My dad just bought a new 9 mm a month or two ago and couldn't find any ammo till last week.

Yeah. Range ammo kinda sucks. Instead my dad and his friend reload their own ammo.

Costs a lot less

Hmm

So i'm looking to build an AR-15 (chambered in 556), anybody have suggestions on parts and whatnot?

Right now my budget is only like $450-$600 (I'm 16 and a guy in my neighborhood is offering to help out)

But my parents are ok with it so it's all good

Yeah

As long as you have parental consent

You can own almost anything after age 12 if you have parental consent, besides handguns.

I think it's age 12 anyway. Might be lower.

Haha, fair enough.

Same with Georgia. Biden was there recently and he was met with a line of trump supporters shouting four more years and whatnot for miles.

> yeah if only i could vote
@GoldenLake yup. Me too

Thank God for people like him

My workplace has a shirt we can wear that says back the blue on it and I am so greatful

Honestly

I've gtg too. See ya. Glad I got to talk for a minute

My uncle just broke his leg this morning... on the first day of his hunt. Feels bad.

Aww man, hope your Papa gets better too.

I finally got the lower for my AR-15 on saturday

Now I have to get the kit for it.

And then I can build.

The LaRue is a pretty nice gun from what I've heard.

Since election season prices have gone up a lot. The kit i am getting ended up being 600 dollars, not including the lower.

Nice

How much did it cost him?

Solid

I want to get a silencer for mine.

I finally got my kit ordered last night for my AR-15. No ETA on shipping unfortunately, but nice to know it'll be on its way.

I guess it'd be a good way to grind for the reticles?

Kit finally came!

(Sorry. Didn't mean to interrupt)

Doubt that'll happen any time soon, I'm only sixteen

I feel that. I go to an early college high school and while all the other kids spend hours studying I have yet to study for a test cause I'd rather be fishing or playing video games or working on a project.

A project like building an AR-15 or making a new knife or whatever else I'm into at the time.

AWM is one I want to own simply for the aesthetics

Yeah. I was looking the other night and I couldn't find one with a quick search. I am willing to spend that money if I can find one and if I actually can get that much by the time I'm old enough to buy it myself.

It is done

Nothing past iron sights right now, but we'll find something at some point.

I got .223 as well. My dad got a reloading bench too.

I know this is way behind, but doesn't this still apply to the people and not the police and government? The people are the ones deciding to use the knife as a weapon instead of a tool. The same applies to guns. Mass shootings are caused by the people, not the tool. The person firing the gun is the one causing the issue. No matter whether the government restricts certain types of weapon or not there will still be people using the unrestricted types in a bad way. Therefore, why have any restrictions?

I went to buy one today but my local Cabellas was out of stock😥

Exactly

I was born in Florida. The year I was born there were 4 major hurricanes that went through our area and my parents say that up until the last couple years there hadn't been any major ones that went through the state.

My dad tells me that once he was just standing around outside watching one coming our way talking to the neighbor outside the apartment building.

Also, I'm thinking about getting the BB gun version of the Sig Sauer "we the people" 1911 (cause 100 bucks is more in the budget for me than 1100). Any suggestions on others to look at?

True. I do have another 5 years to save for it since I can't purchase a handgun till 21

Ye. I'm only 16 rn

I've only just heard about the 2011 a day or two ago

What are the differences between a 1911 and a 2011?

Ah.

I'm gonna be honest, looking at Springfield armory rn and the 1911's are looking clean👌

Surprised the site isn't blocked on my school admin restricted Chrome book though😅

100%

<:thinking:726878987837636698>

100 percent should be.

I'm trying to get into a firearms exam class after I graduate cause I'm wanting to major in forensics so I can be a ballistics expert.

I need to find a trade school nearby then

I'm in college trig (1060) rn and will be taking calculus based physics second semester senior year. I enjoy math so it shouldn't be too bad I think. I shouldn't underestimate it though.

What should I focus on then?

I guess I probably ought to read up on ballistics a little more

Fair enough. When I did some basic research it said physics was really important. It also said chemistry is big which makes sense to me. It didn't really specify which types of math matter most though. The sad thing is that there isn't a degree in forensic ballistics as far as I can tell.

That makes sense.

What did you use it for during training?

Hmm. What geometric concepts were used regularly?

Just to make sure I understand, you would use geometry to place the shot based on the distance from the target, the targets movements, and the obstructions?

Ok. That makes sense. At first I saw some uses, but I wasn't sure how important it really would be. I always forget that angles and other such things are a part of geometry as well.

yeah, i wasn't sure if I was being... pushy, for lack of a better word (at the moment). I really am grateful for all the help.

Haha, you know you're doing fine when you can just do the calculations.

For sure.

I've been wanting to go shoot at range, but there aren't really any places here in the middle of Mormonville USA (Utah)

Solid

Honestly I am not sure i'd be surprised if that did happen.

Google would probably pull up a bunch of articles about the 2020 election cycle.

I liked the campaign a lot. The multiplayer on the other hand... not so good. It feels like they downgraded multiplayer play from MW to Cold War. I also prefer MW graphics. They have made multi a little better with the release of some new maps and whatnot in season 1, but overall it isn't my favorite COD. Not to mention the snipers (which I usually enjoy using) are not all that viable unless you are camping. It takes somewhere around half a second to ads with the pelington and tundra if I remember correctly, and the m82 is a little under the 1 second mark (again, if I am remembering correctly) in their base forms. So yeah, the sniping is nothing like mw, which is an issue for me personally as a sniper. Weapon leveling also takes forever with some weapons.

Haha

Same. Every time I try to use a source someone yells at me for using biased sources. Then they defend my political science teacher for using CNN on a daily basis...

Also, if he gives all of his presidential salary to charities that is able to be written off is it not?

💯

Agreed

Plus, if people actually looked into Biden's past... they'd find a lot of trash.

And if they took it as seriously as Trump's past I think they'd have a lot of issues with him.

Even just recently with his "you ain't black" thing

True. On the topic of imprisoning people, do we wanna talk about Kamala's prison sentencing stuff?

Fair enough.

For sure.

At very least they look close to the same.

Exactly

Later

I just take the cold war codes from my mtn dew bottles I buy at school. Only one of my other friends has the game, so I get the other people's codes as well. Adds up to a lot of double xp tokens.

Which is good since leveling things up takes a crap ton of time in that game.

Boooooo

Should Cali secede?

Then they can be their own liberal country if they like

The rest of the US won't have to deal with them unless they choose.

Exactly

Except the entirety of the state.

What guns?

AR-15?
