I fear our team is terminally behind on this topic. The other team has already depleted national ammunition supplies to unprecedented extent. I couldn't even buy 12ga target load for our New Year annual skeet shoot. Utterly empty shelves.
Add the underrepresentation of our team amongst the ranks of military and police. . . it's a grim outlook. We're unorganized and unarmed. I think it's going to take some supernatural or extraterrestrial intervention if it all goes alt-right tits up.
But if we rebels meet somewhere in the woods, I'll share some shine 😃
Hello Eric, I am happy to hear you are considering a firearm purchase to defend yourself. I might offer some advice if you do not mind. We put cartridges or rounds into a magazine. The bullet is the part that leaves the end of the barrel. The cartridge has four components , the case (usually brass), the primer, (makes a spark when struck by the firing pin) the powder or propellant (highly flammable material that contains fuel and oxidizer on the same molecule} and the bullet. If your readers ask to buy "box of bullets" they may be directed to the reloading components
I suggest getting a AR15 as the first weapon. Sadly they are not available to you as a CA resident. Rifles are safer in that they have a longer sight radius and that decreases the probability of shooting yourself or someone nearby. The pistol takes a considerable amount of practice to gain proficiency. That basic level of operational efficiency is much easier to acquire with an AR. AR's can even be used within a structure with the judicious selection of the ammo to prevent over penetrate. One with a 16 inch barrel provides great performance without having extra length that can be unwieldily in tight spaces.
You may want to make the correction in your firearms related posts. You refer to the Officer Brian Sicknick as being beaten to death. It turns out that officer Sicknick did not die of blunt force trauma.. He may indeed have died as a result of the Capital riot but more likely medical. I hope you were able to contribute to his GFM page for his family while it was open.
I just heard that 29% of the population now is considering a separation of the country along idealogical lines. While not an ideal solution it would be preferable to another civl conflict. Plus we could always unite if conditions warranted
