    Imagine how corrupt this nation is going to be at the end of 4 years.

    We’re going to make Russia look like amateurs.

    Arm yourselves.

      You can build an AR-15 for under $500. Cheap 9mm pistols can be under $300.

      Edit: A 22LR rifle can be gotten for $200. Might not have the stopping power, but it’ll make someone’s priorities change when they get plinked by it. Four round pump action 12GA shotgun can be had for ~$250.

        My dad has a 22LR that kicks like a mule, and you can take down a deer from a good distance. Those are nothing to sneeze at.

        Loud motherfucker too lol.

              You’re good, .308 kicks decently well, not to bad, but 30-06 is probably what it was. Especially if it’s bolt action.

                Yeah, it’s bolt action. The 22LR and the .30-06 are both bolt action, so I got the two mixed up. We go up to his cabin in Maine and get in some shooting from time to time. The fun one is the .50 traditional muzzleloader. We did timed shoots to see who’s the fastest to load and shoot. Fun times. Found out my wife is a damned good shot when we were flinging clay pigeons, lol.

          22 rounds are really good for headshots, because they don’t have enough energy to go all the way through both sides of the skull. The bullet just bounces around inside the head.

          Kick? Loud? [X] Doubt

            My bad. The more I thought of it, I think I was thinking of the .308 or the .30-06.

            He has also got an ancient double barrel shot gun from the 1920s.

            22lr will not bounce around, shits a myth.

                There are a ton of videos out there like that. It’s %100 a myth from anti-2a idiots and FUDDs who think they know firearms. 22lr has very little energy vs pretty much anything else, no way it or any other round is “bouncing around” it’s basic physics to know this.

                  Still, it’s interesting to see that the rounds didn’t penetrate the back of the skull. Even if it didn’t “bounce around,” I’d bet that the bullet was more likely to tumble through the tissue. Plus, hot bullet in your skull as a treat.

            Yeah I’m trying to figure out what rifle old boy mistakenly thought was a 22? .243 or .270 perhaps?

    “Patel was confirmed in a 51-49 vote. Two Republicans, Sens. Susan Collins (Maine) and Lisa Murkowski (Alaska), voted against confirmation.”

      Susan Collins will vote against her party as long as the Republicans have enough votes without her. She is trash and has no principles.

      she only does this when her party has a safe majority votes, and mostly negotiated with the gop prior.
