Karen Can't Get a Firearm

[JGalt]

We have mostly strong Conservatives in my extended family. However, there is one Obama/Hillary voting "Karen". She called up my wife last week and asked her to ask me if she could borrow one of my firearms. Seems she is afraid of the inner city filth coming to her home and taking things from her.

Make her memorize the four basic rules of firearms safety first, so she can recite them off the top of her head.

She calls magazines "clips" so I think she is pretty well lost.

I am not giving her one of my pistols like she wants for the very reason you stated. She has never shot a gun and has no concept of safety. I am a firearms instructor and range officer and I know better to give a pistol to somebody that doesn't know her ass from a hole in the ground about firearms.

Yeah that. Probably not a good idea. Just get her one of those $10 keyring cans of Mace they sell in the sporting department at Walmart, and hope she doesn't spray herself in the face with it.

I asked my old Trumpling neighbor why he had three AR-15s and he said it was in case bands of lib-ruls tried to steal his food. I grinned, looked at him sideways and he added "or maybe a zombie apocalypse!"

You didn't bother thanking him for protecting your house?

Yard sign?

.

His old Trumpling neighbor..........LOL

They kicked love out of the neighborhood..........LMAO

Idiots with ASSumptions ^ Ain't the GRAND?

Here's your sign, Dr. Love:

Get after it. Post pictures.

Or, who is your neighbor? Tell your neighbor to log on to USMB. I have sign for him:

Just one problem with your signs - My home is armed

Highly doubtful. You claim to own a glock, and to have fired over 10,000 rounds through it, but didn't know its country of origin.

So, you are either the most unobservant twit on the planet who shouldn't own guns, or a liar.

I'm going with you just being the typical garden variety progressive liar.

You're a fetishist - I don't give a shit where the gun came from (turns out Austria). Only care that it works.

Wrong, clown boi. If you care that it works you clean it. If you clean it you see where it came from.

Don't ever lie to real gun owners. We can tell you are lying real easy.

You call me a fetishist, okay, I am. I love history. I own guns that were used in the Revolution. I have even fired them. I can literally hold history in my hands while all you can do is watch TV.

I shoot it - I clean it - Don't have the serial number and other engravings memorized. You're a fetishist.

What's funny, is an ignorant fool, like you, claims that people shouldn't own guns. Yet you know nothing about what you claim to own.

That's like sending a kid out on the road in a car they know nothing about. Stupid.

Then you think that calling me a fetishist is an insult. It's not. It merely proves that you are clueless about guns, and the people who own them.

Where in the FUCK did I say that "people shouldn't own guns". You are making yourself look very foolish.
Stroke away fetishist. And better buy a few dozen more before Uncle Joe and Stacey Abrams "grab" alla yours!

You claim that no one should be able to own a lot of guns. You called it an "arsenal" as if that is something scary. Thus, you claim that I shouldn't be able to own what i want. And your silly fetishist insult only makes me happy! I AM a gun fetishist. And a damned good one.

I think you should host an annual event with your brethren who own more than 20 guns. Stand in a circle and stroke away!

Every 4th of July we go out and shoot machineguns, and for those who have them cannons.

The recoil stroke on those is quite long...

Hook up with CannonBoy on that - I cannot help

If that's a Glock 42, you only have 6 rounds, too. Better to have something in a 9mm with 15 in the magazine and one in the pipe. Or even better than that, one of those "evil" black AR-15's with a 30-round magazine.

You can find Magpul 40-round magazines for pretty cheap and they seem to be more reliable than the 30-round counterparts.

.

I'm more of an AK guy, not an AR. I like the AR but I bought a new AK right before the 2016 election. It has Magpul furniture on it and I have a shitload of 30-round Magpul and Tapco magazines. But the only mags I leave loaded all the time are the steel ones. The composite magazines tend to bend a little at the lips if they're left loaded for a couple years, and can cause feeding problems. But I like them because they're lighter than the steel ones.

I have a Korean 75-round drum for the AK, but that thing is very heavy when loaded and wound up. You can bumpfire that AK from the hip and unload the drum mag in a matter of seconds, but can't hit anything that way. Surprisingly, I can get 4" groups at 100 yards with open sights and from a sandbagged rest. It's not a tack driver like the AR, but it does what Kalashnikov designed it to do: Hit a man-sized target at 100 meters.

I have owned several AKs over the years but got rid of them. Nowadays I have 30 ARs of all kinds of configurations.

The AKs were OK and of course the ammo cheap but I just never felt comfortable shooting one. The iron sights on an AK is terrible.

My SHTF rifle is a Colt Sp1. I am a retro kind of guy.

As suspected - THIRTY ARs? Fucking fetishists are turning this thread FULL RETARD in an an unanticipated manner!!

I own one of the very first AK's ever imported into the USA. It's a Maadi AKM imported by Steyr. If I use Remington factory it will shoot 1.75 MOA. With handloads I can get that down to 1.

The rifles are much more accurate than the crap ammo that was made for them.

Sweet! Those were made in Egypt and are preban. They're pretty rare and only something like 2000 of them were imported. The Steyr Maadis are bringing up to $3,000 on Gunbroker these days.

Nice investment piece, you probably didn't give anything near that for it.

I paid about 300 for it IIRC. It is as close to a original Russian AK-47 as you can get.

I have (had--tragically lost ) the Egyptian style AK civilian variant. It's a crude weapon but it has a lot of power and will literally fire in a pool of mud. So, whomever happens to find my lost AK (at the bottom of the Sabine River near Deweyville ) should be able to immediately fire it, mud-caked and all.

Yes. I have the Maadi too.

I also have a shit ton of steel-cased ammo for it. Hollow-points, believe it or not.

Mine was post-ban (ugly as fuck). I believe I paid $219, but I may or may not have changed the furniture (only after the ban expired, as far as any of you will ever know ) before I tragically lost it in a boating accident (as far as you know). It is no different than the pre-bans now.

What's wrong with having 30 AR rifles? That's one for every day of the month, unless the month has 31 days.

Maybe he needs just one more.

 

[Bootney Lee Farnsworth]

This one is almost identical to the one I have (had -- lost) prior to me (not) changing the furniture.

Gawd, I'd love to go back to the days when you could get an AK for $300. Mine's made in Texas with a US-made receiver and barrel, and a Hungarian bolt. I paid $850 for it new in 2015.

Stop being the typical Moon Bat asshole. It just makes you look like a piece of shit.

I enjoy building, collecting and shooting ARs.

Just because you are a fag Moon Bat doesn't mean everybody else wears a pink pussy hat like you do.

If you don't like ARs then fine. Nobody is making you own one. Stop being so damn narrow minded about what other people like to do. Don't be an asshole.

Those are plenty good for deer hunting. I have about 300 rounds of the brass-cased 7.62X39 HP put back in the garage. but about 5,000 rounds of of the cheap steel-cased Tula Russian FMJ in spam cans put back. That FMJ punches through soft steel pretty easily but doesn't even leave a dent in the AR500 targets I have hanging on chains up the hill. Nothing penetrates that shit but armor-piercing 30-06.

It's not a tack driver like the AR, but it does what Kalashnikov designed it to do: Hit a man-sized target at 100 meters.

I own one of the very first AK's ever imported into the USA. It's a Maadi AKM imported by Steyr. If I use Remington factory it will shoot 1.75 MOA. With handloads I can get that down to 1.

The rifles are much more accurate than the crap ammo that was made for them.

Sweet! Those were made in Egypt and are preban. They're pretty rare and only something like 2000 of them were imported. The Steyr Maadis are bringing up to $3,000 on Gunbroker these days.

Nice investment piece, you probably didn't give anything near that for it.

I paid about 300 for it IIRC. It is as close to a original Russian AK-47 as you can get.

Gawd, I'd love to go back to the days when you could get an AK for $300. Mine's made in Texas with a US-made receiver and barrel, and a Hungarian bolt. I paid $850 for it new in 2015.

We can talk about cheap SKS and cheap AKs but I have a M-16. It was $290 when I bought it in 1979. I then had to pay that stupid $200 NFA tax. It is worth $30K now.

Yup. Almost anything NFA went through the roof. My 21 Thompson is worth 15 times what I paid for it.

If that's a Glock 42, you only have 6 rounds, too. Better to have something in a 9mm with 15 in the magazine and one in the pipe. Or even better than that, one of those "evil" black AR-15's with a 30-round magazine.

You can find Magpul 40-round magazines for pretty cheap and they seem to be more reliable than the 30-round counterparts.

I'm more of an AK guy, not an AR. I like the AR but I bought a new AK right before the 2016 election. It has Magpul furniture on it and I have a shitload of 30-round Magpul and Tapco magazines. But the only mags I leave loaded all the time are the steel ones. The composite magazines tend to bend a little at the lips if they're left loaded for a couple years, and can cause feeding problems. But I like them because they're lighter than the steel ones.

I have a Korean 75-round drum for the AK, but that thing is very heavy when loaded and wound up. You can bumpfire that AK from the hip and unload the drum mag in a matter of seconds, but can't hit anything that way. Surprisingly, I can get 4" groups at 100 yards with open sights and from a sandbagged rest.

My wife has always been supportive of my firearms hobby. However, in 1979 when we were starting a family and always seemed to have more bills than money coming in that $290 + 200 was a lot of money. She didn't veto me getting it but she wasn't very happy. Nowadays, knowing it is worth $30K, she admits it was a good thing I got it.

When I LEGALLY built AK's early 2000's-2005 I could build one for less than $300 easily even with the 11% FET tax. After the AWB sunsetted I built a mess AK pistols, using Hungarians with snake brakes. Sole them on GB for $400 each, like hotcakes. I'd get $600 on a standard AK average, some variants more.

Being 07 class 2 I could do anything NFA (no DD's) Built a dealer sample Polish PMKMS underfolder in full auto (less than $300. Ammo was about $100 a case. Probably put 20K thru that thang, never hiccuped once. I introduced MANY MANY people to full auto at the range. Watch the smile on someone never shot one before and let them rip a couple 30's.

Unfortunately when I gave up my licenses being a dealer sample I had to cut it up. And I did.

This be her. Didn't bother with a finish, just shot the shit outta it!
