    I dont know man cant you think for yourself? Easy to conceal means easy / comfortable to carry. You can just put it in your pocket or or boot or wherever. You dont need holster. The little snubnose iis portable. ALso in situations like that you also have to worry about humans. So little concealed backup handcannon can be handy. I meant the zombie apocalypse thing as a joke btw but you takes things so seriosly aparently

    A "zombie" doesn't know or care if you're armed or unarmed. So there is no point in using a weapon that gives up capacity or stopping power. In situations like that, it's safe to assume every human is going to be armed (if they expect to live), so even if you couldn't see a gun on them, you'd know they have one on them. So that person concealing is giving up stopping power and capacity for something useless in that situation.

    The only joke is that you come on here in this sock account trying to pretend that you're not Kimbo. And you think any of the regulars haven't figured it out.

    I passed my pistol safety course today and so now I can go down the range whenever I want and rent a club gun and buy ammo.

    If I attend four more times, I can apply for a firearms certificate. A cop will come out to my house and sit down and chat with me, ask me why I want to own a gun and just get a general feel for me. If I get the cert then I can own my own gun and bring it home -- the law is extremely strict though about where I can store it and in what situations I can take it out of my house. If I get caught with a live round in a magazine outside the range then my cert is revoked and all my guns confiscated.

    That pic I posted was 50 rounds shot with a 9mm Glock 17. Not bad for a plastic gun.

    No thanks.

    But, I thought you had the need for some therapy in the past (not that that’s something bad), does that have to revealed & if you don’t, could there be a severe penalty? It seems like you should be honest about that. What’s the local laws say about it.

    It's been more than that. The Kimbo has admitted before that he's had several stints inside residential care facilities for his mental illness. And from how he acts on here, he never should've been released from any of them. It's a lot easier to buy gun in a store in the US than it is in the UK and his mental health issues that the ATF checks on will ban him from ever owning a gun here.

    So this is just another Kimbo delusional troll. But at least he got one of alter-egos (sincity) to participate.

    And you believe everything he says? The dude trolls us all many times just to get responses & for certain guys, says shit simply to get under their skin. You understand that right?

    I get what you’re saying, I just take the stuff he says with a grain of salt & if he’s got other accounts as you said, let admin deal with it.

    gun control has nothing to do with guns and everything to do with control, as in the tyrants want to control the peasants. and anyone with a brain who has read a history book would be opposed to the idea of gun control, because historically what we see govts doing after banning and confiscating firearms is committing mass genocide on anyone who even half way resembles a political dissident.

    speaking of firearms, heres a couple i have.

    I have kind of a different view on gun control. People want to feel tough and they think if they if they got the meanest gun, they'll "shoot those God damned Democrats/communists/whatever if they cross this line in the sand I just drew."

    Then, of course, "they" cross that line and that person just draws another line and says the same thing.

    Case in point would be the co-fraud lockdowns. They had the entire fvuking world on house arrest. There's a 10:1 ratio of guns to people in the United States. How many armed revolts to this house arrest happened? 0.

    Not one single gun-toting American stood up for their own basic right to not be imprisoned. And that was over something stupid like a fake virus.

    To be honest, gun control isn't necessary these days. And even if you and your 100 best friends decided you were going to be Rambo, it wouldn't end well for you. Not to mention the FBI has informants in every dissident group small or large, they'll know if something is being planned long before most of the members of those groups know what is being discussed.

    So really, gun control is just a way for the government to "spike the football" on you.

    Im not sure you caught what I was saying, it may have been worded wrong. So heres a different version.

    When I saw gun control only works for people that abide by the laws, I mean non criminals. Ok? Criminals will always have guns, they may be a little more inconvenient to get them, but they will get them. Gun free zones do not work, if someone wants a gun , a criminal for instance, will get one. They dont care about the laws, and if joes gun and pawn is closed down it doesnt mean guns dont exist anymore.

    Maybe thats a better version?

    And I don’t disagree guns dont kill, people kill

    If you have a proper YouTube channel with everything above board, and upload a video that can't be demonetized (i.e. no backing music, no clips from the public domain), then you make $8,000 for every million views.

    So I could get my channel going with "Mental Patient Invites Cop Home For Gun Talk".

    When I get the $8k payout, I can pay 40 escorts $200 to come with me as my guests to a nudist swim. I'll film this event (with behind the scenes footage), and again upload it to YouTube. That vid will get millions of views too, and then I'll collect the payout and plan my next video.

    At some point I'll reach out to the cartels to do a collab.

    People will start to notice that Kimbo is the unhinged maladjusted king of content.

    Ok our government bans guns requires everybody to participate in a "buy-back." No questions asked about how you got the gun. Amnesty if you illegally obtained the gun, just hand them in. Who is going to hand their guns in?

    It's certainly not going to be the gangs, drug dealers, robbers, etc. They're going to keep theirs. The only people that will hand theirs in will be the law-abiding citizens who don't so much as even have a parking ticket outstanding.

    the media would certainly like for everyone to believe the typical american gun owner is some paranoid, insecure straight white male extremist that walks around with an AR15 threatening people thinking this proves his masculinity, but i dont know any gun owners that act like that. most gun owners think of gun rights as a privilege that needs to be treated responsibly and with respect, meaning never be unsafe with a firearm and never talk crazy, especially in todays day and age with red flag laws.

    i agree that gun control is not necessary though, guns are inanimate objects, and even if you could magically make every firearm disappear, people would continue to kill other people with different types of weapons

    i understand what youre saying, and i agree with you. laws will only affect people who obey the law, passing more laws will not stop criminals because they dont care about obeying the law.

    I will say this much about gun owners and shooting ranges. Every time I've ever been to a shooting range in my life, I've spent at least a good 15 minutes bullshitting with people I've never met before talking about whatever. They tend to have more conservative views, but it's always a very welcoming place. You can't really say that about too many things these days.

    Yea, I believe that most american firearm owners are united by a sense of brotherhood in that we acknowledge our 2nd amendment rights are under attack, and we all feel very strongly about our desire to keep our gun rights

    See this is it. Anything that can be taken away by government either by some alphabet agency or through legislation is not a right and never was one to begin with regardless of the label of "right" being used on it.

    At the end of the day, the Constitution and The Bill of Rights are just sheets of paper with words on them. If you had any rights, they would exist whether or not those papers had them listed and a government or individual wouldn't be able to take them away under any circumstances.

    What we have are privileges granted by the government (or any individual who has supremacy over you) and they can be revoked at their discretion. We can say crap like "they can take it from my cold dead hand" all we want, but they'll either take it from our cold dead hands or throw us in jail if we resist (or both).

    And people will try to say I'm wrong, to which I'll reply "Ok, what happened to bump stocks?"

    This isn't exclusively about guns. It's literally about anything we call rights especially and including speech.

    while it is true that our tyrannical overlords would love to revoke all of our rights and really put the boot to our throats like they have done so many times in the past in other countries, it is important to remember that the bill of rights and the constitution are not meaningless documents that the govt can arbitrarily modify, disregard or throw out entirely. we need to value the foundation of this country and stand up for it, within our legal rights of course. what that really equates to is lawsuits over unconstitutional laws that are passed. CA courts are in a position to possibly overturn assault weapon bans and magazine capacity limitation laws.

    im not sure where they stand with the bumpstock issue, but the ATF's redefinition of frames and receivers was kicked out, and i believe pistol braces is going to go the same way.

    Ok, let's suppose they infringe on your right to bear arms and you decide to sue. How many millions of dollars will it cost you to battle it out in the courts (which is a gamble in itself)? It's pretty cost prohibitive for the average man. I don't know about you, but I don't have millions of dollars laying around to pay for legal fees and lawyers. Not to mention the courts are stacked with judges that don't care about that "bill of rights." At the very least they'll do all sorts of mental gymnastics with the words so they suit what they want.

    Not to mention it takes years (possibly decades) to get anything overturned (and even when they are then the state/federal government will appeal so there will be a temporary stay). At the end of the day, you're relying on the very system that violated your "rights" to give you justice over them being violated.

    Really though, your "rights" only extend as far as your ability to enforce them. Whomever has power over you, be it a government or an individual inflicts their will on you and since you are powerless to combat it, your only hope is that their system will reinstate your privileges once they've been taken away.

    There is no such thing as a "right." Contrary to what any legal document says. That Constitution and Bill of Rights might as well be written on sheets of toilet paper, because government wipes their asses with it whenever they feel like it. They're just words on paper. Force is the only thing that legitimizes anything.

    The ATF's violation of your "rights" is just one example.

    i dont have millions of dollars, but collectively GOA, FPC and other groups do through donations and they bring the court cases forward.

    it might not be much but its all we really have. i do not share youre mentality of defeat on the matter though. and thanks to the supreme court justices Trump put in power, we may be able to push things in our favor. by that i mean get assault weapon bans thrown out as definitively unconstitutional.

    If someone is legally allowed on the streets(IE not in jail for a crime) then they should have access to possession of a firearm. It is not up to the government to dictate who is ‘mentally deranged’ or not. Firearm ownership is the essence of being a free man on the land.

    Only a commie would want to restrict peoples firearm ownership.

    Also 22 handguns are gay. If you want something small for a backup pistol a 9x17mm(380 auto) will do the job or even a 38 special.

    CCI 22 stingers are fun for some plinking in a ruger 10/22 or a henry pump action.

    the reason people buy and shoot .22 lr firearms is because the ammo is cheap. $100 worth of .22 lr ammo is going to keep you busy much longer than $100 worth of .44 mag ammo

    Yeah...!!!

    I remember the first time a gun was pointed in my face, on my 21st birthday, outside of a titty bar that we were being ejected from. I was in the front of the pack, as we were being lead out of the club, and some commotion happened behind me; the guys were pushing and shoving, and I ran up the stairs, and at the top a bouncer pulled a small caliber handgun out, pointed it in my face... That pistol was perhaps a very small caliber (although if I remember correctly), but it was plenty big enough...

    I've heard a lot of people tell me that 22 handguns are not effective/gay/insert_negative_comment I've yet to ever see anybody volunteer to let somebody shoot them with one to make their point.

    this video may give some insight into what .22 lr can do



    also, i remember watching another youtube video that talked about statistical data from thousands of shootings. it was found that .22 lr will effectively stop a threat immediately about 33% of the time. common pistol calibers will immediately stop a threat approximately 50% of the time, and rifle/shotgun calibers will immediately stop a threat approximately 80% of the time.

    .22lr is not the most ideal self defense caliber, however it is definitely powerful enough to cause lethal injury.
