I just recently did the same. Not murder someone, but went ahead and picked up a few guns. Truthfully, the orange pedophile fan base crowd scares the shit out of me. I live in a republitard state and the amount of assholes here is enormous. So. They have guns. They think they have all the power. Fuck it. I'll protect mine and what I believe in just as zealous as they do. And if it comes down to it. We will see who's left.

Make sure you get plenty of range time in. Nothing beats muscle memory

I plan on it. First thing is taking them in to get cleaned and inspected by a gun smith. Since 3 of the 4 I have were bought privately. Then either going to an indoor range, or if the weather stops raining for a minute then heading to the place I normally shoot and see how they perform. I do have experience shooting, but haven't owned my own firearm for a few years.
