Real talk, you can go buy a gun today and you probably should (maybe not and maybe not today). It's twenty minutes. Then sign up for some how tos, probably at the place you bought it from and take a few classes. Shoot until you get a good feel for it, then plan to shoot every now and then or as often as you want.

Yes, it's a terrible industry run my terrible people. No you're not John Wick, but fascist need speed bumps, and the police don't care about you at best.

[-] VoteNixon2016 26 points 1 month ago

The eternal internal conflict of buying a gun to oppose fascism and not buying a gun because of mental health 🙃

[-] 1985MustangCobra@lemmy.ca 15 points 1 month ago

as someone who lives in canada this is surreal

[-] Cypher@aussie.zone 3 points 1 month ago

If you’re encouraging responsible ownership the very first step is secure storage.

A gun safe and a separate ammo safe.

That is the absolute first step to ensuring there are no accidental discharges. Most people are shot with their own gun, in their own home, by themselves or a family member.

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Yep! I'm planning on purchasing a firearm in the next year. But I'm moving first so rather than move safes and firearms across state lines I'm waiting. Because there's little in life that's dumber than leaving around an expensive weapon that's serial number is tied to your name

People should be sitting on a few drones too

[-] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 month ago

Nah, they're quite pointy.

[-] IMongoose@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

US citizen? Get the ultimate antifascist machine shipped straight to your door!

[-] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Due to supply issues and customer feedback, CMP will no longer offer a free rifle case with every rifle purchase. Customers will receive one free rifle case per calendar year with their first purchase of an M1 Garand in each calendar year. Rifles not shipped in a rifle case, will be shipped in a custom (made for specifically for CMP) corrugated cardboard box with convoluted foam. Rifle cases will be eligible for purchase when quantity permits. This does not apply to pistol orders. All CMP 1911 pistols will be shipped in a pistol case.

How many people are buying multiples of these things that they had to put up this disclaimer?

[-] IMongoose@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Apparently there is a group of people who max out their orders every year (8 I believe) and either stockpile them or sell them in various ways.

[-] BeMoreCareful@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

I'd love one, but MAN are they expensive.

[-] IMongoose@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

If you look at how much they are on the second hand market they become much better deals. But yes, it is a large amount of money.

[-] Sharpiemarker@startrek.website 26 points 1 month ago

Can't tell if it's satire or not, so I'm vascilating between hilarious and terrifying. Hilarifying, if you will. Terrarious if you're adventurous.

[-] expatriado@lemmy.world 15 points 1 month ago

try in the usa instead

[-] BetaBlake@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Where do you think this is?

[-] expatriado@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

you must be fun at parties

[-] tfw_no_toiletpaper@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago

Cocky want boing boing

[-] tacosanonymous@lemm.ee 12 points 1 month ago

He found the gun store from gtav.

[-] 1985MustangCobra@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 month ago

There was a local gun store in my home town that looked like this.

[-] GraniteM@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago

Can anyone tell me what this

is, because it looks like it could be a phased plasma rifle in the 40-watt range.

[-] stoi@lemm.ee 5 points 1 month ago

Looks like a KSG12 to me

[-] GraniteM@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Looks about right to me!

[-] DudeImMacGyver@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 month ago

Keltec probably, their engineers are powered entirely by blow.

[-] underwire212@lemm.ee 10 points 1 month ago

[-] HootinNHollerin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 month ago

Ya gotta do that dance walk thingy

[-] Lumidaub@feddit.org 5 points 1 month ago

Non-USian here, what was the plan?

[-] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 16 points 1 month ago

Presumably the guy was trying to buy a gun while dressed as the joker, but the shopkeep turned him down.

[-] Lumidaub@feddit.org 7 points 1 month ago

That's what I'd expect to happen. Why does he think it's significant enough to commemorate on social media?

[-] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 16 points 1 month ago

It's just a bit, for laughs.

[-] TriflingToad@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 month ago

oh no, he's a comedian. A kinda dark Internet comedian.
Someone once called the cops on him because he was covered in fake blood with a knife in his car recording a video https://youtu.be/VI4GbvegGZg

Just the other week he died on video https://youtu.be/MwfgdiDuYVA

Then legend has it everything he posts has been AI sense
https://youtu.be/8pVV_utGWf0

(joking, if you didn't get it)

[-] Lumidaub@feddit.org 2 points 1 month ago

Oooh now that makes sense. Thank you!

[-] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago

Why would you expect that? I understand if he was being weird, but just being dressed a certain way shouldn't impact whether you can buy something.

I highly doubt he was refused service, he probably just took the picture and left.

[-] Lumidaub@feddit.org 1 points 1 month ago

Idk, might be the lack of US genes in me.

[-] sOlitude24k@lemmy.myserv.one 1 points 1 month ago

United statesian? Lol.

[-] Lumidaub@feddit.org 1 points 1 month ago

Yes.

[-] sOlitude24k@lemmy.myserv.one 1 points 1 month ago

I don't think I've ever heard that turn of phrase before. But now I'm gonna start referring to all my buddies across the pond as UKian 😋

[-] Lumidaub@feddit.org 1 points 1 month ago

Good. This acronym-as-country-name thing is a bad habit that needs to be discouraged at every turn.

[-] kandoh@reddthat.com 1 points 1 month ago

Looks like a lady with bad STDs was riding his face and racoon'd him
