$40 trillion in debt. Can’t afford. You don’t have the right to others labor. We call that slavery.

So you’re a literal NAZI. Thanks for the admission you are an enemy of humanity.

The electricity issue is easily resolved by nuclear energy with the biggest hurdles being government regulations and the time it takes to build nuclear power plants.

Every leader is tested. Few are prepared for what the test actually demands.

The great thing about thermal nowadays is that there are options for everyone now. You don’t need a $8k thermal scope to detect heat You can buy $500 dollar thermals for that.

Yes but eventually the thermal blanket heats up. Also, a big square is still visible and draws attention so defeating thermal still takes significantly more effort than hiding from say night vision

Sorry man. I can feel this thread. Honestly, I have empathy for your entire family here. Give your aunts time and patience man. People react differently in death…Even years after the fact.

“When Violence is Virtue” out now in Kindle and paperback a.co/d/8QqJAiH Peace is not given. It is claimed by those willing to stand in the crucible on behalf of those who are unable or unwilling to act. In a world desperate for peace at any cost, the truth is that peace is often paid for in blood.

Newsflash. Nobody is coming to save you. Nobody ever was. Your safety is your own responsibility. The government doesn’t exist to save you. It exists to extort you.

And then the Apache pilot goes home to find it was burned down with family inside…except for their heads which are on spikes. Even the dog. This fantasy of the government oppressing its citizenry doesn’t sound like such a great plan afterall huh?

Wait till you realize the Marines are the ones saying “but I got an AR15.” Marines especially infantry Marines and other combat arms types are overwhelmingly pro gun.

Do you enjoy your car not being loud AF on your daily commute? It’s literally the same thing. They make very very loud things generally hearing safe but still very loud. When I shoot, it’s generally a suppressed gun, foam ear inserts and ear muffs It isn’t like the movies Suppressed is loud too

I walk around with situational awareness; not fear. Wtf is a jart?

So do taxes on suppressors keep people law abiding? I mean, I have 4 of them afterall… Or do you just want to ensure only the affluent can afford them?

Wow, now you are really reaching.

Adam McLain @bangswitch5000.bsky.social · 26/05/2025
You don’t take the shot that isn’t safe. You don’t know the layout of my home. You don’t know what my surrounding environment is. I get your firearm’s experience only comes from COD and movies, but some of us have real world experience, training and knowledge

Adam McLain @bangswitch5000.bsky.social · 26/05/2025
I didn’t brag. Just posted a couple old pics. You definitely weren’t in the military or combat arms. We spent countless hours practicing MOUT at night. And plenty of training in environments with enemy combatants and civilians. Oh and then there was that time I did the thing in AFG

Just take the L dude. You lost. It hurt your ego. Just quietly move on. Or continue to make a fool of yourself

You definitely don’t know how sound works in general. I would never hire you as an audio engineer. Lol

It’s not hard dude. Takes a second. You don’t shoot through walls. Jfc. You definitely are projecting massively

Are what are you even going on about? Are you okay?

Adam McLain @bangswitch5000.bsky.social · 25/05/2025
It’s called getting “Positive Identification.” Pretty sure the night vision or flashlight resolve that problem of potentially not getting it. Besides: “Know your target and what lies beyond applies.” This isn’t your wheelhouse dude.

Hahaha. Please, keep telling us you have no idea what you’re talking about. For starters, just a few old pics…

My dude, you can buy a psa ar15 for $400. There are also viable handguns under $300.

The gun shops don’t pay the tax, the purchaser does. Then the purchaser of said suppressor must keep the tax stamp for the duration of ownership. All it does is remove suppressors from the NFA and make them form 4473 items. Calm down

Adam McLain @bangswitch5000.bsky.social · 24/05/2025
Lol, it’s loud AF and you are in denial. Doesn’t matter. You lose fascist. Freedom is winning. Go cope and seethe.

Adam McLain @bangswitch5000.bsky.social · 24/05/2025
Or I know how to get PID before shooting. Just because you have no training or real world experience doesn’t mean we all don’t.

Adam McLain @bangswitch5000.bsky.social · 24/05/2025
Actually yes, a suppressor improves performance. For starters it makes firearms softer shooting so less recoil which helps for follow up shots. Im addition, because of the noise reduction, it improves user situational awareness

Did you watch the video? A suppressed gun is louder than a jackhammer

$200ish ain’t bad. Who are you on the bird app?
