Apropos of nothing, have you seen the prices of handguns these days? Even the parts for a 3D printed one can run you $900, easy. Fucking ridiculous out here.

You can get a used glock for ~$400 USD.

Do you ship to the UK. /s

Yet getting hernia corrected is $16,000. $900 barely pays the rent for a month anywhere in the country.

When the cost of living is so high the cost of dying needs to be levied on the ones responsible.

Doesn’t every county Texas hand one out to you as a coming of age gift when you turn 18? Or was the cartoon I watched as a kid lying.

I believe you can get a free gun with food stamps in Alaska for hunting

Give a man food and he'll have food for one day. Give a man a gun and he can feed himself his whole life.

Holy shit really? I could get a pistol for 400€. Is there some kind of monopoly stuff going on that tries to reserve weapons for the rich?

Edit: did a quick search and found one a lightly used one for 130€

I have no idea what the guy is talking about. Hi-points are under like 200$, and thats a complete pistol. It ain't luxurious but it shoots.
