Yeah yeah 'under no pretext', how important is the right for civilian firearm ownership or possession? Should the right to bear arms be a demand of the workers movement in countries where it doesn't exist? What about under socialism/communism, would there still be firearm ownership? How do we differentiate between US-style reactionary paranoid 'gun culture' and fetishization of individualism versus a collective right to bear arms?

Watching the latest NY shooter video got me thinking, how if at all possible could one survive a mass shooting? The first lady after he got out was doomed. The others seemed to be stuck with normalcy bias for a few seconds.

Is it better to run or to play dead, take cover?
Is normalcy bias bad, better to make a fool out of yourself overreacting to a nothingburger than to stand there in an actual shooting
Should one always walk behind some kind of cover in burgerstan? Seems like it is so common might as well

Just pull out your gun and shoot back at them. If you have nothing, then charge them. Running is for pussies. You'll only be shot in the back. Hiding is for pussies. You'll only be doubletapped.

Zardoz speaks to you, his chosen ones. You have been raised up from brutality, to kill the brutals who multiply, and are legion. To this end, Zardoz your god gave you the gift of the gun. The gun is good. The penis is evil. The penis shoots seeds, and makes new life, to poison the earth with a plague of men, as once it was. But the gun shoots death, and purifies the earth of the filth of brutals. Go forth and kill!

Now if only more mass shootings were like this and the dumbass gunman decides to fuck with some armed guards, then they might fuck up somewhere else. But this isn't the case because the US government stages shit like this. The only place where a mass shooter can succeed is in a gun-free zone. But instead you hear of nothing but these coward blacklists.

This is nonsense.

the Tu-4; It is obviously based on the B-29, that is not denied by anyone, however there are major differences in their construction.

Soviet engineers were tasked with reverse-engineering the several B-29s the USSR had in it’s possession; impounded USAF bombers (under the terms of the 1941 Soviet-Japanese Neutrality treaty) which were forced to land in Soviet territory after flying bombing missions against Japan.
The B-29’s fuselage was made of an 1/16 inch thick plates, or 1.5875 mm. The Soviets used a metric system, so there was no way or logic to produce/use such plates, only 1.5 or 1.6mm. This meant that it could not be applied directly to the original B-29 plans because of mass, length and rigidity changes in the air-frame. So Tu-4 air-frame was redesigned, (increasing and redefining size and dimensions) with the plating being made of 1.8 and 0.8mm plates.
Other differences also existed. The Tu 4 used 20mm guns in its defensive mounts, and later mounted 23mm guns, (both of which were far more effective at defense, having a longer range, able to contend in distance with the 30 and 25 millimeter guns of fighters of the time), and with a heavy enough hit to seriously damage attackers with explosive force, rather than the cleanly punched holes the .50 M2 left. Or the engines; the Tu-4’s ASh-73 radial engines were not copies of the B-29’s Wright R-3350 “Duplex Cyclone” radial engines as is often (falsely) claimed. The two engines were in fact separately developed from the same “grandparent”: the R-3350 was an evolutionary development of the Wright R-1820 Cyclone engine, whereas the ASh-73TK was an evolutionary development of the Shvetsov M-25 which was a licensed copy of that same engine. This common ancestry meant that many parts were similar or even interchangeable between the two engines, but the only component of the Duplex Cyclone engine which the Soviets actually copied was the turbo-supercharger unit. The Tu-4s engines did not include the R-3350’s lightweight magnesium-alloy crankcase, which increased weight but also eliminated the Duplex Cyclone’s infamous tendency towards engine fires so catastrophically hot that they could melt the wing spars in literal seconds. The differences are seen in capability as well. The Tu-4 was about 750kg heavier, 10 mph slower (big difference that is) and carried only 6000kg (Post too long. Click here to view the full text.

I don't know where I read it but I recall coming across a document that was outlining a possible operation by Canada to support the US in any sort of aid to civil power and vice versa. What Canada or Mexico could provide however is incredibly minuscule because I would assume both countries would be focused on securing their insanely long borders. Canada specifically would have to deal with a mass amount of refugees at its borders.

>>2749

75% desertion rate? That is way too generous. I can tell this poster is some knucklehead who is overestimating grunt talk as being some sort of measure for action.

Also why do these people assume "oh yeah they're camping all the time theyll definitely win in a civil war"? As if local forces also don't have knowledge of land, intelligence, and strategy?

Russia can barely support a war in Ukraine, they can't do much in an American operation outside of sending a few emissaries and spies. How would they get supplies in and from where? That being said…

This is all it took to defeat NATO for the Afghanis.

>old Chinese AKs

>ww1 era Lee-Enfields
>IEDs made from soda bottles and shit you can find at a hardware store

How these are manufactured:
>Kids are putting Drano, tin foil, and a little water in soda bottles and capping it up, then leaving it on lawns. When you go to pick up the trash, and the bottle is shaken just a little, in about 30 seconds or less it builds up a gas and explodes with enough force to remove some of your extremities. The liquid that comes out is boiling hot as well.

>Don't pick up any plastic bottles that may be lying in your yard or in the gutter, etc.


https://www.cityofkokomo.org/departments/police_department/warning_soda_bottle_bombs.php

>Homemade chemical bombs (HCBs), also known as acid bombs, bottle bombs, and MacGyver bombs, are explosive devices that can be made easily from volatile household chemicals (e.g., toilet bowl, drain, and driveway cleaners) purchased at a local hardware or grocery store. When these and other ingredients are combined and shaken in a capped container, the internal gas pressure generated from the chemical reaction causes the container to expand and explode. The subsequent explosion can cause injuries or death to persons in the immediate vicinity of the detonation.

>NaOH and aluminium

>HCl and zinc
both should explode due to buildup of H2 gas. hot HCl is almost surely worse than hot NaOH. however:
>KOH and aluminium
potassium lye is quite aggressive. neither of these are deadly. if you want be really dangerous you should do
>HCl and TCCA
this will build up Cl2 gas which, apart from exploding, will be in deadly concentrations within around a meter of the blast radius, depending on the mass of ingredients. in a confined space this will be far worse

 No.2798

Ingredients:
-A moderately thick glass bottle that will shatter on impact but won't break in your hands
-A rag made of flammable fabric cut into strips
-Some sort of fuel with a syrup-y consistency if you want it to stick well (a good formula is dissolving styrofoam in acetone and mixing the resulting solution with an equal amount of gasoline; the Finns that coined the term Molotov cocktail thickened their gasoline with roofing tar)
1. Fill the bottle with the fuel in an open air or ventilated space
2. Tape a strip of rag around the neck to protect your hands from the heat
3. Shortly before you plan on throwing it, dip one half of a long rag strip into the fuel while the stuffing the other half in the neck of the bottle, plugging it while leaving about 5 cm hanging out
4. Light the rag and throw
