Today, it has passed the four million view count.
Mr Jordan went public with the clip after daughter Hannah posted on Facebook a profanity-laced, open letter to her parents griping about what most 16-year-olds would complain about at that age - having to do chores and not having the latest gadgets bought for her.
In the video, Mr Jordan sits on a chair with a cigarette in hand and a printed-out copy of his daughter's posting in the other. He also has a .45 calibre holstered to his belt.
The angry dad starts off with a message to his daughter.
"Hannah, you were grounded for three months for doing something similar to this and I would've thought that with a father in IT for a living, you would have better sense than to do it again," he says.
He then reads his daughter's posting, entitled "To my parents."
After finishing his reading, Mr Jordan announces that he is "going to put a stop to this, and put a stop to it now." With that, he aims both the camera and his weapon at his daughter's laptop and opens fire.
"It's about to get a whole lot harder today. I'm gonna post this on your Facebook wall, so all those kids that thought it was cool for how rebellious you were can see what happens."
The video has caused a rift among those who viewed it over whether the punishment fit the crime.
After the video went viral, Mr Jordan was besieged by requests for interviews, but said he'd done enough talking.
"Never again in my entire life will I ever do anything that garnishes this much attention, both positive and negative. I really wished we'd been prepared or something," he wrote on his Facebook profile yesterday.
"Never again will I have the opportunity to speak to so many people about anything ... and instead I'm sitting here stupefied."
