Hey all, if you’re a liberal/leftist located in Washington (Seattle/Olympia/Tacoma or south Washington) or northern Oregon (Portland/Salem), check out the PNWAL.
In a heated interview with CNN‘s Dana Bash on Sunday, Border Patrol Commander Gregory Bovino said his agents were the real “victims” in the fatal shooting of a Minneapolis protestor.
The killing of Alex Pretti by federal immigration agents in Minnesota has led to a rare rebuke of top Trump administration officials by leading 2nd Amendment advocates.
*A number of pro-gun rights Republicans pushed back on the administration’s argument that Alex Pretti was dangerous because he had a gun. Pretti was legally licensed to carry one.*
A masked guy breaks down your door w/o an Article III warrant absent exigent circumstances? Yeah, I’d agree. Trick will be that pressing the murder charge would be federal since a federal agent dies in the line of official work (though illegal), which would give the president grounds to push for death.
The ATF and the federal government still don’t grasp a simple fact: responsible gun owners who train and follow the rules aren’t moved by every new regulation.
I’ve confirmed this with multiple accounts now. If you promote the 2nd amendment, including training responsibly with others, your account will be autobanned within 60 seconds.
I guess I’m building an AR pistol. It will technically be my SUV gun. Also, I’m impressed by the speed of NAS3 out of short barrels (starts at the 6 minute mark) I hate living in interesting times.
I do like Chris Baker’s gun-nerd take on things. In this case, I was trying to figure out why my guns all seem to move around in my hands when I’m shooting, causing me to take extra time to re-aim after each shot. In contrast, most of the people in pistol-related videos have their sights snap right back on target.
These are the two that I carry most often. Both are Smith & Wessons. I am still trying to get used to the optical sight on the Shield Plus, so I usually have the 632 UC on.
There are other CCW forums on Lemmy, but none on discuss.online, which is a US-based Lemmy instance. Since the US has the most permissive concealed-carry laws for the largest number of people, it seemed like a better instance for a group like this than lemmy.world, which is hosted in the EU AFAIK.
I know this might sound strange, and like the title says, obviously practice firearm safety, obviously listen to range officers, organizers etc. But when it comes to your life as an armed queer person, do what works for YOU.
