  Meh…not really…most of us are stuck in the rat race or dying in state buildings. Don’t have time to fight gotta pay bills.

    Maybe the future brings Madmax style roving gangs, but you’re still expected to be at the office by 8.30.

      It’ll suddenly be remote everything again, and encouraged to not disrupt business. It’ll be like the Covid scion days.

  Where do people get the money to stock up on guns? They are friggin expensive.

  source

  • Leeks@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    You can get a shotgun for less then $100.

      My favorite for fucking around in the woods cost $125. I have several shotguns around that price range.

    You probably should plan to spend more then twice what the gun is worth. Ammo to train, ammo to have, extra mag or two.

    Not really… You can get a cheap pistol or a shotgun for $200-$300, solid reliable handguns start at ~$450 and you can get a military grade rifle for $800

    It’s not nothing, but it’s the same price range as most phones - if you want the fancy one with brand recognition you’ll pay twice as much, but you can get quality pretty cheap if you do your research

    There are a plethora of affordable options that are cheaper than a console or a nintendo switch nowadays.

    Hi-points aren’t fancy, but they’re reliable and cheap, you can pick up a 9mm pistol for around $200 or less.

    Farther up you’ve got PSA, where you could pick up a Dagger (glock clone) for $300 and an AR-15 for $399.

      Again where are people getting that sort of money?

      I saw a highpoint for $99 in a magazine around Xmas. They get stupid cheap if you wait

    What are you not American? They do not give you a rifle and a crate of ammo for your 18th birthday?

    • SoftestSapphic@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      Idk when i turned 18 i filed for my social security gun and they gave me an M4 with my Social Security # engraved on it.

      Sounds like he lost his lol

    3d printers are cheap.

    • jia_tan@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      You can’t 3d print entire (functional) guns, and the materials that you need to print the parts that you can are expensive as hell. You’ll end up spending more.

  the prepared citizen movement-----------------------Not around here in WNC. All the nuts have the guns and the people who I have talked to about getting armed and trained don’t want a gun. They are the ones who should be preparing.

  • AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    They don’t have to get a gun, they could get a pike and a trebuchet.

    What’s the point you’re trying to make?

      all you seem to post is what rich people want to say, and it brings down the vibe

• ThorrJo@lemmy.sdf.org ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

  Although purported interest has never been higher, all the soft white libs I know are still deep in their full-of-shit phase and not doing a single fucking thing to prepare. It’s only the far leftists and people in the center that are on the uptake thus far from my vantage point.

• BaroqueInMind@lemmy.one ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

  Read the article and everyone in those massive communities that train fire arms and survivalist are Republicans.

  None of you lefty/Democrats reading this comment own guns or are interested in training in large communities, so these Republicans will wipe you off the map. Prove me wrong, link me your large lefty gun group.

  • AllPintsNorth@lemm.ee ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    We don’t feel the need to broadcast it, or make it part of our personality.

    But don’t equate that to not knowing how or not owning them.

    • Carmakazi@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      I’m a left-leaning gun owner, and I don’t buy that. “We’re ready and organized…but we’re a super secret dark brotherhood so we can’t show you!” does not inspire confidence.

      For every one of us there are probably 6-12 MAGA zealots by my estimation (vibes-based, admittedly).

      No, I’m being serious, I want to join one nearby because I’m surrounded by dipshit MAGA Republicans like you.

    I’m left in Canada which is the US equivalent of a more left leaning Bernie Sanders. I’m a veteran, I have a rifle, and I support increased gun controls. Granted my rifle is hot pink so it’s not exactly combat ready.

      Greg, please keep a round loaded at all times, and continue training with it. Your lower neighbors are being dumb and it may slink its way up.

      Thank you, General Armchair. Do you have any more insightful tactical advice that you learned from your gamer chats that you can share over Signal with us?

      That group is pathetically small at barely 100k active users, there are almost over a million active in the other right wing gun communities. We are cooked.

  I wish the NY Times found a different group to highlight. These guys seem like they found an opportunity to make a buck. Surely there are other groups that are more organized and not trying to sell trinkets.
