Hello folks.

For reasons unrelated to this post I believe everyone should get into the FPV drone hobby. People with minimal constitution can get great results - especially gamers!

A radio controller is about $150, and can be used with many great simulators on steam. Once you are comfortable with the simulation, invest in a (few) drones. Most of their parts can be 3D printed for cheap, and the rest bought from Chinese companies for cheap.

It is a lot of fun to fly around in the first person view. I hear they are very popular in Ukraine for some reason.

[–] CADmonkey@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Funny you should make this suggestion. I've been having a grand time figuring out how to make drones, can confirm it's great fun for the whole family.

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago (2 children)

What if i wanted to combine my two favorite hobbies of guns and drones? How would I go about fusing them in some kind of way?

[–] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 6 points 2 days ago

Synthetic black powder is fairly common and is great for all sorts of fireworks and such. Drone shows should really incorporate more powder.

You can be non-peaceful and be non-violent.

Disturb the fucking peace, you don't need a gun for that. In fact having a gun with you might make things more dangerous.

Nobody is shooting at ICE, weapons do not help. They only make you feel like you are prepared while achieving nothing.

Now, spiking tires with nails, a car breaking down, blocking the street ICE wants to take, punching a nazi... that's way more effective, easy and (slightly) safer.

Fuck "the right to bear arms", you don't need legal weapons, do illegal shit, fuck their peace up. Do not let them sleep, eat or work. Be disturbing the peace, be gay, do crime. You do not need weapons, you don't need violence, you do need to step out of line and stop being peaceful.

Peaceful can be ignored.

Look to the yellow vests in France for inspiration.

Funny thing is, if an armed populace is utterly incapable of doing a single damn thing as the gun banners say they are, WHY do the authoritarians in charge of these powerful modern military still banning guns?

[–] BanMe@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago (10 children)

Same reason they only come out when surrounded by bulletproof glass or in sniper-controlled areas now. They don't want to be individually targeted.

Now it's interesting to imagine what would happen if hundreds of officials were individually targeted, but having a bunch of guns at your house ≠ that. Still the issue of targeted suppression exists, and would be highly effective.

If you burn down a neighborhood, if you shoot an RPG or a drone at a house, none of the guns inside matter, except they make it more lethal as you try to escape. They also make your house more unsafe for kids and yourself (statistically).

Arming yourself up defensively just doesn't do much. If they want you dead, they're gonna do it in a zero-casualty-for-them way. They can do that en masse, they can do that in rural or urban areas. They train for that 24/7. They love that.

Arming yourself offensively, well that's something else. I don't know if that's what's being suggested when this issue comes up though.

Cops shouldn't have assault rifles either, they're not the military. I find the second amendment so fucking dumb. It's to rise up against a tyrannical government. But since you have it, precisely now is the time to use it. Helloooow? Why don't you use it? You have a tyrannical government full of pedophiles. All those decades full of innocent deaths, all so you can keep your precious second amendment, just in case you reach a point you are in now. Well, go ahaid then, prove all those deaths were worth it. Bunch of self-centered uneducated hypocrites.

[–] Azrael@reddthat.com 11 points 2 days ago (10 children)

I agree with you. The issue is that the people who have been fighting to keep the second amendment are the ones who are siding with and enabling the government. The pro-second amendment people are the ones who voted for Trump in the first place.

COPY/PASTA

In the US we have the Second Amendment. The fascists have been the ones screaming and yelling about the Second Amendment, but the truth is that all Americans have the right.

Owning a gun isn't enough. Driving to Cabela's and picking up a vermin killing .22 rifle is not enough. You should buy a proper rifle, a pistol, and a knife or baton. (Bonus points for a shotgun) Then you need to train with said rifle, pistol and knife/baton. Go to a range and shoot. Look for local self defense/hand to hand combat with a weapon classes and train.

I am not advocating for violence...far from it. But I am advocating for knowledge because owning a weapon and not knowing how to use it is a recipe for disaster.

PS: If you can afford it, buy suppressors and/or active hearing protection. Especially for your rifles. Suppression for the common citizen isn't about stealth like in the movies, it is about protecting your hearing. Guns are LOUD. Much louder than you expect. Suppressors might be out of reach for most but quality active and passive hearing protection is not.

Familiarity is important, training will save your life.

Get an IFAK and go to a stop the bleed class https://www.stopthebleed.org/

If you’re currently versed in Firearms and are able to start a chapter, or if you are lucky enough to live in an area with a local chapter the SRA is a good organization. However they are apparently fractured and their politics may not align. https://socialistra.org/

https://www.blazingsword.org/ is better for LGBTQ+ anarchists that tend to not get along with Tankies.

A more decentralized option could be a John Brown Gun Club https://www.counterextremism.com/supremacy/john-brown-gun-club

Good basis of organized tactics. The guide below is more about organized movement than direct fire. Below will NOT help you in a firefight as it relies on a much larger trained force than you are likely to have. Good to know what the bastards study though. https://www.trngcmd.marines.mil/Portals/207/Docs/TBS/B2F2837%20Rifle%20Squad%20Tactics.pdf?ver=2015-05-27-100939-710

I like not being a gringo.

I like living in a normal country.

I like living in a country that's not controlled by a cabal of pedofiles.

Ok to points 1. and 2.

But where is this Shangri La you speak of?

Spoiler, the British cared more about Indians than this administration cares about its citizens.

Gandhi was non violent and unarmed. But he WAS NOT peaceful. His protests were absolutely poison for the colonial economy and he broke several laws and had stints in prison during his time.
