Anons who live in free countries that trust you enough to let you defend yourself... what do you carry daily? Pic related for me. I know it's kinda large for CCW but it fits my hand and I shoot it well.

Britfags need not enter. Strap on your government-issued safety helmets and return to your padded rooms. Walk, don't run.

Put an Apex Flat face trigger on that PPQ. As much as I love mine (I have 3 of them, 4" 9mm, 5" 9mm, and the .45) the apex trigger improves the guns considerably.

I carry the 4" in 9mm as my EDC.

the US ranks 19th out of 19 countries evaluated on preventing deaths that are amenable to adequate health care, an excellent measure of the overall performance of a country’s health care system.

So... the worst healthcare system of the major developed countries.

Australians pay 1% tax for free healthcare.
average wage of $50,000/annum.

So some poor chain smokers get "free" cancer treatment in shitty socialist healthcare facilities. "Wow look at this preventable death we prevented. According to our study here that means we have better healthcare."

Nah, everyone knows that healthcare quality in the US is the best in the world. That's why rich people always travel here for treatment. Go find me a "study" that isn't based around accessibility and then we'll talk.

and while youre not totally wrong about prohibition not working. ITS NOT LIKE WHEN YOU HEAR ABOUT CRIMINALS WITH GUNS ON THE NEWS YOU RUN OUT INTO THE STREET WITH YOUR NEIGHBORS WITH ALL YOUR GUNS LIKE "LETS GO GET EM FELLAS!"

youre not a militia and have never been apart of one. even if youre in a group like the nra and lie to yourself like you are, youve never went out with the intent to stop crime. you call the police just like everyone else. so if guns were to be had because it was necessary to stop crime it should still be restricted to the proper authorities.

>>703096021

It says a well-regulated militia is necessary for a free state. That means something to check the power of government.

"The right to..." is meant provide the conditions for which a militia can exist. You cannot have a militia unless you have armed citizens, therefore citizens must have the right to be armed. Since it is meant to be a check on government power this militia must not be of the government i.e. the national guard is not the militia.

30k is high but you would need at least 15-20k for a true "assault rifle" and a class 3 license for full auto, which means $200 tax stamp.

We do really. If you are employed, then your employer provides healthcare. If you are poor, then the government provides your healthcare. And the government provides education all the way through high school. And if you put in the work, i.e. earn it, you can easily rack up many scholarships and get through college for free. There's even more opportunities for that if you are a minority. Get mad.

No dipshit. You give him your wallet and phone. If your life is actually threatened and you feel strongly that he's going to kill or maim you, then you quickly pull out your gun (that he doesn't know you're carrying) and dump the mag into his chest.

You would die if you did nothing, so at least you have a chance to live even if he shoots you as well.

>So let's imagine I'm getting robbed, the guy has a gun. Am I supposed to pull out my preferred self defense weapon and attack? Do you think the guy will freeze and run away? For god's sake

Depends on the situation. Are we talking a burglarizing of your house? Out in the streets and a guy approaches you only with gun drawn?

If the first: It's your house and you know it well. If he isn't in your room you have the ability to use your knowledge of your house and the element of surprise to your advantage and shoot the robber.

If the second: You do whatever you think will work. I've seen people try to hand their wallets to the person and drop it and when the robber tries to bend down to pick it up they draw on them and blast them. I've seen situations where there are multiple people being robbed at the same time so as soon as they fixate on another person you draw and shoot. You could just hand over your shit and hope he doesn't shoot you and when he gets ready to haul ass pull our your piece and go.

Meanwhile, anyone with a reasonable grasp of chemistry can walk into a grocery store, spend less than $100, and drop a two story building full of people.
FACT:
Assault rifles will not protect you from the government. You've lost that fight already. It wouldn't even protect you from the Dallas bomb squad robot let alone drone strikes, missiles, bombers, etc.
FACT:
If you want to commit premeditated murder, you're better off blowing them up than shooting them. Less chance of resuscitation, less margin for error, no need to be anywhere near your victim when it goes off.
FACT:
A stockpile of guns and ammunition is just more loot for thieves to steal if you're not home to defend it, and you can't be home all the time.

Conclusion:
Guns protect you from *stupid* criminals, but not good ones, and let you *think* you have a chance against the government when you really don't. Want true strength? Learn chemistry.

There is no point to fighting if you can't win. There is no point fo fighting if you can win without a fight.

Should a government become tyrannical should someone not fight and die for something they feel is just and instead give up because the opposition seems too powerful?

>I suppose you think it would be better to give up, right?
What part of "learn to build bombs" did you erroneously interpret as "give up"?
The fucktard in the image was saying to fight uselessly when you know you can't win. I'm saying to learn a better way to fight because a safe full of guns isn't enough anymore.
I"m not saying "don't fight at all", I'm saying "don't fight at a disadvantage when you can mine the route ahead of time instead".

The term 1st 2nd and 3rd world were terms made in the Cold War. Anyone who was allied with the US were first world, anyone with Russia was second world. The third world is anyone who didn't choose a side, like Switzerland.

So apparently you DO have a reason other than racism. And yet, you refuse to mention it, therefore allowing my accusation to stand. If you want me to believe you're not racist, you're not doing very well.

Also implying whole sections of the military wouldn't just say fuck Obama. Whole bases would essentially be opposition forces. Not to mention the national guard bases that consider themselves "the militia" to fight govt tyranny

It's pretty common knowledge that the majority of the military is right wing rednecks, all that would happen in a civil war is that the military would be split in half, distributing heavy weapons among rebels the same as the government. Having an armed populace means the defectors from the armed forces have less work to do.

Yes I have do have reasons. They *could* be racist, they could not be. You won't know because I don't have to justify shit and I don't care what you think. I thought I already made that clear.

No, you find other ways to fight. Like strikes, underground media, civil disobedience. Worked for Gandhi.

eventually, after all of the nukes drop and the civilized world ends, ammunition stops being mass produced and dries up, these will be the only thing still working, because it's not difficult to make black powder and melt lead...besides archery/ballista based weapons...that will suck big time...

Best thing about Americans owning guns is that they can then go and shoot themselves - stupid cunts.

Let me dumb this down for you one last time.
In a purely hypothetical situation (I'm quite happy with my life and do not believe the gubment is out to get me) someone hands each of us $15,000 and says "do as much damage as possible".
You will buy an assault rifle and go on a shooting spree.
I will spend a few days doing SCIENCE and then simultaneously collapse several large office buildings, and I"ll be miles away when it happens.
Get it?
guns=weak
CHEMISTRY=STRONG
>then at some point you can't contine
(btw your gun will run out of bullets eventually. i can make more thermite at any junkyard and far more easily than you can make more bullets for your assault rifle. just saiyan)
