Definitely don’t bring your own homebrew stingray device to scrape data from the personal phones of gravy-seals.
No, seriously, it’s probably a huge FCC violation.
Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 13 hours ago
We know that trump was lying about Renee Good and Alex Pretti because people had their phones with them.
mycodesucks@lemmy.world 13 hours ago
Use your phone if you HAPPEN to see something to record while incidentally out and about. If you’re SPECIFICALLY putting yourself out there to protest, document, or obstruct action, it’s insane to bring your actual phone - get a dumb digital camera. It comes with MUCH less liability, and from a purely practical point of view you don’t wind up trying to explain to your phone company why your phone being stomped into bits by a Nazi should be covered by the insurance. It’s just smarter.

If you’re truly that revolutionary then more than enough people will post for you.

Its good to have some kind of camera device that can take and upload video. A cheap flip phone is fine for this. If you’re meeting up with other people remove the battery.

Or make an EM cage mask for your phone.
mycodesucks@lemmy.world 13 hours ago
I mean, it’s still a liability. If you get arrested, and they don’t have direct evidence of your doing something, your phone can’t incriminate you if they can’t get their hands on it.

To be fair protests would be 3000% more effective if everyone had guns.
Not shooting anybody. Just protest while having guns on the side.

Nah, AK mags are double stack so you just push the rounds down. Not like pistol mags where you have to push em in from the front if the feedlips. Not much chance of breaking a nail.

COPY/PASTA
In the US we have the Second Amendment. The fascists have been the ones screaming and yelling about the Second Amendment, but the truth is that all Americans have the right.
Owning a gun isn’t enough. Driving to Cabela’s and picking up a vermin killing .22 rifle is not enough. You should buy a proper rifle, a pistol, and a knife or baton. (Bonus points for a shotgun) Then you need to train with said rifle, pistol and knife/baton. Go to a range and shoot. Look for local self defense/hand to hand combat with a weapon classes and train.
I am not advocating for violence…far from it. But I am advocating for knowledge because owning a weapon and not knowing how to use it is a recipe for disaster.
PS: If you can afford it, buy suppressors and/or active hearing protection. Especially for your rifles. Suppression for the common citizen isn’t about stealth like in the movies, it is about protecting your hearing. Guns are LOUD. Much louder than you expect. Suppressors might be out of reach for most but quality active hearing protection is not.
BigDanishGuy@sh.itjust.works 20 hours ago
Whenever this comes up I like to add:
SyntaxError@lemmy.world 6 hours ago
Active ear protection become passive when the batteries fail. The active part is that they have microphones on the outside so that you can hear normally with them on. I do agree though that noice cancelling headphones should not be used as hearing protection.
Truscape@lemmy.blahaj.zone 20 hours ago
Don’t ear protection like the Razor Slims function both with active noise cancelling and without electricity? Active noise cancelling is useful for hearing the range instructor, but I’d imagine the seal and cushioning would also provide adequate hearing protection.

People should also be aware that shooting guns causes physical brain damage, so they should take that into consideration.

SlurpingPus@lemmy.world 19 hours ago
I wonder if active noise canceling doesn’t have a delay that pretty much nullifies said protection in the case of quick loud bangs.

If you’re currently versed in Firearms and are able to start a chapter, or if you are lucky enough to live in an area with a local chapter the SRA is a good organization. However they are apparently fractured and their politics may not align. https://socialistra.org/

I would say these days, probably one in four of your friends should own an fov drone and know how to use it, repair, maintain as well.
Prob not a bad idea too if one in 8 of your friends takes on 3d printing as a hobby. Knows the ins and outs, maintenance, big supply of filament, etc.

don’t suppressors not work for the first shit?
JoMiran@lemmy.ml 23 hours ago
I can’t say. I’ve never fired mine from the toilet.
FartMaster69@lemmy.dbzer0.com 22 hours ago
To answer the actual question yes, suppressors work for your first shot.
ashestoashes@lemmy.blahaj.zone 22 hours ago
suppressors don’t make your gun quiet as much as they make them slightly less noisy, which helps if you don’t wanna blow out your eardrums. the legality of them varies tho
SlurpingPus@lemmy.world 19 hours ago
Considering that suppressors work by dispersing the gases (just like a car muffler), I don’t see why it would work differently on the first shot.
folekaule@lemmy.world 21 hours ago
As someone who doesn’t know much about guns: if .22 is not enough, then what is “a proper rifle”? Why would I need a rifle, pistol, and a knife/baton? If I am just defending myself and my family, will I still need all of these things?
Hathaway@lemmy.zip 6 hours ago
Most of these comment have said a lot, but lemme just say, a rifle is not for “long range” while a pistol is “short” like a couple people are trying to say. Even for a shotgun. Anyway, former infantryman here. Get a 12 gauge shotgun. Get slugs, bird shot, and buck shot, you’re going to be fine in 99% of situations.
A rifle is more versatile, but, unless you’re putting the time in, it’s not worth it. However, it’s easier to handle than a pistol. Your rifle, just like your shotgun, can handle indoors just fine.
Handguns are for concealment. They’re much harder on the shooter to use, and require more time to become proficient. Short barrel length means weapon handling is down, accuracy is out the window, but, if you need a gun and you don’t want someone to know you have it, it’s your only option really.
BigDanishGuy@sh.itjust.works 21 hours ago
If you’re not a gun person don’t bother with a rifle or handgun, get a shotgun.
You don’t have to worry about over penetration with a shotgun, and it’s easier to hit with than a pistol.
If you want to know what a proper rifle is, then that’s really a subjective assessment. I would say that a 22lr is ok, unless you need fight people in body armor. But I can see how big burly Muricans want something in 338 lapua or 50 bmg.
JoMiran@lemmy.ml 21 hours ago
Easiest way to put it is this way.
Rifle - Long distance shots. Semiautomatic rifles like AR-15 types put out a lot of bullets with precision and are a good way to protect a perimeter.
Pistol - Medium distance. Kill or wound in situations where you can see the white of their eyes.
Shotgun - Short distance (indoors) and highly versatile. You can even load it with “less lethal” ammo.
Knife/baton - Hand to hand combat.
I am not a hardcore gun aficionado so please, I encourage further feedback.
moncharleskey@lemmy.zip 21 hours ago
A rifle is for long range, a pistol for close, and a knife/baton for arms reach. Why you may need all three depends on your situation. If you have a yard, a handgun is going to be difficult to safely use at anywhere beyond 25 meters for most people, so that’s where the rifle comes in. If they are at your door or in your house, that’s what the pistol/shotgun are for, with a knfie or baton as a backup. You do not want to be shooting a rifle inside your house. The noise will be horrendous, and the bullets will over penetrate through targets and the walls behind them. As far as a proper rifle goes, your best bet is an AR15 for a few reasons. They are cheap, readily available, have a plethora of customization options, and most importantly are generally extremely reliable. Another option worth considering is a pistol caliber carbine. This is a rifle length setup chambered in pistol rounds, which reduces recoil and ammunition cost, and if you can use the same ammunition as your pistol. If done properly, you can even interchange the magazines between pistol and rifle. A baton is fantastic to keep on hand because you are less likely to get a major injury if you mishandle it. Any questions let me know!
Gerudo@lemmy.zip 17 hours ago
Talking “proper” calibers is the equivalent of what Linux distro is best. It comes down to how accurate and quickly can you shoot under pressure. By most standards a .22 is too light a round to stop someone, unless you can precisely hit the head and potentially multiple times. A 9mm is kind of gold standard starting point for self defence. Like someone mentioned, if you aren’t a great shot, or feel like under pressure you wouldn’t be accurate, grab a shotgun. Just racking one can stop some people from attacking.

Liberals are not built to fight this way. And a lot of liberal states have helped the fascist agenda with making semi auto rifles extremely hard to buy. AR15 with 30 rds vs mini 14 with only 10 rds…the two are vastly different.
Hate it all you want but this is the double edged sword people warned liberals about. I saw it coming and I started buying right before all the anti 2A rhetoric. Liberals need to start banging on their states lawmakers to undo their bullshit. And vote out the ones that don’t listen.
