So ive said a lot of shit about America since their dive into insanity. But I’ve ran into relatively normal people that now view America as a pure enemy. Like really calm people that have told Americans to their face that if they step into canada, with the intention of invasion, they will be met with a bullet to the head. And more then a few that legitimately know how to cause mass destruction. I don’t think our neighbors to the south really understand just how fucked they made this relationship. I’m just understanding that my hot head position isn’t too far from the norm.

I forgot to make this interactive, really what I’m saying is have other people ran into this? Where your gut reaction of let’s end them as a country has now bled into the people around you that you wouldn’t think thought like that?

    Yup, I’ve talked to quite a few normies who are mostly on the gun control side of things who are now considering getting a PAL to go practice at the range so they “know how to handle a weapon in case the need ever arise”.

      Suggest shotguns and rifles. Handguns are the thing you use while you get your real gun. Shotguns are for home defense. Rifles are for country defense. Take the firearms safety courses that are offered, and train with the thing. I sincerely hope you never have to use it, but my fellow countrymen are being idiots again. I’ll be down here defending Mexico if it comes to it, but I know that some of us will join in a defence of Canada. Most fucked up civil war in history.

        Yes, that’s what PALs get you. For handguns you needed an RPAL, but that is no longer possible. Mostly because the PLC couldn’t be arsed to blame the US for the illegal guns coming across the border.

        The safety classes aren’t “offered”, they are mandatory.

      normies […] who are now considering getting a PAL

      The repeated threat of invasion creates an exception to the norm. This shouldn’t be hard to understand. People can be for gun control AND want to prepare for duty.
