    I’m actually thinking of buying a gun, which is crazy because I’ve been opposed to them my whole life.

      The most effective weapon in Iraq was IEDs. I would never advocate anyone learning how to make one, but if you wanted to defend yourself from an American invasion this is how the Iraqi resistance did it

      Drone. Buy a drone and learn to use it well. Join a club. Learn how to navigate. Lots of us have guns. Multiple guns. You can have one of mine.

          We should be courting a weapons deal with Ukraine months ago when all this started. We are each in the same boat right now. Working together would only help each individually.

      Me too. I don’t think guns are usually necessary but it seems like the US is swiftly moving towards violence against the exact demographics of people who are my friends.

      If I were the government, as a contingency plan I’d have a shipping container full of weapons in every census block in the country.

      Sure, we’d lose the battle, but that would make holding Canada impossible.

        There’s already roughly ¼ of the Canadian population that has a registered firearm. That’s like. Nearly 10 million people. If half of them decided to actually go guerrilla, and a good portion of the rest of the population decided to run support. It could easily be an un-unfuckable situation for the US.

      I’m just now starting the process of getting a PAL. We’re going to buy a shotgun and some sort of rifle and a good scope. I don’t know anything about rifles and best calibers so that’s going to take some research.

        You don’t have to worry too much about calibers, it’s basically splitting hairs. 12gauge for the shotgun, and for the rifle go with what can be found everywhere: 308, 30-06

          Yeah, that’s what I was thinking. I assume most of those rounds are going to be about the same for the meat on the receiving end. I have to look at see what rounds are allowed at my local shooting range and pick from that.

            Yeah they all (centre fire calibers) do the same thing when it comes down to it. Swedes hunt all their moose with a small 7mm round. Take a look at the ammo available in walmart, Canadian tire, the countryside gas station and choose one of those. Nothing fancy

      Check your local hunters association, sometimes they will run PAL training for free/by donation
