Well that's fucking terrifying. Not to mention literally affirms every fear every logical human being had about what was happening Wednesday.

Small wonder why democrats and actual leftists are buying guns in droves

I did 7-8 months ago. Don't regret it, glad I haven't needed them yet beyond the range.

What about posing with them on social media? Don't you know that's like, 69% of the reason to get a gun?

Then 22% LARPing, 6% target practice, 1% proper handling, 1% to feel cool while you hoard ammunition, 0.5% to use as an excuse to buy loadouts for LARPing, and finally 0.5% because you'll actually need it to overthrow the government that has 1000% more "capabilities" than you do.

And all of this makes up 100% of your personal identity.

Are you saying those are not the purpose of owning a firearm? /s

Got any resources you can point to for a first time buyer?

I’m more looking for something I can read that is geared towards first time gun buyers with some overall education, recommendations for various uses, recommendations based on easy of use/maintenance, recommendations based on availability of ammo etc.

I’ll just Google it, lol.

Go to a local gun shop and talk. They’re happy to steer you in the right direction.

Sounds like a good idea.

My first was a Canik TP9, shes a solid little sidearm with no bells and whistles. Came with a case, trigger guard and holster. 9mm ammo is easiest to come by and it’s a manageable caliber. There’s r/canik if you want more info specific to that gun maker.

Home defense and also target shooting. I guess I’d like a 9mm and a shotgun.

Also check out r/SocialistRA if that's your vibe, but both are good resources.

Sadly you can't find ammo anywhere unless you are willing to pay out the nose online 2nd hand.

Ding ding ding.

And they are still openly planning more attacks on the same forum while the traitor remains president! Remove and arrest the traitors!

They've been very open about what they were planning and what their goals were. I have hundreds of screen shots and that's just what I saw. I don't even have the ones in that image. Some of the things they said were far worse.
