its great entertainment
fun
but i believe that its not needed for self defence
not saying that they should be illegal though
The government has no place saying what I can buy
my dad just walked by me, held up two boxes of ammo, and said with a huge grin 'more ammo in case of looters!'
Boxes??? cases.
doesnt really matter lol
XD
@Bar, tbf, a "case" of ammo often refers to a certain quantity of smaller boxes. e.g., 1 case of ammo might equal 1000 rounds or 50 boxes. So, in my mind, it is perfectly fine to call a 20/50round "case" a box, b/c that's what it is. Kind of like when you buy eggs at the store. you can get a carton of eggs, or you can buy a case which typically equals 3 or more egg cartons.
just my 2c tho
20/50 box IS a box, a case is a case of 20/50/100 round boxes, anywhere between 10 to 25 boxes per case. 500 rounds is a short day at the range.
my 2c
I wish I could afford to shoot 500+ each time I go shooting.
oh, im sorry, I thought you were telling swizzle that boxes are called cases, lol
fr David, I only shot like 5 rounds of 30-30 last time, just to check zero. Zero was ofc off and I did have tools, so I decided not to waste ammo.
When I was in competition it was 800-1,000 rounds a week, its more like a month now. Couldn't afford 1,000/wk now. Still, I haven't bought a single box of ammo in decades, they're cheaper by the case
Well for self defense rounds for my carry pistol, it just didn't make sense to buy more then a single 50 round box. Everything else I buy bulk 600+ round cases.
Oh, that's not true, I've bought single boxes of defense rounds for the EDC firearms and the "placed" home defense weapons.
David we typed that at the same time.
I shoot on 2 competition teams and shoot around 75-100 rounds for the shotgun team and around 150-250 for the steel team every week during the season.
Is your shooting teams related to your school?
The actual competition was 200-300 rounds depending on how I did and when I got bumped, some days 25 did it. But I was at the range burning through ammo for practice all the time.
I am home schooled, but it counts as credit for high school.
Cool, I wish when I was in high school I had an option like that.
Not school, didn't do team shooting, 1980 thru 1993 individual shooter in USPSA before it was USPSA.
Yeah it's pretty fun
We had a gun club when I was in school back in the 1960's but it was about maintenance and cleaning, beginning smithing.
not enough gun posting
I’m in a gun argument with lefties rn, can I get some backup?
There are good days and desert days of gun posting
@Lockwood Studios What kind of gun argument?
What kind of help do you need with lefties and guns?? "shall not be infringed" works for me.
if they bring up the word "need" at any time list all the crap they don't "need", cell phones, facebook, man-buns, piercings, tattoos, fedoras, beards, cars that can go over 40mph, etc. If they bring up "assault" weapons, point out "assault" is a verb and if I hit you with a rock, its an assault weapon. Making laws about what other people NEED is a slippery slope.
If they mention "rifles" as in assault rifles, ask them why they want to ban the firearm used LEAST in homicides in this country. EVERY other type of firearm is used more often than black rifles. ("Its because its black isn't it you racist twat-waddle")
If they bring up the homicide count, point out that 60% of all gun homicide and 70% of all gun crime is gang/drug related. Eliminate gangs and drugs and the US is comparable to most of the world. Over 50% of gun homicides are black on black crime, 6% of the population commits over 50% of the gun homicides.
If they bring up Australia, point out that gun crime rates in the US dropped at the same rate it dropped in Australia without the gun ban. Gun crime rates in the US are currently HALF of what they were in the early 1990's, and have been dropping since the mid 80's. Point out that prisons are gun free and yet the homicide rate there is higher than most of the rest of the world, homicide is an action of PEOPLE not guns.
Hmmm... what else??
Gun
They are trying to say that people shouldn’t be able to have that kind of power because it can cause a lot of damage or something
and they drive cars??
^
Just what I was thinking.
Also more deaths are caused by blunt force objects than any gun.
> not enough gun posting
@ᚲᚱᛁᛊᛏᚨᚾ this is airsoft, but i guess it counts.
