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 🙃
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.
And another good option!
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?
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.
I’d love one, but MAN are they expensive.

edit: i also misunderstood the person i was replying to, multiple levels of fuckup in this comment of mine kindly disregard
Idk I thought it was a good point. It’s a hard time to buy a bad gun, not impossible, but odds are better you’d just overpay. I haven’t got a chance to shoot one, but I understand those psa daggers are basically gen 3 Glocks now that the patents, or whatever, have expired.
I’m not sure you’d have an easy time finding a gun manufacturer/seller that isn’t sort of trash.
PSA is South Carolinian (but they also have locations in some surrounding states). Afaik, no FL.

No problem. They’re actually named after the state, too. South Carolina is known as “The Palmetto State” because their state tree is the palmetto palm, and it’s on their flag. Kinda like Texas (The Lone Star State) and its lone star.

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.
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.
Dan Hentschel is a prolific satirist.
Thanks for clearing that up! Hilarious it is!
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.
There was a local gun store in my home town that looked like this.
Can anyone tell me what this
is, because it looks like it could be a phased plasma rifle in the 40-watt range.
Looks like a KSG12 to me
Looks about right to me!
Keltec probably, their engineers are powered entirely by blow.
try in the usa instead
Where do you think this is?
you must be fun at parties
Ya gotta do that dance walk thingy
Non-USian here, what was the plan?
Presumably the guy was trying to buy a gun while dressed as the joker, but the shopkeep turned him down.
That’s what I’d expect to happen. Why does he think it’s significant enough to commemorate on social media?
It’s just a bit, for laughs.
Do people find this to be funny?
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/VI4GbvegGZgJust 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)
Oooh now that makes sense. Thank you!
Why would you expect that? I understand if he was being weird, but just being dressed a certain way shouldn’t impact whether you can buy something.
I highly doubt he was refused service, he probably just took the picture and left.

They sure can, I just don’t think they would, unless the person was acting oddly. They probably were though, because I assume that’s their shtick, but just dressing up in cosplay but otherwise acting normally probably wouldn’t bother most people behind the counter.
acting oddly
buying gun in joker paint
Yeah, that’d be odd.
deleted by creator
obviously not in their right min
That really depends on context. If the person was otherwise behaving normally and had a reasonable explanation for how they’re dressed (i.e. they’re coming back from comicon or something), I don’t see why not, as long as the background checks out.
Then again, if they come in filming the place and whatnot, then yeah, I wouldn’t touch that with a 10’ pole. That’s a lot more sus than some makeup.
Idk, might be the lack of US genes in me.
United statesian? Lol.
Yes.
I don’t think I’ve ever heard that turn of phrase before. But now I’m gonna start referring to all my buddies across the pond as UKian 😋
Good. This acronym-as-country-name thing is a bad habit that needs to be discouraged at every turn.
