If you're also in CAGuns you may have seen a self-identified woman ask where to find other woman/leftists gun owners to shoot with. Holy shit balls. The top comments where all essentially "why don't you feel safe shooting with me", "you should feel safe shooting with me" and "if you're not shooting with me you're wrong". Wow. I recommended this group and Pink Pistols and tried to defend/acknowledge their valuable question and was downvoted to holy hell.
Just because they're in CA doesn't mean they're liberal/socialist or your friends. Stay strapped comrades and thank you for being a safe haven.

got one for christmas, seems nice and feels good in the hand but if its as unreliable as people say I guess I'll sell it for something else

May your bellies and your magazines be full this holiday season

At this point the frog is boiling while cascading down the slippery slope.

Picked this guy up a couple years ago for $100 at a gun show! Probably the coolest gun in my collection!

Every morning, while lying in my bed, I wake up to the sound of four young girls, no older than nine, singing some sorrowful, painful words with an innocent, childlike melody and beautiful voices full of purity.

Today, they stood at the door of my tent and started singing the same words. I opened the tent door and found them looking at me. I called them over and asked whose words these were. They said, “We wrote them, and we have a paper with the words written on it. We know you can help us make our voices heard everywhere.”

I was amazed by their courage, innocence, and the beauty of their spirits—Hala, Mirna, Lana, and Tala.

By chance, a well-known Palestinian teacher and composer named Mohammed Shakhsa is staying with us in the same school. I took the girls to him, and he promised to compose a melody for them and record a video of their song.The lyrics: “My heart aches from the wars and destruction Gaza, oh world, is living under siege Killing, death, and hunger sum up my life

I once dreamed we’d have a port and an airport That I could travel the world and ride a train My dream is to live like others, happy and free

But my hair turned gray from the wars and destruction Gaza, oh world, is living under siege Killing, death, and hunger sum up our lives.”

Tis not meme Monday, but it doesn't matter because tonight is the night that you'll get a visit from old Saint Brown. He's friends with old Saint Nick our comrade dressed in red from the far North.

It's a quite night not a fox News host is snorting and not even is a Healthcare CEO is dealing. It's time for you to close your eyes (but when you shoot remember both eyes open). For when you wake in the morning old Saint Brown will be gifting you several hundred rounds of FMJ ammunition but he can give you soft point and hollow point too!

Sleep tight you dirty socialist (hey fuck off shit lib DNC this is my bed time story) amazing Comrades because next year we'll have the spirit of good old John Brown to guide us the way.

So I've been in the market for a Maryland legal AR for a while. Today I made the trek up near Baltimore with the intention of making that a reality since most of the places near me are openly MAGA fascists.

So I ended up coming home with a Sons of Liberty M4-89.

And then immediately regretted buying this particular rifle when I had 5 minutes to research them when I got home (based on a search of this sub). I know that with buying guns you end up likely buying from a company somewhere on the trash spectrum, but I'm kicking myself. Unfortunately the shop I went to didn't really say which brands they sold on their website, so doing my research ahead of time didn't happen.

I'll just make sure to do a better job moving forward. I got a set of flip up sights for today, but I'll figure out what else I plan on adding later.

I'm well aware that many of us are on budgets A Glock clone is an ideal gun for novice shooters.

It seems to have run well and it uses many Glock parts and there are versions with optic cuts as well. Most importantly it is under $300.

Also, if you aren't a Glock guy it is not a bad idea to have one knocking around in a safe just because rhey are so ubiquitous.

To the surprise of absolutely no one.

Estimates of defensive gun use vary depending on the questions asked, populations studied, timeframe, and other factors related to the design of studies. The report Priorities for Research to Reduce the Threat of Firearm-Related Violenceexternal icon indicates a range of 60,000 to 2.5 million defensive gun uses each year

How often are trans people using guns in self-defense?

Built 2 of these targets stands for less than $30. Here’s my instructions/measurements for one stand:

Materials: 1 • 2x4 1 • 2x2 Box of 2” screws Drill/driver

Instructions: You can custom cut this stand yourself with a small saw, or you can take these measurements to your local lowes (since Home Depot funded the tangerine tyrant's campaign). Minimal precision required for this build.

2x4 will be cut into 4 pieces, with 2 • 18” pieces (internal connection between legs) and 2 • 30” pieces (longer legs).

2x2 will act as the posts, holding targets. Cheap and easy to replace. 2x2 should be cut in half, into two 4' pieces. Two 1.5" portions (equal in length) should be cut off each 2x2 section and secured in the middle of the stand to hold the vertical posts in place. See picture and zoom in on the inside of the posts.

I elected not to screw the posts in place so that they are easily replaceable if they are damaged. Using these 1.5" stoppers keeps them secured while making them easily replaceable and allowing the stand to be broken down for easy transportation.

MAKE SURE YOU PRE-DRILL HOLES IN THE POST STOPPERS OTHERWISE YOU WILL SPLIT THE SMALL 2x2 SECTIONS.

I used blank yard signs and stapled them with thicker gauge staples to the posts to act as a back to clip targets to. Did not get a picture of them attached. This setup allows me to get the cheap cardboard/paper torso targets up to normal human height.

I saw an original post of this stand, but with no instructions so wanted to make sure I could help people with less woodworking sense. Hope this gives y’all an economical option to create multiple targets for training!
