There is a subtle message that the gun control folks either aren't getting or just choose to ignore. That message is that there are a lot of Americans who are fed up with the constant attcaks on individual freedoms - especially those guaranteed by the Constitution. That guy just popped off, probably because he was frustrated and angry, and then removed the original video with that statement and modified and toned down his rhetoric in subsequent videos.

The gun control folks keep saying things like "you don't need 30 rounds to kill a deer", but they are missing, some out of ignorance, some purposefully, the real point of the second amendment. On that same link is a link to a statement by Judge Andrew Napolitano. I'll quote it here because it explicitly states the real reason for the second amendment.

“You know with all the debate about guns, I’ve been doing some writing and doing a lot of thinking, and Greta and the rest of us at Fox want to know what you think about it,” the former New Jersey Superior Court Judge said. “The Constitution specifically and directly insulates the right to keep and bear arms from interference from the government. It could not be more clear: ‘…the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.’”

“So since the Congress can’t change the Constitution, how could they possibly take away your right to keep and bear arms?” Napolitano continued. “Here’s the dirty little secret about the Second Amendment, the Second Amendment was not written in order to protect your right to shoot deer, it was written to protect your right to shoot tyrants if they take over the government. How about chewing on that one.”
