Well and most secret service agents are conservative just by nature anyway..... Biden and his camp probably had to search long and hard and get subpar candidates to try to find straight up super woke ones.... They probably had to settle for moderate ones that "just personally didn't care for Trump" lmao
The same goes for most special forces and any of your elite trained units. I could probably list many reasons of why that is but it still remains a fact that most of them are moderate or straight up deeply conservative, albeit in the current climate many of them may be deeply closeted as well.
I have to imagine that for some of the agents that have been there for many years, Trump is the very first politician in general they've gotten a chance to protect who really had their best interest at heart and that they were genuinely proud to protect. They always say they're proud to serve and proud to do their job and all that jazz, but I imagine it's a bit different when you're truly proud to lay down your life for that very specific person.
Also I'd like to add that a lot of people don't like to hear it but the secret service really does work its ass off to hire truly non-partisan people... these are people who may have lots of political views outside of work even, but they have been extremely and extensively well trained and when they're at work it doesn't make a damn who the protected is, they will lay down their life for them equally under any and all circumstances.
Yep from what I remember he even kept a lot of his personal security around until the point in which he trusted his secret service the same amount.......
Yep. I had family over at my place to shoot and I didn't like seeing guns with the slide/bolt closed. I have no idea if it was cleared and mistakes happen. I was handed a 40 cal gun and a magazine, the first round failed to fire. I couldn't get it to eject until I wiggled it out with a knife. I picked it up....9mm.
I ordered some random stuff from them in 2020. They accidentally sent me a 300 AAC completed upper. When I reached out to them about it to try and get the order fixed, they told me they were shipping out the correct order and to keep the free upper “for a future build”.
i can deal with hazing, I just don't need somebody losing their shit because I asked a basic bitch question, even though I'm only learning about this stuff, lol
Anyone who is going to give you shit for asking questions about a firearm build is not worth your time or money (this includes stores and forums). That being said, I’ve never heard anything really negative about PSA. Remember, PSA is pretty entry-level in terms of what they put out. It’s not bad at all, don’t get me wrong, but it isn’t high-end stuff either. It’ll get the job done, and that’s what matters. While they are nice to have, the majority of people don’t have a need for an SR15 or an HK416 (and many of the people I know who actually own stuff like that, well they collect and don’t actually shoot the damn things). PSA is pretty familiar with their customer base being the type that’s looking for the Honda Civic or Toyota Camry of the firearm world.
What’s funny is the premium “pretentious” companies actually have pretty damn good support. I had to give Wilson Combat a call about something once for a 1911 I have and the guy who hopped on the phone with me sat and discussed what I was encountering with my firearm inside and out. Atlas puts out a ton of free videos on the 1911/2011 platforms and their smiths are more than happy to answer questions on builds, repairs, general modification etc.
Companies like HK on the other hand are known for having such horrible customer service that they have become a meme (and this is coming from someone who owns over a dozen different HK firearms).
I built a commifornia legal 300acc
From bottom up. It wasn't hard. 3 different you tube videos and i was good to go. WMD BEAST multi cal
Has the nickle boron finish. Precision BCG velocity trigger. 16 inch barrel. Iron sights and red dot.
At 125yrds it is dead center using iron sights and super sonic ammo.
The sub sonic fall short at that range unless you aim high.
And recoil is very little.
My friend wife fired it (first time shooting an AR)and smiled and immediately said she wants one.
Her second shot hit 8 inch plate at that 125yrd mark.
They'll buy them, post a ton of chest-thumping on (((Instagram))) about nOt OnE iNcH then willingly turn them over for the sake of their social credit score instead of actually using them.
He's absolutely right. It's all for show. Yall are too afraid to even call them guns anymore. Your ancestors and forefathers look down on you in shame.
I feel like he quickly answered it, but didn’t go into the details. Sometimes, it makes me wonder if he really knows what this specific issue is about. Love him to death. I just hope he had good advisors this go around.
This particular video clip was cut short but I was watching it live on RSBN and after the video clip is cut he specifically says that the pistol brace issue will be an easy fix.
He expressed his intention to protect pistol braces at PSA today. Also, he's a populist so he listens to the people and it is clear the message from the people is a stronger stance in support of the 2A so I fully expect him to embrace this and further reduce 2A restrictions.
Bump stocks was 4d chess dude. He pulls out the "ny dem" card for two seconds over something totally able to stay a safe queen for a bit, the ruling gets over turned and rights are further secured. Sucks for the companies selling them, don't get me wrong.
But he undermined a lot of haters on multiple fronts without doing any major damage.
That's my opinion. I know everyone has opinions but do you see the arc of justice going towards liberty or are you feeling demoralized? Happy to help right the ship.
What I'm seeing is protection of rights expanding.
Yea, that answer isn't filling me full of confidence.
Guns are not a strong issue for Trump. Unfortunately, it really needs to be, because there's a lot of people out there who are getting turned off by that weak stance.
Then those folks are STUPID, because not supporting Pres Trump IS supporting the Uniparty and the endless, gross overspending on everything EXCEPT Americans. They might as well cast their vote for Mike Obama now if they aren't 100% for Trump.
I did too and cringed. When I first took basic firearms training classes years ago, one of the four rules they immediately pounded into your head was never point a weapon at anything you're not willing to destroy. While I understand this display was for photo-op, I would have felt more comfortable had the handgun been consistently held by the slide with the muzzle pointing directly at the floor.
INB4 they charge Trump with illegal purchase of a firearm. He's going to transport it ACROSS STATE LINES REEEEEE
But seriously, I guess PSA is going to mail it to a Florida FFL so GEOTUS can legally transfer it, or is this just a "sale" of a gun that's only for the cameras?
I think a federal court actually ruled that as unconstitutional but so far no FFL has had the nerve to actually see what would happen if they tried. I believe it was from a case that originated in Texas.
You are correct that some states recognize non-resident permits - South Carolina is not one of those states, so do not attempt to conceal carry in South Carolina if you're a Florida resident without a Florida permit but using an AZ or NH non-resident permit.
Regardless, lawful concealed carry, permitted or permitless, has absolutely nothing to do to with federal prohibitions of transfer of a handgun to a non-resident.
Trump is a resident of Florida and is only legally able to complete a purchase of a handgun and transfer possession of that handgun to himself via an FFL in Florida.
I am making a joke about this because I guarantee someone on /r/FaggotGunOwners is going to claim Trump is breaking the law - we obviously know he's not taking possession of the handgun in SC because he legally cannot.
But I do wonder how situations like this are handled, when famous people or politicians are gifted firearms, how are the transfers handled?
I think OP is referring to the fact that Trump abused an executive order to infringe on the second amendment. We can like Trump and still recognize he makes mistakes, otherwise we're doomed to repeat them.
There will never be another like him. On policy maybe, but the charm, grace, humor and sheer determination and emotional fortitude of this man will never be matched. What a special time to be alive alongside this incredible figure. He will be remembered for millenia, and we get to support him in real time through the darkest days and celebrate with him, his inevitable triumph. All glory to God! Trump 2024 and beyond!
A lot has changed since then. Trump is a populist, not an idealogue, so if the people make it clear we want 2A restrictions removed he will listen and act.
as Trump just uttered her perv Mantra "Drill, baby, drill!"
as part of his plan to restore Americas Energy Independance
(within 6 months of his admin accepting office)
"Drill, baby, drill!" was a 2008 Republican campaign slogan first used at the 2008 Republican National Convention by former Maryland Lieutenant Governor Michael Steele, who was later elected Chairman of the Republican National Committee. The slogan expressed support for increased drilling for petroleum and gas as sources of additional energy and gained further prominence after it was used by Republican Vice Presidential nominee Sarah Palin during the vice-presidential debate. Former President Donald Trump used the phrase in response to a voter question during a CNN presidential townhall on May 11, 2023.
WASHINGTON — The Trump administration on Tuesday issued a new rule banning bump stocks, the attachments that enable semiautomatic rifles to fire in sustained, rapid bursts and that a gunman used to massacre 58 people and wound hundreds of others at a Las Vegas concert in October 2017.
Secret service sweatin'.
Blows my mind how they are able to keep Trump safe in the current climate.
He's surrounded by Secret Service agents who love him and are big fans... his security detail are not just 'SS Workers.'
Watchers watching the watchers who watch those Protecting the President.
Private money buys Protection unrestrained by regulations only by Law & instincts
Saucey
Yeah, nice working for someone who respects you and your family.
Well and most secret service agents are conservative just by nature anyway..... Biden and his camp probably had to search long and hard and get subpar candidates to try to find straight up super woke ones.... They probably had to settle for moderate ones that "just personally didn't care for Trump" lmao

My friend is marrying a secret service guy really soon, and he seems like a real good dude (he's a Biden hire too).
If they serve the enemy, they aren't good. So tired of hearing "not all ___ are bad".
Yes. Yes they are. They are the people that are just doing their job that will be shooting you.
Your a fool and a pawn
Wasn't Bongino SS?
Yes. On the Obama protection detail. Supposedly spent his time on duty outsode the presidential quarters reading Thomas sowell
No BS, if you fucked up or pissed off your boss in the SS you got put onto Hillary’s detail. Apparently she fucking hates the SS.
Yep from what I remember he even kept a lot of his personal security around until the point in which he trusted his secret service the same amount.......
He still has them.
yeah – when I heard that, I knew Trump was wise to the game
This is exactly it.
SS knows they aren't alone. How many MAGAdonians would take a bullet for GEOTUS? I know I would.
Without question.
I'd somehow get up and take 2
I’d fall on a grenade
I'd fuck Nancy Pelosi.
But would you threesome with Nadler?
I'll have to draw the line at falling on a grenade
Damn dude. You win. Well, not really.
Why do you think they are trying all that hard? You think SS is based?
Pistol getting waved all over around GEOTUS. I don't see what they'd be sweating about. /s
Wonder how many guns were furtively pointed at that dude, and for how long.
I'd have been much more comfortable with the slide locked back.
You'll get yelled at at the range not locking it back just walking to your stall!
Yep. I had family over at my place to shoot and I didn't like seeing guns with the slide/bolt closed. I have no idea if it was cleared and mistakes happen. I was handed a 40 cal gun and a magazine, the first round failed to fire. I couldn't get it to eject until I wiggled it out with a knife. I picked it up....9mm.
I thought same thing fren
Palmetto is a great company
They seem based AF.
The stunt they pulled when the ATF was on their bullshit about braces was pretty hilarious.
know which glock it was? gonna but same one.
Here it is on PSA, currently sold out. You can find them on GunBroker.com though. https://palmettostatearmory.com/glock-19-trump-threaded-barrel-9mm-pistol-flat-dark-earth-pi19502t.html

thank you
I ordered some random stuff from them in 2020. They accidentally sent me a 300 AAC completed upper. When I reached out to them about it to try and get the order fixed, they told me they were shipping out the correct order and to keep the free upper “for a future build”.
Really cool company all around.
Now that's some good business acumen. Here they are, getting a free plug out of it. Hope it increases their sales.
That's awesome.
WOW! Sweet, nice!
any idea how patient they are with newbies?
i can deal with hazing, I just don't need somebody losing their shit because I asked a basic bitch question, even though I'm only learning about this stuff, lol

What’s funny is the premium “pretentious” companies actually have pretty damn good support.

Companies like HK on the other hand are known for having such horrible customer service that they have become a meme (and this is coming from someone who owns over a dozen different HK firearms).
I haven't used any of their new SABRE line, but they sound like a step up toward mid tier.
I have more than a couple PSAs, and other than the AR10, I like what they put out. I just can't seem to dial in the gas system in the 308...
I built a commifornia legal 300acc From bottom up. It wasn't hard. 3 different you tube videos and i was good to go. WMD BEAST multi cal Has the nickle boron finish.

I made several fishing rods using PSA "lures". They are the best!!!
Same here, their Dagger single handed fishing rod is also really nice
I'd love a launcher to throw fishing nets into China Lake for maximum catches.
They'll buy them, post a ton of chest-thumping on (((Instagram))) about nOt OnE iNcH then willingly turn them over for the sake of their
socialcredit score instead of actually using them.There's always one around to try and get in some cheap shots.
The only shots you take are selfies with your $3k gucci safe queen.
They aren't cheap shots, they're honest ones.
He's absolutely right. It's all for show. Yall are too afraid to even call them guns anymore. Your ancestors and forefathers look down on you in shame.
I got my AR from them. They're fantastic.
ahem - mine identifies as a "cordless hole puncher" - don't be a bigot. Kek!
They refuse to do business with people in ct which is kind of lame.
Maybe it's because the people that run CT are kind of lame...
I bet they don't do California and a few others.
They quit WA as well. 😭
They are really sticking it to bleumenthal, murphy and lamont by not sending me an upper that is still legal.
Move already or kick Dick Danang Blumenthal out. His crew is causing your problems not PSA.
Pistol Braces: https://x.com/RSBNetwork/status/1706364262770253951?s=20

This particular video clip was cut short but I was watching it live on RSBN and after the video clip is cut he specifically says that the pistol brace issue will be an easy fix.
Yep. Just abolish the ATF.
THANKS for the sit-rep on the Pistol Brace "fix" stance by Pres. Trump !
Awesome. Good to hear that. God I miss this man in office.
Are you confusing pistol braces with bump stocks? Am I mistaken?
Yeah he signed the bump stock ban but a lot has changed since then and he seems stronger on the 2A now so we'll see.
Based on what?
He expressed his intention to protect pistol braces at PSA today. Also, he's a populist so he listens to the people and it is clear the message from the people is a stronger stance in support of the 2A so I fully expect him to embrace this and further reduce 2A restrictions.

THE 2ND PROTECTS THE 1ST
...protects all other [original] ammendments.
amen
Glow post
Fun short video clip of Trump interacting with SC peeps.
Thanks for sharing it, OP.
I'm glad I took the time to watch it.
Watching President Trump plus American Reals, always lifts my Spirits and strengthens my Heart.
Glad you enjoyed!
kek

Alec Baldwin missed that part.
How to make secret service shit their pants. hahahaha
Can you imagine how sweaty they must have been? lol
They had to have done a safety check for all to see before getting into this photo frenzy.
Ah, yes, the famed gun show loophole!
Another fully automatic ghost gun with a massive clip!
Correction: it's fully SEMI-automatic.
never forget this dumbass: https://youtu.be/5xVQXCL2JGA?feature=shared
He was a 3 star General in the US Army. Just goes to show the army has been going down hill for a long long time.
What about the shoulder thing that goes up?
INB4 they charge Trump with illegal purchase of a firearm. He's going to transport it ACROSS STATE LINES REEEEEE
But seriously, I guess PSA is going to mail it to a Florida FFL so GEOTUS can legally transfer it, or is this just a "sale" of a gun that's only for the cameras?
I think he was getting at the fact that you can’t buy handguns in a state where you don’t reside. Dumb rule
I think a federal court actually ruled that as unconstitutional but so far no FFL has had the nerve to actually see what would happen if they tried. I believe it was from a case that originated in Texas.
PSA sells those online, Trump would just have to give them a FL FFL's info to ship it to.
You are correct that some states recognize non-resident permits - South Carolina is not one of those states, so do not attempt to conceal carry in South Carolina if you're a Florida resident without a Florida permit but using an AZ or NH non-resident permit.

Boss Move...
What about the bump stock ban he did?
What about it?
I think OP is referring to the fact that Trump abused an executive order to infringe on the second amendment. We can like Trump and still recognize he makes mistakes, otherwise we're doomed to repeat them.
The OP fails to realize that THIS event alone will make Trump pro 2nd amendment than b4 where he listened to bureaucrats and did the stock ban.
Instead OP does what the left does, condemns Trump when literally Trump just got more Pro 2A with this meeting of ground people.
The Man with the Golden Glock
I wish President Trump would have held that Glock. Would have made a great meme.
Maybe someone can AI Trump holding the golden glock.
I just posted a picture of Trump with the gun. I found it here https://truthsocial.com/@ilpresidento/111127269145537510
Thank you!
Everybody needs to ask that question before spending money these days. "Do they like Trump?"
It is beautiful that an Attorney General is taking photos with a man that is looking at 500 years in prison if the left gets their way.
They are saying fuck you and your bullshit indictments.
Love PSA
Will be buying a 308 battle rifle to hunt deer.
Never know when you need 20 rnds for that prize buck.
If it's worth taking it might take 20rds. Galaxy brains detected.
How can anyone not love this man? He is wealthy beyond most, yet still a man of the people.
I wish we had hundreds more like him in Congress.
There will never be another like him. On policy maybe, but the charm, grace, humor and sheer determination and emotional fortitude of this man will never be matched. What a special time to be alive alongside this incredible figure. He will be remembered for millenia, and we get to support him in real time through the darkest days and celebrate with him, his inevitable triumph. All glory to God! Trump 2024 and beyond!
Yoo literally just bought a red dot and 1000 rounds from them. Love Palmetto!
He needs to address the bump stock ban
Indeed. Trump is a populist so he will listen to us we just need to be loud enough for him to hear.
Love PSA
indictment on gun charge from some Soros DA coming in 3....2....1
Soros DAs need to hang. Imagine how joyous an occasion that would be.
I buy lots of stuff from PSA
I used to til they started being mega ghey about Illinois and cook county
I have a few PSA products... big fan
Me too. They make good stuff.
BREAKING: Mary Garland charges Trump with straw purchase of a firearm. LOL
Lol. The guy that unilaterally banned a piece of plastic by calling it a machine gun is "pro-gun."
Ok, sure.
A lot has changed since then. Trump is a populist, not an idealogue, so if the people make it clear we want 2A restrictions removed he will listen and act.
Hey Faggot! It's not like he ever said that the government should take people's guns and then ask questions after.
Just when I think I can't love President Trump more, he does this.
uh oh, the establishment ain't going to like this.
Legally, Reeeeeee!
See how easy it is NOT to shoot yourself in the foot?
Guess not.
Which model did he buy?
I believe it's a Glock 19. Example: https://palmettostatearmory.com/glock-19-trump-threaded-barrel-9mm-pistol-flat-dark-earth-pi19502t.html
Too bad they didn't also put that design on Glock 30s. Because then you could get 45 on a .45.
Sarah Palin is probably smiling right now...

Can’t buy one since he’s not a resident of South Carolina. Plus he’s under felony indictment. Still cool though.
WASHINGTON — The Trump administration on Tuesday issued a new rule banning bump stocks, the attachments that enable semiautomatic rifles to fire in sustained, rapid bursts and that a gunman used to massacre 58 people and wound hundreds of others at a Las Vegas concert in October 2017.
Legit point but a lot has changed since then, and I believe Trump is stronger on the 2A issues.
Wrong. He supports red flag laws and doesn't believe in due process. He's very weak when it comes to the 2nd amendment.
He's a populist so it's up to us to see that he changes his stance on the things we don't want. He will listen to reason on these issues.
He ignored us when we tried to get him to back off from the bumps rock ban...
Wait, isn't he under "felony indictment" ...?
Indicted yes, convicted no.
I couldn't have guns while I was under indictment
Hmmm. Anyone know what the law is concerning this issue?
Notice he didn't touch the gun
There are literally pictures of him holding it linked in this thread.
Nice. Thanks.
