James Yeager is joined by Nashville-based Attorney Dana McClendon to take a measured approach to impending firearms legislation. They urge contacting legislators with messages that support legal gun ownership. After his past couple of times at bat, it’s good to see this tone. And, it’s good to see Yeager apologize for his earlier inflammatory comments. Yeager made this video Friday afternoon and I wish I had posted this earlier.

Ok, I’ve tried to not pass judgement on James Yeager gun ban tirade but his actions have brought some serious heat unto himself, and by extension law abiding pro-gun advocates. I understand the frustration behind his sentiment, it’s his actions that are most questionable. After posting a widely circulated video on the internet saying that he would “start killing people” if the President enacted executive orders that would restrict gun rights, the state of Tennessee has revoked his CCW license. This is already some pretty serious business on the surface. But after reading this statement, I’d say that he is on double secret probation and being used as unwitting fodder for the opposition.
“The number one priority for our department is to ensure the public’s safety. Mr. Yeager’s comments were irresponsible, dangerous, and deserved our immediate attention. Due to our concern, as well as that of law enforcement, his handgun permit was suspended immediately. We have notified Mr. Yeager about the suspension today via e-mail. He will receive an official notification of his suspension through the mail,” Department of Safety and Homeland Security Commissioner Bill Gibbons said in a statement to Newschannel5.com.
I hope Yeager, and others reflect on how his actions have contributed to a negative perception of the pro-2A community and consider any future actions in light of how they might be negatively perceived before acting. I’m not saying to remain silent or to not take positive actions toward maintaining our rights. I’m saying, consider any possible repercussions of your actions. Always ask yourself, “Is the juice worth the squeeze?” There are positive actions and negative actions. Let’s stay positive people.
After posting a controversial video yesterday condemned by many (and received national attention), James Yeager has posted a new video that confirms his resolve to resist tyranny. He claims to have an “army” of supporters for his stance and we thought it would only be fair to post this new video in light of comments made here regarding his earlier video. He does caution against rash actions but stands by his earlier comments, clarifying what he meant lest he be taken out of context.
Lastly, Yeager calls for those who have ‘stolen’ his videos to take them down. For that one needs to go take a look at his Youtube and Facebook license agreements. He has given them and by extension virtually anyone the right to use those videos. And, even if he hadn’t, they have taken on news value and fair use is in play. The point of all of this is that it once again goes to show that you can’t run from the internet. It never sleeps and never forgets.
We’ve shown you several different views on the Second Amendment and impending firearms legislation. Here is another that you’ll want to watch.
James Yaeger is understandably upset over Vice President Biden’s comments yesterday that President Obama is considering bypassing the Congress and instead imposing firearms restrictions via Executive Order.
Yeager is never afraid to call it like he sees it. The question is, does he go too far or is his sentiment shared by many in the mainstream of the pro-2A movement?
POF (Patriot Ordnance Factory) recently commissioned Tactical Drawings to create a print for them. The result is “American Patriots – Defending the Homeland Since 1775”.
The goal of the drawing was to portray the Spirit of our American Patriots who will not bow down to tyranny – past, present, and future. The gun is a POF piston driven AR-10 .308 and the model is Craig Sawyer (former US Navy SEAL Team 6 sniper).
These will be available at the POF booth at SHOT Show.
It is my understanding that General McChrystal was never shy about his feelings regarding private ownership of firearms during his time in the military, sharing them regularly with subordinates. Interestingly, on the very day his book. “My Share of the Task” is released he chooses to go on NBC and share his position regarding private ownership of military-style weapons. While he has often impressed me with his ability to organize various elements to accomplish difficult tasks, he is by no means a friend of the Second Amendment. I suppose it’s probably good that he made his feelings public. It will allow both supporters and detractors to view him from a somewhat different perspective.
