Several niche, left-leaning gun advocacy groups said that since the killing of Alex Pretti by federal agents in Minneapolis, they can hardly keep up with the surging demand for firearms training.

With Donald Trump sending armed federal agents into communities around the country, even more once gun-shy liberals and leftists are considering getting armed.

And while Americans tend to think of gun owners as leaning more Republican and male, already more women, gay people and people of color have taken up arms in recent years, particularly after 2020.

    More liberals buying guns is a good thing.

    more guns, more accidents, more violence. Maybe instead of guns, people should do something crazy like vote.

    Alex Pretti had a gun. How did that work out?

      About the same as Nicole Goode, who did not have a gun. It’s almost like his gun was an excuse they came up with after they executed him.
