  • Price, availability, and ease-of-use make a 12 gauge pump action the best choice in areas where AR-15s and other scary looking black rifles are restricted.

    Make sure to have ammunition appropriate to your environment. 00 buck is perfect for rural homes, #4 buck is better suited to neighborhoods where collateral damage is a concern.

    Make sure to have some bird loads for drones, but use caution when shooting in, around, or toward populated areas.

    Be advised, hollow point slugs are not effective against armor, nor is any kind of shotgun load.

    And be warned, the instant you fire that thing indoors, you won’t be able to hear anything for a minute. Hearing protection can help, if you have time to put it on.





  • Jimmy Carter pardoned Nixon because Carter was the bigger person and he believed that forgiveness is the most powerful act one can perform against their attacker.

    What Carter forgot was, he’s supposed to represent the people who voted for him, and the voters weren’t, and didn’t care to be, the bigger person; they wanted accountability and didn’t place such abstract values on the act of forgiveness.

    It was a good personal decision to make, but as a presidential decision, I find it lacking.


  • probably already fucked up by talking about it.

    I don’t think so. If we get to the point they have time and resources to tack down stuff like that, we’re badly losing the fight.

    Organizing is as easy as meeting your neighbors and starting a group chat to keep an eye on each other and maybe exchange information and resources. Rome wasn’t built in a day and all that. Focus on making connections to those closest to you and your network will grow organically from there.

    Organizing is effective too. It’s a lot harder for them to take someone when it’s John, the electrician who gave you a hand fixing your kitchen light and not just “the guy in the blue house.”
