The Question is rather simple: should I as communist (and a Brazilian) own a gun? I'm not going to lie, I like weapons and the art that is making them. That's the only real reason I wanted to get a gun license. I wanted to collect old Soviet weapons and maintain them for the sake of it.

I'm also new to socialism and communism in general, so sorry if I'm dumb by asking this

cheers, comrades

    From the US, probably a different situation. I personally won’t just because my family is very against having a firearm in the home. I respect their wishes because it isn’t my house and I have no place to disrespect that rule. That being said, I have been to my local range more than a few times and it was fun (aside from bullet costs obv) and I would recommend it to any that are comfortable with that. I wouldn’t suggest it to someone who fears being in the same room as a gun, not making fun of anyone, there are close family members I know who are like that and I don’t care what anyone feels about guns. If someone’s not comfortable, I won’t put them into a position they don’t want, but if they’re curious I would suggest using a gun with a light kickback. The AR-15 is famous for its extremely light weight , how little the kickback is and how customizable it is. It’s VERY fucked up that it’s been used in so many horrible crimes and terrorist acts in the US, but I seriously hate libs that think shooting one is paying an homage to the psychopaths that have used it unsafely in the past. It’s a good gun for getting used to larger guns.
