    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.

        Sure but they’ll keep escalating so either people do something or just accept it and roll over.

      Sitting on Lemmy waiting for some 338LM brass to dry in the oven then I’m back to the press to fill and seat everything. Have been putting off loading for my precision rig but recent events have introduced some new urgency to that task.

          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?

          Fun times.
