Yeah, this is how it works.

If you showed up to plant flowers, antifa would attack you and then the media would report "violent clashes between right wing aggitators and anti-fascist group"

Yes they can. They just print more and yours becomes worth less.

just tell her its a 90 gauge rifled slug shotgun. Or whatever the gauge of a .22 would be. I'm too lazy to do the math, whatever 1/(weight of a .22in lead ball) is

One of my biggest "two buttons" meme moments is when your choice is between hyper woke made in the USA vs foreign made.

I recently completed an AT thruhike (fuck the ATC), and all of my gear was made in the USA by cottage companies, but some of them got so retardedly woke I ended up buying a few things from japan just to avoid them. One company, USA Made, was donating 10% of their profits to BLM and I was like, yeah i'll just buy it from foreign communists rather than domestic communists.

It manifests itself differently in different optics, but a red dot has electronics in the bottom to bounce the dot against the glass. I'm guessing all the circuitry that hooks the power source (the battery) to the operating guts breaks. I mean I don't know many electronic devices that are going to be happy getting as insanely hot as a barrel can get.

How well does that rear sight replacement mount hold zero?

Also the cheapest upgrade that absolutely is worth it and you'll never go back is one of those extended safety selectors that allow you to operate it with your index finger.

it's common to mount optics on the gas tube. The gas tube gets ridiculously hot. Optics often don't like getting ridiculously hot.

How'd you get the grey finish on the AK, is that cerakote or rattlecanned?

Yeah, the Benelli M4 is a shotgun designed for combat situations, so it's gas system is tuned to operate with full length buckshot or slugs. I don't think they expect the military to be loading it with birdshot or shorty shells any time soon.

a Benelli M4 is basically a top of the line semi-auto that is subject to 922 laws (foreign import laws, it's from Italy) so it doesnt come in it's normal format (limited mag tube) and is extremely expensive. Running around 2000 usually. Where as a still extremely high quality semi-auto shotgun from a respected manufacturer is often around 700-1000, like a mossberg 930 in 18in format (shortest non-NFA barrel length) holds 7+1 by default, with a tube extension they can hold more, but it makes your gun really long and is basically just a 3-gun competition thing.

Reliable semi shotguns these days are actually quite common and cheap, but a benelli m4 is kind of the gucci tactical option.

Yeah, violent leftist rioting is making former conservatives flip and vote democratic. I don't know a single conservative who's done anything but galvanize their beliefs or lurch to the right politically over this insane leftists mess.

"hello there's a man robbing my store with a gun."

"Have you tried deescalating conflicts that are connected to systems that perpetuate underlying violence problems?"

You don't need to specify the Congo since the entirety of Africa is a lawless shithole

People who unironically say this can never explain why or how it is a strength, they've just been trained like circus animals to repeat it

I like how this is just a needlessly wordy way of saying "I voted for Bernie cause he promised to make you pay my bills"
