Political Humor

+1 to guns being louder than you expect. I wear earplugs + over-ear muffs with auto noise cancelling for noise over certain decibels and I still find gunshots kinda jarring.

+1000 for learning to use them. You need to understand what you're shooting at + what might be behind and around what you're shooting at. You need to always be aware of what you're shooting at even if you aren't actively shooting.

Also if you can't go to a range, don't forget PCP (Pre-Charged Pneumatic) rifles exist. They are a lot quieter than a typical firearm and where I live you can shoot air rifles within city limits as long as the pellets don't leave your property.

Going with .22, .25, or .40 cal and you can practice your aim and shooting habits on the daily (pellets and air are a lot cheaper than pellets and powder in a cartridge). Plus then you can play with things like moderators (silencers), full auto... Even automated turrets if you are that kind of crazy (don't be).

They go all the way up to around .72 cal if I'm up to date but unless you are planning to stop a truck you'll get a lot more fun from something like the Air Venturi Avenger (or the AvengeX line so you can swap calibers); just consider getting an electric pump, I used a manual one for a few months but pumping 3,000 psi manually sucks.

The number of vast posers in these threads who aren't going to do fuck all is hilarious. Tom Clancy fans.

One of my wants last year was to hit the range more often. Sometimes that isn't practical due to cost, time spent driving, etc.

I ended up getting a laser optic target for my 9mm. I can charge it, set it up at home wherever, and practice my aim. I feel like I have gotten better in a few months - or at least my grouping of shots is closer to where I want it to be. Highly recommend looking into one of them if you are at least pistol training.

Well said. I would also recommend building a cheap, shitty AR15. You learn a lot about how they work not just from building it, but by fixing it when it inevitably breaks.

And yeah, suppressors are awesome safety devices that unfortunately cost as much as a gun, if not more. The tax is gone, but I'm pretty sure manufacturers are just jacking up the prices now.

Pretty much my new years resolution right there ^^^

Safelite repair, Safelite replace.

He has a vague resemblance of Luigi

Yup

Open carry of handguns is allowed with a permit, and Minnesota is a "shall issue" state, so it's easy to get a permit.

Ironic that Democratic policies are hurting Democrats.

Fuck the dems, we need an actual pro-gun leftist party.

That’s the story he told to escape justice.

He actually went to murder people.

It's why I await a new Democratic president with the authority from the Supreme Court to have full immunity.
