- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).

Im someone who likes to shoot a gun at targets at the range. I find it SO creepy and unnerving when it becomes clear that someone would like to shoot at a person. They don't usually outright say it, but some make it clear in other ways.
Right? Like in my ideal world, guns would be a hobby for weird nerds in the same way fencing is today. The one or two times I have felt like there's even a small chance I may need to use a gun in self defense were terrifying and stressful.
There's quite a few hobbies where the other people who meet up to participate as a group as a group are a huge turnoff.
Guns are one of those hobbies for me.
If you like guns as a technology Open Source Defense is a good newsletter imo. They don't delve into politics thankfully but look at how laws are implemented, improving safety at scale etc
Thanks for the recommendation
See if you can find yourself a group with operation blazing sword. Whatever you do LGS usually have just FUDDs who want to talk how turnip daddy is going to make everything like it was back in the 50s again...most of the sane ass people who are into owning and shooting are online now (there are still a shit ton of magats but just avoid those places). It also helps if you can find a group that has a private range, it'll make it a lot easier to setup times to go enjoy shooting.
The "Go ahead and make my day" crowd.
Ew what a horrible, gross thing to say
Heard it a buncha times without ever really hearing it
It's a reference to the movie Dirty Harry
That does make it better!
These days it's FAFO. I used to work with someone and he would shoehorn that into conversations completely unprovoked...like he itching to find any excuse to shoot someone
There's a severe epidemic of "I wish a motherfucker would" going around.
Can't find it now, but there was an image of a police target floating around that had the outline of a person holding up a cell phone camera.
Dystopian AF.
