"What were your expectations? "

That the world I was raised to live in still existed?

That the laws I've been told my whole life I HAVE to follow or I will be jailed actually mean something?

That literally any of the lies I was fed about alternative economic systems, religions/nonreligion, or stereotypes were true?

Unfortunately all we have is this shit.

gestures wildly at humanity and what we have done to everyone and everything in our reach

I might need a therapy or two...

Armed minorities are harder to oppress.

organized armed minorities make the government afraid.

Ask the Black Panthers.

Oof, don't tell Ocelot that. He might take it personally.

The obvious choice is to buy a multi-piece rifle, full size or pcc is up to you, that breaks into 2+ pieces.

Have your pet carriers modified to carry the pieces and some utility things like ammo/cleaning/batteries/etc.

Now when you load up your pets, you also have your carry gun!

No part of this was thought out for practicality, results may vary from intent.

Arm your kitties.

Oh god it's another cursed abomination from gunnitrust.

This isn't the first time I've seen it today, and if it wasn't made by AI I have to assume someone crafted the original image, giggling to themselves as they put so many features that don't mesh into it, while also seeming like it could.

Honestly it almost looks like a Bren 805, but something doesn't quite look right about the receiver. Like it's a high receiver from an AR platform, but everything else looks like an 805.

Ive been wanting to get a 308 for awhile since most of my stuff is pistol caliber or 556. Awhile back I almost got a coworkers dad to sell me his FAL, but then the day before the exchange he decided he wanted to keep it. Ah well.

What guns? I lost mine in a boating accident. Terrible tragedy, but I figure they're a waste of money and haven't bought another one.

Oh, all that ammo? I just keep that for emotional support. It's been hard since the accident...

Just don't ask what's behind my "I sure do love me some Jesus" shrine or why the wall behind it doesn't make sense with the wall placement in the other room, or why I have 42 copies of the Bible in extra large print on one shelf in the living room...

(LPT: they don't open bibles and they probably wouldn't destroy a Jesus memorial in front of others who supposedly love Jesus in order to discover the hidden door to the storage room)

Must be nice.

If I pull a gun when ICE thugs roll up on me, I am ABSOLUTELY not going to the gulag.

I will be dead, having been shot 197 times by 3 people who shot 400 rounds each.

But if I'm lucky, quick, and have drilled enough with my firearm, I'll have taken at least one of them with me.

The gun isn't some magic forcefield, and nobody who posts or says things like this is under the illusion that it is.

I will happily catch bullets taking some ICE thugs with me before I lie down and accept death in a concentration camp.

I will also happily catch bullets taking some ICE thugs with me to protect someone nearby from being taken.

Nobody posting memes like this is under any illusion that if they pull a gun, they are getting away with no repercussions. Bare minimum, you are now on the run for the rest of your life or until the remaining US population sees the light of day and organizes with us.

I recently watched a 3d video in a small theater about dinosaurs, and in the video we follow a T-Rex mother from her first eggs to death, including a fight with another dinosaur that ends up crippling a leg, and then the last few shots of her are limping toward carrion to survive a little longer, and then dead in a creek bed and I legitimately almost walked out of the little theater we were in.

I may have smoked a little before going in, so I may have been a little more emotional than usual. But still.

It was.

In Ohio? I'm almost positive it isn't legal. It's definitely illegal in states like California. But they're banking on nobody recording their interview audio (which I will now be doing as Ohio is single-party state) and nobody complaining if asked.

I doubt it's a company policy, but I did send an email to their company offices to complain about it, for all the good it will do.

I would never let him live that admission down.

Every day I'd be reminding him about what cognitive dissonance is, and that he was all for a policy change until he learned that the belief he held and was ACTIVELY ADVOCATING FOR aligns with an ideology that someone who makes a lot more money than he does told him to hate.
