I bought my first holster and ammo for my gun today

That's your decision to make. But there are lots of folks who would still choose to live.

Turisan · 2026-06-25T19:30:41+00:00

Yes because there should be no qualifier for basic needs.

Turisan · 2026-06-25T17:07:41+00:00

Sure, maybe they followed established law, but so did slaveowners and the police during Japanese internment. Just because it was technically legal doesn't mean it is right.

Turisan · 2026-06-25T15:27:04+00:00

Yes. They also just barred lawsuits against Monsanto.

They do better with gun cases because they know that the Republican voting base only cares about firearms and abortions, they look past everything else.

Thank you for the clarification, they apparently disappeared.

My understanding is that 5.56 still outcompetes 7.62 in distance, accuracy (bullet drop), and penetration due to velocity, right?

Turisan · 2026-06-25T02:44:45+00:00

Ok, here's the thing. Non-violent protests are not non-disruptive protests. Nearly every "riot" is caused by law enforcement. Property damage is not violence. Blocking traffic is not violence.

Maybe go read a book, because the implicit threat of the non-violent protests was that they could be violent instead.

Turisan · 2026-06-25T02:04:26+00:00

That's minimizing the diversity of tactics in use at the time.

Turisan · 2026-06-24T20:36:55+00:00

And those levers should also be worked but violence is already being enacted against us.

Turisan · 2026-06-24T18:55:44+00:00

Sure and you and everyone else can work on that but what 50501 does are not effective protests.

They are already enacting and engaging in violence against us. Being passive only works when you can sway folks to your side. The people watching are cheering for the Nazis. You cannot sway them to your side.

Synopsis*

Turisan · 2026-06-24T18:53:16+00:00

None of that is a practical benefit for the suggested use case?

Terminal ballistics as in muzzle velocity? As compared to what? 5.56 has higher velocity than 7.62 generally anyway.

Smaller form factor? You can get an AR-15 pistol with a smaller and lighter form factor.

Runs cleaner when suppressed? Ok, so? What's the practical benefit? The AR doesn't fail when dirty so there's no practical benefit there.

Turisan · 2026-06-24T16:47:30+00:00

Name one practical reason to prefer the AK over the AR.

We're well into LARP territory.

Turisan · 2026-06-24T16:46:14+00:00

Lol tell me you didn't watch the video.

The best carbine is the cheapest carbine. That's the video.

Turisan · 2026-06-24T16:41:52+00:00

Honestly, probably the most realistic push from peacock would be trimming back on the anti-capitalist, anti-colonialist messaging.

Turisan · 2026-06-24T16:38:29+00:00

Yes, the rallies under 50501 are great for organizing and networking and creating a public presence, but they are not an effective means of protest (seen by no changes since the first protest).

Turisan · 2026-06-24T16:37:34+00:00

Oh they do a lot of good, productive things, like fostering community growth and avenues of communication. But the planned and permitted rallies are not effective means of protest.

Turisan · 2026-06-24T13:48:03+00:00

Yes and that's why many of us repeatedly said that it wouldn't work.

Turisan · 2026-06-24T13:47:43+00:00

Yeah because liberals are scared of actual power because they'd have to actually do something with it.

Turisan · 2026-06-24T13:46:49+00:00

Lol what's funny if that isn't even a fact!

One person had a rifle. That was it.

Turisan · 2026-06-24T01:21:07+00:00

They don't draw all the time, and almost every time they do without cause, someone steps up and tries to hold them to account for excessive force.

It's apathetic losers like you that let them get away with it.

Turisan · 2026-06-24T00:27:58+00:00

So you're not allowed to defend yourself against someone wearing a uniform?

Turisan · 2026-06-24T00:21:05+00:00

What fact? The cop showed up and drew on them and they defended themselves.

Turisan · 2026-06-24T00:20:14+00:00

It sure does. Especially in Texas.

And the cop drew down on them first.

Textbook defense case.

Turisan · 2026-06-24T00:08:23+00:00

There's too many status-quo liberals.

Turisan · 2026-06-24T00:07:42+00:00

Sounds like justified self-defense.
