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.

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 5 points 4 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.

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 14 points 5 days ago (1 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.

[–] TigerAce@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 5 days ago (3 children)

So? Are they the only ones allowed to buy guns? Or is the second amendment also for the Trump haters?

When my government would turn complete authoritarian fascist, I would love it if I could just buy a gun in the local supermarket.

[–] Azrael@reddthat.com 5 points 5 days ago (6 children)

I'm assuming from the way your comment is worded that you're not from the U.S.

Blue states tend to have much stricter gun laws, as another user pointed out. For example, in California, "Assault Rifles" are banned. You most certainly cannot walk into a supermarket and buy an AR-15. As far as i'm aware, most major retailers including Walmart don't sell guns at all in California. Even handguns have a maximum magazine capacity. No more than 10 rounds. Much less than your standard Glock or Sig Sauer.

I'd also like to point out that "Buying a gun in the local supermarket" is a little bit of a misconception. It's true that some superstores sell guns, but they aren't right next to the milk and bread. They're in locked cabinets in a specific part of the store where you'll also find other hunting equipment. The whole point of a superstore/supermarket is that they sell everything in one place as opposed to the pre-supermarket days where you had to go to multiple different stores just to get your weekly shopping supplies.

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 6 points 4 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.

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.

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.

I'm reminded in this time that one of the reasons that Japan dare trying to invade the USA was "A gun behind every blade of grass." Helicopters, planes, drones can't hold positions. You need troops on the ground to hold a position to keep people in line. It's hard to to do that when you can be shot from any direction.

As well to me, if I'm facing the possibility of being killed execution style for just demonstrating or helping someone that was maced, I'd rather be armed. Even if I have little chance of surviving, that's better than 0.

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

Doomed if you do. Doomed if you don't. So might as well be a man and do what you believe in.

Who you gonna shoot? I'm serious. Stalin was a bankrobber. Haitians drove Napoleon's army into the sea with machetes. The Black Panthers took several pigs off roll-call. What's your plan, revolutionary?

[–] yermaw@sh.itjust.works 38 points 5 days ago (4 children)

Im not american but hopefully nobody. Their whole rationality for having guns everywhere all the time is that if everyone has a gun nobody needs a gun.

We, the rest of the world, think its a stupid idea, but if the government is literally killing people in the streets and declaring the murderers as heroes, its not looking so daft.

[–] Pixel_Jock_17@piefed.ca 14 points 5 days ago (1 children)

For the first time in my life I have considered a gun. I agree with your comment, it's typically something I don't need or want. I don't want my neighbours to want them or need them.

But here we are and it's terrible.

Simply being prepared for the worst is a plenty fine plan. Just, actually be prepared, don't just buy a gun and expect to know how to use it proficiently when the need arises.
