The NRA's streaming lifestyle network aims to boost gun sales, often by using an ominous tone that would make just about anything sound terrifying...including muffins.

If the NRA is going to destroy a TV and not use a gun then I don't understand what I'm supposed to sign up for.
its the lies that the media tells you(now i dont think they are ''lies'' like the nra tells you, i just think its the media not understanding terms like ''machine gun'' or ''assault rifle'' and just not knowing laws about guns and buying them
C'mon, everybody knows that a machine gun is a self targeting gun. What do you think "fully automatic" means?
SERiously. Miss opportunities much?
WTF are you babbling on about?
This is the best KZhead comment out there.
12:23 “They shot paint” Hmm, if only there was some sort of semi automatic gun with the capability of shooting paint, maybe even in spherical form, directly instead of shooting a can of paint onto the ground.
yea... like a... paint gun? hmm...

“I think that guy just slut shamed marijuana.” Best quote I’ve heard all week.
I find it really weird that when they wanted to paint something for Natalie's baby nursery they could have just used paintball guns to make precise dot art, but they instead went, "What if we shot glasses of paint above blank canvases and pray that some of the debris falls on top of them?"
That's what I was thinking too. But the only guns they like are the ones that can murder anyone or anything.
Paintball guns are liberal pussy shit invented by the democrats to make kids think real guns are lame and parents think theyre too dangerous. Its the soy milk of guns. (Or something, i dont know if righties still bitch about soy like they used to)

The best part about the TV sledgehammer thing is that the TV wasn't even plugged in, the stuff on the screen was added in post. So it amounts to some big guy with a sledgehammer looking pleased at himself for just breaking a random TV he owns that wasn't even showing any objectionable content at the time.

I like the guy who wants to make fun of the "socialist tears" but is so upset and offended by the first amendment he has to destroy things just to feel like a man again.

My papa was a lifetime NRA member, he had a sign outside his house that said, "never mind the dog, beware of owner," and he meant it, he went hunting every chance he got and he had an animal head in every room. But he's also the one who taught me to respect firearms, always assume they're loaded, never point one at something you don't intend to shoot, etc. He was very comfortable with guns, but he viewed them as a tool, a way to get a job done, not as something you love. He loved his wife, his kids, his grandkids, beer and hunting, not necessarily in that order lol😋
"Death is an undeniable fuel of life" is honestly a metal-as-fuck phrase, but it's *definitely not* the kind of tone you should be setting if your goal is supposedly to defend yourself and keep others safe.

The idea of smashing a TV with a sledgehammer rather than, i dunno say TURNING IT OFF, is not only the most American thing I've ever seen, but ironically the best visual representation for the argument of owning a semi-automatic assault rifle to "defend" yourself
Ignoring for the moment that assault rifles by definition are selective fire rather than simply semi-automatic, I'm not aware of any "off switch" for criminals... with the closest thing being lethal force.
@@Nanofuture87 Lol it was just a joke my man (albeit not a very good one). Sorry I don't know a lot about guns, we don't use them in the UK. My comparison was in the idea of using an assault rifle to defend yourself, as opposed to a pistol, a knife, a bat etc. Now I'm sure you have stats to prove that assault rifles are less deadly than the aforementioned options, in which case, I apologise if I was wrong, it was not at all my intention to misinform or offend you.

Their revenue came from gun manufacturers rather than subscribers to their magazine. I never renewed my subscription.

“Because death is an undeniable fuel of life” sounds like something you’d hear from a Batman villain. I can hear the Joker voiced by Mark Hamill saying that.

"dead stars" wtf? when were stars alive? and don't tell me that old lady with her house full of dead gazelles and other animals decorating the walls did all that to eat or fuel life. Don't mix hobbies with nature, only humans have hobbies, animals never kill for fun. And yes hunting is an ancient human instinct for survival but again our ancestors hunted solely for food and clothes and other shit, real necessities. This is a multibillion business endangered by logic and common sense, that is also simple reality that some people struggle so much to accept.
The denotative and connotative definitions of Death, Fuel and Life are over complicating things. What I understood from that statement, because shooters seemingly want to become infamous, was "Death makes you feel alive". The tone doesn't help either. Simply written it makes sense. Except to vegans I guess.
Zetsubou Risuikun When were stars alive.. haha when the sun rises tomorrow look up and see one not yet dead. As for whatever point you believe that you’re making. There’s plenty of places in the United States where people still rely on hunting as their primary source of food.
I've not heard one DEMOCRAT say anything about taking your guns away. They're wanting better background checks,raising the age limit and extending the waiting period. What the hell is wrong with that???
Exactly, personally I would LOVE if guns weren't allowed, though it's not exactly easy to get that passed. I'm not a democrat. I guess if you gave me only two options, I align more with the democratic party than the republican party, but politics are much more nuanced than that.

Tsjiha23 just watch The Lion King again. Maybe you’ll understand
Just because some death is unavoidable doesn't mean we have to cause further death for our own amusement or convenience. That's the point. Nobody said any different.
Darcy robbs But do we need to hunt down wild animals tho? There's already farms that industrialized death for us to be able to eat and grow. We are already doing enough damage to the biodiversity by destroying natural habitats and poluting. Why would we also need to go kill creatures that are part of an already damaged ecosystem? Don't get on your high horse and pretend you hunt for the sake of "fueling life". You do it because you like to kill stuff. You do it for your selfish little enjoyment. Nothing more. Don't pretend otherwise.

I had to pause this a few times so I could laugh without missing anything. And I am a handgun owner. I am also a former card-carrying NRA member. While I do still own my gun, I tore up my NRA card about a year after receiving it (roughly 1988). Let me tell you that only when you become a member can you experience the full impact of how incredibly over-the-top this organization is. The literature I got from them in the mail would have been highly entertaining were it not for the unintended consequences brought about by NRA members who took everything they had to say as absolute gospel. To paraphrase: "Make sure that your children are armed when going to the theater, as they will be the only defense against any terrorist threat." And, "Turn shooting into a family outing." Or, "How to remain armed while travelling abroad." Anyway, this is possibly the funniest episode yet. From discovering that the NRA actually has their own version of HSN to that ominous narrator intoning: "...and her name is...Mary Jane." I have never even heard of NRA TV, but I may have to start watching it for laughs because John Oliver cannot produce content fast enough.
Seems it stopped broadcasing a while back.
I once went through my dad’s NRA magazine with a pen. I pointed out incorrect information, fear mongering, and just general fuckery. Needless to say, my dad was annoyed
ALSO-RAN ! I definitely think the education system and mental health services need dire attention, as both a student and a person who has needed mental help before. I also think shooters names and faces, especially those with agendas such as the El Paso Shooter, names should not be on the news. I agree with you on those points. However, the NRA magazines are full of fear mongering, with statements such as people are coming for your guns, or you need guns to protect from immigrants coming across the border and things like that. I will admit that the left does fear monger about guns. But, like my dad always said, “guns don’t kill people, people kill people” but that doesn’t mean that everyone should have access to a gun. There needs to be reform so it’s difficult for people to get ahold of dangerous weapons no matter what their intended use is. Besides, even if killers had to turn to knives or something, it will take them twice as long meaning they won’t be able to hurt as many people.
@ALSO-RAN ! has it really been "part of your identity" for generations? Or was it just a nescesity back in the day and when that disapeared it was turned into "the countries identity" by institutions like the NRA to keep up sales? People generally do not tie their identity to objects by themselves, especially if it concerns deadly objects, public relations usually does that for them.... By that logic atomic bombs and patriot missiles are also part of "the national identity" for generations now, and should be given to any maniac that wants one.

Phil Lewis Not enough budget
Perhaps they are bringing a new arms platform to market. The Glock 85 Sledge Hammer. With internal safeties.
Phil Lewis he was trying to achieve the same symbolism as the Apple Macintosh commercial. Trying to say that media is oppressive. But the message completely falls flat if the only person watching it is currently watching there shitty programming. The message worked for Apple because they had a theater of people watching the screen and the one person set them free with a sledge hammer. If anything this is just telling people to smash there TV if they don't like what there watching. The NRA is chock full of morons so I am not surprised that they don't understand symbolism.
Maybe THIS time, America?!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! it will NEVER happen, so don't hold your breath

"How many will it take?" "Literally all of them lmfao" Keep dreaming.

"And her name is marijuana. " NRA TV, reminding every pothead watching to hit the bong again. 😂
Hit the bong like I hit my wife 😎😎😎
I think they're legitimately unaware that a lot of gun enthusiasts are potheads. It's breathtaking in how absolutely oblivious it is.
@@josephschultz3301 If you use marijuana and own guns it's best to not talk about one or the other since even a responsible infrequent user is not technically supposed to own a firearm. I don't see the NRA fighting to change that though. In fact they eswentially said Philando Castille deserved to be shot because he was in possession of marijuana with the pistol he he had the proper authorization to carry.
Bong Hits For The NRA
@@CIARUNSITE That's neither here nor there. There's plenty of people out there that support groups and policies that still hold them, the supporters, in contempt in one sort of way or another. Regardless, it's irrelevant. Plenty of potheads are NRA supporters. They smoke pot, sure, but they love their guns. It's not a hard concept to wrap your head around.
....aaaaaaaaand they just filed for bankruptcy and I'm laughing my ass off
Ok that ad with the guy and the tv and the hammer feels like a trailer for every Fallout game at once.

Just an update on this: NRA TV is reportedly being shut down.
It is confirmed. NRA TV no longer exists.
Love it
That's the whole reason I came back to check this video again. Ah, historical documentation.
That bitch Dana Loesch has been fired - it was on the news yesterday (June 28, 2019) - There is a God!

Bears. Beets. Second Amendment.
I spat out my drink at “available at too many stores near you”
Seeing the whole gun accessories section made me yell "LOOK, I GET IT! YOU HAVE A GUN! DON'T MAKE IT MORE APPARENT THAN IT ALREADY IS!" Also, watching those NRA TV clips reminds me of Ammu-nation commercials from GTA
"Come to AmmuNation on MILITIA MONDAYS and exercise your 2nd amendment rights with a 10% discount on all ARMOUR PIERCING BULLETS. We're the only store that let's you try before you buy it. Need anti tank missiles? We got 'em!" I don't remember more :D But militia mondays always cracked me up.
But the question is, have you been whooping Liberal pinkos since 1978?
Did you literally shake?
Sometimes I wonder if real life is the video game and GTA is reality
The reaction John had to it too was funny. Like a small girl getting excited about her favourite barbies or to go shopping.
That sneaky gator graphic is hilarious
NRA "We only have enough money in the budget to smash a 32" TV. Make it count."
"Death is evil, they believe, and so the purveyor of evil must also be evil." So the purveyor of death, right? We call those people murderers. And murderers are considered evil, so yeah.
Keep clinging on the well known Social-Darwinistic-Principe.... Seems like we got a fast growing population of severe insane beings all over the Planet. All of them got caught isolated in their own prison-matrix slowly loosing what’s left of their human empathy...

"The purveyors of death must also be evil" Damn it, and here I was trying to make a Lawful Good Necromancer in my latest campaign...wait...
@@kyleguajardo A necromancer is just a late healer.
It’s funny how they treat trump like a god, saying you must respect the president, but once the president isn’t someone they like they switch morals very quickly.
NRA TV is gone. In the distance, a distinct laugh that sounds like a bark can be heard...some say the Lake Dog himself caused the NRA's troubles when they didn't give him- his customary treat when one of their directors passed by the lake.
It's true we all worship the lake dog, he is a benevolent God, but his anger is hellish.
@@elizabethsmith7224 What drugs made you so "high" and about what God of the lake in dog form talk about ?
@@motanelustelistu The lake dog in this episode of course.
@@elizabethsmith7224 Oh Dog of the lake, may your mercy be endless for the sins of mankind!
I'm disappointed to hear the Antique's Roadshow knockoffs won't be able to entertain us with their displays of ammosexuality.
no one else noticed that the NRA man in the commercial didn't even use a gun to destroy that TV? I thought they loved using guns for everything lol. it's not the national sledgehammer association
Cowards...
yes but if you really think about it, interviews, speaches and news stories where on tv so he would have shot at images of actual people. imagine the legal clusterfuck of filming yourself shooting at a black politician or a journalist for example. too much trouble and the message was loud and clear using the hammer.
Could of used the gun as a club
@@dansea6686 Going by the same logic, even hitting a journalist or a black politician with a sledgehammer isn't the soundest thing to do
Sledgehammer was a funny show where he played a Dirty Parry parodying cop who did use his gun for everything.
whenever im feeling down i turn this episode on and have been doing so since it came out
God I hate the rhetoric around, "You could stop the next mass shooting!" It almost NEVER happens. It never fucking happened in Buffalo last week.
Or in Uvalde, Texas
@@vietnamd0820Or in Nashville, TN. Or in Colorado Springs, CO.
The solution is clearly more gun free zones amirite? Oh wait..
*successfully compares nutella to the NRA*
Except not all of us like Nutella..?
@@Vistresian1941 Except Nutella is far more successful in marketing with far lower cash consumption for adverts. Besides, there may have been far too many mass shootings in recent years, but no-one's ever heard of someone committing mass murder with a jar of Nutella.
jack simpson Jason Bourne could probably do that
@@Vistresian1941 yeah and there's a little debate of the AR vs the AK
@@jacksimpson8529 i know people that still think nutella is healthy

Ar-15’s aren’t scary until it’s in the hands of a mass shooter aiming at you with great accuracy and easy use of the rifle being able to hold high capacity of rounds so 1 of those bullets is bound to hit you when you least expect it.
John's face every time he says "HOLY SHIT!" XD
I'd greatly appreciate it if some John Oliver fans who like late 70s soft rock/groove would check out my acoustic piano & vocal covers of SEPTEMBER by Earth Wind & Fire and HEART TO HEART by Kenny Loggins & Michael McDonald on my channel in tribute to the masters. Live acoustic with no autotune. Thanks and keep on grooving.
