Notebooks and pens are awesome and underrated!

Nope! Watching a movie about Thor or something is fine. It only doesn't work when you begin to worship Thor over God, which breaks the first commandment

shit

I would genuinely love to have stickers or tees of any one of those

Because they aren't minimalistic and "safe"

It's not surrounded by a ton of corporate bs. I know the us govt has their own openstreetmap setups (like this basic unclassified one) and wiki sites (intellipedia) because it's a proven framework to set up and add your own information.

gps too

I agree, especially about how it hones skills that are useful in life beyond hitting a target, but it's not flashy cool gun stuff so they can easily be overlooked. For me I really feel my mind working harder when running a bolt action or doing archery. I think it makes me slow down and make sure each shot counts.

There's a quote somewhere (I'll edit it in when I find it) that says something like "there is a connection between good citizenship and good marksmanship"

Edit: Here it is! It's a quote from Jeff Cooper "I have long had a tendency to tie marksmanship to morality. The essence of good marksmanship is self-control, and self-control is the essence of good citizenship. It is too easy to say that a good shot is automatically a good man, but it would be equally incorrect to ignore the connection."

Write a paper journal and when there are sensitive stories write them in a cypher only you know the key to?

I was introduced to archery in early high school! Our gym teacher was an awesome lady (I think she taught youth archery) so she had the stuff on hand and set up a 30 foot range in an "alley" behind some collapsible bleachers in the gymnasium.

We shot every day for two weeks and it was amazing to see our skills grow before our eyes. The basic firearm safety rules applied. It didn't teach you how to unload and clear a gun of course but bows were a super chill way to learn a kind of marksmanship!

You can't expect political opponents to do the hard work for you, whether it's protesting, press, or 2A stuff

All citizens have access to the same things. Someone might live in a state with restrictions, but that can be seen as a case of "you get what you vote for" too

Yeah I don't blame you!

If I was going to show a person gun stuff I wouldn't just hand them a gun on a whim. Also I wouldn't do it with a shotgun to start since the recoil is so stout and the controls are quite a bit different from other gun types.
