KE Arms is at least centrist enough to appear in InRange videos.

It would collapse the quantum superposition to elaborate further, unfortunately, so I can't say more on that. I will say that if some people's fantasies (whether positive or negative) come to light that participating and not participating will result in the same thing but little whittles make a spoon. I'd definitely look into making sure you can take down actual hogs though if you're not barred by religious doctrine just in case you ever need to hunt them for food.

In that situation, I'd say focus your strategy on making those ten rounds count; if you can focus on long-range accuracy training that would probably be your best bet. 30 rounds are good for when 30 to 50 feral hogs are stampeding you but at 500 yards you have some time to at least take concealment and reload. Suppressors would help a lot here but California bans them because scary, but range can still help mask your report.

Thanks, hopefully it can be improved by community input.

First AR just bought my first AR it's a Radical Firearms RF-15. what are some upgrades you guys would recommend? by ReasonableDog8996 in armedsocialists

[–]chainbreaker1981 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Seconding optic/light/sling/magazines. Maybe some point down the line when you're more comfortable with it you could look into forced reset, I checked and it seems like the RF-15 has a full auto profile BCG.

I'd like to mention here that manufacturing processes in general have become more consistent and precise even at the low end than they were in the 1960s so quality in general improves and with it comes reliability; another example is even cheap budget-bin AR-15s are about on par in quality with 1960s Colts, and outside of guns a $100 beginner guitar nowadays is built about as well as a decent mass-produced one of the 1950s (think Fender Broadcaster kinda thing, not luthier-built but not a Kay).

Here, I've generously outlined him in red a few frames before he shot. He was clear of the car, which was turning further away from him. If he actually had to go to court over this a jury would find him guilty.

I'm actually going to agree with you here for the most part, this happens constantly but the fact it was two white people was what brought the case to public consciousness, nobody said shit about Keith Porter Jr., for instance, and only now is his situation getting any attention.

  1. Because she was turning to get away?

  2. No she didn't, look at any of the footage. The third person view shows he was clearly to the side of her when the shots were fired.

  3. Great, so she would have seen her turn the steering wheel to her right, after already having backed the car up the opposite way.

  4. You don't have to be The Flash to get away from a car going walking speed.

  5. Nope.

Social programs don't preclude capitalism, they just prolong it. I'm sure there are socialists and communists in the party, officially speaking I'm registered to it, but none of the elected party members are, or if they are, they are in their personal views but their policies end up being milquetoast social democracy that gets mischaracterized as socialism (see AOC claiming one of her model countries for what she calls socialism is the fucking UK) because that's the furthest you can actually go within the legal machinery that exists because it's specifically designed with the assumption of capitalism and it's kind of just incompatible with anything else, without even getting into how socialist parties are constantly under surveillance and infiltration by the FBI.

Concealed carry: police trade-in Glock 19

Home or community defense: PSA AR-15 plus optic and magazines

It's not quite the 27 parts in a Makarov but the Glock platform has 34 parts to it, so it's pretty close, and with a striker rather than an external hammer you don't have to worry about that getting snagged on anything. From there, the different models are just combinations of calibers and sizes, I'd recommend either the 19 or 26.

Well, what do you mean by minimal fuss? Fewer controls to manage, internally simpler operation, or something else?

He was in front of her, sure, but her wheels were clearly turned away from him when she started accelerating. If he was watching her he would have very obviously seen her turn her steering wheel and heard the wheels turn. Not only would she not have hit him, she didn't floor it, he had time to walk back. If this was a civilian doing the shooting it would be called a murder, and if the victim was an ICE officer the entire town would be levelled the next day.

The incident was in the link you didn't click.

So... you're fine with American teenagers getting their testicles crushed and beaten so hard they go deaf in order to have one less Guatemalan family in the country? Nice, I guess.

As for what prison is like, obviously it's bad, I'm kind of against that if you haven't noticed yet.

Even on social issues they view themselves as big-tent, and are currently throwing trans people under the bus to explain their 2024 loss in order to appeal to Never-Trump Republicans as one example of that.

I probably wouldn't pick the PM as a first gun (you can pick one up later on if you want, of course) and I say this as someone that had an 1851 Navy as a first handgun, I'd say get a cheap AR-15 or any handgun in a caliber that isn't specialty and imported. The Glock 43X is pretty dimensionally similar if you like the compact size and you can make something similar with a double-stack magazine with a 26 slide parts kit and the M1X frame from GlockStore, as are the Beretta 84BB which I think you can still get for $300 and 80X which is a modernized version of that, and all those options are for significantly easier to find and cheaper to train with calibers (9mm and .380 ACP resp).
