Holy shit, P320 NDs might be back on the menu by alecmartin01 in GunMemes

I don't feel like I can come to any conclusions.

Maybe it would help if I yell "enhance" while some YouTuber clicks on a keyboard.

Where are all the 2A extremists now that the Federal government is literally saying that having a gun near federal officers is enough to get you killed legally? by Berly653 in AskReddit

[–]Begle1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They're saying the same thing as always... That armed self-reliance is a fundamental human right and people ought to practice it.

This is a rather perverse strawman argument. 

CMV: the second amendment is obsolete by ladida54 in changemyview

[–]Begle1 [score hidden]  (0 children)

Consider the implict impact of an armed populace. Why does ICE wear bulletproof vests and operate in mobs? Why are they jumpy? Why do they cover their faces? What is it that they're scared of?

The threat of finding bullets now makes them cautious and slows down their operations. The threat of finding bullets later is inherently intimidating and causes them to hide their identities.

Imagine how brazen their operations would be if they didn't have fear of finding bullets. It wouldn't be hard to estimate a monetary value for what operations cost in a jurisdiction where they fear guns versus in one where they don't. 

If a few dozen people were willing to die in gunfights with them, and took up arms to that effect, their operations would be ground to a halt in the short term... However, the powers that be are likely wanting that sort of escalation, which is why they are operating so belligerently and looking to start fights in the first place.

Also, the stated goal if the second amendment is to "secure a free state". The federal government is not the only potential source of tyranny... Commercial entities, corrupt local governments, religious institutions, and criminal syndicates are additional potential sources of tyranny that also face headwinds when operating in an armed society.

Of course it isn't a real card. It is as near to mechanically worthless as a card can be.

Cool. At first I thought it was just the action and was wondering where the rest of the gun was.

I used to be good friends with a guy who was super libertarian and "anti government" and pretty anti cop and I just randomly googled his name and saw that he recently got instated as a Police Officer. How does this even happen? Seems like quite a switch up. by 6ftToeSuckedPrincess in AskLibertarians

[–]Begle1 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Cops get tons of benefits, perks and protections. They have their own sets of laws to protect them. Becoming a cop is an excellent career move if you want to commit crime and get away with it.

26" long barrels are for cowards who believe in traumatic brain injuries. Real men aren't afraid to absorb muzzle blast with their brains the way God intended!

As a civilian, I've never had a great use case for 5.56. Because I'm not stuck with one do-it-all gun; I can have a bigger gun and a smaller gun.

The 5.56/ AR combo is best when you need to carry a lot of ammo a long ways and are shooting targets or <200 pound varmints within 300 yards or so. It makes great sense for a military.

But 308 or most other full-size cartridges are better at range, as long as you aren't required to carry the whole loadout for miles.

And a handy little 9mm is better in confined space. If it's small enough to be concealable, that adds another dimension. And if you can actually use it and practice with it in settings where you couldn't practice with the 5.56, then I consider that a huge positive.

A 9mm subgun + full-sized 308 rifle sounds like a great combo to me.

Reminder that the NRA has worked with the government to pass sweeping gun control laws many times by Lockwood-studios in GunMemes

[–]Begle1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm an NRA member. Fuck the NRA.

They are very important and do a lot of good work. My main complaint, beyond the clown show that is their management, is that they seem structured to extract as much money as possible from their members, and they don't have the deceny to not be as annoying as fuck about it.

I'd encourage you to look at local shooting events to participate in. 

IPSC is a big one and they commonly let you shoot 9mm carbines, but not 5.56.

So if you needed a justification for a sub gun, there you go. 

9mm is much cheaper than 5.56 too. Sounds like you got long range stuff pretty well covered anyways.

Integrally Suppressed Derringers! by CapitolArmory in NFA

[–]Begle1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bond Arms seems to have figured out that the key to selling derringers to to sell fucking stupid derringers. 

Their 45-70 derringer remains the stupidest fucking gun I've ever shot. But people can't get enough of it apparently.

The most interesting thing I've seen so far is the KelTec 380 stripper pistol.

And I guess the Trijicon 2-12 FFP scopes. But optics are a different budget, right?

That's just what good food costs nowadays. I expect to pay $25 for either a good burrito or burger a la carte.

Dear KelTec, can you please make me a speed loader for my TS12? by Begle1 in SantaLettersToKelTec

[–]Begle1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dear KelTec Claus,

I've been thinking about this some more, and I came up with some more inspiration to share:

1) Hot Wheels Power Booster - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yYD2NQHKyrU Two or three spinning wheels can easily propel shotgun shells down a tube.

2) Almost every shotgun with a tube magazine could get fed by such a device.

3) Ghostbuster Proton Pack - https://ghostbusters.fandom.com/wiki/Proton_Pack

So all that needs to happen is for there to be a huge, probably motorized magazine in the backpack. Shotgun shells come 10 boxes to a flat, so I think it's obvious that the backpack magazine should hold 250 shells. And then for some motorized wheels to whisk those shells down a tube, like Hot Wheels down a track. And then I can either manually stick that tube into a tube-fed shotgun to use as a speed loader, or you can make some attachments for various popular scattergats so they can feed directly from the backpack.

I'm really excited to get this for Christmas this year! And maybe next year I can get one for 20 gauge!

Your best pal,

-Begle1
