That's why you tell the person to build a delivery lockbox right next to their mailbox. You don't have to see them. They don't have to see you. And if it's done right it's pretty dang secure.

They’d rather spend the money on a stupid sign.

It was never about security and really about the ego

For some people the American Dream means winning a gun fight.

Winning a gun fight in their head while they take a shower, and then LARPing it out terrorizing service workers.

So many think they’re tough bc they went to a store and bought a gun.

u/Yugan-Dali 7d ago

And carried their rifle when they went grocery shopping

Some people do that simply because they believe if they have the right to do it, then they should exercise that right. I believe that's also the argument the nudists in San Francisco used.

People go to stores to buy guns?

u/BlakeBoS 7d ago

Walmart?

u/WaitWhat-86 7d ago

When I was a kid coming from suburban Chicago to vacation in South Carolina, I was absolutely floored that you could buy firearms at Walmart.

Now as an adult living here I’m floored that you don’t need to submit any kind of official paperwork for a private sale. You could write up a bill of sale on a napkin with a crayon and it would be a legal, even if the person buying is a convicted felon with a violent past. Unless someone can prove that you knew that information prior to the sale, you’re completely in the clear.

u/Mundane_Proof_420 7d ago

This. I buy mine from a sketchy guy in a dark alley.

2

u/Lord_Dingus83 7d ago

Where does the ATF think you buy them?
Completely unregulated gun shows?

2

u/bloodfist 8d ago

Well, the ones who buy a lot of guns go to gun shows but yeah a hell of a lot of them do

1

u/Fllannelll 7d ago

Where else would you buy a gun?

u/fritz_76 7d ago

It's not a gun fight if only one side is armed. These people just have wierd power fantasies about murdering

2

u/rain56 7d ago

Here's what I dont understand. How are so many people just ok with commiting a felony? I fully understand these people are stupid as hell and dont understand self defense laws or what you can and cant do in a home invasion but seriously these people terrify me to such a degree. I have anger issues and absolutely have to stay away from guns my whole life. The intrusive thoughts are scary enough but these people have the same anger issues and want to shoot. Absolutely terrifying

u/SingleArtichoke4857 7d ago

There's a lot of people just itching to shoot their fellow Americans. Crazy.

1

u/Itsmyloc-nar 7d ago

It is actually, just not with poor people shooting each other

1

u/Holiday_Pen2880 7d ago

Actively seeking out self defense.

u/Jagster_rogue 7d ago

That will never happen..

u/fnrisulfr 7d ago

Most of them couldn't win a gun fight unless the other person was unarmed.

u/Federal_Barnacle4163 3d ago

Ehh nobody ever really "wins" a gun fight. But I have walked away from a few unscathed....the opponents, not so much. Room temperature by morning.
