dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

> rugged individualist

> completely reliant on imports from China for all your rugged individualist equipment

say what you will about fudds, at least some small proportion of them actually know how to handload their ammo (although I would assume a ton of the gunpowder gets imported from China anyway)

why does it never fail to surprise me to find China somewhere on a supply pipeline, even the most AMERICAN thing like ammo?

All possible romantic partners have been married to Chinese nationals due to the war, sorry.

Just a way to induce demand and drive up prices

It's interesting that bullets are perhaps one of the most important civilian treats in the American economy.

I remember this lesson from COVID. IIRC, like ALL the primers for small arms bullets come from China.

.22LR gang wins again. During the COVID ammo shortages, it was the only round still widely available around here. The 9mm and 5.56mm immediately sold out or tripled in price. 7.62mm was totally unavailable and the other niche rifle cartridges were mostly for expensive big game rifles. .22 was still about the same price and a pack of 500 will last longer than I do if shit hits the fan.

the guys who jerk off about murdering someone in "self-defense" don't use it so they don't hoard it
