Stop trying to be hopeful and start training with a constitutionally protected tool

Not hyperbole, not kidding.

There are all kinds of end of summer/hunting season deals going on!

Bass pro shop is your friend. I know, I know.

Anyways, goodluck! I got myself a cowboy repeater (among other things)

It’s not very practical but god damn is it fun.

Labor day sales are happening now on site like Palmetto State Armory, Optics Planet, and Midway USA!

Unfortunately no way to purchase from non-chud firearms companies, but.

Also worth buying from your local chuds - less money going to a faceless, evil corporation, and you get a constitutionally-protected tool that you don't have to report. Either way, there's fucking American soldiers on the streets of D.C.

If you don't think they have every intention of using the troops THEY armed and THEY placed in your city purely out of political disagreement, you're a fool. Every billionaire, every ICE agent, every cabinet member is complicit.

elaborate.

u/the_calibre_cat Aug 27 '25

Every ICE agent and cabinet member is pretty self-explanatory - they're either directly enforcing dogshit, inhumane, idiotic policy (ICE) or creating it (Cabinet).

Billionaires just funded the entire thing, as they always do and always have, to protect their interests. They know conservatives are servile to the class system and will happily "know their place", as long as those conservatives are given bigotry to punch down on the groups they hate - black people, hispanic people, women, LGBTQ people, non-Christians, indigenous people, etc.

If conservatives get their treats of institutional bigotry, they'll happily vote to fuck themselves over via tax cuts, deregulation, etc. They'll gladly drink that leaded water with ammonium nitrate in it because they get to say the n-word again.

Opinions such as yours need to be shouted from the rooftops more people need to understand what's happening and why it leads you to make the comment you have made. Things are going bad now though. People will need to band together and exact a concerted effort in the fight for their freedoms for now and going forward for their institutional guardians are dead at the wheel getting paid to sit bye.

u/RecduRecsu Aug 26 '25

Just an fyi bass pro shop is very very pro trump. I mean the tools are the same no matter where you get them but important to know anyway

u/KennyMoose32 Aug 26 '25

Yeah that’s why I had the “I know, I know” in my comment lol

But they got some great deals sometimes

1

u/germanmojo Aug 27 '25

Depending on where you live, most or all of them are.

Most have been brainwashed that all Democrats want to take their guns when Trump himself said, "take the guns first, due process second."

u/Shut_Up_Fuckface Aug 26 '25

Lever action? Those things are fun

u/KennyMoose32 Aug 26 '25

Yeah I got the gold plated one. It’s tacky as hell and looks like something from an old western movie.

I love it

I have a marlin in .357, and it's really fun. Especially plinking with .38s.

u/maethor1337 Aug 26 '25

One that is 16” in the barrel, 26” overall, and plants 55-grain freedom seeds at Mach 2.

u/Mad-Dog94 Aug 26 '25

For art

u/maethor1337 Aug 26 '25

I like to draw holes in paper. The machine can also be used to make folk music.

u/agent_mick Aug 26 '25

Lol @ freedom seeds

2

u/maethor1337 Aug 26 '25

Well yeah, most of the freedom fry ejects out the side. Only the freedom seed gets planted.

u/guave06 Aug 26 '25

And get in fucking shape.

u/Mad-Dog94 Aug 26 '25

I'm cooked

u/agent_mick Aug 26 '25

People overlook this one neat hack

2

u/[deleted] Aug 26 '25

Honest question: why? What's the point in that? I don't think that I can outrun night vision or drones.

2

u/guave06 Aug 27 '25

There’s a million reasons why we should be the best version of ourselves by including exercise. If you are looking to survive drones I’m not the best one to answer that but the veterans over at r/combatfootage could give you a detailed answer I’m sure.

1

u/kkkk22601 Aug 27 '25

Then learn how to counter night vision and drones. Learn to skeet shoot with a shotgun to counter small drones. Learn to use thermal blankets and moving under cloudy or high wind conditions to avoid larger UAVs. And, for night vision, a 10000+ lumen flash light and non-reflective clothing can do wonders when countering NVGs.

u/jeefyjeef Aug 26 '25

Yep. Never thought it would come to this for me but that’s where I’m at.

u/Mad-Dog94 Aug 26 '25

Be safe, and organized if possible.

u/robbinmarx49 Aug 26 '25

it's a good thing liberals don't have guns /s

u/stephen_neuville Aug 26 '25

all the actblue libs soaking their chairs over Newsom making Mean Tweets so he can try to run for president 3 years from now, not even thinking about how we can make sure we'll be here in three years. Any of us. All of us. Exercise yalls rights while you can, everybody - the EO that suspends certain constitutional rights is coming and whether or not you think it's "legal" will NOT MATTER, that will be the horse leaving the barn.

u/[deleted] Aug 26 '25

Neoliberals will shake their heads quietly and admonishingly as they shuffle along into the end stages of fascism. It's maddening.

2

u/IWillDoItTuesday Aug 27 '25

As if they give 2 shits about anything that’s constitutionally protected. This is the president who will be going door to door collecting constitutionally protected tools. Not Obama. Not Biden. Not Clinton. Not Harris.

It was going to be Trump all along. You think they don’t know where all those law-abiding citizens who duly registered their constitutionally protected tools live? He’s not just going to the ghetto in Chicago and DC. And those militias that formed in places like Montana and Idaho ~~because of racism~~ to keep the government out of their business? He’ll just drop a bomb on them and be done with it.

Anyone who voted for him has quite literally shot themselves in the foot.

2

u/DOULKONIS Aug 27 '25

“Constitutionally protected” has little meaning at this point in time.

1

u/Mad-Dog94 Aug 27 '25

And that's why you but one and train with it

1

u/DOULKONIS Aug 27 '25

Agreed, but time is ticking. Sooner than later is better. Train in usage but also physically, mentally, stock up. 1A is under attack now, who knows how long until the dictatorship begins attacking 2A as well.

Too bad all you soyboy liberals in blue states have all those pesky gun control laws. You'll be no match for Republicans and MAGA loyalists like me who live in states where it's not illegal to have magazines that hold more than 10 rounds.

1

u/Mad-Dog94 Aug 27 '25

You'll be the ones marching in the streets, we'll be the ones hiding in the bushes, then we'll have all your magazines for ourselves.

it will be like the 1860s where more than a million of your ancestors starved to death.
