#firearms education

[summerlinarmory]

In the world of firearms, not all bullets are created equal. It’s especially true when distinguishing the 5.56 NATO and .223 Rem bullets. If you stroll into any gun shop in Las Vegas, NV, you’ll probably hear this debate on repeat among shooting enthusiasts.

Taking a firearms and toolmark class right now, and it is annoying me because when doing research you have to wade through hundreds of NRA gun-loving redneck blogs before you find a reputable source.

Now, I'm from rural Northern WI. We're talking, deep in the forest, anyone who wasn't living on a foreclosed farm was probably a logger, townsfolk once tried to stone my mom out of the town for being a witch kind of rural. Inbred enough community that one family had three sets of twins that each died before the next set was born and they were fraternal twins but each set looked identical to the previous set. Stuff like that. The true northwoods experience.

And once, a kid who went to my mom's school died, and his dad brought his gun to the school and threatened to shoot. This was in maybe the late 70s or early 80s, and around there, the school's rule was that you had to have your ammo on a different shelf than your gun. Most people hunted at least a portion of their food because groceries were too expensive. The man was dead in seconds and had over 20 gunshot wounds. Some would say this is an argument for everyone having guns. The first time I heard that story, I thought that was the point my mom was going for. I mean, our family had over 40, and I'd been taught to shoot from a young age. My mom said it was a failing. The guy was bereaved and in a mental health crisis, but he wasn't likely to actually open fire. She thought it was a situation that could've been de-escalated if anyone had taken even a moment to think before reaching for their gun. Of course, mass shootings are awful and we can't truly know how it would have gone.

But every time I have to read one of those sources where the author is like, "In those self-defense situations when you need your gun, you'll want to be able to fire multiple rounds quickly/have the best stopping power/whatever"

99.99% of people will never need their gun except on a planned hunting trip or perhaps fucking their partner with it.

Learn to use your goddamn brain and maybe preventable firearm deaths in the US will go down. If someone tried to mug you and you shoot them, you're the bad guy there. The mugger is desperate and broke and probably doesn't want to kill you. The few examples I hear are always stuff like this. Someone shoots a mass shooter? It has happened. But there have also been times when someone successfully de-escalated a situation where someone was threatening to shoot up or bomb a place. I won't judge anyone for carrying a gun for self-defense, especially after I got old enough to learn why my grandpa did (that's a story for another time), but I sure as fuck will judge anyone who talks like you might find yourself in an action movie at any moment and a gun is the best solution.

i feel like gun literacy should be a solution people push for more often instead of the whole conversation being gun control vs no gun control

When it comes to choosing ammunition for training purposes, the debate between 5.56 NATO and .223 Rem caliber often arises. While these firearms accessories in Nevada may seem similar, understanding their differences is essential for selecting the right ammunition for your training needs.

I do understand that talking about war, especially on sites like this, is seen first and foremost as fear-mongering. That it can’t really happen, won’t happen. But there are nations who very genuinely do believe that Russian aggression WON’T stop at Ukraine. Nations that don’t have the comfort of being an ocean away like in America.

You ever see someone mishandle a fake gun so bad that your skin crawls and you get a cold sweat at the thought of them getting their hands on a real firearm? Yeah, just saw a gif of someone's finger on the trigger as they chamber a round, and then lock their arm out at the elbow to aim, not to mention their hand was over the ejection point when chambering it.... that will bite you. That will take a chunk out of your soft little fucking Palm-Olive hands, dumbfuck.
