I don't mind it. Some of the people who post videos are way more douchey about gun safety than others, but I kinda look at it as a good thing to go through for gun safety. Do I fear dying from a youtube video? Hell no. But I know there are a lot of people who don't know jack shit about guns who look at these videos, and if the only thing of value they get from these videos is to safety check a gun in their presence, good deal. I know I used youtube to get info on different guns when I started getting into them because I didn't have any gun people that I knew who would walk me through what now seems like obvious shit. I still look at gun videos when I'm trying to decide what I want.

Yea, I like You Tube review videos for almost anything. The GF went through a ton of them deciding what pipe to put on her bike.

I use youtube for info and laughs. I don't watch the "watch my life" stuff. I wish youtube would split those users into a different youtube link or something. Clean the place up some.

I'm on the cant spend much and dont shoot much side of firearms. Like I tell everyone else. I'm not at war and I'm not carrying it.

Yes there are different variants and manufactures of the 1911, but the parts only come from a few places.

Guess I'll repeat myself. I dont shoot much. I'll rephrase myself. I don't want to spend high 3 or low 4 digits on a gun. There is always going to be a gun better than the other gun.

I have an sks. It shoots straight, does not jam, does not misfire, has gone up in value. I have a sigma 9mm. It shoots, goes bang, goes straight, does not jam, makes holes in targets, cleans easily. I have a cheapo Remington .22 rifle. It goes bang, does not jam, feeds fine. I have an AR, never been shot. I have a Hipoint 9mm carbine never been shot.

Nobody "needs" to spend a lot on a gun. There is a difference between "needed" to spend a certain amount and spending a certain amount because its a "luxury."

Let me check again..........Yup. No war outside. No zombies that I can see. Justin Bieber doesnt walk by and no drive-bys.


Ya'll do not understand. I am not a gun enthusiast. I don't shoot a gun and think of every single little problem. I make my self adjust to the weapon. If I don't like it then I'll see if modifying is worth the cost or I'll sell it off. Simple as that.

The only thing that will happen if you REALLY let your chain get loose is that it can come off, slide on the sprocket, slap the swing arm, stuff like that.
Not my bike man, I don't know what he meant by "dog". He is the one that told me it was running like shit, and when he got it replaced it ran noticibly better. Doubtful he meant horsepower, maybe application.

Anyone who owns more than 1 gun is pretty much an enthusiast IMO
