Gun Confiscation & Youtube is making more Gun Owners? | #7 Clint Morgan

Published on: 18th October, 2023

In this episode, John and Kailey are joined by Clint “Mag Dump” Morgan, the Brand Engagement Manager at Classic Firearms, one of the largest online retailers for military surplus firearms in the United States.

Clint tells the story of Classic Firearms, as well as the challenges they’ve faced running a gun channel, and why he’s optimistic about their future on YouTube. They discuss the ATF’s war on plastic, as well as the rogue agency’s blatant hypocrisy and contradictory attitude, and how being a 2A advocate is more than just saying you’re pro-gun.

Kailey tells the story of her first gun store experience, and what’s changed since then. They also talk about the changing demographics of firearms owners and the importance of educating the next generations.
