Some in the libertarian frame of mind do not understand that border patrol has long had the right to stop you based on reasonable suspicion that just can't be a hunch. You might win out in court if they don't have reasonable suspicion but there isn't a judge out there to protect you in the moment. If they pulled me over, I would just give my drivers license or whatever they ask for. It sucks but it gets you moving in the right direction ASAP.

I imagine him driving the country in his RV, intently studying the rules of every new campground, searching for some ambiguity so that he can provoke an event to create a reason to file another lawsuit.

Always love this stuff. Even the ones who think they're reasonable are just saying "come on man I just want to pay less while getting more in return."

The silver lining if SCOTUS overturns Obergfell is that this thread is really gonna fucking take off

At some point, a ‘Mussolini and the partisan’s’ ending might become more likely.   At some point, there are lines in the sand that people will not abide.  Truthfully, it doesn’t make any difference whether the line in the sand is an objectively reasonable one or not, or if many people support the thing others despise.  The only thing that matters is if a person goes Defcon 8 over a particular issue.   That’s when abortion clinics got bombed, historically.  While that issue didn’t move me to act, it convinced some very unhappy people to take action. When people lose their healthcare and access to hospitals - and watch their loved ones die - some people just might get salty about that.   Luigi out front should’ve told you.

Right now we are a deeply divided nation.  We are also a deeply divided nation with 1.2 firearms per citizen.   Instead of torches, the angry villagers have guns.   When people offer up the Nazi Germany example, that knee bending was not done in a nation with more firearms per capita than people.

The nutcases with guns all voted for Trump* and are still in desperate confirmation bias mode.

They don't provide the raw numbers, which is unfortunate, because I think it would be less disturbing (there should be more Dem/lean Dem Americans than Rep/lean Rep), but according to Pew research it's a 55/31 split on gun ownership:

Correct. But it’s a damned near 100/0 split on nutcases. So my point still holds.

The Luftwaffe had 2700 aircraft to the Brits' 750 aircraft.  The Luftwaffe also brought a toxic stew of fascist arrogance to the game.  The RAF ended up with nearly a 2:1 kill ratio.  I'm feeling better about these parallels.

Until April of 2024, it had been decades since I owned a gun.   I now have 4. 

Come and take it.

I'm in the market.  I don't know what's the best product for the average novice is, though.  I will definitely get training.

shotgun or .22 or both. don't bother with big, power handguns unless you plan to spend a lot of time at a range

Meh.  Just took my new .45 1911 out to the range for the first time.  The boy and I each cycled several mags through it.  Pretty damned foolproof.  Sure, it throws some thunder, but nothing you can't handle once you get the hang of it after 3-4 rounds.

But yeah, I usually advise newbies to get a shotgun and a revolver in something like .38 (even more foolproof than an auto).

Find a range that has rentals.  I probably shot 25-30 different 9mm handguns before I decided on what I wanted.   This also meant that I got to shoot several pistol caliber carbines and regular rifles too.  

I dont carry and just wanted something that was easy to shoot so I went with a full size Walther PDP.  

16 months later and I have 2 handguns and 2 rifles.

Whatever I get, I will have to locker it away from the house for awhile.  It might be nonideal for home protection but our grandson lives with us and my wife would shit a brick if a gun was on site.  I'm not actually worried about home protection, anyway.  I just want to know how to shoot.  (I don't think my Crosman CO2 BB gun as a teenager really prepared me.)

if you're truly that novice then it's best to take a safety course. i think it should be required every few years, but that would require regulations. anywho, big difference between learning to shoot a particular weapon versus learning how to shoot in the first place

Just make sure the safety course is worth it vs. just ticking a box.   I never took one, but my buddy who was ex-military took one and felt like it was a complete waste of time.

That's kind of the point.  I know I know nothing.  I have some vague safety awareness but I'm happy to get proper training.  I would much prefer to not be a net negative.

I did that first as well.  Signed up at a range and we went through stuff before ever going out on the range.  I grew up shooting but it has been 25+ years since I last fired one.  The class was such a great reminder.

Not a terrible idea.

I just took two english girls shooting for the first time ever on Sunday.  Gave them the full safety lesson, started them on a single shot .22 bolt action, worked up to an autoloader and a revolver, then let them each shoot the .45.  But I was standing at arms length next to them at all times.  Never had to correct anything they did, but I was ready to, because until you've got some real education and practice in....yeah, you don't know a lot.

I vote for Ruger LCR IN .327.   

Wheel guns go “bang” without worrying you have the safety on - or forgot to rack a round into the chamber when things get exciting.

It shoots no/low recoil .32 short and long rounds -  .32 magnum rounds with a bit more oomph - and .327 hollow point wrist snappers that are a potent defense round.   IOW, it is a revolver that has a round for any shooter in the family to practice with without fear of recoil until they become comfortable with the next step up.   And the four round choices means that you’ll be able to find something to fire at the evil paper targets.

And if you need a handgun for protection, and don’t intend on going to the range, a Taurus judge fires a .410 shell full of tungsten goodies that will make an intruder unhappy they did not leave - and accuracy is less of a problem, it being shotgun-ish.

Low/no recoil with a 1.87" barrel?  And MSRP is ~$850 but you can find it on sale for ~$600.  Nevermind that fact that ammo prices for .327 and even .32 ACP  is outrageous compared to 9mm.  For $600 there is a plethora of better options.

Why would exmilitary need a class? ex Police and military in good standing should just clep out of it.

Civilians should prove in person they know how to clean, load, and handle a weapon safely before playing around with it. It should be a minimum requirement that would infringe upon no one’s rights.

shocker.  History is going to look back on this as a horrifying ethnic cleansing genocide and America just sat there and watched.

You mean shoveled weapons and ammo into the hands of the genociders while loudly and proudly reaffirming our murder-suicide pact with them at every opportunity. Standing by passively would be a hundred thousand times more defensible.

He was air force, qualified with the Beretta but hadn't really used one.  He thought they might give him more tips since it had been a while.   Funny thing is that I breezed through the gun range's "test" (for a rental) without having any prior knowledge or experience really.  Don't necessarily disagree on having the last sentence.  However, if they asked me to load it, in the store, I would have told them to fuck off though.

Yeah it's basically like if the US was smuggling fucktons of Zyklon B to the Nazis.
