James Yeager is a loud pro gun voice, but a voice I don't want to be associated with. He said if gun control moves another inch he will start a revolution and he will start killing people. The end of the clip says "I will start killing people" which is easily interpreted as "I will go on a homicidal rampage". His concealed carry permit was suspended for that remark and I guess he's been getting a lot of threats. I believe in the right to free speech, but the repercussions of making an a** of yourself are deserved.

He admits he was angry when he made that video (gee no s**t). I don't blame him for being upset, but he should have put more thought into what he said before uploading his video. Live broadcast is easy to make ******** like that, but vlogs you can edit or re-record before putting it on the internet are easy to fix. He could have sat and tried to calm down a bit then reviewed what he said before submitting. He and Ted Nugent are passionate about gun ownership, but their extremist personalities reflect poorly on the rest of us.

If you watch that whole video where he threatens to kill people you should pay attention to what his message means. His follow up videos and interviews add clarity in case you still miss it. His message is that our rights have been slowly eroding over time, but gun ownership is where he draws the line. If that line isn't crossed you are not a threat to him and he is not a threat to you, it's only if you cross that line and try to take his rights that he plans to resort to violence.

Really I can respect that. I own and use firearms for leisure. I don't want to hurt anyone and neither do most gun owners I know. If we have to fight to protect ourselves and our rights we will, but if we can avoid violence we will. Basically Yeager and Nugent are to the anti gun community what Feinstein, Bloomberg, and McCarthy are to the pro gun community.
