RIP School Survival Forums
August 2001 - June 2017
The School Survival Forums are permanently retired. If you need help with quitting school, unsupportive parents or anything else, there is a list of resources on the Help Page.
If you want to write about your experiences in school, you can write on our blog.
To everyone who joined these forums at some point, and got discouraged by the negativity and left after a while (or even got literally scared off): I'm sorry.
I wasn't good enough at encouraging people to be kinder, and removing people who refuse to be kind. Encouraging people is hard, and removing people creates conflict, and I hate conflict... so that's why I wasn't better at it.
I was a very, very sensitive teen. The atmosphere of this forum as it is now, if it had existed in 1996, would probably have upset me far more than it would have helped.
I can handle quite a lot of negativity and even abuse now, but that isn't the point. I want to help people. I want to help the people who need it the most, and I want to help people like the 1996 version of me.
I'm still figuring out the best way to do that, but as it is now, these forums are doing more harm than good, and I can't keep running them.
Thank you to the few people who have tried to understand my point of view so far. I really, really appreciate you guys. You are beautiful people.
Everyone else: If after everything I've said so far, you still don't understand my motivations, I think it's unlikely that you will. We're just too different. Maybe someday in the future it might make sense, but until then, there's no point in arguing about it. I don't have the time or the energy for arguing anymore. I will focus my time and energy on people who support me, and those who need help.

I've seeing a couple of firearm threads pop up recently in other threads. So I decided to make a thread dedicated to these things that spit metal really fast.
Want to show to show off your custom-made AR or Zastava M-70? Want to get a gun but don't know where to start? Want to start a flame war over gun control or start a flame war over if the 9mm or the .45 ACP is a better cartridge? Come from a foreign country and you want to bitch about how American gun laws "aren't strict enough" or how you wish that you could actually own a firearm in your country? This is the thread for that.
I currently have a 1943 Mosin, a Remington 870, a Ruger .357 mag, a Marlin .30-.30 and I plan on getting a SKS, a AR-10, a Colt 1911, and some Russian or Serbian model of an AKM in the future.
gun control in some states/districts is waaay too fucking strict (like California, Colorado, Illinois (particularly Chicago), Jersey, New York, Connecticut, D.C., etc) and some places wanted to be even more strict (Illinois, Columbus, OH, and others (for wanting to ban gun stores from being within city limits)

I thought there was a firearms thread somewhere on here...
And I doubt many of us own guns. I personally still have to go to local PD and fill form for firearm license. Unfortunately, based on other people's experiences, it takes my city pd 4-5 months to process because they only have two officers handling the paperwork, and one of them is actually at the desk working on it(the other is the guy that stands at the counter as front desk person).
Plus getting it into house is another story if I ever bought. My mother freaked when I got a sword. Can imagine her reaction if I bought a rifle(even if it was a simple .22, she'd never really understand the difference between it and a tank cannon).
Realistically, I want to get a Ruger .22(obviously the rifle would be the 10/22). I've always been in love with the Ruger Mk2, most likely because of a unique WW2 stealth pistol with similar visual appearance that caught my attention.
As for home protection or whatever, I'd love to get a lever-action shotgun(which there is basically only 1 ever desgined...the Winchester 1887. There are only a few companies that have actually made replica models with the ability to fire modern rounds. The Chiappa 1887 is one of em:
This is an ancient account I have not used in a long time. My views have changed much in the intervening months and years.
Nonetheless, I refuse to clean it up. Pretending that I've held my current views since the beginning of time is what we in the industry call a lie. Asking people to do so contributes to moralistic self-loathing. "See, those people have nothing damning! I do! I'm truly vile!"
Because you can never be a good person with a single blemish on the moral record, I thought that simply entertaining some thoughts made me irredeemable. Though I don't care for his writing style, William Faulkner presents a good counterexample. He went from being a typical Southern racist to supporting the civil rights movement. These days we'd yell at him for that, probably.
People are allowed to change their views.
Nevertheless, this period of my life has informed some of how I am today. In good ways and bad ways. To purge it would be to do a disservice to history. Perhaps it will not make anyone sympathetic, but it may help someone understand.
If, after reading all this, you still decide to use the post above as evidence that I am evil today, ask yourself if you have never disagreed with the moral code you now follow. In all likelihood you did, at some point. If some questions are verboten, and the answer is "how dare you ask that," don't expect your ideological opponents to ever change their minds.

Trying to apply for my carrier's license (covers both open and concealed). I want a SIG Sauer P227 (.45 ACP) gunna carry it around on a shoulder holster under one of those specially made jackets to avoid printing.
Its expensive tho (~$1100) even though I can afford it. I got my eye on it but I'll keep my options open.

I wouldnt say middle finger. When Browning suggested making a shotgun, preferably with pump action (which he considered the best design for a shotgun), the Winchester management told him they wanted a lever-action because Winchester was brand known for its lever action weapons. So Browning didnt bitch or half-ass and made it work. Course a few years later, Winchester was like "eyy the 19th century ended lets do something new" and ditched the lever action obsession and let Browning build his pump action.
Samuel Colt may have ushered evoltuion into firearms with multiple shots in a practical design, but Browning basically designed so advanced that we still use basically most of his designs in modern firearms, especially pistols which are literally copies or improvement based on his design. Colt made the revolver, Browning made the future.
Kalashnikov just gave the proletariat a fighting chance with his cheap, reliable, and effective AK design.
Stoner is questionable since Direct Gas Impingement didnt work too well and still possess some disadvantages, though the SR-25 he made later on in life proved to be a reliable and accurate weapon.

All the ones I've seen were at least $800 bucks.
You better not be referring to the tumblr type, because they're not feminists, they're pseudofeminists, or female supremacists you could call them
ACTUAL feminists wants equality. They want privilege and demean others for it. They're hypocrites and morons.
Point is, not feminists.

Just went to the range with my sis. The desk lady said I needed to be 21 to sign her cause she was a minor (16) but the manager knew who I was(along with the entire staff thanks to my frequent visits and decent stream of guests) and let me sign anyway.
Nice place. Wish I had more cash to renew my platinum but Ill probably have to get silver till I make enough money to renew. I didnt go often last few months but its a nice friendly place. Great gun choices, and a well-stocked VIP lounge.
