I have a .177 scoped air rifle that does pellets and BBs, super cheap, but surprisingly accurate

I probably shouldn’t browse that site. Lol. But I have no interest in purchasing a “real” firearm, yet I like to stay in practice. Keep my aim steady. Just in case…

There used to be a show called “Preppers” here. It was all about people who would prepare for some stupid apocalyptic scenario. People would say shit like “I’m preparing for the global economy to fail”, or shit like “I’m prepping for the fall of the government and invasion from foreign enemies.”
Most of the times, those people were sorta crazy. And they were prepping for terribly unrealistic scenarios that are EXTREMELY unlikely.
Then there was one guy who was prepping for the one event that I always felt COULD happen.
A huge solar storm that knocks out the worlds power grid for at least a couple years. This is totally plausible.
The Carrington Event was the largest solar storm recorded in 1859. It cause a worldwide auroral event, meaning you could see the “northern lights” all around the world.
If an event like that were to happen today, it could knock out the worlds power grid for at least months, possibly years.
That means no refrigerated foods, no working gas pumps, no Internet, no cell phones, no easy interstate or international travel or even communication.
Shit would become chaotic pretty quickly. As soon as the grocery stores were depleted, and they weren’t being restocked due to the infrastructure breakdown, it doesn’t take long. Once people ACTUALLY become hungry. Like REALLY hungry. I don’t know how many people in this country have gone over a week without any real food…
Shit would break down into chaos fairly quickly. Especially when people realize that there are no actual consequences for their negative actions.

I mean…I dunno if I would need a “real” gun if I had something like this
.357 caliber, 910fps, includes three magazines, side lever action repeater with about 13 shots per tank at optimum velocity on a full tank of air.
I guess not being semi-auto is a disadvantage in home defense, but still.
Seriously, how is this legal??!
Sorry for the politics post deletes folks, some complaints & this place is just too nice to pollute with all the trolls and bickering that would follow.
Are we still friends?

Aww, thank you.You ALWAYS have the cleanest rigs and the best looking stuff!!
Very inspiring!! I'm ready for a dab!
I try not to overheat the glass and wipe out the banger after each us. It helps to have spare banger too
I understand the frustration, I really do & think we are all feeling it for one reason or another.

Yeah, it’s pretty crazy. No background checks, just anonymously purchased on the internet. No need to register.i'm wondering too.......something like that on the streets....idk man.....
Worst part about it? It also comes in a .45 caliber, it’s just out of stock at the moment

Yeah, you can see we shifted it over to the realm of legal killing machines fairly rapidly instead. It’s all good, I had to vent, and I vented.

Anything over 500fps is considered a firearm here. I have one on my keychain and one in the door handle of my car.

Where does it go?
Haha, that’s one of my favorite percolator designs for bongs. I wouldn’t imagine they would put it in a nectar collector…lol
