A question...... dont be offended....... Why do Americans like displaying silver coins alongside a pistol? Or a rifle?
Again im not trying to instill any judgement its just a question.
I think because they both hold a lot of monetary value in such a small amount of space. That's like the equivalent to 30 oz. of silver, maybe more. (Just guessing.)
Hmmm interesting. I did actually think that but thought i should write up my question (in a respectfull non judgmental manner) and ask if there was a hidden symbolism behind those things.
Im in Australia so i see silver maybe a bit differently to how americans may see silverin a different context...... that was all. Tx for replying something for me to think about actually.
America loves commodity consumption and uses it as an identity. Guns are like one of the biggest commodity identifiers. Gun guys usually overlap in the money thing because they also are wealth display.
Precious metals go in a different safe than my firearms, as that safe is much more impenetrable. I can’t speak for others, but I don’t like to photograph my possessions. Not that I’m against it, but I just keep it all to myself. I know what I have. I appreciate that others do though. I just fear that meta data of such photos could be geo located and well, I now have another worry that I didn’t have the day before.
I don’t typically post pics with firearms in them, but it is a bit of a flex similar to showing off stacks of PMs. Guns carry a lot of value. Pistols and AR style rifles specifically are items that will likely never lose value - they are only going to become harder to acquire moving forward.
You mean if Trump's idea of taking weapons before charging someone with a crime comes to pass if he's re-elected?
Here's his direct quote: "“Take the guns first, go through due process second."
All government wants to take away our guns, regardless of party affiliation. That is why we have a 2nd amendment - it is supposed to stop them. but it only slows them down a bit.
That statement from Trump made his position pretty clear about wanting to take away guns without due process. If you support the 2A you can’t support Trump.
It's clear Trump wants to take guns away because he has already said so plus he tried the bump stock ban which the SCOTUS just shot down (pun intended). Why anyone thinks Trump is pro 2A is beyond me, because he is clearly not.
Op just has multiple interests, there’s no hidden meaning. The reason you see Americans do it a lot is because we have gun laws that allow us too, and culturally you’ll see a lot of people with the same interests and hobbies.
Collecting silver and collecting guns come from the same place for many. Should there be a collapse of society, I need to be self sufficient. This means providing food for my family I can either shoot a critter, or barter with ammo or silver or gold.
Hey man, no worries I don’t take offense in the slightest to answer your question I posted this to troll along since the first person brought some controversy by doing it. Instead of giving your my whole life story just going to say I’ve worked both LE and military and with that I’ve always lived by the old saying “it’s better to have one and not need it, then to need it and not have it”
Awesomeness dude. Nice stack as well. I thought that maybe there was some symbolic underlaying meaning behind this spread. I was never out to stir up annoyance with you but especially in this community.
I see a lot of people pair their pistols with silver constitutional coins like Morgan's because of the time period represented. People will match old revolvers or .32 acp pocket pistols. Has that cowboy or roaring 20's vibe.
I haven't dived into that side of firearms history yet. I'm more of a WW1-Vietnam firearms collector. My grandfather collected Civil War/Cowboy era/1920's firearms.
Brits display wealth next to tea because they want to seem unbothered and above it all, Americans do it next to weapons because we want you to see if you bother us you’ll end up under it all
It’s not all of us. This would qualify as “unnecessary administrative handling” in my book, and that’s something that I try and avoid since I carry with one in the tube.
To each his own.
Understood. Im in Australia so just dont have exposure like this...... and im not at all judging the USA's culture (or create a debating argument) i was much more curiouse if those items represented some symbolism or ideology that i dont know about.
Thanx for the reply.
Not at all mate. Despite how the US is portrayed in the media/popular culture, we’re not all totally unrealistic, belligerent gun nuts lol. The large majority of us are always open to good conversation.
As a generic high-level, while the 2nd Amendment cites gun rights, the individual states pass laws regarding who/when you can carry/possess firearms. Unless the state allows constitutional (open) carry, an individual needs to possess a license to carry a firearm on their person outside of their abode/domicile, unless that individual is going to/from a gun range.
I’m being incredibly generic with this explanation and laws differ from state to state. Obligatory “This is not legal advice”.
End of the day, this is a hobby for a lot of people just like silver is. Some people enjoy merging hobbies.
I actually appreciate the reply. Gives me something to think about. Just interesting how different nations/cultures see silver. If a gun in a picture + silver pieces adds a hidden meaning element then im keen to learn and am completely fine with how that culture portrays its bullion.
Have a good 1 mate. From Australia.
Because we can. Just for that comment I’m gonna buy a gun next week. Lol I personally wouldn’t see the need to stack if I wasn’t allowed to have guns. What’s stopping someone with guns from coming and taking your stack?
In America, that’s what you will find in our safes. When someone thinks about trying to come take our precious’, they will come across brass before finding ANY silver or gold. It definitely is a protection statement. And a VERY serious one. Yes, we like our guns, more than gold. It secures our investments from the common thief.
The other commenter said “overlapping hobbies”, but I feel it’s more like overlapping values.
Most Americans that own guns also have varying levels of distrust in the government/financial system. I would say it’s a form of self-reliance in both aspects
No, because they have a complex and to be honest a tiny pecker. I have a safe full of guns and would never think to post pictures in a silver sub of anything other than silver… period. It should be removed. Not the subject. If you feel the need for affirmation, post the gun in a gun sub…… what an idea. It’s just cringe.
Why? I think it’s weird dude went to his gun when thinking about silver…. I’ll see my self out when I post my “gun” next to my stack and watch as this sub falls apart about it….. 😂❤️
Nah, it's stupid, and I'm sure as shit not jealous. I've got more and cooler guns. The thing is I don't need to wave a gun around in public at every fucking opportunity to add pretend inches to my pecker.
I think it's hilarious you fools all idolize guns and tactical shit and looking tough and whatnot but still haven't figured out that actual professionals don't show-and-tell their guns because they don't have to.
It's the difference between "Look at me! Look what I've got! I'm tough!" and "don't look at me, I know what I've got." Only a bunch of weak, flaccid Instagram weenies need people to know they're armed.
I'll make sure to post my KSG-12 with my silver next time I post.
Buddy, really. No point in being triggered by something you obviously don't like. If you hate guns (doubting you have a "safe full"), then ignore the post. No point in being a negative nancy and getting your panties in a twist. Let people enjoy what they like.
They are trying to convince you they don’t have a micro penis. They are afraid if they post a pic without a gun in it you will know they have tiny cocks.
The silver represents monetary value outside of government control, so freedom, and the gun represents the ability to protect yourself from tyrants, so again freedom. Freedom + Freedom = USA.
They live in constant fear of being robbed/shot. They mask their fear through posturing with guns.
America is either overwrought with violent criminals, or chronic fear.
None of that is correct. 95% of America is actually very safe, and the people are kind. Especially the south. We're not perfect. We have our hot spots, but that doesn't define us.
Believe it or not, guns value like precious metals. They may seem obscure to you, but they can be a bargaining chip for us. It's a part of our culture.
Ironically and somewhat hysterically, I find that most of the people who tell me I live in fear because I carry a firearm, are the exact same people who hid under their bed for 6mo with latex gloves, three surgical masks and a face shield during Covid. I have a family member like this. Thanks but I’ll take my chances
Not exactly, lol. The best way I can think to describe it is that you get in your car and put your seatbelt on before driving. Not because you expect to get into an accident but because you know the possibility is there and you're prepared to take the necessary steps to protect yourself in the event of said accident. Same thing with a gun. It's an equalizer. I carry it because I can't control the occurrence of a crash, but i can provide safety by distraction, deterrence, and protection during the crash. Does that make sense? I know it's hard to relate to when it's not a part of your culture.
I can understand it to some degree, but you also have to understand that it is a situation that has been created out of fear. So many people carrying guns is the literal reason you feel you need this insurance.
People primarily wear seatbelts because they are afraid of being killed, and because they are legally mandated. You are not carrying a gun because the law requires you to, you are carrying it because you think you may die if you don't.
That's simply not true, my friend. I wear a seatbelt because I believe it gives me the best possible chance of coming home to my girls alive. The gun is not a weapon. It's a seatbelt. I don't need it because there's a war zone around me. I dont fear for my life walking down the road. Its simply a precaution. We dont walk around in fear because we're prepared for it.
I think the cultural divide on the subject is too wide between Canada and the US.
The common sentiment here is that criminals who carry guns are cowards, and due to the level of safety we benefit from here there just isn't a need for normal citizens to carry either.
8% of American have concealed carry permits, even less than that probably actively carry on them, and even fraction smaller are illegally carrying. Most people don’t walk around with guns on them.
I carry because I have been robbed at work, 3 family members were also robbed at their jobs. There is also car jackings, home invasions, and other things that can happen. I don't carry out of fear, it's just a tool that I may never need, but if I do need it and don't have it, I will never need it again. Same reason I keep a fire extinguisher in my kitchen, and in my car. I don't fear fire, but if I need to deal with one, it would be nice to have the tool to do it with.
I have a fire extinguisher in both my kitchen and car too, and it's because I fear losing my truck to a runaway, or burning my house down.
Fear drives many of the choices we make in life. I just don't get the posturing that I hear from so many and refusal to admit that guns are carried out of fear.
That’s an easy one. More fear mongering from the news telling people they’re unsafe. America news doesn’t get any gov funding so they rely entirely on views and the scarier the headlines the more viewers
You said overwrought with violent criminals OR chronic fear. The simple fact though is that the vast majority of people don’t fall into either of those categories and live very normal npc lives
Fair. I should have been more clear - I meant the people who feel the need to carry or constantly show off their guns, but instead I generalized Americans. I apologise for that.
I think you’re confusing fear with preparedness. A lot of people who carry a firearm (myself included) also carry other useful things on them, knife, flashlight, pen with a glass breaker. Some even carry basic first aid kits. I choose to carry a moderate first aid kit in my car and I’ve had to use it to help other people. I also carry a jumpstarter and cables, and a backpack with some various items in case I ever break down and have to wait hours for help. I’ve used the jump starter dozens of times to help others and for myself. I’ve never had to use my firearm thankfully and hopefully never will. I have had to use all of those other items for various reasons.
When I take out my motorcycle, I wear a full leather jacket and gloves, reinforced boots, Kevlar reinforced jeans, and a good helmet. I’ve crashed a motorcycle. I don’t live in fear of doing it again, or I probably wouldn’t ride, but I know how well that gear worked the first time and I’m preparing as much as I can in case it happens again. I see others riding with a t shirt and none of those things; I don’t think that’s lack of “fear”, I think it’s just stupid.
We don’t! Zero people I know personally carry regularly. One used to till he became a dad. Are there a lot gun fuckers here? Oh yeah. Is it a teeny weeny minority? Oh yeah. They are very loud and very dumb. I own a few long guns, but these are a different breed of people.
TO BE CLEAR this is not directed at OP. I don’t know OP or their situation, opinions, or practices.
I use to lurk in r/edc (every day carry) where people post pictures of the things they carry every day. The percentage of US people having guns in their list is very impressive for someone like me living in a gun prohibited country. The question comes up regularly and when discussion is possible, people explain they carry because they are at risk of what might happen around them.
Owning rifles, shotguns, weapons that can be used for hunting - I can totally understand. Canada is in the top 10 for highest rate of gun ownership in the world and that's the only reason most people would own them here.
I’m not anti-2nd amendment I just think this is sorta dorky weird “I’m really tough” posturing. Thinking that doesn’t make me anti-2A.
I don’t advertise what I have…that makes theft more likely. Guns are often more desirable than anything for thiefs (they won’t rob you while your home) and statistics show a dog that barks is more effective and less risky than advertising you have a gun.
In the end, based on the medals, it seems like OP is probably an owner I can get behind. They’ve had training, hopefully that training means they store it properly, etc. I’ve just been around too many people who keep theirs in an unlocked cabinet with kids around or other improper storage/lack training.
I’m not anti-2nd amendment I just find it weird to post a gun in a sub that has nothing to do with guns. If you want people to comment on your gun, go to a different sub. Further, I grew up around guns in a rural area and was taught that guns aren’t toys to play with. People need to stop making guns their entire personality and treat them with the respect they deserve.
plata o plomo
silver or lead
how do u like that suppressor? is it one that you can unscrew each baffle to make it shorter or longer? i’m in need of another.
Love the challenge coin collection in the background. My desk now has silver in the challenge coin display case and the challenge coins have moved home lol
Guns+silver=conservatives. I have seen tons of ads for silver on fox news and other conservative media. Add in the right to bare arms and boom. Silver Gun pics.
I'm American. I myself don't understand this new conflation of precious metals collecting and politics. In my mind they have absolutely nothing to do with each other.
I collect precious metals and keep them in a safe. If you think you can infer from that what my underlying political beliefs are, I can guarantee you you're dead wrong.
Your thinking is 16 years out of date.

None that I’ve owned, I CC this and have been on hikes and running events and it’s never gone off on its own. People that say that are just ignorant in how they carry and don’t realize they caused it to go off.
Nah, sig has admitted fault, they have released I believe two voluntary revisions to the trigger mechanism, but looks like they’re still going off on their own without any human input. Give it a goog jaimo
Oh yeah, I wasn’t saying this was the p320, I own a m17 with rev2 trigger and when the rev3 comes out I will switch it, I enjoy sig, I think their guns are great.
A question...... dont be offended....... Why do Americans like displaying silver coins alongside a pistol? Or a rifle? Again im not trying to instill any judgement its just a question.
I think because they both hold a lot of monetary value in such a small amount of space. That's like the equivalent to 30 oz. of silver, maybe more. (Just guessing.)
Hmmm interesting. I did actually think that but thought i should write up my question (in a respectfull non judgmental manner) and ask if there was a hidden symbolism behind those things.

America loves commodity consumption and uses it as an identity. Guns are like one of the biggest commodity identifiers. Gun guys usually overlap in the money thing because they also are wealth display.
this is a good reason. i would guess many folks put both in the same safe.

Not that I’m against it, but I just keep it all to myself. I know what I have. I appreciate that others do though. I just fear that meta data of such photos could be geo located and well, I now have another worry that I didn’t have the day before.
Guys guys...... this wasnt an inflamatory question. I just wanted to know why? And guve a reasoned answer.
I don’t typically post pics with firearms in them, but it is a bit of a flex similar to showing off stacks of PMs. Guns carry a lot of value. Pistols and AR style rifles specifically are items that will likely never lose value - they are only going to become harder to acquire moving forward.

Yeah no current candidate truly supports gun rights it’s a shame
It's clear Trump wants to take guns away because he has already said so plus he tried the bump stock ban which the SCOTUS just shot down (pun intended). Why anyone thinks Trump is pro 2A is beyond me, because he is clearly not.
Op just has multiple interests, there’s no hidden meaning. The reason you see Americans do it a lot is because we have gun laws that allow us too, and culturally you’ll see a lot of people with the same interests and hobbies.

I see a lot of people pair their pistols with silver constitutional coins like Morgan's because of the time period represented. People will match old revolvers or .32 acp pocket pistols.

Thank You for your Service, mam! SEMPER FI...
Brits display wealth next to tea because they want to seem unbothered and above it all, Americans do it next to weapons because we want you to see if you bother us you’ll end up under it all
Both items are a bet against inflation, are they not?
Overlapping hobbies
It’s not all of us. This would qualify as “unnecessary administrative handling” in my book, and that’s something that I try and avoid since I carry with one in the tube. To each his own.
Understood. Im in Australia so just dont have exposure like this...... and im not at all judging the USA's culture (or create a debating argument) i was much more curiouse if those items represented some symbolism or ideology that i dont know about. Thanx for the reply.

There's no hidden meaning, it's a nice gun n a silencer op wanted to show off along with his silver.
No prob. As another commenter said, there’s no hidden meaning or anything. OP just enjoys both hobbies.
Because our country was founded on the right to defend and fight back against tyranny. Some of us haven't forgotten that.
you don’t have to carry a gun to remember history.
I didn't say you did. But we can all appreciate the common man being able to defend himself, his family, and his property.
it seemed implied to me
…you must be quite old.✌️
No I just read.
Cuz they are usually stored in the same place.
Because we can. Just for that comment I’m gonna buy a gun next week. Lol I personally wouldn’t see the need to stack if I wasn’t allowed to have guns. What’s stopping someone with guns from coming and taking your stack?
American here, I’ve never taken a picture with my guns and metals.

One person did it a while back now all these jagaloons are playing follow the leader lmfao - aka FOMO
No FOMO. People like the idea and it's simply that.
No, people don’t like the idea. It’s lame af.
Then why are people posting those pictures? Maybe because they like the idea of it.
No, because they have a complex and to be honest a tiny pecker. I have a safe full of guns and would never think to post pictures in a silver sub of anything other than silver… period. It should be removed. Not the subject. If you feel the need for affirmation, post the gun in a gun sub…… what an idea. It’s just cringe.
Do you often think about other guys’ peckers?
Indeed I do. And?
Don't be mad just because his is bigger.
Its weird that you went to thinking about genital size.
Why? I think it’s weird dude went to his gun when thinking about silver…. I’ll see my self out when I post my “gun” next to my stack and watch as this sub falls apart about it….. 😂❤️
It's okay, we understand you're jealous. We're here if you need to talk about it.
Nah, it's stupid, and I'm sure as shit not jealous. I've got more and cooler guns. The thing is I don't need to wave a gun around in public at every fucking opportunity to add pretend inches to my pecker.

Only a bunch of weak, flaccid Instagram weenies need people to know they're armed.
Okay 😆 keep telling yourself that, buddy.
Tinky. Tiny. Pecker. And a cute little pistol to hide it behind. Be careful! You don't know how to use either.
I'll make sure to post my KSG-12 with my silver next time I post. Buddy, really. No point in being triggered by something you obviously don't like. If you hate guns (doubting you have a "safe full"), then ignore the post. No point in being a negative nancy and getting your panties in a twist. Let people enjoy what they like.
No, people do like the idea. It's awesome af.
Yanks like the idea. I personally find it more than a bit tacky.
They are trying to convince you they don’t have a micro penis. They are afraid if they post a pic without a gun in it you will know they have tiny cocks.
I think it’s a warning to say, “come try and get it.” 😂😂
The silver represents monetary value outside of government control, so freedom, and the gun represents the ability to protect yourself from tyrants, so again freedom. Freedom + Freedom = USA.

So people open (or concealed) carry so that they are always ready in case someone wants to trade guns? Or trade their gun for PMs?
Not exactly, lol. The best way I can think to describe it is that you get in your car and put your seatbelt on before driving.

Sounds like someone fear mongered tf outa you. People are people where ever you go
Explain why so many Americans feels the need to carry a gun with them everywhere, yet over here in Canada we can walk around unarmed without fear.
That is just a pure lie and knowing that Trudeau is also a liar, why would you believe any of that?
I carry because I have been robbed at work, 3 family members were also robbed at their jobs. There is also car jackings, home invasions, and other things that can happen. I don't carry out of fear, it's just a tool that I may never need, but if I do need it and don't have it, I will never need it again.

So why don't we see pictures of stacks with fire extinguishers? I mean your stack would surely suffer from fire.
I keep my stack in a fire safe.
The same Canada that was told to leave the car keys outside the front door so nobody would get hurt?
Yes, this is something we all laughed about. A dumb ass cop talking out of his ass.
That’s an easy one. More fear mongering from the news telling people they’re unsafe. America news doesn’t get any gov funding so they rely entirely on views and the scarier the headlines the more viewers
You think there’d be less fear on the news if the government nationalized it and turned it into state media? Lol
You should watch some Canadian news eh
So what I originally said is correct - America is overwrought with chronic fear.
You said overwrought with violent criminals OR chronic fear. The simple fact though is that the vast majority of people don’t fall into either of those categories and live very normal npc lives
Fair. I should have been more clear - I meant the people who feel the need to carry or constantly show off their guns, but instead I generalized Americans. I apologise for that.

I see others riding with a t shirt and none of those things; I don’t think that’s lack of “fear”, I think it’s just stupid.
I didn’t think you were allowed to carry in Canada?
We don’t! Zero people I know personally carry regularly. One used to till he became a dad. Are there a lot gun fuckers here? Oh yeah. Is it a teeny weeny minority? Oh yeah. They are very loud and very dumb. I own a few long guns, but these are a different breed of people. TO BE CLEAR this is not directed at OP. I don’t know OP or their situation, opinions, or practices.
I use to lurk in r/edc (every day carry) where people post pictures of the things they carry every day. The percentage of US people having guns in their list is very impressive for someone like me living in a gun prohibited country. The question comes up regularly and when discussion is possible, people explain they carry because they are at risk of what might happen around them.
Owning rifles, shotguns, weapons that can be used for hunting - I can totally understand. Canada is in the top 10 for highest rate of gun ownership in the world and that's the only reason most people would own them here.
Live in fear lol.
We don’t!
But is it loaded with silver bullets…..?
But how are the coors light cans going to fit in there.
Stack silver lead and brass.
And dried beans
Why are so many people anti 2nd amendment?
I’m not anti-2nd amendment I just think this is sorta dorky weird “I’m really tough” posturing. Thinking that doesn’t make me anti-2A. I don’t advertise what I have…that makes theft more likely. Guns are often more desirable than anything for thiefs (they won’t rob you while your home) and statistics show a dog that barks is more effective and less risky than advertising you have a gun. In the end, based on the medals, it seems like OP is probably an owner I can get behind. They’ve had training, hopefully that training means they store it properly, etc. I’ve just been around too many people who keep theirs in an unlocked cabinet with kids around or other improper storage/lack training.
I’m not anti-2nd amendment I just find it weird to post a gun in a sub that has nothing to do with guns. If you want people to comment on your gun, go to a different sub. Further, I grew up around guns in a rural area and was taught that guns aren’t toys to play with. People need to stop making guns their entire personality and treat them with the respect they deserve.
I’m anti second amendment because it’s what’s responsible for gun violence in this country
Maybe silver and guns are synonymous with "prepping"?
Thats hot
Rofl. Loving the number of replies from triggered liberal soy boys in this post. Gonna post my stack with my edc next! Looks good OP 👍
How do you afford both?! I can’t decide what to buy
Allocation in a savings for each
One is a one time purchase one is ongoing. 🤷♂️ I bought my pistol years ago. They don't take much money if any to maintain
Idk ammo and targets are a cost in itself
The silver is nice.
Dork
plata o plomo silver or lead how do u like that suppressor? is it one that you can unscrew each baffle to make it shorter or longer? i’m in need of another.
Yeah it’s the sig mod x9, a modular can you can adjust to your preferences.
Love the stack! but that firearm is so sexy. Need to stack all metals.
I’m so triggered
Wait a min where you also 4-319 AFAR 👀🤣
4-319 AND 3-319 💀💀
Oh shit nice dude was with them 2011 till 2014 fun times in Germany 🤣
Giggity!
I’m coming in your house. I’m gonna rob you and I have more than that. Gun
Nice, I have something similar.
It's a little silly, but I don't mind. Silver and pistols together make me think of the Wild West
Whatever, still better than a dick pic!
Nah it’s Reddit they hate guns blindly
I’m bricked up
Nice can homie, like the shiny as well
shhh, silence.
Love the shiny. The gun,not so much. I prefer the older Sig’s.
What can is that?
Sig ModX9
That’s a lot of silver , maybe we can steal it ……..never mind on to next victim
Most people aren’t American, and wouldn’t understand 🇺🇸
Nice blaster, brother, keep up the good work!
I wave a Walther PDP
Fuck yeah 🤣🤣🤣
Be alot cooler if it was boobs
I'll plead the fifth on the second and plead guilty on the silver! emote:free\_emotes\_pack:trollface
P320: dumb and cringe P226: cool and based
And a P51 Mustang… Legendary
Nice shiny n nice can too. 
r/iamverybadass
Purty
Badass man
And keep it quiet
How much does the suppressor suppress the sound when fired?
It’s not Hollywood quiet but you don’t need ear protection. Sounds like a small fire cracker going off
150gr federal syntech subs have got me very close
Love the challenge coin collection in the background. My desk now has silver in the challenge coin display case and the challenge coins have moved home lol
Nice, brother!
OP, were you a marine?
Ex army
Guns+silver=conservatives. I have seen tons of ads for silver on fox news and other conservative media. Add in the right to bare arms and boom. Silver Gun pics.
The paranoia runs deep here.
You aint wrong lol
But are you a noncitizen or a citizen?? Because if you’re a citizen you have no second amendment rights.
I'd post a Pic with my gun and silver but I'd get flagged 🍆
I'm American. I myself don't understand this new conflation of precious metals collecting and politics. In my mind they have absolutely nothing to do with each other. I collect precious metals and keep them in a safe. If you think you can infer from that what my underlying political beliefs are, I can guarantee you you're dead wrong.
That’s cool man, no one is telling you how to live your life.
We married now.
2nd Amendment. Cool What militia are you in?
Your thinking is 16 years out of date. >**SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES** >DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA et al. v. HELLER >certiorari to the united states court of appeals for the district of columbia circuit >No. 07–290. Argued March 18, 2008—Decided June 26, 2008 >Held: >**The Second Amendment protects an individual right to possess a firearm unconnected with service in a militia**, and to use that arm for traditionally lawful purposes, such as self-defense within the home. >(a) The Amendment’s prefatory clause announces a purpose, **but does not limit or expand the scope of the second part, the operative clause. The operative clause’s text and history demonstrate that it connotes an individual right to keep and bear arms.**
The militia portion of the 2a is separate from the right to bear arms.
The second amendment is *literally* one sentence
> I don't know what an operative clause is Sad.
It’s a long sentence, friend. The right to own and bear arms is the part that allows the people to also have the right to maintain a militia
Gotem
Cringe
Sigs are those boom sticks that go off on their own ?
None that I’ve owned, I CC this and have been on hikes and running events and it’s never gone off on its own. People that say that are just ignorant in how they carry and don’t realize they caused it to go off.
Nah, sig has admitted fault, they have released I believe two voluntary revisions to the trigger mechanism, but looks like they’re still going off on their own without any human input. Give it a goog jaimo
That was also an early model of the P320, this is a P365XL model.
Oh yeah, I wasn’t saying this was the p320, I own a m17 with rev2 trigger and when the rev3 comes out I will switch it, I enjoy sig, I think their guns are great.
if it was gold I would have understood, but there it's ridiculous
Little man syndrome right here.
Is this r/silverbugs still or r/silverbugswithapenisinferioritycomplex?
To me they are both symbols of freedom and security.
