I wonder how many gun grabbers know that the AR in AR-15 doesn't stand for assault rifle

That's such a meme now that I'm sure everyone in the entire US knows exactly what AR stands for.

is it possible to get a shot of the camera looking through the scope?

Sure why not:

Can you sell extra energy back to the power company? I think Elon said that would be possible

Depends on the state.

Man, fuck FedEx. It's delayed until tomorrow. It was supposed to be delivered today, and they said it'll get delivered earlier, but now it's late by 1 day.

Why do they do this shit?

FedEx got delayed... It's not coming until tomorrow. son of a bitch

I emailed them Friday I think so i think it will go out tomorrow. It isn't like I'm doing without guns or anything, but frustrating that I ordered a holster and an extra mag and they've been here for a few days now.

I got a Taurus GX4 which is only $214.99 after the rebate, so it might be backordered from Taurus themselves idk. Hella sweet deal, I couldn't pass up on it.

Oh btw PSA is currently sold out of every sub $700 AR. So you did good to get yours while you could.

I'm probably about to buy a case of m193 Tuesday from my lgs just in case the price skyrockets

Nice. And yea, I've not bought additional mags or ammo because I had no idea when SMGA will ship, or if they were even going to ship, or if what they shipped is what I actually ordered lol. Very little faith in SMGA...

They'll tell you its for home protection then they buy a gun that will take out whoever breaks in and the wall behind them.

Really its because they want to play soldier. People I know who really do have guns for home protection or hunting RARELY go off raving about guns. They own a gun the same way they own a hammer.

I have these guns not for self defense but because I like to go target shooting. I don't have any self defense rounds at home; they're all just FMJs.

What is going on with Texas' law enforcement?

I'm just pissed that I ordered my pistol on June 4th from the same guys and you ordered yours on the 5th and are about to get yours and they haven't even put mine in the fucking mail.

I'm sure it will go out tomorrow but fuck, it'll be almost 2 weeks since I ordered by the time it gets here.

Anyway TC I hope you enjoy it. I really like my Sport 1 despite it getting all the hate for not having a dust cover or forward assist.

I'm sorry . Call and complain; that's what I did on Thursday lol.

And this is the 2nd gen, so it has the dust cover and the forward assist! Not sure why people hated on that it didn't have a forward assist... That thing seems pretty useless.

GranolaPanic posted...

If you did, then you wouldnt buy the same gun that did so much damage that they were decapitated by bullets.

I'm not buying the same gun. Like others have posted here, an "AR15" is equivalent to saying a "truck"; it's a type.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

That same rifle is already +$100 since I bought it.

TC, do you even care about the children killed at Uvalde?

Of course I do. Those police officers were fucking useless and cowards.

yemmy posted...

You should set up a text or email alert for when it gets dropped off and call the gun store when it gets delivered.

My local gun shop does transfers for $25 but they will take their sweet ass time calling you because they aren't making a lot of money and they are lazy.

Yea the store I use charges $40, but is generally on top of it (calls within a couple of hours, unless it gets delivered late; then next morning).

Malcrasternus posted...

What caliber? I'm trying to find a .357 with a side gate right now but sheesh.

357.

yemmy posted...

Eesh did you buy it during covid? A shield is like a $350 dollar gun.

Not a bad one btw, I used to own one. I don't like the triggers on M&Ps but they aren't the worst, and the Shield plus looks like it fixed it

I looked it up. I bought it in 2018 for $360. M&P Shield 2.0 with Crimson Trace Laser. My memory sucks apparently.

I assume I'll get a call from the gun store tomorrow or Tuesday for me to drop by to pick it up.

I'm not sure why some people here think I'm trolling.... Democrats are trying to pass a 1000% tax; I'm trying to get mine before such a thing passes (or prices go up because of such talks, which already is happening). Why would it not make sense for me to buy this now?

TerraSeeker posted...

I've been thinking of getting a gun for a while now. I probably would get a pistol though. It's cheaper and a lot more practical.

Handguns are just as expensive as rifles. I have a SW M&P Shield, and I think that cost like $600ish a few years ago (same as this rifle I just bought).

I also have a Colt Single Action Army Revolver, Henry lever action rifle, and a SW Victory target pistol.

yemmy posted...

Cool. I have an M&P 15 as well, but I only shoot 22 LR out of it now (cmmg drop in conversion)

First thing you need to do is get back up iron sights and a sling. You also need a white light. Also a ten pack(or more) Magpul Gen3 Pmags.

Second thing you need to do(down the road if you can't afford it now) is to get a better optic than a trash crimson trace. Romeo 5, TRS-26 are both good on a budget. If you're willing to spend more, Romeo 4T, Aimpoint Pro, Primary Arms MD-25, Primary arms SLX 1x Microprism. There are plenty more good ones if you are willing to spend.

With a 1:8 twist rate it will shoot 55gr m193 pretty well, I suggest getting a case or two of it.

I didn't know you could convert it to fire 0.22LR. Also, I thought crimson trace were good?

LordMarshal posted...

Regardless: guns are viewed as cool and manly. Theyre not practical or even relatively cheap.

I mean this rifle was $500... That's relatively cheap. Entry level gaming PCs cost more than that lol

The retailer I bought it from already raised the price to $600 lol

LordMarshal posted...

So you waited until after a horrific school shooting to buy a gun?

I wanted to buy one for a few years but never actually did. I impulse bought it last weekend after hearing news that democrats are trying for a 1000% tax.

itachi15243 posted...

This is kinda in poor taste...

It's not trolling, I legitimately bought one.

So excited for it! It's an entry level Smith and Wesson M&P15 with crimson trace red/green dot from the factory. I hope it's sighted in at the factory too lol.

Once I get it, I'm going to buy a couple of mags and some 556 NATO rounds to go target shooting if time allots next week.

Thanks, congressional democrats, for finally getting me to buy one with the talk about a 1000% tax.

You don't play as the girl at all. You just play as Trigger, who is a pilot for Osea. The story just kinda tells the story from her point of view.......for some reason.

Oh. Who the hell is Trigger? Will the story start to talk about me eventually?

So I just started playing this, and wtf @ the story so far:
Some girl can build a plane that can go faster than the speed of sound in her backyard...? And then I get thrusted into a jet; who am I playing as? Then suddenly, I play as the girl, but in prison, and the government let's prisoners fly jets?

Are they chanting groover....? Wtf does that mean?

AloneIBreak posted...

I honestly would have guessed itd cost more than ~$600 for an AR-15.

Back during trump days, you could get them for as low as $300ish.

hockeybub89 posted...

And then what?

There is no "and then". It's like playing videogames, racing cars, etc... it's fun.

I don't live in a delusionist state where I truly think I need a gun to defend myself against the military during a coup, or defend myself against an armed robbery... I just think guns are neat and fun.

I have a concealed carry type pistol and a concealed carry license, but I never actually carried.

CyricZ posted...

What do you find fun about guns?

Shooting it and getting better at shooting it. It's not just "point and shoot", there are actually skills involved, especially for hand guns.

hockeybub89 posted...

I just want to know why people stockpile guns if they don't plan on using them. How many targets does someone need to shoot in a lifetime?

They're fun. Guns are not all the same, brah... Literally the guns I have are all different types!

CyricZ posted...

It's still not worth it and you know that.

And yet, you've owned the anti-gun people by spending your money on your toy. Well done.

I mean... I'm not trying to "own" the anti-gun people lol. Like I said, I've always wanted one, but never really bought it. I can foresee prices on these type of rifles will probably go up and stay up for the next couple of years, so screw it...

hockeybub89 posted...

How many guns do you need to do absolutely nothing with?

They're fun. I'm part of a sportsman club and I go target shooting maybe once a month. I have a Henry lever action rifle (fun old-style), Colt single action army revolver, a S&W Victory target pistol, and an M&P Shield 2.0 concealed carry pistol. Now, I have a M&P 5.56.

CyricZ posted...

Not until this topic you weren't but I respect the follow through to not be considered wrong.

Nah, I always wanted to buy a 5.56, but I never thought it's worth ~$500-$1000 (i.e., I have somewhere else to better spend the money on). But with this new proposed tax, EVEN IF IT DOESN'T PASS, I can see prices for "assault rifles" will go up... so fuck it, I'll finally buy it.

IdiotMachine posted...

I'm literally buying one now.

Just finished purchasing.

Delta_Force posted...

I bought it when it came out on PS4, along with a flight stick.

I regret getting the flight stick (it's nice but not worth it for one game).

Didn't finish it and want to double dip on PC but I'm waiting for a massive discount.

This is exactly me; but I also sold the PS4 and all games. I bought it now for PC, since it's only like $12.

Who even likes that pretentious mofo?

Edit: "here" in topic title is "hire".
