Yeah. That’ll happen
COPY/PASTA
In the US we have the Second Amendment. The fascists have been the ones screaming and yelling about the Second Amendment, but the truth is that all Americans have the right.
Owning a gun isn’t enough. Driving to Cabela’s and picking up a vermin killing .22 rifle is not enough. You should buy a proper rifle, a pistol, and a knife or baton. (Bonus points for a shotgun) Then you need to train with said rifle, pistol and knife/baton. Go to a range and shoot. Look for local self defense/hand to hand combat with a weapon classes and train.
I am not advocating for violence…far from it. But I am advocating for knowledge because owning a weapon and not knowing how to use it is a recipe for disaster.
PS: If you can afford it, buy suppressors and/or active hearing protection. Especially for your rifles. Suppression for the common citizen isn’t about stealth like in the movies, it is about protecting your hearing. Guns are LOUD. Much louder than you expect. Suppressors might be out of reach for most but quality active hearing protection is not.
I would say these days, probably one in four of your friends should own an fpv drone and know how to use it, repair, maintain as well.
Prob not a bad idea too if one in 8 of your friends takes on 3d printing as a hobby. Knows the ins and outs, maintenance, big supply of filament, etc.
Whenever this comes up I like to add:
- Don’t get a gun in some obscure caliber. Get a pistol in 9mm or a riffle in 223 (even better get a 5.56x45 NATO) or 308 win, that way ammo will be cheaper and you can better afford training with it. Shooting a few hundred rounds is not really enough. You’ll need to train regularly.
- Learn how to maintain your gun. As in how to clean it, what parts need lubrication, adjusting the sights, etc.
- Speaking as an electronic engineer, get passive ear protection. Active noise cancelling is cool and all, but what about when the batteries run out and you have no protection? Or what the electronics fail? Protect your ears, but when you can get +100 rounds of ammo for the price difference, then I would prioritize the ammo budget.
Don’t ear protection like the Razor Slims function both with active noise cancelling and without electricity? Active noise cancelling is useful for hearing the range instructor, but I’d imagine the seal and cushioning would also provide adequate hearing protection.
When I’m called off, I got a sawed-off
I agree with you but let’s address the elephant in the room.
Liberals are not built to fight this way. And a lot of liberal states have helped the fascist agenda with making semi auto rifles extremely hard to buy. AR15 with 30 rds vs mini 14 with only 10 rds…the two are vastly different.
Hate it all you want but this is the double edged sword people warned liberals about. I saw it coming and I started buying right before all the anti 2A rhetoric. Liberals need to start banging on their states lawmakers to undo their bullshit. And vote out the ones that don’t listen.
As someone who doesn’t know much about guns: if .22 is not enough, then what is “a proper rifle”? Why would I need a rifle, pistol, and a knife/baton? If I am just defending myself and my family, will I still need all of these things?
If you’re not a gun person don’t bother with a rifle or handgun, get a shotgun.
You don’t have to worry about over penetration with a shotgun, and it’s easier to hit with than a pistol.
If you want to know what a proper rifle is, then that’s really a subjective assessment. I would say that a 22lr is ok, unless you need fight people in body armor. But I can see how big burly Muricans want something in 338 lapua or 50 bmg.
A rifle is for long range, a pistol for close, and a knife/baton for arms reach. Why you may need all three depends on your situation. If you have a yard, a handgun is going to be difficult to safely use at anywhere beyond 25 meters for most people, so that’s where the rifle comes in. If they are at your door or in your house, that’s what the pistol/shotgun are for, with a knfie or baton as a backup. You do not want to be shooting a rifle inside your house. The noise will be horrendous, and the bullets will over penetrate through targets and the walls behind them. As far as a proper rifle goes, your best bet is an AR15 for a few reasons. They are cheap, readily available, have a plethora of customization options, and most importantly are generally extremely reliable. Another option worth considering is a pistol caliber carbine. This is a rifle length setup chambered in pistol rounds, which reduces recoil and ammunition cost, and if you can use the same ammunition as your pistol. If done properly, you can even interchange the magazines between pistol and rifle. A baton is fantastic to keep on hand because you are less likely to get a major injury if you mishandle it. Any questions let me know!
Easiest way to put it is this way.
Rifle - Long distance shots. Semiautomatic rifles like AR-15 types put out a lot of bullets with precision and are a good way to protect a perimeter.
Pistol - Medium distance. Kill or wound in situations where you can see the white of their eyes.
Shotgun - Short distance (indoors) and highly versatile. You can even load it with “less lethal” ammo.
Knife/baton - Hand to hand combat.
I am not a hardcore gun aficionado so please, I encourage further feedback.
don’t suppressors not work for the first shit?
edit: that typo is funny and I’m keeping it
don’t suppressors not work for the first shit?
I can’t say. I’ve never fired mine from the toilet.
Well you’d better start training, hey?
Amateur
suppressors don’t make your gun quiet as much as they make them slightly less noisy, which helps if you don’t wanna blow out your eardrums. the legality of them varies tho
To answer the actual question yes, suppressors work for your first shot.
Americans
people in the country.
the bill of “rights” in most cases also, as written, applies to folks in the borders too.
Thank you! So many people don’t realize that. It’s even one of the citizenship test questions used when you go through naturalization:
- What are two rights of everyone living in the United States?
- freedom of expression
- freedom of speech
- freedom of assembly
- freedom to petition the government
- freedom of religion
- the right to bear arms
Pedofile judgment day
Gonna lose a nail loading mags.
Hope she’s got some of that “wisdom” to know her target (and what’s behind it).
