Been watching IV8888 for over a decade. #1 2A Supporters

Eric, Matt and Chad have to be the biggest 2A supporters I’ve ever seen. Everything from machine guns to tanks to exotic shotgun 10 gauge loads you name it they think you should have it too. The 2A is for everybody, not just people with money and power. This is a fantastic show. Although Gun Gripes will always be my favorite because I miss Barry and I can personally relate some of the grievances brought forward.
