You know, maybe the pistol I have isn’t enough… Hm
I've been saying for years that people on the left need to get strapped, and that cops ain't there to protect them. It's sad that it's taken a fascist getting elected--mostly because too many people on the left were purity testing and sat out--for them to catch on.
...And yet, left-leaning states (Colorado, California, others) keep trying to restrict gun rights even more.
2A4A.
For me the main reason I don’t have something bigger is because guns are expensive!
Fair.
FWIW, PSA rifles are perfectly serviceable and can be bought for about $500. Ammunition though... That's where it starts getting really expensive.
Well, for ammunition, you only really need enough to fill like a few magazines, right? Though you’ll want extra to use at the range for practice
Right, that's what I mean. You need enough ammunition to get proficient, and stay proficient. If you don't practice, your ability will decay fairly rapidly.
Otherwise, I only need something like 250 rounds for the magazines that I carry on my plate carrier (for things like The Gun Run, where you have to carry all your ammo with you) plus the rifle.
