Stay strapped or get clapped...

It feels like they picked the worst screenshot intentionally though when talking about that YouTuber...

Like, maybe it's a new kind of magnifier that you flip up to use instead of off to the side to not use. But that AR just doesn't look like whoever built it knew what they were doing.

Like the BLM protests where it was obvious people went out and bought ARs just for the event and didn't even put sights on beforehand.

That being said don't wander around gun YouTube on your account it only takes a couple videos for the algorithm to decide you're a gun nut, and that comes along with a bunch of other rightwing videos, because normally it does.

But Reagan is the one who passed Cali's gun laws, and he did so because people he didn't like were marching with guns.

Obviously it would have made more sense to start when Biden was in office, but it seems like unless protestors carry guns, the cops will just beat them without a second thought.

If they even think some have guns tho... Cops won't do shit.

If cops get return fire in a (leftist) protest/riot, they'll come back with MRAPs and live rounds and re-enact Kent State. They live for that moment.

Oh, and that magnifier is on a Unity FAST mount, and yes, it flips up to get in position. It's on a higher sight plane along with the Eotech to help with shooting while using things like night vision goggles, and a lot of people say it's more natural and comfortable for fast shooting in general. It's actually some Gucci shit and looks squared away to me.

ah i see Aleksandr Dugin's book is coming along as he planned.

Good. Gun rights are human rights. All people have the right to defend themselves and those around them. Taking that away by banning the only tool that evens the playing field is not OK.

Just ignore all the dead kids. They're not part of this discussion.

There is going to be a lot more dead minority and marginalised people if they don't make it possibly lethal to fuck with them.

Own a corporation that owns all of your property. Have many guns. It's the American way.
