    I thought the Ruger GP100 .22LR was only single-action. I still thought it was a really cool gun but really I wanted semi-auto. I still would have chosen it thought if it was only single action.

    But today I discovered that it's actually double-action. The video I had been watching of the guy pulling the hammer back each time was just so that it was an easier trigger pull for high-accuracy shooting. If you don't pull the hammer back, then the next trigger pull will pull it back for you.

    So now that I know the Ruger GP100 .22LR is double-action, I'm definitely getting it. This is a no brainer.

    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.

    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.

    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.
