      You can build an AR-15 for under $500. Cheap 9mm pistols can be under $300.

      Edit: A 22LR rifle can be gotten for $200. Might not have the stopping power, but it’ll make someone’s priorities change when they get plinked by it. Four round pump action 12GA shotgun can be had for ~$250.

          22 rounds are really good for headshots, because they don’t have enough energy to go all the way through both sides of the skull. The bullet just bounces around inside the head.

          Kick? Loud? [X] Doubt

                There are a ton of videos out there like that. It’s %100 a myth from anti-2a idiots and FUDDs who think they know firearms. 22lr has very little energy vs pretty much anything else, no way it or any other round is “bouncing around” it’s basic physics to know this.

                  Still, it’s interesting to see that the rounds didn’t penetrate the back of the skull. Even if it didn’t “bounce around,” I’d bet that the bullet was more likely to tumble through the tissue. Plus, hot bullet in your skull as a treat.

              You’re good, .308 kicks decently well, not to bad, but 30-06 is probably what it was. Especially if it’s bolt action.

    “Patel was confirmed in a 51-49 vote. Two Republicans, Sens. Susan Collins (Maine) and Lisa Murkowski (Alaska), voted against confirmation.”

      Susan Collins will vote against her party as long as the Republicans have enough votes without her. She is trash and has no principles.

      she only does this when her party has a safe majority votes, and mostly negotiated with the gop prior.

    Imagine how corrupt this nation is going to be at the end of 4 years.

    We’re going to make Russia look like amateurs.

    Arm yourselves.
