Best to get the protests in before January, when Trump will send the military after them and start locking people up.

I forgot about the rolling abduction sedans full of us marshalls during BLM riots.

I didn't. That shit was a big part of why I armed up and stay that way.

My father has an AR, I only own a little 22 plinker. He keeps telling me that “he will have things covered”

Fuck that.

I’m going to go get my own.

I’m getting my first firearm in 2 decades this weekend. I would hope that most left leaning folk will, cause the right damn sure isn’t going to listen to picket signs. I live in a deep red state (been here my entire life) and this election emboldened these shitheads to get even more terrible. My own father texted me some vile shit on Election Day. I honestly didn’t even know he was that MAGA until then, and he just started vomiting vitriol into his phone like we didn’t know each other. Crazy times ahead.

Good call. Best to get some training too.

My dad is ex Nat guard, served in Iraq while my mother was in labor, I didn’t know my dad for the first 9-10 months of my life.

I know he would gladly train me. My main concern now is just cost. Being in college doesn’t really give you a lot of wiggle room.

Anything is better than nothing. Buy a Taurus G3 and trade it for something better later.

I’m planning on going all out. I already have some decent experience, so I’d rather get something I’m already use too and has unlimited customization potential. I was taught on the AR platform for rifles and the CZ platform for handguns, so that’s what I’m going to use.

Yeah. I'm just saying. You mentioned a financial issue. You can be armed the whole time you are saving for the big gear for about $225.

Ask him for recommendations. He might know a guy who knows a guy

Please, please get that training. A weapon without training isn't worth much.

That AR isn’t going to do anything to a hellfire missile fired from a drone.
