Mel Bernstein - Dumbass

[<MADDOG>]

Mel of "Dragon Arms" is given the opportunity during this interview to not only dispel many miss-truths about "evil black" rifle ownership, but also tangible reasons why they are purchased. I'll let you gentlemen watch for yourselves, but in summary, he is a piss poor representative of not only gun owners, but also CO IMO. I'm highly confident my 16 year old daughter could have formulated more intelligent and tangible responses then this numbnut...

Greeeaaaat. Fucking imbecile.


You really want me to believe that your hottest seller right now is an AR-15 with a 100rd drum mag for $600?? Why does he go off showing all the big magazines? Is he trying to make the world's worst sales pitch or what?

Oh yeah, and every Vietnam vet I know is just dying to buy an AK-47 with a drum mag as a souvenir to hang on their wall... Idiot.

[CrufflerSteve]

Can you say publicity whore​? When Al Gore's pet TV channel comes calling, what do you expect? He should have hung up. Gun owners coming to watch this will probably quadruple their viewership. Current ain't MSNC which has somebody watching it.

WTF did I just watch!?

Unbelievable. Unfreakingbelievable.

Ahhh Im going there this weekend.
I like the place and he was just pissing off Liberals.
You dont need facts and erratic behavior is the new Normal. The left acts that way. Why cant we?

We're better than that. Have some class. Show some style. Live by principles. These are all things that distinguish us from liberals.

[TEAMRICO]

Honey Boo Boo, you may not give a shit but you are not the final say about anything. You dont know me so dont make any assumptions about me. You dont like Dman's why should I care at all? I like the guy, you got pissy about it. Seriously, if you had not seen the link would you have been watching that show to see the clip? No. Dont crap on other people because people are not living YOUR principals. I dont take my lead from you or any other. We have common interests but thats it. Remember your on a forum, your not my boss. You apparently cant sense sarcasm since I did not use the right font. We could go PM but I will ignore you.
Dont expect me to cringe in fear because of your avatar. You make a dumb comment about me I will respond.




ahhh crap. This is gonna make the Southern CO breakfast meet even more awkward when we have one........

[BushMasterBoy]

A well armed populace is essential for the security of a free nation. And yes, Mel scares me...

Holy fuck, chill out. You asked why we shouldn't act like liberals and I told you. If I missed your sarcasm, I'm sorry. I didn't make any assumptions about you and I don't expect you to cringe in fear over my avatar. Go take some midol.

I've had a few run-ins with Mel and I don't agree with his business practices or his ethics.

I can fairly say, he was not "just pissing off liberals". If he were, he would have brought up better, and more sarcastic, talking points then he did. Even if he were, he fed them more ammunition for their argument, not less. And that is regardless of the facts that you like the dump and that lefties act like 5 year olds.

[TEAMRICO]

Liberals don't need an argument. They just make crap up as they go and facts and stats be damned, have you learned nothing so far?
you don't like the place fine, don't go. You thinks it's a dump fine, don't go. You had a bad deal or don't approve of his business fine, I have not and only had good experiences there so don't go. Maybe the common link is YOU.
dont bad mouth the guy because I'm sure if you were up on the Young Turk show no matter what you said or presented would sink into that asshot. You could tell he was having nothing of anything he would say. He has his mind set on the issue and Charlton Heston could not have gotten through to him.
dont get flustered Badger, you got a rep to uphold.....somewhere.

[HoneyBadger]

Oh, the personal insults really hurt my feelings! (and my rep, apparently?)

Look, I don't know what your problem with me is all of a sudden, and I don't really care. Just chill out and play nice, will ya? I never insulted you, I clarified what I said and I already apologized just in case their was any confusion. I just made it very clear that Mel wasn't doing us any favors by going on that show and being a total asshat. Go ahead and defend him all you want, just stop taking it so personally.

[DavieD55]

Young Turks and the whole Current Network = progressive propaganda. He shouldn't have given those people the time of day.

[rondog]

I couldn't even watch it, I hate that lying, thieving, crooked Yankee son-of-a-bitch so much......if you guys had any clue about what he's really been like as a businessman and a human being for the last 40+ years, it'd blow your minds. He's someone who should have been put in prison for life years ago. Jim knows what I'm talking about, so does a huge number of bikers from back in the 60's & 70's, especially East Coasters. I'm surprised he's never been "taken care of", God knows he's pushed a lot of people right to the edge of it. A genuine sack of shit.

[HoneyBadger]

Hey Teamrico, Rondog said something mean about Mel. Are you going to pick a fight with him too?

I don't post in this forum much at all, and I've been a member since 04. That being said, nothing you stated in your diatribe refuted the fact that he was not "pissing off liberals". It seems at liberal ideology, you have learned more than I. However, I WILL speak out and "bad mouth" a guy if I feel he is an idiotic example of not only who the people representative on this forum are, but also of those who believe in the Constitution. No true 2nd Amendment believer with any shred of intelligence should get on any forum, newscast, forum, etc, and not be be prepared to refute bullshit. He failed at that, regardless of your purported motive; and badly. Nothing that you have stated can take away that fact, to include your personal attacks on people on this forum who agree with my opinion.

In summary, please feel free not to pay attention to this thread if your panties get in a bunch over forum members exposing your favorite business owner for the dumb ass that he portrayed himself to be, and probably is.

[blacklabel]

Thanks for responsibly representing the firearms community, jackass. What a friggin' tool!

[BPTactical]

Wait till the Antis do their homework on DM and Mel. His wife getting killed and two employees getting burned last year will not enhance his credibility.


Relax guys, let's not get in a pissing match over his BS.
Aint worth it.

Only one flustered and going full retard on their keyboards here is you. Doesn't help that Mr. Dragonmans's reputation is well known with many. (See just about everyone elses comment.)

This.

[josh7328]

yeah... that pissed me off.

[Singlestack]

I just cannot believe Bernstein didn't refute the BS that idiot said. Bernstein is a complete moron for at least not refuting the "assault rifles are not hunting rifles" crap. All he needed to say is the NSSF keeps stats and the (in fact) AR's represent the fastest growing platform in the hunting community. The only place where they haven't made many inroads is the African Safari segment, where big CZ bolt actions firing 375 H&H rounds take cape buffalo, hippo, and elephant. My understanding is for anything bigger than .22 lr, ARs completely dominate varmint and coyote hunting now. The reason is the AR is the most versatile rifle in history, period. It can be anything, from a sub-caliber pistol to a .50 BMG long distance match rifle.

Bernstein seems to be about selling tons of crappy AKs and ARs with Beta mags, since thats all he could talk about. I had thought about visiting Dragonman, but it hasn't been on my list since. Pass.

LADIES Lets mellow out. lets not forget most of us here (yes U know who you are) have this administration to deal with. Focus on the real threatening things that gun owners are facing. Not worry whether mel, other gun business' or owners have no common sense and are in it for the 15sec of fame.
Stories yeah, then again who out there (hypothetically) may or may not have a past, some where.

[flan7211]

Mel will get his own one day. I have to deal with him all the time.

[Trigger]

I couldnt get through the first 2 minutes...terrible absolutely terrible

[buffalobo]

If I were a conniving liberal media producer, Mel would be a gold mine of crap to smear guns and gun owners with, and the dumbass will go right along with it.

[asmo]

Melvin is a frickin moron. Always has be and always will be.

[RYAN50BMG]

I did'nt walk away from the MG shoots because I got tired of machineguns and dynamite.

[TEAMRICO]

Was there today, yes, he did have some DPMS flat top AR's in the $650 range hanging on the wall.
Just sayin'.

[Ronin13]

In my book, having met the man and chatted with him a bit- he's not very bright, both on guns and on history (he got a lot of facts wrong, especially about Afghanistan, which changed my view of him). From my personal, face-to-face experience, as that is really all I can actually base an opinion of a man on, I hold him in about the same regard as Rich Wyatt- which is somewhere between Ass, Idiot and Buffoon.

[USAFGopherMike]

Same here. You're hosting a show and you can't speak English, "Shoot deers"? The fact that he scoffed at guns as an investment shows just how ignorant he is. The interviewee... well.. some people should never have reproduced. I blame his parents for failing society. Sadly, there are plenty of idiots out there just like this guy.

[UncleDave]

Anyone that has spent more than 5 minutes with Mel knows he is a moron, but he is the same moron that he has always . Gotta give him credit a lesser man would try to smooth out his image. His wife, bless her heart was always the brains of the operation.
