After election

I’m thinking self sufficiency might be super important to learn after these election results. All of the warnings about cost eventually rising, tariffs, and so much more I’m trying to really educate myself. But I’m making an effort to start my self sufficiency journey so whatever may happen I can know I have myself to rely on. What are you guys thoughts? And what are some skills you think are good to start out learning?

Just made the day of every single conservative in the country. We love nothing more than someone utilizing the right to bear arms, welcome to the club.

I don't know why so many conservatives think that democrats don't own guns. Many of us are veterans and already have guns. Wanting to put in some common sense gun laws like background checks doesn't mean that you want to ban guns.

Background checks are already a thing. This proves how many democrats don’t own guns. If you try to purchase a gun illegally(as in you’re a felon) the state police can and in many times will show up at your front door.

There are not universal background checks. I can buy as many guns as I want from individuals with no background check at all. The only people who have to do background checks are those with an FFL. It's super easy to wander around a gun show and find an individual selling guns without a background check. I'm a combat vet and definitely own guns.

Well maybe gun shows are different. I’ve never been to one. I’ve purchased 22 firearms in my life, all from the same store in rural Pennsylvania and I can’t ever walk out with a firearm without passing a background check.
