What Do You Make Of This?

Why do you feel it is anti 2A?
Because it goes to an extreme that I don't even think a mass murderer would employ.

But more so it gives the impression that your average Joe going to work might have a rifle in their pants with a handful of mags in every pocket.

I thought reasonable gun owners would probably agree on the idiocracy of this idea.
 
I don't think he intended it to be anti 2A, but I see how it could be used to support some ignorant crap from the left.
 
Will eventually come back to bite us

I can see the Antis using this one against us sometime in the future.
 
In one of the currently in vogue 'survival' magazines, there's a pic series of Patrick Sweeney with an AR sort-of tucked in a coat, then opening the coat and shouldering his LWRC. I thought it was a you tube of that, but this was pretty entertaining. Concealed? Not so much, but most people aren't very observant...
 
One of the reasons some people will perceive that as anti is that it mirrors this propaganda video:

In both cases a stationary person is used to falsely imply that someone could actually move and walk with the load the videos show.
 
I was shown this by a family member who now thinks everyone is walking around with long guns stuffed in their pants.

Stuff an AR down your family member's pants and ask him/her to walk across the room. That should be all the debunking he/she needs.
 
It is pure video montage, I used to do same stuff when I had my video business several years ago.
 
As soon as I saw it, I thought of Ed's video as well, which came out right after Columbine, I think. This video doesn't show the "student" trying to walk with all of that stuffed in his pants--he just stands there.

In this video, you can see the guy walking stiff in his left leg as he walks away.

If nothing else, I always think of how this "proves" a rifle with a 15-1/2" barrel is so much more dangerous than a 16" barrel that it deserves special ATF taxing and licensing.
 
Not sure what the point of the video is? "Look ma, no hands"? So what? I'd like to see that thing get deployed under stress. If I see anyone with a Magpul stock printing under a shirt, and a stiff leg hobble, I'm out post haste. And the cops are getting called. This is just asking for trouble. Disservice to our cause IMO.
 
i thought it was relevant to a couple of pro and anti gun control issues, though im sure it was not the purpose of the demo.
1) it is a screaming testimony for Florida and (other states) repealing it's law prohibiting ccw in businesses that serve alcohol, cause if someone can conceal an AR and that many 30rd mags on his way into a location with no metal detectors, it is more logical for ccw people to be able to return fire. and for the record, I vehemently, categorically, disagree with such laws in the first place - Wayne Lapierre and his likeminded Bernophile Republican nominee are dead wrong on this one.
2) it also illustrates the absurdity-as if the absurdity wasn't obvious already-of laws that limit magazines capacities; because whether this guy would be loaded up with 30, 10, 7, or 5 round magazines, he could still kill a boat load of people.
and I say that being fully aware and certain that if Democrats banned every firearm but single shot derringers, and someone walked into preschool and killed a single kid with that weapon, they would promptly call for the prohibition of SS derringers... and of course, we ALL know that THAT is the intended end result of incremental gun bans.
 
I'm calling BS...

the guy has 3 AR mags and two pistol mags in his front left pocket... with no bulge showing at all?

Notice that there is a short discontinuity in the film when he pulls the mags out of his pocket.... I suspect he's stopping the camera, making adjustments, and then starting the camera again.

I was waiting for someone to mention that.

I had been wondering about this too.
 
Does your CCW permit refer to "concealed handguns," or just "weapons?"

Colorado changed that from when they first shall-issued them and the permit said "Concealed Weapons Permit." They now say "Concealed Handgun Permit."

The point being that at least in CO, I believe that carrying a concealed long gun like that would be illegal anyhow, CCW or no CCW.

And here I thought you couldn't put 10 Lbs of stuff into a 5 Lb sack. He had 15 Lbs of stuff in a 5 Lb sack.
