The idiot is at least honest.. The punk is just a punk.
Which of the two has more hope of someday being able to be trusted with a confidence or to guard your flank?
JMO..

I pretty much agree.  I highly doubt he'll make that mistake again, but I don't think I want to be around when he's making his live fire videos.

I said earlier that the interviewer was at least being paid to be an idiot, and I still mostly stick by that.  However, sledge's post brings a little more light to to subject.  He says some pretty anti gun things in the intro.  He's says them jokingly, but the fact that he says them at all isn't good.  Either he, or his writers, likely believe them to some extent.  He also juxtaposes them with video of our honest idiot shooting himself.  It doesn't put guns in a good light.

Poor ole Tex gives Texans a bad name, and he's from Illinois.

Good point..  Tex might be salvageable.  I doubt he has seen military service and I think a good Drill Sergeant could impress upon him the value of safe weapons handling.   He might need remedial reminders from time to time, however....keep an eye on him and don't let him get behind you with a loaded weapon.   Problem is, he doesn't project a favorable image for gun owners.
 
The interviewer is a real danger.  Anyone who believes "The Constitution isn't relevant any more" and believes the 3rd Amendment was conceived due to the actions of American Revolutionary Soldiers need a history lesson.  While it applies to past and present US Soldiers, it was inspired by the actions of the British Army in the colonies.

He looks a pretty lean...better set aside a longer rope for him.

At least Cheney didn't post the video.
