Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

I should probably get a gun or something.. at least take one down with me when they kick my door in.

I was dragging my feet on it but I'm 100% purchasing more than one after this event. If the brownshirts come knocking, I refuse to leave this planet with a K/D ratio below 1.

whoa.. that seems cheap? I thought the gun alone would be like $1k

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

The gun itself if you buy the frame and the slide can be got for around 200. You will need to pay an FFL and background check fee. That should be around $50. Magazines for Glocks (which a PSA dagger can take) are easily found.

ok you got me with the power of a solid deal. i looked up reviews and people say it's a pretty solid gun, and that seems straight up dirt cheap. i guess ill be finding the time to get out to a range sometime soon lmao

If you're on a budget, get yourself a Hi-Point. From what I've heard they're pretty good for the money, and might be my first pistol for myself once I get to getting a gun license.

I have a gun but I need to buy some ammo asap.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

y'all laughed when they put ammo dispensing machines in the supermarkets

I'm writing my California state reps to get these installed in every Vons pronto.

you know ive been considering getting a gun for a while, for normal purposes with no intention to ever shoot anyone. but now i feel like i shouldn't get one for a while, considering my recent comments regarding this incident combined with a firearm purchase would look REALLY bad to any bad-faith observers lmao

Better to have one than not. More importantly reach out to your local orgs and make some friends.
