Save money, stay in practice with the handgun and the rifle. Consider the upgrades to the 10/22 to make a training rifle and going to an Appleseed class.
Down the line, start buying the parts for an AR. Piece by piece when they're on sale. Use gun.deals, /r/gundeals on reddit, etc... Or just wait for a good deal on a build kit from Palmetto State Armory. The Kenosha Kid didn't slot those commies with a 1500+ rifle. He did it with a budget rifle and a budget optic.
People who make the argument about not needing Christian or Western morals universally come from a culture with a Western tradition of morals. Like a fish, they don't think of the water. It just is.
Expose them to a culture without such a tradition, and they'd come around quickly. If they survived.
This, gas settings. When I got my chinese knockoff AK shotty, I went all in on the upgrades from Carolina Shooters Supply. Reliability kit, gas system upgrade (from 2 to 4 settings), stock/pistol grip with recoil absorbing spring.
Shoots low brass shit ammo just fine now. And its super duper fun.

Its going to suck.
First gun I shot, Winchester pump action .22lr. First gun I bought, a .40 caliber carbine, that I no longer have.
In fact, I have no firearms anymore. All were tragically lost in a terrible boating/skydiving/fire/earthquake/accident/incident.
Question for our peeps. Why is the DNC YT channel, beating the RNC convention YT channel. We should be crushing their pathetic numbers.
