Not green, but sort of feels green

    it doesn’t look that complicated but I guess I’d have to have been born white in the states to have disassembled a real gun

      While white people do own a lot of guns, so do non-white people in the U.S. it’s something like half the white people, and a 1/3 of the non -white.

      Which is funny to think about with neighborhoods. If there are 125 houses in your neighborhood, odds are you are surrounded by 50 guns before you leave the neighborhood. Obviously it doesn’t always work that way because some neighborhoods are less likely to have them. (125 was the number in my neighborhood growing up, so I guess why that’s the number that popped in my head first)

        You’re talking about the number of people who have a gun, but not talking about the number of guns that they have!

          Well I do keep 6 under my pillow, 1 felt lumpy so I just flip them around trigger to trigger and it makes your pillow feel level.

          Edit to put /s

            American here

            No /s needed. It’s definitely more comfortable that way, as well as more efficient for going from zero to guns akimbo before your blurry-sleepy eyes can even clear up. And by the time you mag dump two of them and can now see cleary… you don’t even have to reload! Just grab the next pair and unload.

            6 is bare minimum, in my opinion. Gotta have at least 8 under an overstuffed pillow, so that you’ll have plenty of cover fire while you go for the armory that’s built into the boxspring

            Do you have a spouse? Cause now you’re rocking 4 at a time, with 12 more at ready… that’s before you even have to make a move for the heavier firepower

            Good luck walking into my house, cause I’ll be damned if the kids ain’t just as prepared… we make sure to teach 'em right and teach 'em young!
