    I like leftists in general, even moderat ones are miles better than roghtwing morons. likes guns is the lie tho. Leftists might need guns to fight against nazis but its a necessity not enjoyment.

      Some of us like guns. SRA members are very friendly and whether you want a place to learn the basics without MAGA hats around or you actually end up enjoying improving your skill we are here for you. Enjoying firearms is pretty fucking nerdy. The conservative firearms dudes are more interested in getting drunk and complaining about their wives while holding something that makes them feel safe. At least initially. Some of them end up enjoying it for the same reasons leftist do. Because they’re nerds. You listen to two people talk about firearms for 5 minutes and anime nerds will sound normal by comparison. I think leftist nerds could really bring some conservative gun nerds left if there were more of us.

      TDLR: there are those that are firearms nerds and there are those that like owning a gun because they are afraid of going outside. Both exist on the left and right. But the former is almost exclusively right wing.

        Quick find a person, who wants armed conflict instead of peaceful resolution. Nobody wants to die in violence its sometimes a necessity, but if you enjoy shooting people your not left.

          Shooting people? Dude, you can shoot targets for fun. It is literally an Olympic sport. People like guns because they are fun to shoot all over the world and I’m not American. Maybe you don’t like guns but trust me when I say guns and marksmanship are normal and popular hobbies, you just need a license where I live lol

        In what way does this detract from what they said?

        “We don’t like guns, we need them”

        “Oh yeah, well what about the times you needed guns?”
