Keep MAGA off my GUNS!

You could probably hide it in an actual Bible. They may thump bibles; they don't actually open them and read, though.
- I came here to post exactly this. If they read and follow the Bible they wouldn't be who they are.
  
  Me too, but with a possible caveat about illustrated bibles.

- This silhouette feels like it’s stolen from every major gun, but isn’t an actual AR. That upper is closer to an AK slant at the rear and the forward barrel shroud is odd. Although I’ve seen some magpul esque 3rd party stuff.
  That said, 5.56 is a round I’d be switching off of for everyone else. It’s ubiquitous, but the military is switching away from it due to body armor resistance to 5.56. Now .308 and 300 black out… most of the gun nuts all agree that the best bugout bag gun is an FN-FAL. Excellent stopping power, highly accurate, controllable, and has some great built-in features that make it perfect for survival on the front lines.

  Who, exactly? FALs that make it to the US are notoriously finicky and unreliable. The ones made by Century Arms take a lot of fiddling to make them work at all, and when they do, they're 2MOA at best, and more likely 3MOA. Also, even in carbine configuration, it's big and heavy.
  .300BO is based off of the 5.56x45mm cartridge; it's intended as a subsonic round--e.g., extra-quiet when you're shooting with a silencer--and has ballistics on par with a bus. It's big, heavy, slow, and has an incredibly short effective range.
  Neither .308 (7.62x51mm NATO) nor .300BO will go through a level IV plate, which is pretty standard at this point for US soldiers.
  If you want highly accurate in an AR-15 package, go for 6mm ARC. If you want highly accurate in an AR-10 package, go for 6.5CM or 6.5PRC.
  Most countries have moved away from battle rifles. The biggest reason is that ammo is heavier, and heavier ammo means you can carry less. All other things being equal, the side with the most ammunition tends to win. The second reason is that engagements rarely happen at ranges that require a full-powered cartridge; a mid-sized cartridge is quite sufficient for infantry use.
  
  You may call me a traditionalist, but I prefer shooting fascists with a 30-06 from a garand, the way God intended.
  
  SIG 556-SWAT, a US-made iteration of the SIG 550 series that is out of production now.
  
  Oh god it's another cursed abomination from gunnitrust.
  This isn't the first time I've seen it today, and if it wasn't made by AI I have to assume someone crafted the original image, giggling to themselves as they put so many features that don't mesh into it, while also seeming like it could.
  Honestly it almost looks like a Bren 805, but something doesn't quite look right about the receiver. Like it's a high receiver from an AR platform, but everything else looks like an 805.
  Ive been wanting to get a 308 for awhile since most of my stuff is pistol caliber or 556. Awhile back I almost got a coworkers dad to sell me his FAL, but then the day before the exchange he decided he wanted to keep it. Ah well.

If you've got a revolver and read Sowell, I'm going to assume you are MAGA.
Though it does give me enormous pleasure to know conservative economists like Sowell and Laffer are alive and well to see Trump drive our economy into the ditch in the dumbest way possible.
- Laffer also saw the collapse of Kansas directly from implementing HIS policy over a decade ago

hide it in a bible. they never open those either.

That gun does not fit in that book. Also, choose a semi-auto over a revolver; revolvers are slow and clumsy to reload.
- True, but revolvers also don't litter the ground with shell casings that could be used against you as evidence when you have to defend yourself against, just as completely random examples, a healthcare CEO or oil exec.
  
  I've never had a revolver jam either. Most of the hypothetical defending of myself should end before 6 shots. I will probably still write messages on my brass though.
  
  Just put the gin in a cloth bag as you shoot. At that range, it's hard to miss.
- Oof, don't tell Ocelot that. He might take it personally.
  
  It's 2025, Adamska. The war is over and the Glock 9mm won.

"A book! Get him!"

Seems that the constitution or and law book would work too.
- Even the Bible would work.

This might help. If they could read.

They'll find the gun in the ashes after they finish their book burning though

Or put it in a Bible. None of those MAGA idiots have ever actually read a bible.

This is the only viable use of a Thomas Sowell book
- Mankiw or better, friends

I remember seeing this meme in a conservative comment section here on Lemmy. The text, of course, switched to say Dems don't understand economics.
Maybe nobody understands the economy because IF there is such a think as a "free market" we sure as hell ain't in it.

My pistol is in my hollowed out Bible. Not sure where to put the shotty
- Really big bible?
  
  "Why is that Bible like four feet tall?"
  "Oh, that's our family Bible. Big letter edition."

Makes me wonder if I am being naive by not bringing a gun into my house.

Remember: Buy a gun safe.

What guns? I lost mine in a boating accident. Terrible tragedy, but I figure they're a waste of money and haven't bought another one.
Oh, all that ammo? I just keep that for emotional support. It's been hard since the accident...
Just don't ask what's behind my "I sure do love me some Jesus" shrine or why the wall behind it doesn't make sense with the wall placement in the other room, or why I have 42 copies of the Bible in extra large print on one shelf in the living room...
(LPT: they don't open bibles and they probably wouldn't destroy a Jesus memorial in front of others who supposedly love Jesus in order to discover the hidden door to the storage room)

I love how it doesn't actually fit into the book.
