I wanted to buy a rifle today. 8 weeks backlog at the factory. This country is fucked.
People aren't buying now because they fear the Dems will ban them.

Yes, Americans need more guns. We are screwed without more guns.

Oh calm down
Our country survived a civil war. Where real guns were aimed And fired at our soldiers. Not water bottles and bricks.
You sure know how to make things seem alright.
I will grant you this may all go away. But, I will say two things:
1) My previous point: people are not buying guns out of fear they will be banned. That was always the reason for previous sellouts.
2) Antifa is arming up. Quite a few pictures of them carrying gear that is better than my gear. And, I can tell you that the crowds at gun shows are changing. It's not the usual rubes the Left like to ridicule.
Yes, 8 guns are better than just 6. Re-loading less of an issue.
Those damn zombies are always in packs.
They're buying guns because of riots and police defunding, my pacifist liberal pro gun control
friends have bought guns in the past 2 weeks
Yes. I've been approached by a few for guidance to buy.

Ned, here's one. 1,000 yd range. But I agree, seems like America took a turn
for the worse this year.

Nice. I think cheeks was trying to talk me into that caliber.
I'm hard pressed to think of a scenario in which I'd want to take a 1000 yard shot, though.
And boy is that pricey. You are making me feel better about looking at a piece that is half that.
Today I was looking for a light-weight, low-recoil shooter for the wife. (I know, I'm a great husband.) Looking at carbines. (I know...the purists will gasp.) Something along the lines of the CMMG 9mm Banshee...and I'm considering the suppressed option.
You are of course correct. There is no reason to take such a shot.
I guess it's sort of like the Arms Race that encourages detente.
Anyway, I'm just happy that there are people in the US like you who arm themselves and their wives. It does seem more necessary than 5 or 10 years ago.
Don't take my post as criticism. I always dreamed of getting a Barrett .50
That allows you to reach out and touch a target. A fun toy, but also too pricey.
Then again, high quality firearms may be the new gold & silver.
Especially if they defund the police!

Yeah, but I would buy a bolt action.
1 shot, 1 kill.
Many prefer anti-tank. And grenades too. Work great against zombies.

On your best day, you would miss the target by 12 feet.
And if a 17 year old Muslim was firing back at you, you would miss by 120 feet.
Take your Rambo Foughazi act to to your neighborhood 4th of July barbecue.
You might even get laid.
Don't forget the BDU's and the MAGA beret.

I've hit targets at 10 miles.
Granted, that was with a 155mm caliber.
I once hit a target with a BB gun. Didn't shoot my eye out either.

There is math. And then there is the Staff NCO telling you to add a propellant bag.
Does the battery commander listen to his caddy?
Never an easy answer.
If the caddy is wearing his MAGA hat then, well, yes.

Oh, and maybe they do things differently in the Marines, or things have changed...
But when I was in, if someone told you to add a bag...you best throw it all away, and get a new bag chain, and recut. Don't be adding a random bag. You grab the wrong one, and you may overshoot the impact zone. The only thing worse than the FO seeing your rounds miss the target is (happens all the time)...the FO not seeing your rounds impact at all (thankfully never happened to me).
But, maybe you are younger than I thought. The guys in the video at the link at my other post look like they are handling individual bags, which we never did. Always came in sets of 5 for the 155. I'm sure I'm dating myself now.
Charts & darts...slide rules and protractors. You have to do the math.

You're much better off with a shotgun.

Pretty effective against zombies. And snakes too.

Personally, I don't see the advantage of a stockless shotgun.
I'm covered with a conventional pump, though. Grandpa's shotgun still works like new.
Mine is similar to this but with a regular/adjustable stock.
18.5" barrel and tactical light.
Sounds good to me, then!

I may be able to fit you in at the bunker when the boogaloo starts.
Already reserved a place for Cole.
You right wing crazies could come in useful then.
Orange reminded me that I needed to inspect my bunker. I did. A-OK.
MRE's still there. TP for bunghole. A bible like the one Orange has. Good to go.
So, if they make you pick sides, you'll pick us over Jimbasil and '64. Makes sense.
Jim would be dead weight, and '64 would kill you in your sleep and eat you.
Personally, I'm looking for Negan. And that gal in Peppermint. All I need for my bunker.
