I would like to make a statement about the usage of the term “redneck.” My family is a redneck family and they I personally have spent a lot of time in the south. A lot of the people you will meet there are perfectly nice people. A better term to describe these people you are referring to is “conservatives”

"Ammosexuals" is what I've heard.

"Don't use THAT blanket term, use THIS one!"

Well I feel conservatives is much more of an applicable term for this, considering they’re the ones pushing this slop out. It’s unfair for an entire culture of people to be blamed for this, while it’s really just one political party.

Its not fair for you to be labelling an American group by a Canadian political party either associating us (Canadian Conservatives; we've got healthcare, fuck you don't @ me) with American garbage.

Call em Republicans.

Need to include MAGA, Tea Party, and Libertarians. So conservative as a description is suitable. Should have had a better name for that party.

lmao. Also I feel by the post being a literal maga photo I would feel the context is given that it’s not the Canadian Conservative Party.

My dad is a now-retired highly respected physician and naval officer. He considers himself to be conservative but is not like that at all. He finds what the Republican party has become is absolutely abhorrent. I wouldn't call that mindset conservative either.

Boebert just can't stand not being the center of attention

I feel like you're saying I'm not nice and that's rather hurtful. Can you please not?

i love reading post gwot banter of children who’ll never understand until it’s too late about self defense. i mean the picture is strange but where your convo is going is even stranger. but of course none of you have ever experienced any form of threat or altercation other than running out of weed or someone having a different opinion than you, where you would know how the wrong caliber could be the end of your life.

Out of curiosity; what threat to your daily like needs more than a Saturday night special to cc and a 12 gauge in the closet? If we’re defending against people that it.

considering said people will probably have semi auto/automatics if smart then we could go on for days. but ole dude made it out that all you need is a 22. bigger picture/purpose is if (prob never will but that’s the point) tyranny began wouldn’t you want something modern to defend your family if it was already readily available? it’s over with, the guns everyone hates are already out there. therefore if a ban happened the only people with said guns would be criminals, they’ll have them regardless right? i’m not saying they need 50 cals mounted on roofs but at least have something that will match the threat. i.e. 30 round magazine, larger caliber 7.62, the forbidden 556 , or even 45/9mm

Fair. I myself just got my first Zastava ZPAP and and looking to kit out the trigger and the bolt a little. I guess my mind just goes to “if you’re going to spend to buy, be proficient with, maintain, and feed 7 ARs then let just drop the home defense pre-text and try to get licensed for the real heavy shit”. We’re really just drawing where the line is anyways. We all agree that not every 21 year old off the street should be able to get access to an MLRS system just because they could somehow afford it. It’s just a matter of where we decide to draw the line. That being said; I’d love to see a simulation of the US if everyone had access to anything and everything they could afford.
