I've always wanted to bring weird guns to the mainstream and I think I finally am getting the chance lol
Dark_Fuzzy@reddit
yikes, imagine being excited to work with that asshole.
Low_Neighborhood9188@reddit (OP)
How is it selling out š š¤£. I am a gun channel who is going to show my weird shit on a gun channel that is notorious for making videos of weird guns...
mcweaponry@reddit
I think everything youāve said here is all that needs to be said about your views. We get it, youāre a wanna be herrera and is probably gonna end up following along that loserās footsteps. Go, have fun. Hope itās worth your dignity. Enjoy.
Low_Neighborhood9188@reddit (OP)
Lol. Dignity lol. Holy pot calling the kettle black lol.
mcweaponry@reddit
I stand for something and am calling you out for selling out. Call it whatever youād like.
Low_Neighborhood9188@reddit (OP)
I dont stand for anything you do so im not selling out...
mcweaponry@reddit
you donāt have morals, so youāre not selling out.
Got it.
PHANTOM666EVIL@reddit
Soā¦your morals are the only ones that matterā¦rightā¦ actually, fuck your morals LMFAO!! š¤£
CockWranglerForHire1@reddit
Meds. Now.
Low_Neighborhood9188@reddit (OP)
Lol. Ok. Damn you are fragile lol
Low_Neighborhood9188@reddit (OP)
For someone who is teying to grow mt channel and get more out of this it is a big step. I really didn't follow or watch him before this so really dont care about what hes like. I'll figure that out when I get there.
Dark_Fuzzy@reddit
i get it, but associating yourself with a known fascist alienates a lot of your potential audience. The views and money are exciting, but that whole side of guntube is decidedly on the wrong side of history, and they've made it clear what sort of future they want for people like me.
altosalamander1@reddit
Muh facism is when guy makes guns and gets democratically elected for congress
This is why no one takes you guys seriously
Dark_Fuzzy@reddit
he aligns himself with the republican party, which is objectively a fascist regime. If you want to agree with them go ahead, but don't pretend that's not what they are.

mcweaponry@reddit
Selling out to grow your channel is a sub optimal way to start.
Low_Neighborhood9188@reddit (OP)
Obviously my political views and yours probably arent the same. Saying hes a "known facists" is laughable at best. Sure he can be an ass sometimes but I dont have to align with every damn aspect of someone's life and political views in order to make a video with them lol.
Dark_Fuzzy@reddit
if you look at the shit going on and who he associates with and think it's "just politics" idk what to tell you.
Low_Neighborhood9188@reddit (OP)
Again, I might not share any political or other views with you and might not with him. But as far as ive seen with him, I really dont see a huge issue. Sure there are somethings I hate or don't necessarily agree with. But that isn't going to make me not go down and give it a shot. If you do, fine, but that doesn't affect me. I know it might be hard for you to believe, but not everyone shares your viewpoints and that's ok.
mcweaponry@reddit
We get it, you have no morals and donāt care about anything that doesnāt affect you. Move on.
mcweaponry@reddit
My condolences.
Admirable_Scholar_36@reddit
Yeah being a Latino engineer into guns, I was really fucking disappointed seeing the cringe ass groups/ politics Herrera associates with.
iamaconsolepsnt@reddit
Haven't heard about this, mind elaborating? All I could find was that he is a trumpy or something
Admirable_Scholar_36@reddit
He supports boebert, the sons of the confederacy, and on twitters says some pretty shitty stuff about trans people
iamaconsolepsnt@reddit
Don't like the boebert thing for sure. Church + State = tyranny
What are the sons of confederacy? Is it a "we shouldn't tear down statues" thing or a "we need to honor the confederacy because they were right and we also dont like black people" thing?
As far as the trans thing goes people are entitled to their opinions as long as he's not proposing legislation to restrict their rights I don't have too strong of an opinion. Is a little weird for a "libertarian" candidate though... (I've had and have a few trans friends for the record)
GammaDie345@reddit
Hererra goes beyond simply saying 'shit' about trans people. He repeatedly injects rants about trans people into videos that have nothing to do with them, often claiming that theyre more violent or more likely to be sexual predators than the rest of the population.
bitofgrit@reddit
Uh...source?
GammaDie345@reddit
The source is "I made a goddamn typo, so i edited my post to remove the typo"
bitofgrit@reddit
Oh, okay. A typo. I get that.
But you are still saying,
And, well, source?
I'd like to know if there is a source for the trans-specific shooter numbers. I don't know of anybody that really took that into account over the years. Sure, white or black, male or female in general, but the specific sexual orientation and so on?
I'd like to know how you know it's only 2. I just don't know a good source for that.
When I look it up, an article from "The Post Millennial" mentioned 5 trans shooters, but they had a pop-up ad with Charlie Kirk, so I'm guessing they aren't a reliable source. A site called "FactCheck" says that the GVA lists 5 out of 5748 mass shootings, but GVA is run by window-lickers and they can't be trusted to count their own fingers and toes. They also mention that the "Violence Prevention Project" found that only 1 out of 201 mass shooters from between 1966 and 2024 was a trans-person. However, it's also mentioned that they didn't include certain shooters due to the specific definition of "mass shooting" they were using.
I also ask about the "thousands" because I don't know if this is something you've been told and have been lead to believe, or if it's hyperbole, or what.
According to Wiki, there have been 642 incidents of fatal school shootings. Since the year 2000. And I'm not a calculationist, but I'm pretty sure 642 is less than a 1000.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_school_shootings_in_the_United_States_(2000%E2%80%93present)
Granted, there are a lot more non-fatal incidents, but... I dunno, are we counting a janitor ND-ing into his own leg? Or the fights between adults in parking lots during ball games where someone popped off a shot but hit nothing?
GammaDie345@reddit
"Trans-person" I mean this is just ridiculous. Does it bother you that much to use 'trans' like any other adjective describing a human being
"sexual orientation" Again, we're talking a medical condition, nothing sexual.
Where is your source that GVA is run by "window lickers"
I think a mass shooting is defined not by "person shooting other person" but by person shooting multiple other people.
5 out of 642 is still a pretty damn good statistic for someone the mainstream media wants you to think is part of a global conspiracy to kill all the good christian boys and girls.
bitofgrit@reddit
Nice edit, slimeball. I don't know how to tell you this, but the word "person" is right there in "trans-person".
And, yeah, if the discussion was about height and sex mattered, then I'd say "tall men" to differentiate from "tall women".
What would you want me to say? "Persons who are men and tall"?
GammaDie345@reddit
so you can say "tall man" but you can't say "trans man"?
bitofgrit@reddit
Whoa whoa whoa, pump the brakes, skidmark.
I said "trans-person" to cover both trans-women and trans-men. Do you think I'm referring to them as "animals-transitioning-into-humans" or some shit? That's on you for having a lame-ass assumption.
We're not talking about just human beings, we're talking about specific human beings, so differentiating between one and another is kind of the point.
I'm not even the first one in this very thread to say that, but you're only giving me shit for it? gfy
lol You're even getting pissy with me saying "sexual orientation"? As if that is the limiting factor in the statistics I was referring to? I haven't seen statistics differentiating between gay vs straight numbers, or whether or not they count lgbt specifically. That's what I'm looking for, that's what this is about, and since you seemed so confident (despite your school shooting numbers being wildly incorrect) I was hoping you had a source.
And you know what? Nah, fuck that, there is a "sexual orientation" component to this, because, otherwise, how can a man be a lesbian?
My source on GVA being window lickers is their citation of a cop having an accidental/negligent discharge in a bathroom at a police training facility being called a "school shooting". My source is their citation of a person taking their own life in car in a parking lot of a closed school on a weekend being called a "school shooting". My source is their citation of a dickhead kid shooting an airsoft gun at a school bus as being a "school shooting". My source is their citation of a gun in a car in a school parking lot being called a "school shooting" despite no shots being fired. My source is them stating their methodology differs from other commonly accepted standards (FBI/LEO statistics, for instance) by including lower-count injuries/deaths, as well as multiple other incidents where nobody was actually shot (or where there were no shots at all) as being "mass shootings", meanwhile, their sources are often news articles which allows them to inflate their numbers by double-counting what's stated, which they've been caught out for doing, among other stupid things. Even anti-gun Mother Jones retracted their support for GVA when they looked into how ridiculous their data points were.
You "think"? You mean you don't know? How many people have to be involved, and how involved do they have to be? Does a guy walking into a crowded restaurant/bar and purposely shooting only his ex and her new boyfriend, then, maybe himself, count as a mass shooting? GVA says it does, because there were a lot of people present, despite nobody else being shot at.
That kind of fucking matters, don't you "think"?
Maybe, but I'd still like a source.
GammaDie345@reddit
Trans woman.
Trans man.
GammaDie345@reddit
642 school shootings, excluding every other mass shooting at bars, churches, clubs, shelters, people on the street, etc. If we exclude all non-school shootings then only 2 out of 642 were committed by trans people.
bitofgrit@reddit
Cherry picking? Bitch, please. You said school shootings. Why the fuck would I include concert shootings when you specified school shootings?
iamaconsolepsnt@reddit
That's pretty cringe and I dont agree with it, no reason to be hateful to people. Not a whole lot to say besides that, im not a herrera meat rider or anything just trying to understand other people's perspective on him. I hear "super pro gun" and I'm inclined to like the person, but it doesnt seem I share many of his views beyond that.
I dont really watch his videos, just not really my cup of tea. Normally I would say "free speech let people have opinions" but that doesn't really apply to politicians. Im not in his district anyhow just curious as to why people dislike him :)
(I'm not a big fan of any politician... "outsider" or no)
GammaDie345@reddit
shame youre downvoted for being normal.
iamaconsolepsnt@reddit
Eh, who cares it's reddit, I just like to argue every once in a while š¤·
mcweaponry@reddit
I mean, him being a ātrumpyā means heās actively supporting a pedo, so that should be enough alone no? Plus all the bs that came out from him after Kirk got kirked. Dudeās kinda a pos and I canāt imagine anyone with even half a moral conscious would want to be anywhere near the guy.
THExLASTxDON@reddit
Damn, it's crazy seeing this type of far left propaganda on a gun sub... I expect that type of projection (according to Biden's own daughter's diary...) from the politics or news subs.
TBH tho I've never even watched more than a couple minutes of the guy, so what "bs" are you talking about that he supposedly said after the assassination of Charlie Kirk (which was committed by a wacko individual who pushed the same type of rhetoric/extremism, disinformation, and conspiracy theories that you do)?
iamaconsolepsnt@reddit
Unfortunately trump is the current platform (or God of, depending on who you ask...) the republican platform, as much as I would like to believe that it's a purely political move from Brandon im not sure. Seems like he will push back on some of trump's dumbest stuff (especially since he refuses to take aipac money).
I didn't see much except for what most other conservatives and guntubers etc. were saying regarding the Charlie thing. If thats what you were talking about I don't understand the perspective, gotta condem political violence or violence in response to free speech. The way i see it today it may be someone you disagree with tomorrow it may not be and the day after it could be you.
Also I just realized you're the trans lady with all the nfa shit and the badass engravings. Fucking love your work (except the painted pm63 š) and i get how anti trans shit from people it doesn't affect at all is annoying and more of an issue. Especially when youre just trynna hang out be yourself and shoot badass machine guns. As far as im concerned thats the American dream
mcweaponry@reddit
I would imagine a fair bit of it is political posturing because a lot of herreraās fanbase is inherently going to be made up of the right wing. That much I get, all well and fine. Where I draw issue is when he pushes past what could be considered political posturing for the sake of business. I feel like Ian does a reasonable job with staying neutral without pushing too far in either direction, and while I have my own issues with Ian, he does do a reasonable job of staying fairly out of politics.
When Kirk was murdered herrera came out with a few statements such as āthey killed the centrist one.ā Inferring that if he had his way, thing would be significantly more horrible for anyone not straight, white, or male. Not a great look, and really sells the idea that he does in fact believe the things he says even beyond just nearly associating with the right wing for the sake of business.
Iām not gonna go out on a limb and say I mourn Kirk by any means, but I am sad to see this country so far divided that itās come down to people murdering each other in public due to their opinions and beliefs. As clique as it is, Iād love to see us all getting along and coexisting. To have that requires a common understanding that we all have rights and the human decency to not turn on each other for personal gain. I get thatās probably a stretch for our country at the moment, but whatever. I can dream right?
And cheers! Honestly that pm63 was just a cheap parts kit postie that got the manic treatment. I paid sub 100 for the kit years ago and just threw it together after I got the sot.
tennezzee88@reddit
lmao giant wall of garbage text
iamaconsolepsnt@reddit
Sometimes I get bored and gotta argue about dumb shit on the internet using an essay worth of words, I'm willing to accept that it's cringe and gay
iamaconsolepsnt@reddit
Yeah, seems like trump is the figure head for all of the snake right wing politicians an RINOs. Hard to pick the lesser evil these days...
As far as Kirk goes I dont have too much comment, sounds like herrera may have just been doing a little more political posturing but that's just conjecture. I thought he was a good debator but didnt agree with a lot of what he had to say. As long as you aren't celebrating people dying I think you're good, nobody has an obligation to mourn people they disagree with.
Our politics have been so intentionally divided and it makes me sad too, people dont look at eachother and think "A fellow American! We're on the same team even if we dont agree on everything we still want the best for eachother" anymore. Glad you cam have a civil conversation as that seems to be more and more rare these days.
To getting along, and everyone being friends š»
Ps. Im willing to forgive you for the pm63, im probably just jealous. š
Admirable_Scholar_36@reddit
The āSonās of confederate veteransā has a long history of siding with the klan, and more contemporary white nationalist movements. As for the trans shit he sides with Boebertās goal of criminalizing trans people in public.
iamaconsolepsnt@reddit
Dayum, yeah that trans thing is pretty compelling I wont lie. Where did he say that? (Not calling you a liar, just would like to see it first hand).
If he was sucking of the sons of confederacy that's also questionable as hell... From what I was looking at people were saying it may have been a history video or something but at the very least thats a generationally bad pr move. Would love to see more on it if you have a link to something (again not calling you a liar)
tennezzee88@reddit

mcweaponry@reddit
I do hope more people start to see him for what he is and heās shunned from the industry on a whole.
Admirable_Scholar_36@reddit
As someone who works in industry it seems like most people donāt care, which sucks.
Low_Neighborhood9188@reddit (OP)
I dont really watch his stuff or follow him anyways. All I know is guntube is filled with the same shit and all the big people are slowly fading out. My stuff isn't like his at all and this is a chance to get myself on the map to continue doing what I'm doing. The only way to really change the way guntube is going is to be the change and that doesnt happen by sitting still lol. I'm also in talks with Ian from forgotten weapons to film some stuff to but that isnt until the distant future .
mcweaponry@reddit
āBeing the change you wanna seeā would be refusing to work with him based on his stances, beliefs, and opinions. If youāre just trying to latch on and suck him off in the hopes that you can join him in his particular niche, you can just say that instead.
Low_Neighborhood9188@reddit (OP)
I probably share very little stances, beliefs and opinions with you so this statement doesnt mean much lol. I dont like how much brandon is pro Trump but other than that and a few other things I probably have a lot of the same stances as him
He used my stuff in his video, saying how the one was the reason he made the video. I called him out to show some of us do it as a hobby and challenged him to shoot them. He responded and said he would. He literally called me out in a video to invite me down. It's not latching at all lol. Its accepting an offer to a challenge I set. A challenge that thousands of people have spammed him with and asked to happen. I'm sure you'd rather me make videos with Cuck Karl from Inrange lol
mcweaponry@reddit
And there it is. Enjoy your little video. Go have fun boo. Hope you enjoy sucking his dick.
Low_Neighborhood9188@reddit (OP)
Lol. I'll leave that to you man.
mcweaponry@reddit
Iām gay, we have standards. I donāt sleep with maggots like herrera. Must be a you thing.
Low_Neighborhood9188@reddit (OP)
Thr fact that you are getting so testy about it not only amusing but kind of sad. The groveling because you dont like someone is really topping the cake. Cope harder.
mcweaponry@reddit
I mean, Iām calling you out on a post and Iām not the only one. Youāve shown your morals donāt allow you to care about anyone past yourself. We get it. You can just move on.
Low_Neighborhood9188@reddit (OP)
Yeah we live in a world where people have different opinions. How shocking! I never said I was a fan of his. Im going to show my guns, something that a shit ton of people want to see and enjoy in a video. You can always watch something else and cey to that if it makes you feel better. I love how you jump to so many accusations and conclusions lol. Holy insecurity batman.
GammaDie345@reddit
believing people you don't like shouldn't be allowed to own guns like Hererra does isn't an "opposing view" its an abomination.
squaad@reddit
How dare he be against giving the mentally ill firearms.
GammaDie345@reddit
bruh if you support Red Flag laws, then one day the government is gonna use them to take firearms away from YOU. even the NRA is against the shit hererra said.
GammaDie345@reddit
accusing your enemies of being mentally ill so you can strip their rights to bear arms? What are you, a commie?
squaad@reddit
Im not accusing you or him of being mentally ill, im tell you, you are.
GammaDie345@reddit
define mentally ill.
mcweaponry@reddit
Mistaking conviction for insecurity is understandable given that you possess none of the former.
Low_Neighborhood9188@reddit (OP)
O no! You got me. What ever will I do now. My whole world is crashing down.
mcweaponry@reddit
Oh, you misunderstand. At this point I fully get that you just donāt care. Iām just pointing it out cause you seem to be misinterpreting things.
Low_Neighborhood9188@reddit (OP)
I didn't misunderstand anything. You get triggered when god forbid someone doesn't have the same opinions as you and you are always craving attention so you are incessant on making sure everyone knows how you feel. We get it... I don't care how you feel. I don't care about whatever things are making you upset about Brandon lol. I'm going to go shoot some guns, have a good time and enjoy my life. If he's a dick and I dont have fun, whatever. I still got a vacation and to shoot cool guns. Life is to short to be a victim and cry about everything. It's also to short to cater to people who think their feelings and opinions are the only ones that matter.
mcweaponry@reddit
Youāre right. I shouldnāt even bother with you. I mean, Iām not gonna convince you of anything. You donāt see the issue or arenāt able to comprehend it if you do. Iām gonna go back to playing with guns. Hope you get whatever it is out of whatever youāre doing.
BootlegEngineer@reddit
Dude if you think youāre convincing anybody of anything youāre delusional and just making yourself out to be a jackass.
mcweaponry@reddit
I fully understand that Iām not going to convince people with no morals to just suddenly have morals. Like I fully understand that. Iām still gonna stick up for what is right though.
BootlegEngineer@reddit
āWhats rightā ha go yell some more into the void girl.
mcweaponry@reddit
Honestly, you are probably right. I really shouldnāt even bother with stuff like this.
5Lv8@reddit
Maybe you should try not having politics as a personality
BootlegEngineer@reddit
None of us should on here. See cool stuff, like cool stuff. Leave the BS at the door. Your projects are rad, please keep doing that.

Itās Brandon Herrera. Politics aside, heās a dogshit āgunsmith.ā
ChevTecGroup@reddit
I agree on that, but thats why he has Zach to do all the work
mcweaponry@reddit
Then Zach should just ditch him and set out on his own. No need to carry the dead weight.
squaad@reddit
Why? Cuz you donāt like him? š¤£
mcweaponry@reddit
Cause heās a garbage āgunsmithā with garbage views. Not really worth associating with somebody like that.
squaad@reddit
So because you donāt like him.
mcweaponry@reddit
Ah, got it. Youāre a fangirl of his.
squaad@reddit
Unlike you, who isnāt a fan or a girl
