COPY/PASTA

In the US we have the Second Amendment. The fascists have been the ones screaming and yelling about the Second Amendment, but the truth is that all Americans have the right.

Owning a gun isn't enough. Driving to Cabela's and picking up a vermin killing .22 rifle is not enough. You should buy a proper rifle, a pistol, and a knife or baton. (Bonus points for a shotgun) Then you need to train with said rifle, pistol and knife/baton. Go to a range and shoot. Look for local self defense/hand to hand combat with a weapon classes and train.

I am not advocating for violence...far from it. But I am advocating for knowledge because owning a weapon and not knowing how to use it is a recipe for disaster.

PS: If you can afford it, buy suppressors and/or active hearing protection. Especially for your rifles. Suppression for the common citizen isn't about stealth like in the movies, it is about protecting your hearing. Guns are LOUD. Much louder than you expect. Suppressors might be out of reach for most but quality active and passive hearing protection is not.

It really is a damn shame suppressors are illegal in California.

It's moronic. We demand lower noise in most products, but demand higher noise in guns because we can't distinguish Hollywood bullshit from reality. I think most CA Dems would accept the premise that reducing injurious noise levels while participating in a legal activity is a good idea, but institutionally they'd never give an inch on gun laws.

I like not being a gringo.

I like living in a normal country.

I like living in a country that's not controlled by a cabal of pedofiles.

Hello folks.

For reasons unrelated to this post I believe everyone should get into the FPV drone hobby. People with minimal constitution can get great results - especially gamers!

A radio controller is about $150, and can be used with many great simulators on steam. Once you are comfortable with the simulation, invest in a (few) drones. Most of their parts can be 3D printed for cheap, and the rest bought from Chinese companies for cheap.

It is a lot of fun to fly around in the first person view. I hear they are very popular in Ukraine for some reason.

What if i wanted to combine my two favorite hobbies of guns and drones? How would I go about fusing them in some kind of way?

Synthetic black powder is fairly common and is great for all sorts of fireworks and such. Drone shows should really incorporate more powder.

Gandhi was non violent and unarmed. But he WAS NOT peaceful. His protests were absolutely poison for the colonial economy and he broke several laws and had stints in prison during his time.

I'm reminded in this time that one of the reasons that Japan dare trying to invade the USA was "A gun behind every blade of grass." Helicopters, planes, drones can't hold positions. You need troops on the ground to hold a position to keep people in line. It's hard to to do that when you can be shot from any direction.

As well to me, if I'm facing the possibility of being killed execution style for just demonstrating or helping someone that was maced, I'd rather be armed. Even if I have little chance of surviving, that's better than 0.

Funny thing is, if an armed populace is utterly incapable of doing a single damn thing as the gun banners say they are, WHY do the authoritarians in charge of these powerful modern military still banning guns?

Doomed if you do. Doomed if you don't. So might as well be a man and do what you believe in.

"Arm" yourselves with gas masks, hardhats, traffic cones (if holes for air at the top, duct tape them shut.

Cops shouldn't have assault rifles either, they're not the military. I find the second amendment so fucking dumb. It's to rise up against a tyrannical government. But since you have it, precisely now is the time to use it. Helloooow? Why don't you use it? You have a tyrannical government full of pedophiles. All those decades full of innocent deaths, all so you can keep your precious second amendment, just in case you reach a point you are in now. Well, go ahaid then, prove all those deaths were worth it. Bunch of self-centered uneducated hypocrites.
