What a disservice "EdgunLeshiy" does for the airgun community time and time again.

Interesting that in the Karen video he points out squirrels are just rats with tails that humans like and that squirrels are tasty too. So I poise the question, if both are true then rats should be also tasty but few people eat them unless necessary, almost never if they have a choice. Why is that so? I'm guess in some rural area of undeveloped countries maybe rats are a normal part of the food supply.

Just think of the environment savings in greenhouse gasses if people started eating rats instead of beef, chicken and pork. It would help the rat infestation problems in NY city :).

Have you not hear of Ratatouille? <----it's a joke, work with me here ok? As for the rat infestation problems in NYC, you still have the politicians. <----NOT a joke.

Much like the zero talk of self defense here, it should be an unspoken rule in the airgun community, he could have shown that same thing with a coyote dummy or some other dummy, its how the public sees these things and opens their mouths about them to the wrong people that our sport may start to become infringed on, do you want that?

The only ballistic gel dummies I've found so far are Zombies or human, there is a good reason for them, otherwise you use a gel block.

In Viet-Nam they raised rats in cages for food. In Peru they raise Guinea Pigs in cages for food. Nutria are very fine eating...

I guess I will weigh in here too.

Watched a couple of the videos cited here. They are funny and well done. Yes they are graphic but this fellow is clearly an ethical hunter with a sense of humor. I have observed something about myself over the years which I honestly hate to admit but it will serve here. Often when I want to criticize someone for their behavior an honest evaluation of self will discover the same problem in me that I so clearly see in the other fellow. "Oh that SOB is so damn arrogant." Yeah, that's me. "Oh that bastage just doesn't care what someone thinks about the AG community." Yeah, that's me. OR MY MOST FAVORITE, "He is probably the most narcisstic clown I've ever seen." Um,yeah, that's me too.

The thing WE ALL forget so often is that we are all, all of these things at one time or another. We are also ALL sometimes nobel, honorable, and gracious.

I'm going with, "Judge not, that ye be not judged", at this moment, not because I am better or because I don't judge people, just because it feels right at this moment. Must be a good day. ;)

Its very easy to say that... His, words, actions, and demeanor says otherwise.

Unless you have a degree in psychology, you have no business evaluating someone's psyche. Let alone compare them to the likes of Jeffrey Dahmer. That is way out of line. Not to mention, you are basing this on internet videos and posts, which rarely as an accurate representation of someone's real personality.

Now... you may not like the guy or the stuff he does, and that is fine. I'm not the biggest fan of his content either, but that's where it should end.

Much like him, I can say and do whatever I want as long as it isn't breaking the law, I can disagree with him while you can agree with him. I can form an assessment of him (as others have as well) just the same as you can form one of me.

As I said in the original post that I am now reiterating for the second time, you don't have to agree with me, this is my opinion .... he is a 🤡

What would be the ideal outcome you would want from this thread?

Him to be a little more rational when it comes to posting things related to our sport or just have his entire channel shut down to be honest he sucks, we have it pretty leisurely because we are all (for the most part) very aware of what we have and careful.

Talk about self defense with airguns is prohibited here, I think thats a fantastic rule, it should be unwritten and unspoken and just followed everywhere within our community in order to preserve it (this is in regards to his video using a human dummy).

As far as this video goes and the community, I could technically modify and use @DonEnzone line "basing the communities personality, beliefs, morales on internet videos and posts wouldn't be accurate." ......

We don't need our sport viewed as one where we glorify and love watching a chipmunks face being blown in half in slow motion with music and glee ..... thats sick... How we are perceived by the people who don't partake in our sport is going to determine the outcome of where the sport ends up as far as rules/regulations/prohibition.

Its quite simple.

So take it up with him and/or the places he posts his videos if you are so serious about it then?

Does not look like you are going to achieve your goal here.

Or ignore his videos, like many of us do.

You are now just fighting with everyone who does not outright agree with what you also stated is just your opinion.
If you want people to respect yours, you should respect theirs in turn, even if it differs.

I would wager that this thread is going to achieve nothing.

Actually I am not fighting with anyone here, this is a topic of discussion, as said in a previous post within this thread, had you actually read the whole thing. It took a small army of people discussing amongst eachother and then with the people involved in order to get the video he posted from IG removed. Things work better with the masses or majority. I would say this thread has shown a decent split, at least with the people familiar with this guy. I would wager that you could just have easily practiced what you preached and ignore the thread much like you suggest I ignore his video?


If you can actually point out where I do not respect someone else's opinion within this thread, I will wait to see it.

See the irony in your post.

Good luck anyway.

As for wanting the guy to have his channel taken down is, in my opinion, going too far. Many YT'rs make their living, or at least supplemental income off of the work they put into producing their videos. Trying to cut off someone's source of income, simply out of fear that someone else will interfere with your hobby is quite petty. It's not a good look.

consider this, next time you fry an egg, dont scramble it, take a good look at it, if you dont see dead baby bird there, then the machine has very good grip on your mind

or if you are not into eggs, next time you chop an salad, you just ripped off the body from its head, as the root system functions as head on plants
then you are chopping its body, alive body

have a nice day
