Since the Buffalo and Uvalde shootings gave the deranged leftists a pretext to persecute gun owners I figured now is a good time buy an AR-15 that I've had my eye on. I went down and bought it today. The background check only took half an hour so I was able to bring it home today. I feel like I'm sticking it to the left and their mouthpieces in the media even though I just did something I would have done anyway. It's sort of like how every time you eat a steak you're implicitly spiting the vegan faggots. But I'm really pleased with my timing. I know there isn't much to discuss about this post, but I couldn't help but share. I'd encourage anyone looking to buy a gun (especially a semiautomatic rifle) to do so in the near future.

I've only got one handgun, and I keep it in a small safe. If I do decide on getting a rifle, I'd have to purchase an even larger safe, and I don't know if I want to go through that much hassle to lug a heavy safe around and find a place in my home for it.
But all this is making me think I need to spend another hour at the range. I haven't practiced in over a year now.
The whole firearms community can relate. I don't know a single gun owner who would say "Yeah, I get enough enough time on the range". I know an ex-marine who's always complaining about how little range time he gets.
How much is it?
Depends on the range. Last time I went, I think it was about $20 for the lane... but then $0.40 every time I squeezed the trigger, which is the real cost.
It still amazes me that people pay for lanes, but I suppose not everyone can live way out in nowhere.
Unfortunately not. Once upon a time, I could drive to an outdoor range for cheaper than the indoor one near me...
It's worth the extra cost, IMO.
Then again, the last indoor range that I went to regularly burned down years and years ago.
They charge per shot? lol.
Dry firing is free. Anything else, and you've got to buy ammo. The cheapest 45ACP I've found online is 40¢/rd. 9mm and 40S&W are closer to 20¢, which has me questioning past me's choice of favorite caliber, but my point stands.
Ah ok.
If you aren't complaining about a giant pile of ammo that you have to shoot before you can go home, you aren't getting enough range tine.
Just hide it somewhere. You dont need a safe. Nobody I'd gonna look in a roll of foam insulation for the AR inside it for emergencies.
I can say that the gun grabbers are the real 'best friends' of the firearm manufacturers. Every time they try and pass some bullshit regulation, the sales heavily increase from people either hoarding or (god willing) preparing for what's coming. Seriously, we're seeing record high sales over the past few years with half of them being first time buyers.
i don't even like you having to pass a background check.
should be walk in, slap money on the counter, walk out.
And even if they couldn't, they still preferred stealing them or getting them from other black market sources. Even a ledger record can lead back to them eventually.
Let's be honest, every day is a great day to buy a new gun.

Best analogy I've seen in a while.
Shame about the boating accident on the way home, though, huh? Tragic, that brand new gun, lost to the depths.
optic/flash light/sling/lots of ammo now.
IR light + IR google, be the bump in the night you always wanted to be!
Also, PSA of the day: buy a single, non memey rifle, having 10 firearms that cost 1000$ is ok for the range and whatnot, having a single rifle costing 10000$ will guarantee you performance in extreme conditions.
Also the next person recommending a clamped gas block on a DI AR? I'll probably physically assault him if I can, but that's my problem.
80% receivers?
When does a block of metal become a gun? There is usually one specific piece that counts as the legal firearm, while all the other parts, such as springs and barrels, are simply metal shapes that anyone can buy anywhere. People sell chunks of metal that are 80% of the way to being the specific part that is the gun, but not yet legally firearms. Using some tools at home, you put the finishing touches on it, then add the many other unregistered parts that go with it. This way you never buy a tracked part. They've been cracked down recently, but are still available. This is the whole ghost gun thing that politicians freak out about.
Soooooo, you're telling me there aren't spirits with firearms?
Well that's fucking disappointing. Sigh Pack it in, boys.
Well, ones could use the blessing of Smith, Wesson, Sauer, Heckler and Mas on his boomstick, just in case.
No mention of John Moses Browning (pbuh). This statement is heretical.
His blessing and spirit is in every gun already, peace be upon him indeed.
All of my guns have souls, they have personalities and likes and dislikes.
I ignore those dislikes and make them eat the shittiest steel case around, because if it can't eat steel it doesn't deserve the brass.
I thought they were guns for shooting ghosts like in that Gunsweeper series of games.
Slap a binary trigger in there and have a jolly good time I say.
I'll probably pick up some 80%s, since the ATF seems to have them in their slimy little sights.
