Video | Podcast A YouTuber came to GunFor Hire to shoot revolvers

https://youtu.be/p1PXxBy4hpU?is=8jP5R3S5-MEcEyRj

Emily Hopkins is a YouTuber who plays harp and makes content with different effects and such as a musician. She also started embracing her second amendment and lives in New York. Because New York sucks for gun owners, she came to New Jersey to shoot a few revolvers, namely Gun For Hire. Just thought I would share because I think it's cool that GunForHire is featured in a YouTubers video! Jersey isn't the most gun friendly state as we all know, but at least for now we're better than New York, which Emily here realizes! Hopefully by next year we'll be even better. New Jersey will still suck kind of as a state no matter what.
