Gun culture changes

>>33476847
Agreed.
Also, it would be far less segregated
(I'm looking at you, AR-fags.)
People wouldn't ONLY give a shit about stuff that "only affects them"
Fuck that.

I hate that. I remember the shit storm between AR and AK guys during the 7n6 ban. I disn't even own an AK at the time and that drove me up that wall.

Same goes during the potential green tip ban. I get that people were upset that they didn't get support from the other side... but shit, two wrongs dont make a right, especially in that case.

>>33476918
Agreed. I would never own something like say, a Hi-Point, but I'm not going to shit on someone for owning one. Just makes gun owners look like elitist assholes.

An increased desire for unique/aesthetically pleasing guns. Like how the maxim 9 has a built in silencer and looks pretty futuristic. I'd love for there to be more new guns that aren't necessarily more effective, just neat looking.

>>33476847
I'd say my issue is is a more narrow version of >>33476885 and >>33476924 but more towards the old person issue. Half of those over 50ish tend to make it their mission to make shooting as unfun as possible by being either overbearing or extremely fuddy.

Not illegal at all, as long as you don't alter the serial number on the part legally considered the receiver you can do whatever you want.

Heck you could strip every mark off of a Ruger AR-556 and remark it as a 'BabyDozer 9000XL' with fire selector marks of 'Safe, Murderize, and Maximum OverRape' if it's what you wanted.
Just don't touch the serial number if you want your dog to live.

I think this is one of the worst parts of the gun community. But there is a ton of "I got mine" attitude in the community.
You see it in the 7n6 and M855 bans/attempted ban. You see it with fudds not caring if "assault weapons" are banned.
You even see it when it on /k/ when someone asks if a nugget for X is a good price and someone always chimes in with "I got mine back in 2003 for $35 and blowjob."

>>33476847
I'd make gun owners stop being cheap shits.

Make left wingers like guns more, And not just as a temporary reaction to not getting their way either, I want them to be genuinely interested in firearms for their mechanical, Historical, Practical, And fun values.
If all the trust fund babies decided they wanted to go to the range after starbucks we'd no longer have anyone besides (((THEM))) to worry about. And maybe watching the media demonize their new favorite past time would sway them even further our way.

Also make /k/ube worship a religion big enough to rival Christianity and islam.

Solution:
Pressed pulp insert with a sticker blocking the magwell and preventing travel of the slide/bolt.
It's cheap, and they can slap a safety sticker on it. Pressed pulp isn't that much more expensive than the tooling costs associated with the current process.

Everyone who owns a gun immediately accepts that their fundamental and most important function is to safeguard against political repression

>>33476847
I would work to make gun culture less polarizing.

As in, work to abolish the idea that if you own a gun you must be conservative or must be a republican. Or that owning one automatically means you support x or y.

>>33477641
Wrong.
You cannot intentionally deface any marking noting the serial number, manufacturer, or caliber. Even if you change the caliber.

I just want all people how like guns to support guns. No more hunting/sporting only bullshit or whatever. Just more gun= more fun please lord

The overemphasis on everything being "tactical"
What I mean by that is every gun advertisement nowadays always has a bunch of guys in full military/police gear doing oper8tor things.
Every weapon channel on youtube unironically has tactical, combat solutions, or anything of the sort in their channel name with a couple of fat white dudes with beards, neutral colored Velcro baseball caps, and 5.11 outfits running drills in their backyards with a bunch of expensive gear and toys while royalty free rock music is played in the background during a slew of slow motion camera shots and POV cutaways.
It was even more obvious while I was at SHOT show, I saw nothing but black polymer rifles and pistols at every booth, every gun was tactical, every holster was tactical, every flashlight was tactical, every boot was tactical, all the ammo was tactical, tactical, tactical, tactical.

>>33476847
I would get rid of all the LARPing about the Second Amendment. If you don't support arming actual militias and fighting another revolution, then you're not actually about the 2A. You're just a hobbyist who's afraid the gov is going to take his toys away.

These. The root of the modern authoritarian/complacent attitude lies in failing to understand or pay attention to the concept of liberty beyond one's immediate self, or personally taking pleasure in the destruction. Personally I suspect the latter behavior is a an attempt to exert power for the sake of not feeling powerless, but that hypothesis is based only on observations and some bitterness. The modern state of model aviation, for instance, is already buried under at least as much ban weight as firearms ever have been, and that all within the last few years despite no documented accidents and very few, if any, cases of privacy invasion. Nonetheless I see anons here asking which guns are best to shoot down their neighbor's kid's remote control helicopter that they call a "drone". The operator gets two messages. A)guns are bad, and B)anything you enjoy, someone else will try to take from you, if only for the satisfaction of taking it

And it's not just guns and "drones", this problem exists between absolutely every hobby that can't be conducted entirely in private. /o/ and /n/ are also good examples. Drivers and cyclists fight each other with legislation. Swaths of people who only want the government out of their hobby jump at the chance to attack each other.

We are being pitted against each other anons, even within this hobby alone. Liberty has to belong to everyone, not nobody but you. Even if that wasn't morally objectionable it would be impossible. Your will to preserve your interests while making those that make you uncomfortable illegal is only congruent with everyone else's. That sort of fighting is what's driving us towards the dead, inoffensive world of Starbucks and one night stands that we fear. It happened in the cities because of the proximity facilitated it, and we cannot allow the attitude to spread. Liberty is made out of tolerance

Please tell me there are not people who do this.
Most people who have guns from Nazi Germany do so because they wanted them and sought them out (Or had relatives bring them back).
I cannot think of someone just buying a gun and then realizing it came from the Third Reich.

Eventually, you get people who fondly remember their moms showing them how to shoot guns.

>>33479873
that's the difference between people who mock and "not get it" and people who "prepare" and get a gun and train with it before the crime happens to them. The difference is one will probably go through the experience while the other might not.

Of course there's a line between preparing and going off the fucking cliff with prepping.

>change anything about gun culture

faggot old guys at the range that give unsolicited advised.

guns aren't really that complicated to figure out, but for some reason every one of those guys feels like they need to "mentor" some stranger they have never met before.

it's one thing to own guns, and another altogether to master all the details and ins and outs, but ffs everybody tries to be an expert, and it comes off as obnoxious.

>>33479848
Guess it does. Interesting find. I figured most of the G98s were phased out but some reserve could have probably ended up with them, or later in the war it was put back into service and re-stamped.

But if someone's opposed to buying a gun specifically from Nazi Germany, chances are they're ignorant enough to write off all guns from Germany from any period.
Maybe the type of person who thinks "If it ain't American, I don't want it."

I want them to go viral. Sure, you'd get idiots in the hobby, but we already HAVE idiots. I want white basic bitches posing in yoga pants and starbucks in the gym mirror, beta cucks buying the same model as the object of their affection, white-knights refusing to cc anything that isn't a revolver because "muh honor." Make it a part of consumer culture. 9mm Luger for sale at gas stations, pick up some 5.56 at Walgreens after you drop Johnny off for school, swap 12 gauge loadings with your barber.

The 2nd Amendment is a right, as it should be, but I want it to be so integral to American culture that we could not imagine restricting it.

>>33476847
>If you could change anything about gun culture in America today, what would it be?
Liberals embracing the ability to effectively defend yourself (and thus firearms ownership as a fundamental human right).
If the Democratic Party would accept that gun control will never happen and wouldn't fix violent crime in America anyway (IE actually accept reality) and that gun control os a stupid hill to die on, they would have a supermajority in the US government.
As someone whose state and local government is full of pro-gun Dems (literally everyone here is pro-gun), they're pretty based.

>>33478012
You know this would lead to 500 dollar mosins... "It's entry level AND made by based commies? Where can I buy 5?"

I would completely remove all military association with gun ownership.

Most people usually associate being a huge militaryfag alongside being into guns. The same goes for cop culture.

I'm here just because I like guns. I don't identify with 90% of what you people are into, but other people will forever think I am.
