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.

Link to news sources, please, thank you.

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.

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!"

The gun your instructor hands you at your first of many training sessions.

That's poor planning. I have a more than adequate supply of guns and ammo on hand always.

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.

So you don't trust doctors? I'd suggest avoiding them for the next two to three hundred years, you know, just to be safe.
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.

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?!
