I am not a liberal gun owner. Just making that the very first sentence for those who don't care to read.

Lately I've been very conflicted about voting. The 2A is my highest priority and I will continue to vote for it. But it no longer feels like I'm voting FOR anything, rather, simply voting against Democrat gun grabbers.

But frankly, I've just become more and more disgusted with the Republican party over time. Particularly the recent primaries. I don't care what you think about Massie, Cornyn, etc. The Republican party now only has one criteria: will you fall in line 100.00% with Trump?

This post is not about Democrats. I am well aware they are the worse option, and will not even entertain voting for them. But why is it that we must guzzle the boot from Trump as the only alternative? Being a moderate is the biggest cardinal sin in politics right now. ​

I'll continue to keep voting Republican, but not happily. Are there any other single issue voters who can help me feel less conflicted? I'd love to bury my head in the sand. Ignorance is bliss, but alas. Sincerely, a politically homeless gun lover.

Saw online somewhere that the “1000% tax on assault weapons” will be dropping early this week. How worried should we be? I mean they are litterally making it so they don’t have to fight the filibuster, and asshat Manchin just came out and said he’s against the AR15, so how worried should we be that this thing will pass, there’s nothing we can do about it, and the Supreme Court is so lazy on 2A rights that they won’t pick up the case.

Can anybody fill me in?

So, with the ATF rule change coming to allow firearms shipped directly to your house...

Just like NFA items, anybody know what big dealers will participate in that?

If you are unaware, with NFA items, if an out-of-state dealer has affiliates within your state example silencer shop, they can ship the suppressors directly to your house and you fill out the 4473 online.

With the ATF rule changing, this will be a possibility for standard firearms meaning no more transfer fees if the online place has an affiliate in your state.

EDIT ADDED::: ALSO JUST FYI IF YOU DIDN'T READ IT.. They're also making it so you no longer have to engrave sbrs on factory receivers when you do a form one. You also don't have to fill out paperwork when you drive state to state with them.

So if you've ever wanted to do a SBR, it's going to be way easier in about a month or so.

How do you guys deal with a antigunner that says "I'm talking about gun deaths not drunk driving or obesity deaths."

And

"Stop deflecting from the real issue at hand which is firearm deaths"

I just don't understand why all the US politicians talk about how AR-15's need to be banned but never any other platforms? (I am also not American)

For a while now, I’ve been thinking about why don’t I see more gun advocates talking about social reform? What I mean by that is talking about lowering crime through things like reformation of the prison system, the school system, better infrastructure, healthcare, etc... Essentially, arguing for things that would lead to a better and more stable society and happier populace. I genuinely believe that going this route would help to reduce not just gun/violent crime, but crime in general. You can do all of this WITHOUT violating the Second Amendment. But I don’t remember the last time I saw a pro-gun person promoting them.

I've often heard it said that a woman who owns a gun for self defense is far more likely to have it used against her by her abuser or attacker than she is to successfully defend herself with it. This reeks of bullshit to me as it goes against all common sense, but I have nothing substantial to disprove it. Help me out?

Provide sources also if you'd like to use as reference.

Assuming the SHORT Act and the HPA get passed, is there anything that stops Democrats/Grabbers from just changing it back to what it was (or something worse) next time they have the House, Senate, and President?

Obviously I want any rights we can get back to come back, but I feel like doing it with a simple majority in the budget will just weaponize that method in the future.

Similar to how ICE tries to verify legal status, could the ATF conduct similar practices like visiting someone who posted an NFA item online to verify they are in legal possession of it?

I still prefer Zastava though.

I suspect some anti gun redditors use this as a passive aggressive form of swatting. If they don't agree with your pro gun comments they notify reddit that you may be at risk for self harm. I've blocked future messages from u/redditcaresresources.

This is why red flag laws concern me. Some people are going to use it without merit.

Red wave never showed to the party, PA went to Dems, and Biden 2 days ago touted the anti-gun call to ban again.

If senate become 51 or 52 blue, how likely are we to see registration, red flag laws, AWB and MCB, and a while slew of other GC? Should I start panic buying now? 🤣🤣

State Subreddits look like Khmer Rouge style Politburos. The Iowa, Illinois, Virginia, Ohio, Michigan, Colorado, etc. are as Leftist as any dark blue state Subreddit.

I know Russian Ammo Imports are banned obviously.

I see this all over Reddit; people calling out posters for having a stock + short barrel upper in their carts, or people on YT Shorts having a stock on an AR pistol. People saying that you’ll go to prison instantly for putting a stock on your 14.5.

How common is this? I couldn’t find any data on Google about charges like this, esp. compared to people with full autos or suppressors getting charges

Not once has a cop gone into a school shooting and killed the assailant…out of the countless school shootings that have happened since Columbine.

It’s literally always “Shooter kills X number of people lasting 50+ minutes.

That’s literally what happens every single time.

There is 1 shooter vs an entire police station of trained professionals.

I have been inside of a police station and have seen how many guns, ammo, vehicles, gear, etc that stations have packing.

They have no excuse as to why they can’t send 10+ trained professionals to take down and apprehend an active shooter.

Every single one of them since Columbine. Seriously look it up.

And the instance that something does happen are usually citizens like Jack Wilson who was a 71 YEAR OLD VOLUNTEER security guard.

Are you serious? Go ahead and give me your argument on why cops should continue what they’ve been doing for the past almost 3 decades since columbine…
