I've been saying for years that people on the left need to get strapped, and that cops ain't there to protect them. It's sad that it's taken a fascist getting elected--mostly because too many people on the left were purity testing and sat out--for them to catch on.
...And yet, left-leaning states (Colorado, California, others) keep trying to restrict gun rights even more.

For me the main reason I don’t have something bigger is because guns are expensive!
Fair.
FWIW, PSA rifles are perfectly serviceable and can be bought for about $500. Ammunition though... That's where it starts getting really expensive.
Well, for ammunition, you only really need enough to fill like a few magazines, right? Though you’ll want extra to use at the range for practice
Right, that's what I mean. You need enough ammunition to get proficient, and stay proficient. If you don't practice, your ability will decay fairly rapidly.
Otherwise, I only need something like 250 rounds for the magazines that I carry on my plate carrier (for things like The Gun Run, where you have to carry all your ammo with you) plus the rifle.
