F these dirtbags. I’m not for them being armed. They’re the enemy.
I hear pro-gun people saying this is an opportunity to change the minds of libs. Them buying guns scares me, though. Historically, when libs arm themselves, they don’t become more conservative. What happens is that they realize that the only way guns kill people is when you point them at someone and pull the trigger. At that point they tend to point them at people they disagree with and begin pulling the trigger.
Honestly, yeah. I had some people actually reach out who I hadn’t spoken to in years ask me about guns. I helped out my friends. The rest...the rest I wondered why they were still on my Facebook, told them to go away, and then deleted them. Sorry, you don’t get to call me racist, ignorant, and brainwashed by Russia or what not for years and then expect me to help you. You’re on your own. You claim that you’re all enlightened and smarter than I am, so figure it out, genius.
Never mind a fully automatic weapon.
Good article here.
GOOOD.....
NOW ‘they’ will demand that gun shows be allowed so they can take advantage of the ‘gun show loophole’ that EVERYONE talks about.
AFTER that myth is destroyed MAYBE, just MAYBE ‘we’ can recruit two or three of them...BUT, as stated earlier, do we really want them with weapons????
similarly, a friend of mine, in his early 50s, grew up in Mass, outside of Boston. he often says “I was a liberal until I got a job”

I have had to same experience....
Sounded like Babylon Bee headline-
Something along the lines of “Bishops ban the sign of the cross, warn that you might poke your eye out and go blind” (That was a thread here on FR recently)
Curse you both! I spent the past 10 minutes searching for that very cartoon, and boy am I glad I refreshed this thread before writing my post.
It’s a tough life folks. You reap what you sow.
He decided it was time to acquire "protection" for the home and asked me for advice. After some discussion, we settled on a 9mm semi handgun. As a new owner, I did not recommend that he buy a striker fired weapon (please don't get started on that). I told him that I have a Sig P229 "closest to me." He struck paydirt at a shop an hour away from his home and put his money down on a P229 that had just arrived in the shop. It was a long line, he says.
He's not naive and understands the CA laws. He's booked range time for familiarization and safety training. Then more time to develop skills. I sent him links for items to build a decent maintenance kit for his new acquisition plus hearing and eye protection. He should be able to pick it next week.
In helping him out, I was surprised by the number of gun shops and ranges in CA. So close to near wilderness, they have lots of outdoor ranges. That's just an observation, erasing a bit of ignorance on my part.
And yet they could have got an 80% complete kit overnight and had a functioning AR15 in a couple hours, but they would still need to go through the crap to buy ammunition.
discovering that it is just not possible to walk into a store, buy a gun and leave with it in your pocket.

It is in free states.
I hope someday California is once again free.
Exactly the same here. I am the go-to guy for all things guns and and reloading etc for a pretty wide circle of people. If you’re a lib, commie, SJW, etc. No thx, not imparting knowledge on you.
At least not for a while. Last time was in the early aughts for me. Walked out of Central Loan in downtown Seattle during my lunch hour with a Dan Wesson 15-2 in a brown paper bag.
