Far left shooters leading the gun culture revolution
Kasarda is wearing acid sand t-shirt and tartan pants. “Post-Apocalyptic Cowboy Meets Dad,” Gun Bunny chimes in. On the contrary, he says he has a “trouble with authority” and is “in love” with the idea of anarchy. But there’s no doubt that he’s largely responsible for creating this alternative gun community, which he and others describe as the “punk rock aliens of the shooting community.”
His movement started about a decade ago with a YouTube channel called InRange TV, which now has about 930,000 followers. Cassarda’s videos often focus on the history of firearms, which he believes many conservatives in the gun world would like to forget, such as a slave revolt, members of a Native American tribe kicking the KKK’s ass at a standoff in North Carolina in 1958, and possibly a midwife in Col. Cavall Armstrong, Col. The channel’s description says the channel is “actively anti-racist, pro-human liberties, and LGBTQ+ rights,” and Cassarda is an advocate for “2A For All,” the belief that everyone, especially minorities, should have access to guns. While this position might seem natural to any gun-loving American, Cassarda’s views have so enraged the alt-right that there have been angry threads about him for years on AR15.com and Kiwi Farms, a forum known for harassing trans people. “We don’t want to talk about marginalized and gun-dependent communities because we don’t like marginalized communities,” Cassarda says of how the alt-right sees it.
These tensions have worsened under Trump 2.0. After the president’s re-election, organizations and groups like the liberal gun club and the left-leaning, queer-leaning Pink Pistols told me they saw a dramatic increase in interest and attendance. In early September, media reported that Justice Department officials were considering a gun ban for transgender people. In response, one trans gun content producer advised trans Americans considering purchasing firearms to “do it now.”
A few seconds before him Shot and killed, Charlie Kirk shared a myth about trans people promoting mass shootings. “Do you know how many transgender Americans have had mass shootings in the last 10 years?” asked an attendee at one of her milestone events in the US. To which Kirk replied, “Too much.” Numbers from the nonprofit Gun Violence Archive show that between January 2013 and September 2025, there were five confirmed trans or non-binary mass shootings, making trans people responsible for less than 0.1 percent of the 5,748 mass shootings the group tracked during that time period.
