This week, two views on being a new shooter. First this reddit post: Advice for a reluctant, but prospective liberal gun owner. It's well worth a careful read. OP wants to buy a gun, but has some cognitive dissonance about that desire. Specifically: "I would like to purchase a semi-automatic rifle in a caliber where ammunition will always be plentiful, but with the goal to be in strict compliance with the CA laws on such weapons, which I wholeheartedly support. I would prefer to not purchase an AR-15 as I don't want to support that platform in any way, though I understand that this is really just a gesture. I am thinking something like the M14 or the classic M1 Garand as their stock magazine sizes are closer to the CA limit, but am very open to your advice."
