A lot of gun fans try to persuade me to reconsider....I know what the most likely outcome is, and I'd like to avoid it. I don't care what other people do. I'm not responsible enough to own one, I know this. I have mental health issues, I know this as well. It's not me being anti-gun, it's me knowing myself well enough to know that owning one is not in my best interests. People should be happy I'm at least mature enough to admit that.

Being self aware is a very admirable trait. You are indeed showing a great deal of maturity and self control through your choice and that is to be praised.

Being self aware is great. Owning a gun for the sake of just owning one isn't a good idea in my opinion and I'm a gun owner who exercises his gun rights quite often. Kudos to you for knowing this and avoid owning one.  A lot of people will try argue but at the end of the day, you know yourself

I have to admit that I really like seeing the science of ballistics rendered as incredible as it is here with this video.

I agree. Being able to see the mechanism operate through cut-aways gives me a total machine-gasm to realize how simple it all really is.

Pretty sure it has to do with at least one of the two verboten topics.

People panic buying stuff again for reasons unknown other than lacking IQ from generations of stupid people having the ability to multiple faster than teenage jack rabbits full of hormones

Partially true.  Panic buying because of lockdown and political fears as well as factories not producing as much because of social distancing, quarantine and shutdowns.

Partially true.  Panic buying because of lockdown and political fears as well as factories not producing as much because of social distancing, quarantine and shutdowns.

Both are major factors, though some manufacturers are stating they are running at 100% plus and have added extra shifts to meet demand, but there are people buying and hoarding as fast as it comes in stock.  Really annoys me too, because I try and keep roughly 500 rounds per caliber I own on hand at any given time and even that's been hard to do.  I haven't gotten any range time in the last several months because I can't restock anything I want to shoot.  Powders and primers for reloaders are even difficult to come by.
My pain is that most of what I own is in the most common calibers (9x19mm, .45acp, 5.56/.223) - though I did recently manage a purchase of 5.56mm Federal, 200rds for $100.00, which was, for the current market, a decent price, since most 200rnd boxes are running $150 and up.

I know some folks that are literally buying anything they can get a hold of and stock piling, even if they don't have something in those calibers because they know they can sell it or trade it on the secondary market.

Ammo buying I foresee being for reasons that cannot be discussed on the forum.
