    Time for all those 2A, Castle Doctrine, “tally-ho lads!” types to start defending their homes, right?

    …right?

      Actually, yes.

      I am completely against violent protests. Take a look at my post history; it’s real. Letting protests turn violent is a great way to give even more power to the fascists.

      But jesus fucking christ, if they’re fool enough to take their goddamn goon show on the road and start banging on doors, whatever happens next is on them.

      Or to put it another way, for fascists hell bent on racial purity that’s one unironic way to chlorinate the piss out of the gene pool, I suppose.

          This is part of why I like buy once cry once, and extend that logic it to fully setting up each platform with whichever accessories I think it needs to be complete. Doesn’t eliminate all projects or anything but it’s a habit I wanted to build.

            In my case I meant more like finally buying the supplies I need to finish my trauma bag, get off my ass and finish the mesh repeaters I’ve been building, get a better plate for my carrier, make a set comms plan with family, that sort of thing.

            You know, all the mundane, “not as fun as my guns” stuff thats still just as important.

      I can’t, my state has made it nearly impossible for the average citizen to purchase a firearm and there’s now a poll tax I mean racist tax I mean background check fee… Because there’s already a federal background check but now my state patrol does the exact same background check using the exact same database but it takes them weeks longer to process and I still have to pay for it. Anyways probably easier for some fascist to roll in and just take my stuff the way the founding fathers intended.

      Oh and anything with a threaded barrel is banned too so I hope my family is prepared to go deaf if I ever get around to purchasing that firearm.

        Let me introduce you to black powder. Protecting your rights since we kicked it all off on April 19, 1775.

        Plus, nowadays you can get a drop-in conversion cylinder to go from powder to modern cartridges without an FFL.

        It’s in their interest to make exercising your rights difficult. Don’t let them.

          Funny enough bills were introduced to the state legislature a few days ago to ban all cad or 3d printed firearms. Apparently by requiring an additional device be attached to the printer to detect if it’s producing a firearm?

          I mean most people won’t make it to 80, so yeah, I’d say if you’ve hit 40 you’re definitely middle aged. Either way, I’m too poor to have a mid-life crisis so it doesn’t really matter much.

      Those video doorbells might actually sell better with a such an upgrade.

      “Using the new Ring “blow it” option, the camera will self destruct in a defensive measure, protecting your home, taking down an invader, and alerting everyone within earshot. This of course destroys the doorbell but we’ll happily sell you replacements if you ever get out of jail. We think you’re going to love it.”

              Ah, respect. Though I think you could slip “or by the trigger” without much fuss.

    Nazi America, folks.

    If this nation had any sense we could abolish the Republican party and never allow conservatives to hold power ever again.

      Also, slug ammo is a must. You’ll need to get through that armor they wear and that’s your best bet. Teach the others in your house how to shoot and gun safety.

        Slugs aren’t going through armour. It well lay them flat but a plug of lead is not going through armour.

        Their faces aren’t armoured. They like shooting in the face, we can return the favour.

        It brings me no joy to hear you were completely wrong. Expected? Of course. But there is nothing to celebrate here. Not that there ever was in the “good times”.

        Great idea with the insurance bit. I’m thinking of signing up for Attorneys on Retainer as I’ve heard good things about them.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
