Anon Gets Capitalized
-
I wonder if there's anything else you could 3d print that would help fight against corporate greed?

Also a great track by a great band
100% agree!

V for vendetta reference?
Doesn’t Warner brothers also get a kickback for each V for Vendetta mask sold because of copyright shenanigans?

Your point is valid but I think your figure is high.
There's a handful of states you'd need to have a permit which you can't get right away.
There's also the cost. Depending on where you look anywhere from 30% to 75% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck or are one large unexpected expense away from catastrophe. They likely don't have the expendable income to go spends hundreds on a firearm at any given moment.
This is why, even though there's somewhere between 300-500 million civilian owned firearms in the US, those firearms are owned by roughly 32% of the adult population in the country.

Hi-Point: The hole-puncher for the common folk.
Or auction house AK variants. Or strike old school fear into fascism with a Mosin Nagant or an M1 Garand (ping!).
Lol memes aside (and not judging!) there's hardware to fill the need at all price points. It's the ammo that's hard to keep up with! Also, safety (and skill) training could be a lot more universally accessible and applied.
The time to gain familiarity and proficiency is also a severely limiting factor, and of course the working class have less and less of it.
I think our general attitude and understanding about firearms (in the U.S/"West") has been intentionally poisoned into some bizarre right-wing fetish thing specifically to make sure level-headed, educated, reasonable people who weren't ultra-capitalists wouldn't be the group statistically holding a stupidly unholy amount of them.
I guess my point is: Capitalism will sell you whatever you like. But that doesn't mean it doesn't have a vetting process for its preferred audience. It simply adjusts the culture to make the very idea revolting to those it would prefer not selling to, and amplifying the signal to stupidly comical degrees to its target audience.

They're going after the anger dollar, that's a good dollar. We've done research.

A fitting soundtrack for that message would be 'Surprise surprise' by Billy Talent (lyrics wise).
I first found out about them through their collab with the lead singer of Weezer and they've quickly become one of my new favorite bands

Nice! You must be talking about 'end of me' then haha. Funny, for me its kind of the other way round, knew/liked BT for some time and then getting more into Weezer. Saw BT live once in 2022 and can recommend 100%. Will see them again for sure (and Weezer already just around the corner next month).

Ha! I'm already doing this. I have an account on a t-shirt vendor site where I upload some low effort anti-capitalism design every week. I dont make much money but I giggle my balls off that people buy it. Like a Che Guevara t-shirt from Hot Topic in the 90s... Some people just dont get irony.
Commerce isn't the same thing as capitalism.

Nearly 150 million adults in the USA can go buy a semi auto rifle right now
"Semi auto rifle."

You're giving off this kind of energy, dawg

It's a Guy Fawkes mask, and it's part of English culture.

Which is why anonymous moved away from this mask imagery like a decade ago. They have the question mark head in a suit.

Remember when Trump first got elected and Anonymous just suddenly vanished?
Lol, no. Anonymous had splinted years before then. Lizard Squad (the dipshits that DDoS'd Xbox live and Sony's online service for Christmas holiday in 2014 was one such branch).

Well, the Mosin, being a bolt-action, was a bit of a meme funny inclusion...
...but technically the Garand, and any AK/SKS kinda rifle, are (or can be) semi-automatic wherein a pull of a trigger discharges a single round. And yes, Hi-Point also makes rifle models Lol.
Companies like Kel-Tec also market to the civilian affordability crowd.
I dunno, was I missing the point of this emphasis maybe? Let me know if something went over my head.

Sorry, I was short on time and only glanced at your comment.
The Mosin is bolt action, as you indicated.
Hi-Point sells carbine pistols but I didn't see any rifles, and I'm not familiar with Kel Tec's offerings I'm guessing they're like Hi Point? This matters because in some jurisdictions those are sold as 'pistols' and require the same permitting.
As for cheap AKs or Garands, I haven't seen any of those since before Obama's first term. They are less expensive than a Springfield or Colt made Armalite style rifle but not cheap. I'd like to know where you live because I'd be happy to snap up a cheap Garand.
The least expensive semi auto rifles are going to be .22 caliber. Then we could get into the argument of if a revolutionary force was armed with a bunch of semi auto rifles, how capable would they be. At that point it's moot because in the US they'd be going against the US law enforcement and military which will be far better equipped, that big ol' 'defense' budget at work.
Ultimately it's a difference in wording. If the OP had said firearms then I'd have said 150 million is conservative.

Damn. I’m jealous. I saw Weezer live last October and I’d kill to see them in person again lol. I’ve been meaning to see BT in person too so maybe I’ll try and see them next

Awesome, must've been quite the experience - I'm pretty hyped for Weezer, too
Especially when they play the full blue album. Hope both bands will continue touring in the future! -

Hope both bands will continue touring in the future!the Blue Planet tour was awesome, I liked that it had a loose plotline to follow. i'm assuming they're continuing it for when you go to see them but it's definitely well worth the experience. I hope you have fun!
