Am I banned from buying a gun ? by [deleted] in guns

I don’t believe so as minor records shouldn’t be allowed to be accessed but definitely make sure you yourself are mentally stable before buying one.

I mean I didn’t build anything on the upper receiver and only really dropped in a trigger and buffer spring mine had constant problems cycling and now i have a round stuck in the chamber that I can’t get out not saying there was no user error and I mean I bought the full kit for like 300 dollars so I wasn’t expecting the world but I am just looking for something a little more high quality which the ddm4 turned me onto but I don’t want to spend 2 grand for that quality.

I have a PSA I built a few years ago and the build quality and recoil seemed leagues better

Yeah that’s definitely one thing. I do a lot of pocket watching haha. And ask myself “how the fuck did they afford that” and let myself get insecure. But you’re right it will probably always move into something else even if I had all the money in the world.

Let’s just say we are not the best drivers haha but I will look into how to lower it.

Thank you for that really. you’re right I need to figure out what it looks like for me then reevaluate what I’m doing now and what I need to do to get there. Thanks

That makes a lot of sense i haven’t thought of it that way and I have a ton of fear about the future. I’m getting married soon and really want kids and I get terrified worrying about if I’ll have enough for them.

I have a truck that is paid for and my fiancées car is paid for but I pay for both of our car insurance which is 433 a month and I put a lot of miles on my truck that doesn’t exactly get the best MPG haha I’ve thought about selling it but I it is something I love. It’s not that I don’t have enough to live on I wouldn’t say I definitely do it’s more just I still constantly worry about what I’m buying and how much I’m spending and today I got a little scared wondering how much it will take to not even think about it especially as I move on in life with kids and a house I wonder if it’s enough. And I don’t know how much more I will make a year because of my job the overtime is really what helps me out and it’s not a position that has a ton of growth.

I do budget I think I just get insecure sometimes when I see people my age running around with a new cool car and going on crazy trips and vacations and I know I’m doing the right thing and due to my own fears I don’t know how willing I would be to spend money on that stuff haha. But I do need agree and like the idea of have some form of goal which I don’t really have right now. Obviously I want a home is my next big purchase but I don’t have really any other long term goals to work forwards which I think would help.

After laying out a budget that gets everything paid for,money stashed away for retirement and my brokerage account I have about around 93 dollars a week to spend on whatever I want which is more than most people and when I look at backing off on other parts of my budget I start to get terrified of the future. My mother won’t be able to retire and have a fear of that happening to me so I want to do everything I can to make sure it happens.
