    MAC-11 are cheap stamped steel trash guns, but because Reagan or some dipshit in the 80s was scared of explosions powering machines (dunno why cars weren’t banned, come to think of it) full-auto guns like this shit went from being cheap $200 throwaways like Hi-Point, to five-digit legacy historical heirlooms that Boomers pass down to their families as a fucking rare Crusader artifact found in a dusty ancient tomb.

      Funny that most of the gun legislation has come from Republicans. Regularly hear, “I ain’t votin’ for no Dem because they’ll take my gun.”

      Yesterday, I went to pick up some more ammo and the gun counter guy talking to a customer about how nice it is that they can take these criminals straight to El Salvador without having to go through courts.

    @seahorse Of interest, that image (not the caption) would have been of the Right until recently, and now it can be applied to Left or the anti-MAGOTs. If everyone’s holding a gun, where do we end up? Why the O.K. Corral. Then later, after the ashes settle, the survivors can debate who was right or wrong. 🤔

      Almost every country that doesn’t have nukes, are building them. Everyone that doesnt own a firearm by now should get a gun. So you need to get over it; this is the world we live in now.

    What are you gonna do? Use your guns to kill billionaires instead of kids? I don’t think so.
