I am a fan of the Walther p99 as. Also make sure you know the difference between range ammo and home defense ammo. Don't waste your money sending the more expensive home defense/carry ammo down range except testing it and every now and again so you are familiar with it.
I was pretty timid at first as well. Going to the range helps a little, but I found when I got my first gun reading the whole manual, stripping, cleaning, and really learning everything about my gun made me feel significantly more comfortable. I wasn't worried about it magically going off because I know what would cause it to happen and why.
I suggest for every firearm you buy you read the manual, get comfortable stripping, cleaning and reassembling it. Always treat it as loaded, clear it, then get a feel for the trigger. This is what people mean when they say "play" with your gun until you feel comfortable with it.
Plus always make sure you use gun safety rules even if you have cleared your firearm, have never bought any ammo and know for a fact there is none in your home. Make those rules/actions become second nature.
Inflation is worse than taxes because it punishes savers and lowers the quality of everyone's life year over year indefinitely. It is the 8th wonder of the world working to screw everyone except the asset holders on top.
It's because we provided funding to the U.N. to subsidize postal services to developing countries so people really could get mail anywhere in the world. Obviously globalist and china abused this and used it to use our money to undercut our businesses so Trump ended funding for the program early 2019 when he found out if I remember correctly. It wasn't widely reported on because even pro-Trump personalities done always fully understand the economic importance of some of his actions.
We have seen study after study showing girls on the right are hotter and we have better relationships (both getting married and in the bedroom.) limp dick is a left wing problem when they haven't cut them off completely.
It is even worse than just an increase in cost.
There is everything in there: changes in licensing, making both public and private schools gun free zones so schools can't protect themselves, 7 day waiting periods, increasing the age of owning a firearm, increased restrictions on "assault weapons", how you store a gun in your own home, restrictions on certain accessories and high capacity magazines, restrictions on buying multiple firearms at once, and more.
This is massive gun legislation and selling it as just an increase in cost is wildly underselling it.
