LOL at you people not buying quality AR-15s or AK variants. FFS, go out and buy yourself a Colt LE6920 or FN rifle and call it a day.

I can see not buying something fancy if you live somewhere where they're restricted or magazine capacities are restricted.

Spending $500 on an SKS vs $500 on an AR-15 in a place with no AWB or magazine restrictions? Holy gently caress buy the AR-15.

gently caress can we just light this civil war off already. Also I usually keep my mouth shut.....but holy gently caress now some of you dudes that were pro gun control are seeing the value in firearms and the right to self defense. Oath Keeper retards and most of the retarded gun community not withstanding. I really really really wish Democrats would lay the gently caress off gun control poo poo because whelp look where we are now. I'm honestly considering what the gently caress I'm going to do if this erupts into a civil war or whatever the gently caress.

I've never been big on owning a firearm while also not trusting the government, because they are always going to have bigger guns than I would in such a conflict.

Basically the hope in this scenario is lay low, grab an M-16 off one of the fallen and then get in ~The Peoples Militia~. I guess buying a long rifle on standby with some good camo gear and a scope would probably be the way to go but *shrugs*, I don't have the space or training area for it.

Basically Red Dawn, except the Chinese are the Feds in this metaphor.

I've been a Democrat for my entire adult life and have also owned guns and shot as a hobby during the same period, so yeah not all lefties hate guns. I sort of want to join/start a local liberal shooting club so I can go to the range with people who aren't racists or parroting everything they heard on Breitbart that day. I've gotta imagine there are enough lefty gun owners in the Milwaukee-Chicago area to support something like that.

I put together an AR-15 this year, lots of fun to shoot when you're not doing dumb Army ranges:



As far as it becoming a thing for liberal people to buy guns because they're worried for their safety over political violence, well that's terrifying and speaks volumes about where we are as a society right now.

Protests goddamn everywhere, from Boise, Idaho to Birmingham, Alabama.

I don't think the clever signs are helpful, they seem just self-gratifying and probably won't change any views
Not against protesting, I just think a protestor's presence means much more than the sign

Tbh I can imagine deplorables feeling like nothing's wrong; urban folks are getting a dose of the media panic deplorables have been getting for years, only that the headlines are on the New York Times instead of TheBlaze

More like sidestep. "Information indicating serious threat" is still vague enough to mean "brown people."

Maybe. You're not wrong there. You do have to admit that he's entered a far different realm of being a public figure. The Donald Trump of two years ago did not warrant this level of scrutiny.

Thinking I should go for my firearms course and get one. The last time I was shooting (in :911:, outside LA) I was actually getting decent groupings after overhearing some training someone else was receiving and it would probably be a really good thing to have see as there's a nutcase in the house next door now, and he's got a lot more guns than me.

Louise Mensch isn't exactly the best source to determine if Bannon is running a "rogue" twitter account.

I mean, just read this poo poo and then remind yourself she's been telling everyone this is exactly what is going to happen (has shown no signs of happening). There's a reason she had to post this on a wordpress blog and couldn't publish it elsewhere. And I say that as someone who wishes her fanfic were the reality.

She's a broken clock at this point. Though I'm not putting much stock into that twitter account either.
