Real talk, you can go buy a gun today and you probably should (maybe not and maybe not today). It's twenty minutes. Then sign up for some how tos, probably at the place you bought it from and take a few classes. Shoot until you get a good feel for it, then plan to shoot every now and then or as often as you want.

Yes, it's a terrible industry run my terrible people. No you're not John Wick, but fascist need speed bumps, and the police don't care about you at best.

The eternal internal conflict of buying a gun to oppose fascism and not buying a gun because of mental health πŸ™ƒ

You have a couple of options:

First, get the gun, but before that, line up a "firing pin buddy" who can keep parts to make sure your firearms cannot fire. You give the person your firing pins when needed, or they feel they need to.

Or, don't get a gun, and git gud at other valuable skills. First aid, mutual aid networking, etc etc. Also, pepper gel is decent enough for self defense. Also, cane fighting skills work well, and a lot of self defense cases exist, for example.

A third option is to train with a gun buddy and buy one when you feel it is definitely needed. no major financial burden, and you get firearms training.

as someone who lives in canada this is surreal

US citizen? Get the ultimate antifascist machine shipped straight to your door!

Due to supply issues and customer feedback, CMP will no longer offer a free rifle case with every rifle purchase. Customers will receive one free rifle case per calendar year with their first purchase of an M1 Garand in each calendar year. Rifles not shipped in a rifle case, will be shipped in a custom (made for specifically for CMP) corrugated cardboard box with convoluted foam. Rifle cases will be eligible for purchase when quantity permits. This does not apply to pistol orders. All CMP 1911 pistols will be shipped in a pistol case.

How many people are buying multiples of these things that they had to put up this disclaimer?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Apparently there is a group of people who max out their orders every year (8 I believe) and either stockpile them or sell them in various ways.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I'd love one, but MAN are they expensive.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

If you look at how much they are on the second hand market they become much better deals. But yes, it is a large amount of money.

People should be sitting on a few drones too

Nah, they're quite pointy.

If you’re encouraging responsible ownership the very first step is secure storage.

A gun safe and a separate ammo safe.

That is the absolute first step to ensuring there are no accidental discharges. Most people are shot with their own gun, in their own home, by themselves or a family member.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Yep! I'm planning on purchasing a firearm in the next year. But I'm moving first so rather than move safes and firearms across state lines I'm waiting. Because there's little in life that's dumber than leaving around an expensive weapon that's serial number is tied to your name

Can't tell if it's satire or not, so I'm vascilating between hilarious and terrifying. Hilarifying, if you will. Terrarious if you're adventurous.

[–] sanpedropeddler 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Dan Hentschel is a prolific satirist.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Thanks for clearing that up! Hilarious it is!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Terrarious is the feeling Terraria bosses give me. They're so fucked up and so stupid looking, especially the hell wall boss.

Cocky want boing boing

He found the gun store from gtav.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

There was a local gun store in my home town that looked like this.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Can anyone tell me what this

is, because it looks like it could be a phased plasma rifle in the 40-watt range.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago (2 children)
[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

Looks about right to me!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

100% correct. That's a keltec shotgun with double tubes so it can hold 15 plus rounds.

[–] DudeImMacGyver 5 points 1 week ago

Keltec probably, their engineers are powered entirely by blow.

Ya gotta do that dance walk thingy

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago (5 children)

Non-USian here, what was the plan?

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Presumably the guy was trying to buy a gun while dressed as the joker, but the shopkeep turned him down.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago (9 children)

That's what I'd expect to happen. Why does he think it's significant enough to commemorate on social media?

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It's just a bit, for laughs.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Do people find this to be funny?

[–] TriflingToad 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

oh no, he's a comedian. A kinda dark Internet comedian.
Someone once called the cops on him because he was covered in fake blood with a knife in his car recording a video https://youtu.be/VI4GbvegGZg

Just the other week he died on video https://youtu.be/MwfgdiDuYVA

Then legend has it everything he posts has been AI sense
https://youtu.be/8pVV_utGWf0

(joking, if you didn't get it)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Oooh now that makes sense. Thank you!
