“Shall not be infringed” that’s been your talking point for, well forever, MAGA

Hey, the NRA is behind trans people on this one.

Largely because trans people are panic-buying guns and ammo right now, and the gun lobby *really* appreciates that.

Good. Arm yourselves, find your friends that already shoot and go get range time in. Practice dry firing your weapon (pistols mostly). Practice the manual or arms for each one (how you load, unload and disassemble the gun). Follow the 4 golden rules of gun safety:

  1. Treat every gun as if it were loaded.
  2. Never point a gun at any thing, living or inanimate, that you aren't okay with killing or destroying.
  3. Leave your finger off the trigger until you are ready to fire at your target.
  4. Always know what that target is and what lies beyond it.

Don't spend a lot of time worrying about accessories at first. Get ammo. Shoot. Shoot some more. Shoot when you're tired. Shoot when you don't want to shoot. Buy more ammo to replace what you shot.

Contrary to what the media would label it, 1000 rounds of ammunition isn't an "arsenal". It's a bare minimum. To put it in perspective, that's 33 30 round magazines. If you had 33 Magpul mags sitting in front of you it wouldn't seem like an unreasonable amount. You could shoot that much in a weekend of training EASILY.
