Hello, guys, it's your favorite annoying, unemployed Aspie here to explain why I don't watch James Yeager. I don't have the privilege of the enlightenment of caffeine, so this might be brief. This critique, of course, is following the outrage of the gun owning community after he posted a nasty video on YT. I, for one, am absolutely offended by his video. The video, of course, is his infamous reaction to support for gun control. That being said, here are some reasons I don't watch his videos:

1.) His behavior
In each of his videos, he comes off as a jerk. I'm not sure if he thinks he's cool or he's expressing his insecurities the way a middle school kid does, but this sets a pretty poor example for gun owners everywhere. Seriously guys, he doesn't impress anyone by acting like a douche and it's a GREAT thing his carry permit was suspended.

2.) "Pack Your Bags"
I don't care WHO he's trying to intimidate, the message he delivered is giving neutral folks a pretty bad general image of what gun owners are like. I'm sorry he's butt hurt about gun control, but that's no reason for him to shoot anyone. He's convincing everyone that all gun owners need anti-psychotics. I own guns, as you already know, voices don't tell me to shoot pro gun control folks. Background checks aren't a bad idea and focus on mental health.

3.) That one photo.....
Seriously? Has he never heard of a tripod? This guy seriously had a photographer standing down range.....while his weapon was drawn and it appeared he was shooting. Is there no such thing as common sense?

But, anyway, I'm feeling tired, so I should hit the sack. Teiraa out!! !

You don't watch his videos ... how can you criticize their contents?

I have seen snip-its of his videos and have tried watching one of his videos. I can't, not without losing IQ points, put bluntly.
