    I’m not American, but as an outsider this is what I feel the second amendment was really for ✊

      • That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security

      It literally specifies in our constitution that we have the second amendment to protect ourselves from our own tyrannical government. This type of thing is exactly what it’s for.

      It’s really not great advice, though. 5.56 is very accurate and for the average person would be a better choice than a semi auto shotgun.

              see my other comment in this thread about slugs or shot as part of a communal collective presentation of face. ideally your crew has mostly 5.56 with one person with slugs. they all have their use, but you should be defaulting to 5.56

                personally i lust after the .338 so the semi-auto shotty also speaks to me. i understand the practicality of having something that you can move, aim, and afford to shoot, but something about the big boom booms just draws me.

          Yeah but it’s improperly worn most of the time. Most of them have basic ass gun range beginner shooting stances that expose their unprotected sides to who they’re facing (You’re supposed aim with your chest square with the target when wearing armor)

          Even with billions of dollars on hand they’re still too cheap to get ++size armor and carriers for their extra big boys. Some of them are wearing plates that are pushed out to a 45 degree angle by their freakishly large beer bellies LMFAO Enjoy those copper jackets that’ll lodge in your cerebellum after severing your carotid arteries you worthless Nazi fuck.

        when dealing with ice a semi auto shotgun has a useful purpose: knock em back without killing. but i will point out the man with the shotgun was bracketed by a man holding a 7.62 and a man carrying a 5.56. there’s clearly more consideration and coordination going on here. you’re absolutely right about what’s best for the average person, who i presume is not yet a member of a community defense group, but once you’re in a community defense group, take a listen to what the whole group needs more of.

      He said if you are going to legally arm yourself. I can get where you heard otherwise, though.

          Fair but if you’re going to be open carrying firearms, it’s best that you acquire them legally or it’s one more thing to worry about

              If you’re a felon and someone who knows that notices you in public with a rifle it would be bad news bears for you.

                Honestly at this point what’s left to lose? The result is the same, just on a different timescale.

                Edit: being a felon isn’t the only way to illegally arm yourself.

                  I mean, I won’t encourage people to break or not break the law. Yall do you. But Felon was the example I was speaking of. I’m sure there’s others.

        I imagine you heard about the MOVE bombing once and assumed most Philadelphia residents supported and still support it.

        Look up a racial demographic survey for Philadelphia sometime.

          That is indeed only your imagination, I hear people mention how racist they still are.
          And that’s a feat in a generally racist shithole.

          Look up a racial demographic survey for Philadelphia sometime.

          The fact that there is more or less diversity in a place says nothing about how racist they are.
          That is a ridiculous argument.

        The former Philadelphia eagles stadium had a jail in it because fans would get so drunk and rowdy. They have to grease the light poles when the eagles win a super bowl to prevent people from climbing them. Eagles fans put batteries into snowballs and threw them at Santa during the Christmas parade. Don’t ever fuck with anyone from Philly.

          IDC about your silly gay rugby or their teams.
          Bring them to any country that has real football ⚽ and let them fight hooligans.
          They will get absolutely butchered.

      so elated to see this. I reference this more often than I’d like to admit and it’s often a bombing reference/joke but I’ll die on the black panther party hill

      I’m not a smart man but I know what a good black panther party is…
