  • You can make one with home depot parts if you needed to.

    Not really. You could shove some freeze plugs from the auto parts store into a capped length of iron pipe from the hardware store, but the tap to thread it onto a muzzle isn’t something you’ll find in either store. And good luck getting all the holes to line up if you’re trying to do it with a hand drill or a drill press. In the end, you’d have a real piece of shit, weighing down the front of your gun for little benefit.

    You’d be better off not bothering until the local machine shop starts selling nice ones, along with full-auto conversions.



  • Shotguns are not a good buy. A standard 12 gauge has significantly more recoil than typical rifles, a lower rate of fire, significantly less range, smaller magazine capacity, and lower reliability due to the construction of the ammunition. It is also completely ineffective against hard armor plates that are now ubiquitous.

    Suppressors are cool, but they’re not all that useful. Most people would not have them, so hearing protection would still be required. Simple foam ear plugs are the most effective, and very cheap. Electronic muffs with a pass-thru microphone and speaker system can be had for as little as $50, allowing you to hear everything around you other than the gunshots.

    The purchase order for someone trying to make themselves a player in a democracy, is a semi-auto rifle, preferably an AR-15, a dozen magazines, ammunition, electronic muffs. Following that, a sling, an optic, a way to carry magazines on your body, ceramic armor plates. You can consider a pistol, a baton, around the time you’re getting a first aid kit, a radio, a helmet.


  • the administration cant subdue one medium sized midwestern city.

    They’re not trying to. In fact, they are explicitly trying not to. The whole point of the rapid expansion of ICE, the untrained government thugs, the unlawful tactics, is to instigate violence. So Trump can declare martial law, and deploy the military against the citizenry. They’re not trying to hide it, Trump himself keeps talking about declaring martial law, there’s no reason to not be aware.







  • ”I was at home that day. I heard the gunshots, the horns, I came outside, and I ran into someone who shouted at me: ‘She’s been murdered,’" recounted Letitia Meyer, who lives in the predominantly Latino neighborhood. “Since then, I’ve been coming here every day, and I’ve joined the ICE observer groups to defend our neighbors. ICE didn’t expect this, for us to be as organized as we are, but we’ve been through this before.” It was just a few blocks from here that George Floyd was killed by a police officer in 2020, a murder that sparked the largest anti-racist protest movement in the United States in decades.

    The entire point of what ICE is doing is to incite rioting in a Democrat-controlled city in a Democrat-controlled state, to manufacture a crisis to provide an excuse to expand Federal power. What ICE didn’t expect was how passive people are. Running around with rape whistles screaming “Fuck you” isn’t something that scares these thugs.
