Absolutely. Something else you can do to get around gun laws for self defense is (and I know this is going to sound slightly insane) is a crossbow.

It might not be a firearm, but it's better than a baseball bat.

Makes sense.

Dishonored, that sounds nothing less than horrifying. For further details, look up "Cats CGI".

Certainly teaches people more than they would ever learn sitting at a desk.

I been spending too much time on these meme channels recently. Does anyone here play TTRPG's?

I grant that they're more than adequate for a single intruder.

Well, wait, scratch that.

You *can* theoretically kill six people with a single revolver, yes. If everything goes right.

But that's a huge assumption to make.

I think Doughnut Operator detailed the story of a police officer who carried 300 rounds with him after getting into a gunfight and finding out that 100 rounds was not enough.

Each mag carried something like 18, he was carrying a full-sized glock.

Those are big words for someone who's never been in a gunfight.

Sadly, no.

Creeper, I'm trying to say that I'm staying *away* from the memes for now.

Good question, I would ask him.

And I don't think it's a huge assumption to make that you've never been in a gunfight. Less than 1% of people have been.

Yeah.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not knocking your BP revolver. What I am saying is that there have been plenty of instances where a mag of 18 rounds wasn't enough with a smoothly firing 9mm with semi-auto operation. BP revolvers are considerably....less efficient than that.

So I don't think it's a forgone conclusion that 6 rounds is enough.

And training is absolutely important, it's just important as the weapon.

Fair enough.

@F5 tornado thanks for the article, btw. It was noted.

Yeah. Bourbon, you better be the best damn shot in the world for all the crap you're talking.

Nobody's knocking your love of revolvers. But there's no reason to assume that this discussion is an argument that you need to win.

Discussions, real discussions, are about learning.

He may not be able to, he does live in canada.

Not to mention, rifles can be a bit expensive.

Maple for the Maple God, honey for the honey throne!

Alrighty. Friendly advice, no hard feelings: If you can save for a rifle, try and go for that. I myself do not train with my firearms *nearly* enough. I think you and I need to train ourselves on a handgun draw, bourbon.

Maybe you're the fastest spook in the North, but I myself know that I'm no good with a pistol draw.

Awesome, keep it up.

Way to go.

^Put some points into that demolition skill.

I've heard that it's not good for the weapon, does that have any legitimacy to it?

Yeah

I just re-watched Donut's video.

Good on Harper.

It's not that we're far-right, as the Left continuously likes to claim, it's that Social Media has been driving the Left off the cliff, and Legacy Media followed it to chase the clicks. We have revisited the 1920's of Russia, where it is only acceptable to spout nonsense because telling the truth will bring the wrath of The Party.

Tim Pool, Blue Dog Democrat, is where liberals were twenty years ago.

Remember that time they spent 42 million dollars of taxpayer money on building a goddamn mule?

https://www.rt.com/usa/327395-darpa-mule-robot-google/

How many mules can you buy for 42 million dollars?

No it was not.

It was not "always" the 20th.

JLP, the difference is that *they* did something. They did not wait for some politician in Washington to do it for them.

We're here to push back on the false hope BS.

When the Bible talks about "Hope" it is not an emotion. It is a mentality. If you had to translate it to something it would roughly be something along the lines of "To act in such a way as to suggest that your actions will have future meaning. To believe that if you try your hardest, things will get better."

Hope is not "Well, I'm sure this guy over here will do something that will magically make everything better."

Been watching for the last three months.

Pushed by the same people who are now telling you it will be the 20th.

Why would you trust them?

I do have hope, but it is not the false hope that you have.

Read my earlier description of what hope is.

You're making no sense, that is a non sequitor.

Read up on existensialism.

No. It only fulfills that old truism. "When Speech Becomes Impossible, Violence Becomes Inevitable."

And yet the mafia owns weapons. The cartels own weapons.

They can pass any number of laws they want.

Would anybody here be interested in being invited to a server for Table Top RPG's?

I'm thinking of running a game of Star Wars Saga Edition. All the lore is Legends, the game came out before they vomited out "A Farce Awakens."

Bourbon just likes to talk smack, he knows we're only 300 yo as a country. It's like saying "I know my five year old will never be in any more fights because he's only been in one fight. Compare that to my 85 year old granpa who's been in twenty."

Damn right, we're more rebellious than you ever been.

A bunch of teenagers could walk up to the whitehouse, it's a house, it was never meant for defense.

When you get so tired of turning the insurgents to hamburger you just get bored and go home.

We could have kept going, too.

According to the propaganda they teach in your schools, sure we "invaded".

You kept enslaving us, that's what the war was about.

It was about saying "Go fuck yourselves, we're not worth the effort."

And it wasn't, how much money did you lose in that war because your merchants just wanted to think of themselves?

If we lost, why do we still have a navy?

The English still own you.

Look at the powers the Queen has.

A shitload of debt.

But without the war, we would not have been able to continue commerce. But we did continue commerce, because we won the war.

No you don't.

Exactly. You still beholden to the queen, and we aint.

Legally speaking, they could call all you up for service in a heartbeat. Until you say "You can't do that", then you aren't independant.

Well, that aint new. Britain has always been fighting ze Germans.

And you were doing it for Britain you didn't gain a single thing outta that war.

You mean Britain let you get in on their spoils is what you mean.

We would have taken the land if we'd wanted it.

We're the only one of Great Britains children who left the basement and moved out.

Alright, that's a lie. The scots gained independence so that they could move into the basement of the EU, but I don't think they really count.

I'll respect the Irish, for sure. India's fighting China, I'll give em that, Singapore adopted free trade, good for them.

Africa is a nightmare hellhole who're currently bending the knee to China.

I took it back, that was an ignorant comment on my part.

We did? Where are our slaves, then?

So you're saying we *didn't* keep it.

Which was the point of the offensive maneuver.

At the beginning of the war, that was just a testing blow. Seeing what you had for defense. If you couldn't keep Quebec, you certainly didn't deserve to have it.

I'm over here laughing out loud.

Great Britain had to lower your rent to keep their dishwasher around.

I gotta say I actually disagree with that, yote. People dumb enough to go hiking in the mountains of Afghanistan, you get what's coming to you. We're better off without Seal teams rescuing them. We don't need their genes.

If they paid out, they'd be getting kidnapped a lot more often.

I respect the Canadians, even if they have their history revised to make them look better.

Right. You keep telling yourself that, Bourbon. Nobody would want to kidnap you, you're too damn stuck up.

Americans are abducted because we have too many people with more money than sense, and we got a lot of enemies looking to hit us in the wallet.

But hey, you could let China be the world's police, see how that goes.

Or maybe the Kremlin, I'm sure they wouldn't mind.

It's like how the gangs have a serious hate-boner for the cops. They claim it's because the cops are unjust, and maybe there's something to it, but the biggest reason for the hate is because THEY wanna be the cops.

We hate the Kremlin, we don't like the...permissive nature of Russian citizens to still vote for a man like stalin as the third most well liked leader of the Motherland.
