This is basically the story of how a scary number of serial killers became serial killers.
I've wanted to get into this and start doing long range stuff. NRL22 was my "cheap" hobby turned expensive.
I have a long list of different custom firearms I'd love to put together like an engraved 1911 and a bolt gun from a defiance barreled action, but here's the off-the-shelf or clone list for me:
Nighthawk Sandhawk
Mark 12 clone from PRI
Knight's Armament SR-25
Bula Defense M14
M24 Sniper System or clone of one
M40A6
Some of these, like the M24, I can probably make happen in the next couple months/years. Some like the Nighthawk and SR-25 may never happen just because they're not a priority.
I've been places on this planet where the police are obviously corrupt and a threat like this wouldn't be unthinkable. Some of the people writing these scams probably have no frame of reference for what a reasonable threat would be in a place with less corruption.
Modern society has really fucked us up. Only 200 years ago we could have all built our own houses and worked on improving our own properties rather than slaving away for a corporation's profit.
Even if you want out you're kinda screwed with the price of land most places. My wife and I have good careers, make pretty good money, and yet we still aren't sure we could afford to start a simple homestead.
