Yeah, when I thought about I really can't come up with a single issue that the Democrats will end up siding with Trump on.

He'll push for some stuff that he promised, but it's blindingly obvious any problems will get the Heritage Foundation solution, not the Democrat solution.

He won't do anything for the rural people that voted him in beyond doing his trade negotiations and tariffs. that will probably end up hurting them.

Rebuilding/repairing our country's infrastructure. That's my dream scenario..he just focuses on that poo poo for a really long god drat time.

poo poo's like a fuckin grand+, I was planning on just getting an unsexy but functional hunting rifle and cheapo shotgun for home defense.

Yeah they are pretty drat expensive. I paid $350 for a lever action .30-30 that holds almost the same number of rounds in the same .30 cal. Less range but I live in TN where all hunting is done in the woods at distances of 150 yards max.

pro-tip: you can get surplus Soviet firearms like an SKS or an old mosin for way cheaper than an M1. You'll need to clean the poo poo out of them cause they've been sitting in cosmoline for decades, but they'll do you just as well as an M1, but tbh neither the mosin or the M1 are really optimal for any kind of defense.


full disclosure: I don't know how much SKSes cost anymore. They used to be stupid cheap, but I think I remember hearing that they're hard to find now.

Jesus people, at least wait until congress utilizes the nuclear option before you start freaking out. Any of the truly insane poo poo can still be filibustered. They don't have a supermajority.

I'm not surprised, they used to be dirt cheap. I think I paid like :tenbux: for my mosin and a case of completely defective ammo when I got it.

I've since gotten rid of it, but honestly all this has me thinking about picking up another firearm of some sort. Real :tinfoil: feeling lately.

the republican party just won an election, in sweeping manner, on a basis of lies and fascist rhetoric

why the gently caress aren't people god damned arming themselves, they aren't going to suddenly decide against fascism now that they've won?

they can't give the people who voted for them what they promised, not to any real extent, they have no prospect of keeping power going forward, they don't even half Obama's popularity to carry them to a second term. is everyone just loving assuming they are going to drop the fascist poo poo and lose their power without a fight?
Yes, calling impotently for an armed uprising against the most powerful military force on earth. Clearly what we should be doing instead of actually doing the hard work of getting people to vote and bringing people you like into power.

If you're crossing that bridge get a good revolver and learn how to maintain it. I've fired only a few guns in my life, but revolvers are the best. The bullet will go where you expect it to, and there's no slide to jam.

I'm most opposed to handguns. I prefer my guns nice and big and very visible so you know what to expect

that said, yes a revolver would be your best bet if you're gonna go with a pistol

shotguns are absurdly cheap and you can buy them at wal-mart, and they'll do the job and then some if you're just looking for home defense

with the republicans in power again, there's gonna be a lot more chances to arm yourself

"Filibuster!" they gurgle as the water runs through the cloth and into their nasal cavity

"Filibuster" they scream as the electrodes singe the hair and skin from their testicles

"Filibuster" they weep, on their knees, as the metallic certainty of a round being chambered calls out death from behind them

I still think it's a bad idea to arm up, escalation is bullshit. If poo poo gets worse though yeah, consider it if you can stomach it. At the very least though, if you're worried then get some range time and familiarize yourself with actually using a firearm or two. Good ranges have guns you can rent, and in most cases the people running them will be friendly. They love guns way more than they hate anything else and will be happy to teach you, even if you're not white.

there are also fire arm safety classes you can take in places very good idea i think buying a gun is dumb because even if a revolution were a thing you better hope its the military shooting at eachother because if the military is only shooting at you then you're hosed no matter how much 2nd amendment you have
