My armor piercing bullets (NATO 5.46) and magazines for my AR-15 just arrived in the mail. First time i mail ordered bullets. Gotta love Ameroca.

@freemo Man it's been over a decade since I shot an AR-15.

@djsumdog

They are a really fun fun to shoot. I love how they are a light rifle, so they wont make your shoulder hurt or throw you back, but still pack a good punch and handle so well.

@freemo i'm still undecided if i'm disliking that guns are so heavily regulated here or if i like it this way (i don't really trust many people). on the other hand, cars are as deadly too _and_ i enjoy watching forgotten weapons & hickok :ablobblewobble:

@bonifartius I dont trust people either, problem is I trust military, police, and government far far less than I trust your average citizen, so my lack of trust is part of why i support guns.

The other factor for me is I have never once been around a citizen with a gun who made me feel threatened because they had a gun in any way... meanwhile I've never once felt very safe around a cop carrying a gun, least of all when they have their hand on it ready to go.

@freemo the cops here tend to be rather chill, never had any problems with them (or fear that they might shoot me..). i understand the point of not giving away that power to the government though.

for now i have my air-rifle, enough to shoot old cans :ablobtonguewink:

@bonifartius I feel the same about Duitch cops, I never felt scared of them or threatened. One reason I am less worried about having my gun rights taken away int he netherlands is because I feel less threatened that the government or cops will turn to full on tyranny and I need it.

With that said I still lean towards wanting my right to own a gun which i see as a funemental right, as is the ownership of most things.

@freemo M855 isn’t really armor piercing. The steel penetrator was originally intended to defeat dense brush cover in a jungle environment.

@ThreeOneThreeChris Yea I know, its just what people call them . I dont like the term either

@hanswolters What do you mean?

By the way when you reply but dont actually tag me like you just did I wont see your response as it wont notify me. Only saw it cause I clicked on another persons response.

@hanswolters

Oh, no, I'm not. Unlike american police they have never threatened me, lied to me, or cheated me.

I can tell you that most Dutch think they are pussies. They are not when it comes to trouble but it is different from all the places I have been too.

@freemo They are still overrun with Armored Knights over there? :ms_broadsword: 🐉

@dv8 The hard part is seeing them, its too dark to see a knight.

@freemo Knight vision glasses 😎 (thanks for the layup :ablobspin: )
