We obviously can't prove a counterfactual but I think it's entirely possible the legacy media would have just went with the "bird strike" theory and the real story of Russia shooting the plane down may never have been exposed without social media. Who knows but there's 0 doubt we were several days ahead of the legacy media on this one...
"Russian President Vladimir Putin apologized to Azerbaijan for the "tragic" downing of an Azerbaijan Airlines plane on Christmas Day, but he stopped short of saying Russia was responsible for the crash.
"Vladimir Putin apologized for the fact that the tragic incident occurred in Russian airspace and once again expressed his deep and sincere condolences to the families of the victims," the Kremlin said in a statement on Saturday. The apology came in a telephone call with Azerbaijan's President Ilham Aliyev, it said." -Politico

It's certainly not a "gun safe" but it's 100% better than nothing at all & has built in points to anchor it in a wall or bolt it to the floor. Either of those options will deter almost all smash and grab criminals.
Cheapest I've seen it 👌🏽
The CMP is going to start producing new M1 Garands with forged receivers in 30-06 and 308 🦅
With the forged receivers they won't be cheap but I think they'll sell well - I'll probably end up buying one to see how it compares to all my other surplus Garands...
