Can anyone tell me what this

is, because it looks like it could be a phased plasma rifle in the 40-watt range.

Looks about right to me!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago

100% correct. That's a keltec shotgun with double tubes so it can hold 15 plus rounds.

Keltec probably, their engineers are powered entirely by blow.

Real talk, you can go buy a gun today and you probably should (maybe not and maybe not today). It's twenty minutes. Then sign up for some how tos, probably at the place you bought it from and take a few classes. Shoot until you get a good feel for it, then plan to shoot every now and then or as often as you want.

Yes, it's a terrible industry run my terrible people. No you're not John Wick, but fascist need speed bumps, and the police don't care about you at best.

as someone who lives in canada this is surreal

If you’re encouraging responsible ownership the very first step is secure storage.

A gun safe and a separate ammo safe.

That is the absolute first step to ensuring there are no accidental discharges. Most people are shot with their own gun, in their own home, by themselves or a family member.

Yep! I'm planning on purchasing a firearm in the next year. But I'm moving first so rather than move safes and firearms across state lines I'm waiting. Because there's little in life that's dumber than leaving around an expensive weapon that's serial number is tied to your name

The eternal internal conflict of buying a gun to oppose fascism and not buying a gun because of mental health 🙃

You have a couple of options:

First, get the gun, but before that, line up a "firing pin buddy" who can keep parts to make sure your firearms cannot fire. You give the person your firing pins when needed, or they feel they need to.

Or, don't get a gun, and git gud at other valuable skills. First aid, mutual aid networking, etc etc. Also, pepper gel is decent enough for self defense. Also, cane fighting skills work well, and a lot of self defense cases exist, for example.

A third option is to train with a gun buddy and buy one when you feel it is definitely needed. no major financial burden, and you get firearms training.

And another good option!

Can't tell if it's satire or not, so I'm vascilating between hilarious and terrifying. Hilarifying, if you will. Terrarious if you're adventurous.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Dan Hentschel is a prolific satirist.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Thanks for clearing that up! Hilarious it is!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago

Terrarious is the feeling Terraria bosses give me. They're so fucked up and so stupid looking, especially the hell wall boss.

Cocky want boing boing

He found the gun store from gtav.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago

There was a local gun store in my home town that looked like this.

I don't think I've ever heard that turn of phrase before. But now I'm gonna start referring to all my buddies across the pond as UKian 😋

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago

Good. This acronym-as-country-name thing is a bad habit that needs to be discouraged at every turn.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 week ago (12 children)

Presumably the guy was trying to buy a gun while dressed as the joker, but the shopkeep turned him down.
