Time for all those 2A, Castle Doctrine, "tally-ho lads!" types to start defending their homes, right?

........right?

    Sitting on Lemmy waiting for some 338LM brass to dry in the oven then I'm back to the press to fill and seat everything. Have been putting off loading for my precision rig but recent events have introduced some new urgency to that task.

    I hear ya. All of a sudden projects that have been "some day" turned into "right the hell now".

    This is part of why I like buy once cry once, and extend that logic it to fully setting up each platform with whichever accessories I think it needs to be complete. Doesn't eliminate all projects or anything but it's a habit I wanted to build.

    In my case I meant more like finally buying the supplies I need to finish my trauma bag, get off my ass and finish the mesh repeaters I've been building, get a better plate for my carrier, make a set comms plan with family, that sort of thing.

    You know, all the mundane, "not as fun as my guns" stuff thats still just as important.

    Also... consider the go-bag and updating those passports if they have expired and GTFO... or, conversely, go analog and to the mountains. Never considered that Go Wolverines might be up against the US Gestopo vs the "Soviets."

    I hadn't been loading much of anything since the price of powder and primers went up 2-3x. But, understand that sense of urgency. Got my order of heavy-weight pills recently, so going to dust off my press and spend some time on it this weekend.

    I can't, my state has made it nearly impossible for the average citizen to purchase a firearm and there's now a poll tax I mean racist tax I mean background check fee... Because there's already a federal background check but now my state patrol does the exact same background check using the exact same database but it takes them weeks longer to process and I still have to pay for it. Anyways probably easier for some fascist to roll in and just take my stuff the way the founding fathers intended.

    Oh and anything with a threaded barrel is banned too so I hope my family is prepared to go deaf if I ever get around to purchasing that firearm.

    Let me introduce you to black powder. Protecting your rights since we kicked it all off on April 19, 1775.

    Plus, nowadays you can get a drop-in conversion cylinder to go from powder to modern cartridges without an FFL.

    It's in their interest to make exercising your rights difficult. Don't let them.

    There's not a single state where it's impossible for you to buy a firearm. At most we're talking a wait period and maybe a restriction on "assault style" weapons. Which basically means you can buy a hunting rifle with a high capacity chambered in the same rounds. Effectively the same capabilities

    It's okay that you are ignorant of some laws. Lookup WA state firearm purchase restrictions for 2026. Enjoy your long and confusing read. And maybe do a little research before you yap about something you have no fucking clue about.

    A free online class, passing a background check, and waiting 10 days is not impossible. As of today the only other requirement is being 21.

    Beginning in 2027 you will need a state permit. Which requires nothing new except fingerprinting and a fee ($95). The state then must issue, per the law, the permit in 30 days. This is basically many states concealed carry permit rules.

    So yeah this is not impossible by any stretch of the imagination. A simple Google search even reveals that there are gun stores operating in your state. Crazy to imagine they operate with it being impossible to sell guns.

    Unless you're under 21 the only thing preventing you from buying a gun is a criminal record, severe mental illness leading to being institutionalized, or laziness.

    Actually, yes.

    I am completely against violent protests. Take a look at my post history; it's real. Letting protests turn violent is a great way to give even more power to the fascists.

    But jesus fucking christ, if they're fool enough to take their goddamn goon show on the road and start banging on doors, whatever happens next is on them.

    Or to put it another way, for fascists hell bent on racial purity that's one unironic way to chlorinate the piss out of the gene pool, I suppose.

    Are you unable to articulate your own thoughts? It can't be that compelling if you can't even bring it yourself. Look at you so intellectually helpless you have to fling someone else's social media at me, like the whole chunk, as though you can't figure it out.

    If you can, point to the place on the image that is your direct answer to my comment, otherwise it's just regurge.

    Be sure to include how Charlottesville (Trump's favorite, where they killed Heather Heyer) was a grand success, and Minneapolis a few years ago (George Floyd) and Portland, etc. Give examples of recent violent protests in the US that have been grand examples of your premise, because we've had them, and they are simply not remembered except as the own-goals they are. Or maybe you're a J-6 fan? Not sure, couldn't tell from what you didn't write, lol.

    You're just a secondhand larper using someone else's words to provoke other people to fight.

    Renee Nicole Good was unarmed, and she was shot in the face by ICE. I bet a lot of people will figure that if they're going to murder us anyway...

    An unarmed, not-quite-middle-aged, white, mother-of-three, native-born citizen, who had been idling in her mom-mobile full of pets and kids' toys.

    What she almost killed the ICE agent according to the government. I mean there is video of him walking away. What a hero so close to death and he managed to walk away.

    Door to door eh?

    They better have a fucking stack of warrants.

    Otherwise my answer is pretty fucking simple.

    Those video doorbells might actually sell better with a such an upgrade.

    “Using the new Ring “blow it” option, the camera will self destruct in a defensive measure, protecting your home, taking down an invader, and alerting everyone within earshot. This of course destroys the doorbell but we’ll happily sell you replacements if you ever get out of jail. We think you’re going to love it.”

    We’re going to have people living in other people’s attics and basements for security soon, aren’t we?

    What has this country come to? I don’t even recognize it anymore. Its collective values have separated so starkly from mine that I am not sure I can continue living here.

    It's getting spooky watching American television. It's like watching ghosts of what America used to be, or at least what I used to believe it was. The reality of what America has become hasn't impacted television much yet.

    Same, but I don't have the resources or connections to move anywhere else. My wife and I don't have kids to protect, so we've been seriously considering just driving out to the desert and ending it.

    Edit: My mom and her wife are still alive, that's really the only thing keeping me alive. If anyone comes for them, I will kill them.

    Nazi America, folks.

    If this nation had any sense we could abolish the Republican party and never allow conservatives to hold power ever again.
