I recommend the VR80 shotgun. It is available in California - 12 gauge, semi-auto, uses magazines, and apparently uninstalling a pin near the magazine catch can allow the magazine to be released like a non-compliant. When compliant with CA’s restrictions, you can open the shotgun like a lever or split action, allowing the magazine to be removed. With a 9-rounder magazine, you can dole out quite a bit of hurt. Of course, you can go bigger if laws no longer apply.

The biggest issue with it, is that you need to shoot about 250ish rounds for the gun to loosen up - early on, it tends to have jamming. It should sing once you got in some practice. This shotgun is ambidextrous and patterned after an AR15, so you can attach assorted things to it, and readjust bits of it to suit yourself. I personally find the stock to be unergonomic, but again…if laws no longer apply, you can fix that.

Note, however, this shotgun requires a specialist technician for major repairs. It is something like a decade old, so that means the know-how is fairly rare. Aside from that, it is easy to care for everyday usage, like most shotguns.

I am debating what type of ammo to use with mine as standard. I want to be able to hit drones, while still being able to melt some armored ICE by hitting limbs. Probably a 000 load, since a militia realistically wouldn’t want to be too close to receive accurate fire. It will take me a couple months to figure out what is the right ammo for me.

I become a gun nutter, on account of all this bullshit.

It is pretty much the wild west now, isn’t it?

Only when no civvies are in the van. In that case, throw as you please. We want to keep the innocent safe whenever possible.

…honestly, that is one of the dangers of dark windows when it comes to the trafficking vans. 😨

…Whenever a van is seen, destroy the back windows, as many times as it takes to prevent them from being replaced. Glasswork factories and installers who are good people should vet whether a van isn’t destined to be used by ICE. Much as I like dark windows, they shouldn’t be a thing until this conflict has been resolved in our favor.

I bet that ICE are inherently cowards. Racists can’t take the heat, because their whole ideology is rooted in fear of the minority doing…something, anything, really.

Personally, I think government systems are actually a type of technology. Unfortunately, they aren’t the kind of research where you can easily experiment and iterate upon, since people tend to die in massive numbers if the experiment fails.
