“Under no pretext"

Rules (Under review):

1. NO BUYING, SELLING OR TRADING of guns or accessories. Take that to Reddit and /r/GunAccessoriesForSale or Armslist.com
1. Censor all personally identifiable information in posts including serial numbers on firearms.
1. Any post or comment advocating illegal action will be removed and the poster warned. A second infraction will result in a ban.
1. Unironically suggesting the SKS as a usable rifle in the 21st Century when there are things like the AK and AR that cost only a bit more might result in a ban, it depends on how we feel.
1. Discussion of hunting is acceptable but please put "CW: hunting" in post titles. Debating the ethicality of hunting is also fine, but keep it civil and don't derail other people's threads.

Hitting the gym to become a swoletariat, looking to arm myself as well.

I've gone shooting before, and my Dad just bought a couple guns himself because of all the pogroms he's been seeing against Muslims in ingerland.

I'm based in the United States of Amerikkka, mods please let me know if this isn't allowed!

AR-15. It is the most popular gun for a reason. Any compact 9mm for concealed carry if you want to do that. Anything else is only if you want it for fun/reasons other than self defense.

What about if you live someplace that's banned semi-auto rifles?

You can essentially get a “pistol” that is functionally a rifle

In some parts of America, this is still considered a pistol, including the 50 round drum mag

But with the caveat that if you try to use the arm brace as a shoulder stock it transforms into a ludicrously expensive SBR, right?

Yep, also can’t have a vertical foregrip.

But hey, just ^don’t^ use the ^brace^ ^as^ ^a^ shoulder stock, right?
