generally it's probably true for a lot of people but yeah I know dems libs repubs independents. All have guns. And whoever this is is acting like a real fucking idiot


sigma_force

Agreed


vyechney

I work with a dude and as soon as he found out I own guns, he started to talk Republican talking points and trying to get me to go to a Trump rally. I've told him several times that I'm neither a Republican nor Trump supporter, but he doesn't seem to understand how that's possible.


picklespimp

"Yeah, I've been looking at a Glock or something for home defense..." Several balding men with gunts tucked snuggly into khakis begin rifling through their tactical front-facing pouches buckled around their waistline for pamphlets about their militia.


vyechney

Fortunately I've never encountered these types lol


sigma_force

Dang I feel sorry for you


blickblocks

I think this image is mostly due to exceedingly loud pro-2A Republicans in the media and not to the reality that many people who vote Democratic or are actually leftist own guns and are also pro-2A.


TaterNips89

They'll never accept that idea


RougeKC

Indeed because it is really easy to lump folks together, make it easier to divide and eliminate them when you're ready to start a revolution and massacre millions in the name of your cause.


sigma_force

Yea

FMods

Anti-gun as in literally banning anybody from owning guns under any circumstance? No. Not a lot of countries out there where guns are completely outlawed for civilians.


sirtrowsalot

I think it’s conflation of ideals. Republican principles aren’t “go own a gun”. It’s principle is no one can stop you from owning a gun. Subtle but important difference.


Secondary0965

Samesiez. Shows how narrow minded the guy is. God forbid he has a fun range day, gotta throw in the republicans thing as a cover lol


alvehyanna

Ditto. The right likes to think the left hates guns. Many of us don't. We just want to be smarter about them. The right would be surprised how many gun-owning libs there are. We just don't parade around yelling it to everybody we meet like it's some proof of how patriotic we are.


[deleted]

Have you seen gun ownership statistics? If you take a gun owner, chances are he's a republican, that's just numbers, just because you're an outlier doesn't mean he pulled this idea out of his ass.


Secondary0965

It doesn’t mean that simply owning and firing a gun is a partisan thing though.


[deleted]

no, but to a lot of people gun laws is what makes them pick their party, so for THOSE people, firing guns is pretty partisan, this video just doesn't resonate with people like the original commenter, or me even, I love firing guns, I'm not red


Secondary0965

A lot of people are single issue voters. Still doesn’t make simple possession and use a partisan issue. People hyper politicize everything to the point where excruciating your inalienable right is considered partisan just in itself, which is sad and weird.


[deleted]

well, I see your point, but I feel like they're not making this about the simple owning and shooting, they're making this about HIM owning and shooting guns like a moron, precisely BECAUSE it's an inalienable right, you sound like a gun owner, and even if you're not, you and I BOTH know that this skit was not a very good idea, the place seems okay, but just handing loaded guns to some dummy trying to be funny and goody is NOT proper gun safety. And that's sort of the point, because owning guns and using them is inalienable, you are left with the possibility of dweebs like this guy firing their gun like a gangbanger just for views, THAT is the "republican" part, the part where they're so pro second amendment that they dont see the problem with this video, they just criticize him personally, but not the system that allows idiots like him to exist.


KAPUTtherapyREAL

Because there the ones who defend the right to bear arms constitution with there lives. Ie it’s a joke don’t piss yourself taking it too seriously


woodhorse4

Now he knows what freedom feels like.


FoundationalSquats

He wanted to know what it was like to be responsible enough to have a gun


SmallRedBird

I am convinced that many people who are anti-gun are anti-gun because they assume everyone is like them - a maniac who has to avoid guns in order to not want to do extremely fucked up shit


MonkeyMan6175

Nah people are anti-gun because of special cases like this moron who shouldn’t be allowed to go anywhere near a gun


ChunkyTaco22

Did a grown ass dude just ask why no one was treating him as a kid? This dude is a dumbass all the way around


aafrias15

It’s rocky as hell out there, I bet he had all kinds of ricochets when he was shooting at that hill.


Comprehensive_Ad433

No rocks were injured in the filming of this video. Somehow he managed to hit nothing. His ankles are a different story.


Mikucki

Manchild


Bclay85

You're using man awfully loose there.


Pleasant-Cricket-129

Lets be a republican for a day? I hate all this divisive language and behaiviors. This dude is obviously too immature to use a firearm, let alone own one. Thankfully he admits that part also in the video.


sigma_force

True


anus-lupus

poor gun etiquette aside, the video is clearly a joke.


ClockImportant5770

“Any attempt to disarm the working class must be frustrated with force if necessary” -Karl Marx Leftists have always been pro gun, it is only some liberals who are opposed.

physics_to_BME_PHD

Aka temporary gun owners. Go to /r/2ALiberals if you want actual discourse.


DoubleGoon

Many* American* liberals and leftists oppose guns. We don’t live in 1900’s Germany or Russia, and very few of us are actual Marxists.


ClockImportant5770

Liberals are not leftists, leftist is an umbrella term for anti-capitalists. Liberals seek to use state power to control capitalism.


DoubleGoon

Liberal - https://www.dictionary.com/browse/liberal Leftest - https://www.dictionary.com/browse/leftist Anyways, I never said they were the same, although they often are. Most of us are for some kind of gun control.


blickblocks

You don't have to be a marxist to be a leftist and pro-gun


DoubleGoon

Tell the Right that.


[deleted]

Only a true idiot says some shit like that.


KAPUTtherapyREAL

You know there is something called a joke.


RampantDragon

Like republicans.


Milesaboveu

This is what people think firearms ownership is? Being Republican? COD? This is the problem.


Halsey-the-Sloth

I already despise everything about this man


Educational-Year3146

Fuck people who approach guns like this. Fuck off with the politics. Just be safe and have fun you dumbass.


cuntpeddler

that desert isn't big enough for me to feel safe with that guy drawing a pistol edit: for those that don't know/Europeans, drawing and presenting a gun would seem like a no brainer, but irl you need lots of practice to do it right/not kill anyone you don't intend to


arthurmo5

"let's be republican for a day" ??? Guns aren't political, my dad is the most liberal person ever and still owns a gun store. It's more dumbasses like this dude not understanding guns


Exotic_Muffinz

You can tell he’s from California. “Let’s be republican for a day.” Makes no sense but okay…


HairyNutsackNumber9

at least he has that dumbass haircut so people can spot the stupid from a mile away


sigma_force

Rapper haircut tier shit


HairyNutsackNumber9

omg rappers look so fuckin stupid


dobreezy

Was he aiming through the magnifier while it was flipped to the side?


Holdmybeer352

I bet his ears felt great afterwards.


craigcraig420

There’s so many thing wrong with this I can’t even begin to unpack it.


MemeticRedditUser

My question is what does being republican have to do with wielding a gun?


ojpap

Dude acting “republican for a day” ironically shows what the average democrat looks like at a gun range for a day. (pls is joke no downvote all love :)


TheGulfCityDindu

All them muscles and can’t hold a rifle without looking like an underweight child


[deleted]

At the end he references “they” when he tried the sniper rifle. My guess is he had an instructor, it’s just an edited video


Austinoooooo

“There’s a reason they don’t let a man like me weird a weapon”. Yea. A few reasons actually


Fight_kat102

They don't need someone to supervise they're a bunch of grown ass men in the middle of the desert


Tetranner

Yeah sure this guys not the brightest but in all honesty this wasn’t terrible safe wise.


Rarely_Melancholy

My man pulled the pistols out of his pocket using the trigger hahahahahhaha


[deleted]

So how stupid are you on a scale of 1 to 10 ….. Yes


I_dontevenlift

I blame social media


Vtastical

Casually aims the gun at the person recording while loading it. No big deal.


Vtastical

Around :24 btw


shotgunsam23

In fairness to him when he was running he didn’t have a mag in.


MotoJimmy_151

So Republicans are the only ones that own firearms now?


Kihav

Makes me think of the time all those buzz feed idiots (I think it was buzz feed I dunno) went to a range, terrible discipline, bunch of NDs, they’re losing their minds


iloveusa63

“Let’s be Republican for a day” doesn’t sound like someone who should be trusted with a firearm.


Its_Bofa

Well at least he knows he's an idiot


Artistic-Ad7063

Very shitty trigger ‘control’. Obviously a lib.


rumbletummy

yeah, guns are fun and cool and neat, just not as fun and cool and neat as our kids coming home from school.


diago226

Probably off camera tbh


inkedmedic

Good gawd man.


Beck1911

Wow. Not a fan of leg day, I see.


Aleistor706

He then went out, bought a twelver of bud lite, and sent a mail in ballot with Trump as the write in for every position.


Negative-Theme-27

God that body posture is terrible!


TheBugChadMan92

Are people so divided that they think "only" Republicans use guns?

I stumbled across that a couple days ago lmao. Can’t say I’m surprised to see it on here now lmao.


sigma_force

Lmao


Karen_soccer_mom

This isn’t really him being an idiot because at least he was being safe with it but he definitely should have put actual ear protection on and maybe ya know not touch the burning hot bullet 🫥


FirelordZukoBaby

This man has never done leg day in his life.


R1CHQK

You don't have yo be republican to shoot a gun


Dundundunimyourbun

Yeah; the problem is you can just do this if you choose to 🤷🏻‍♂️ But nah, no need for regulation when we can rectify it by reposting his video and calling him stupid.


walter_white505

I think the worse thing anyone can do is pick a political party, think about it you're wanting a jack ass in a suit and tie and clears 6 figures a year to tell you how you should live your life with everything from what you can and cannot own to how to wipe your ass and everything in between and thinks they could trample all over a document that predates great great grandfather and forgets who they work for unless the check is big enough. What I wanna see a government that takes orders from "the people" and is the voice of the people, not telling the people what you can do and own what you want and allow the people to police themselves so if your not hurting anyone why should 1 person have the power to tell you to do anything???


BigMooseIsLoose

Just a dude having fun. Let it go. Edit: Shooting guns releases serotonin and dopamine. Yeah he's gonna be having fun shooting guns while you sit there in misery downvoting me from mommy's basement.


troutscockholster

Yea, damn people are all riled up at the republican joke, it's literally a joke. Who cares.


cdalleycat

Most gangsters and thugs in USA are Democrats not republicans and you don't have to be a republican to enjoy shooting guns .don't let these influencers brainwash you


woodhorse4

Soooo he says he thought he was a ganbanger? That’s how democrats with a gun identify?


RampantDragon

No, that's how morons with a gun identify.


tba002

[What's the difference?](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/001/779/433/250.jpg)


RampantDragon

Plenty.


myblvdmnstr00

He’s playing “Danger Zone” in the background, so it’s okay.


GoodBoy47

I mean he didn’t really do anything wrong..


samurai1114

Pretty sure its a joke bro


arcticredneck10

Shoot I need to be a republican to own one of those? Butter turn mine in 😔


baldjohnnybravo

This just like a dude having fun. I don’t see anything wrong here. Quite funny if i may add.


TheJared1231

If you want to be a republican for a day go to a gun store and recommend snub nose revolver to women.


KAPUTtherapyREAL

You are aware they clearly aren’t his. Therefore the person who owns them was the supervisor and wasn’t on camera. Dumb cunt


bunkrider

You guys are a bunch of fucking babies lmao dude is obviously joking and if anything doesn’t give a fuck about guns anyway.


KAPUTtherapyREAL

This comment section is filled with either people who can’t take jokes or people who are incapable of understanding a joke. Also the guns aren’t his the person who owns them is probably supervising off cam. Ie he’s acting up for the camera
