Jordan Derrick, known to early GunTube as Dugan Ashley of CarniK Con, is not a Second Amendment defendant. He is a speech defendant. That distinction matters, because the federal case against him treats publicly posted videos as if they were a commercial explosives factory and then tries to hang a New Orleans terrorist’s failed devices on a list of saved files.
As AmmoLand first reported in May, Derrick, 40, of Sweet Springs, Missouri, was charged in the Western District of Missouri with engaging in the business of manufacturing explosive materials without a license, unlawful possession of an unregistered destructive device, and distributing information relating to the manufacture of explosives. Derrick is an Army veteran and one of the original gun-channel personalities.
CarniK Con was among the first firearms comedy-and-hardware channels on YouTube. He stepped away from that project years ago, later returned under the Dugan Ashley name, and posted chemistry-heavy videos about energetic materials. Those later videos are what the government targeted.
