What's a good first gun to own? I've shot several times at the range. AR and pistol but never a shotgun. Mainly for defense and going to the range, and for the impending apocalypse

Mainly for defense and going to an indoor range? i'd go with a 9mm semi-auto. Go to the range and rent a few different models and see which one fits you the best. Best all around home defense firearm is a shotgun.

Shotguns are good because of the various loads you can chuck in the shells. For home defense, I like the first one in the chute to be rock salt followed by 00's to finish things up. That way, just in case the "intruder" wasn't the baddie you thought they were, they'll have a much better chance of surviving the first blast and if they were a baddie they'd be stopped far enough and long enough away's to give you enough time to rack the show stopper and decide whether to send it......or hopefully not.

Seriously? With Biden appointing Beto "hell yes we're going to take your guns" O'rourke as his gun czar and Virginia working to pass all sorts of 2nd Amendment restrictions it's been in the news numerous times the last few weeks.

So what, no one wants the 2nd amendment revoked, people DO WANT bans on AK style weapons with 100rnd clips. Not needed for any legit purpose. Of course your type will cry like a fucking 12yr old, "Wa-ahahahahahahah! they want ALL our guns!"

Lot's of liberal and democrats end goal is to severely curtail or eliminate private ownership of guns, just like there are many conservative republicans that want to eliminate abortion, they both realize that a complete ban isn't happening all at once so they are going to do it piecemeal going after the most egregious and hardest to defend positions while also applying ever stricter laws in the name of saving the children, pre or post womb.

All the mass shootings recently have been in states which banned 100 round magazines. They either dont need them to kill lots of people or they get them despite the law.
Perfect example is the goons who executed the North Hollywood shootout.

I trust some Doctors. Have you ever read the John Hopkins study on 250,000 medical error deaths caused by doctors, nurses and other health care workers? You should, it's the 3rd leading cause of U.S. deaths.
www.npr.org

Medical Errors Are No. 3 Cause Of U.S Deaths, Researchers Say

If not for flawed classification of deaths, medical mistakes would be the third leading cause of U.S. deaths, Johns Hopkins researchers say. They're calling on the CDC to track deaths from errors.

Yea, I really don't care
 
I know people living check to check that spend their money on more guns and more ammo. I guess they don't realize that having an emergency fund will probably be a lot more useful in 99.96% of the situations they may encounter in life than someone coming to steal their toilet paper and Spam supply.

This should not turn into a gun thread, but I am really thinking of the new Colt Python, but jeez, $1,500?!
