    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

            you like guns

            No, they’re a necessary tool for change.

            So you like guns because they provide change.

            No, I’d prefer if we could have change without having to shoot people.

            Who said anything about shooting people? They’re just fun range toys.

            My friend, it’s ok to be wrong. The more you shuffle goal posts around the more foolish your argument looks. Nobody once said that guns or marksmanship aren’t normal hobbies, they said leftists don’t inherently like guns. Not even that leftists specifically don’t like guns.

        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?”

            It is fun to shoot targets and clay pigeons and you should try it.

            I go to the range every week to shoot my collection of guns. You and I liking guns due to them being fun does not mean leftists as a whole need to enjoy them.

              Literally every leftist org I’ve ever been around likes guns and goes shooting. You have to be prepared and liking guns isn’t some horrible thing with American consequences. I don’t even live in America, people have guns here and we don’t have school shootings.

                Again… Nobody is arguing that this isn’t true…

                … Just that every leftist does not have to like guns. Don’t know why this is so hard a concept.
