and police have already been targeted, shot and killed during the riots. things are already in motion, just not on a wide scale yet which is inevitable if we keep going the way we are. militias are already poping up all over (even the fucking boogboys hvae been seen marching with black panthers against the police and government), guns sales are going through the roof with ~40% being first time buyers, probably by previous anti-gun liberals who are starting to see the writing on the wall.

tis a mystery.

right now i rent, but im saving up to own.

less than 1000, more than 0.

people need to be smarter than this. if someone is crazy enough to put up a nazi flag in this day and age you have to expect them to be crazy enough to shoot you dead over it. he probably used it specifically as bait.

on one hand i can appreciate the willingness to protect your home, especially one as nice and obviously cared for as theirs, but this whole move was just a shit show.

if they feared for their life then what they did was NOT the route to go. especially the stupid bitch walking out brandishing a 6-7 shot saterday night special (ironic really) with her finger on the trigger muzzle sweeping everything in the area while standing 20feet from a mob of hundreds of people youre supposed to be scared of trying to show off how big your imaginary balls are.

its gameplay is horribly repetitive, but if you can get into its loop and dont mind the repetition then its incredibly addictive. i got well over 200hours out of my one save.

I don't know jack about 3 d printers, but are ones that use metal availible to the general public? Surly you cannot make a rifle barrell, or receiver out of plastic.

youd need a cnc machine, which arnt as cheap, but are getting cheaper each year. assuming you had both and plans/or knowledge to make them you could make a complete firearm from scratch (and people do) and one that would last a considerable amount of rounds. its not as simple as going to the pawn shop, filling out a 4473 and walking out with a gun, but its getting to be less difficult, less expensive and having access to higher quality materials each year.

sooner or later its going to get to a point where if someone wants a gun they ARE going to be able to get one.

so how bout those bumpstocks...

the day mobs show up to take down those statues is the day the morgues get backed up.

im a hell of a liar then.

pro doesnt start to get dicey until the castle and beyond. the first two chapters are pretty straight forward if youve played the game before. 2 hits pretty much do you in and one hit to ashley.

Thinking of getting that S&W M&P

better than a glawk

lolno

when ever i decide to "retire" i want to either move back up to the UP or head to some uber remote region of alaska.

waco is pretty much the perfect example of why they should be demilitarized. the north hollywood shootout at best is an example of still needing special response teams, not so any cop can be a one man army.

abolish the NFA and ATF

ehhhhhhh...5/10. +1 for aesthetic though. all these mlok freefloat rail builds have no soul.

when it comes to AR's the $350-600 range will get you a decent weekend warrior setup. theyll go bang, but arnt anything fancy. i wouldnt want to drop into afghanistan or the jungle with one of these, but there fine for range use and needing something in a pinch. $800-1000 tend to get you better finishes, tighter tolerances with (theoretically) more reliability. $1000-1500 usually offer the whole packages with better extras (higher quality sites, hand guards, charging handles ect.). this price range tends to be ideal for a serious setup, anything more and you will be seeing significant returns outside of (imo) knights armament stuff. of course this also doesnt include stuff like optics which is a whole other ball of wax.

takes a lot of money to maintain a modern police state.

unless you live in a really remote area iv never liked the thought of a truck gun, especially during a riot where the chances of it getting stolen are substantially higher. id rather just upgrade my carry gun which should always be on you anyway.

whos to say those "vocal gun owners" arnt the ones currently running down and shooting cops?

So why aren't gun owners doing anything right now other than killing protesters

the protesters are more than welcome to arm up.

looks like everything is sorting itself out.

if someone is going to break the law knowing full well what might happen (especially in the US) then its hard for me to feel sorry for you. they made their own choices.

and where are YOU? the 2nd isnt limited to the right.

i would hit up some pawn shops. might get lucky and find a century arms or cimarron with external hammers. usually go for ~$300.

points for the effort.

maybe they should have brought a shit ton of guns.

Idk I have three guns and havent shot them in years, but I dont hunt.

i dont hunt either, but as someone who has carried daily for years i have 4 handguns alone in my rotation based on a number of factors.

JACKBUTTMOMMY posted...

I would say more than 3 per person unless theyre a legitimate non paranoid collector or competitor or something. And even then theyre a little nuts. 1 pistol, 1 shotgun, 1 rifle.

you could very much make a case a for a LOT more than that. guns are not do-alls, like any other item or tool.

when you think about fucking your guns.

i wear a $10 casio and carry a $600 CZ if that tells you anything.

of course not, officer.

i hug her, say thank you and throw it in the pile.

careful you dont pop a blood vessel.

some sketchy design choices aside its still a souls game. albeit the "worst" one, but even that pretty much means it doesnt go below an 7.5/10. keep your expectation in check especially if youre still riding the first ones high and its still a good time.

if youre not comfortable with firearms id atleast think about beefing up your home security rather than going to a firearm IF you have the means. theres lots of ways to detract criminals from robbing you. motion lights, random on/off switches for home lights, steel frames on doors with security locks, beware of dog signs (NOT "firearms in side" or "intruders may be shot"), security film over windows, outdoor cameras (even if there fake), a security system ect.

that all said a lot of those things are not practical for the same price, but also know that if youre going to get robbed its most likely while your not at home of which those precautions will make them think twice about robbing you in general, home or not.

with that said again there ARE some real crazies out there that might just not give a shit. iv seen it before and theres lots of videos out there showing it of which a gun would be the last line of defense and one you can get for a substantially lower cost.

as far as the type of firearms themselves go i would personally goto a handgun. not that rifles or shotguns arnt good too, but chances are pretty high the areas your going to be defending consists of narrow corridors and tight corners which really isnt 100% practical for a long gun.

as for the type of handgun the skies the limit as are the philosophies, but in general if it will reliably go bang and you can handle it then its a good HD weapon. the M&P EZ is a nice little gun and can be managed by everyone, but its also a single stack .380. not that 9 shots of .380 wont cause someone to skater or put them down, but it can leave you open for intruders to still react to the situation and something liek 45% of home invasions tend to have more than one individual. because of that (and the unknown) its good to either have maximum power (like a .357, 10mm or even .44 of which if someone gets hit with just one of these they are going to be down for the count) or maximum capacity (like a whole host of double stack 9mm's) which gives you more opportunities to end the threat(s).

there is also something to be said for the sound of the firearm. guns are LOUD to the point that many calibers can deafen individuals and cause issues with their awareness (which HAS gotten people killed because they couldnt properly respond to a police presence afterwards). because of this i am personally fond of a .45 handgun for home defense. its a big bullet with a wide variety weights, its naturally subsonic so it wont completely blow your eardrums out and modern handguns offer decent capacities for it (like the Glock 21 and FNX).

a couple more things to ponder is the argument for "tacticool" features of their firearms (liek shell holders, mean looking compensators, extended magazines, suppressors, unique forms of ammo ect.) which depending if you actually had to use your weapon the most shit you put on it might make it seem like you were waiting for that oppertunity which may not play well to a jury depending on the state your in.

the other thing is the idea of magazine fed weapons and spring compression. the magazine of a firearm which holds the bullets and the firing pin spring which hits the primer causing the round to go off can decompress after a period of time if left cocked and loaded. if your someone who takes care of their firearms and mantains them regularly this is less of an issue, but if this is a "set it and forget it" type weapon that could be setting in a closet, loaded collecting dust for years then this issue might be a serious problem and can mean malfunctions at the worst possible time (this goes for the ammunition you have loaded in them. if the weapon is meant for a life and death situation its VERY important that you change out the ammo in them atleast once every year since they will be susceptible to every day elements and the components in the bullets will start to break down causing issues). because of this some people tend to use revolvers or break open shotguns as HD weapon since that factor is out of the question. largely not an issue, but something to consider since oyu said you arnt big into guns so this weapon may or may not just be sitting around waiting.

and in general just be safe with them and learn to use them right AND make sure you shoot them and maintain them regularly (even if you dont particularly enjoy it). they are deadly, but they arnt some mystical force that requires years of practice to get right. they are very simple tool to learn on and use.

In before someone says "tHe aR15 iSnT aN aSsAuLt rIfLe!"

My response to that is STFU, nobody cares about the exact terminology.

by all definitions you can find, yes an AR15 is not an assault rifle.

finalbossfight posted...

Probably because of the Nova Scotia shooting.

and yet as far as we know an "assault style weapon" was not used in that event.

banning 200k+ guns which statistically show up in the LEAST amount of gun crime and gun deaths while being a response to an event which didnt involve those kinds of guns while also ignoring that the vast vast vast majority of gun crime are done with illegal guns that get smuggled through the US.

im sure canadians all over are feeling safer already.

Why's that?

0 isnt a bad game, but it does have some questionable design choices built into its core design which may or may not drive you up a wall.

$250 hiking boots.

learn to do most stuff your self and dont wait to act on certain things. if you think something is getting wore down, take care of it, dont wait for it to fail just because you dont want to spend the money. too many elements of a house that can cause a chain reaction of bad shit if it doesnt get taken care of in time.

why hasnt canada banned guns?

there gettin to it.

2 can be considered "more of the same" with a less bombastic storyline. however pretty much everything about its gameplay has been improved tho still dont expect an amazing shooting experience. its storyline isnt as interesting, but unlike 1 it also doesnt peter out over time, but gets better and leads up to very well done end sequences. its dlc, Menerva's den, as far as being a self contained 4-5 hour entry is probably the best the whole series has to offer.

Infinite is more like 1 in that its presentation and world design takes center stage. its art direction and production values like 1 are insane and immensely well done. the shooting aspect has also gotten a significant bump, tho pretty much everything from a gameplay perspective has also been overly streamlined and dumbed down to a degree. Unlike 1 however its story doesnt loose its luster by the half way point. it just keeps getting more batshit till the end and while if you wanted to you can take it apart to your hearts content its still an interesting ride in the moment.

get rid of the NFA and the ATF and maybe ill think about it.

it wont, but free money is free money.

the 289hours i have logged in it across 3 platforms says yes.
