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.

    The dirty truth of gun ownership is that the person you’re most likely to shoot is yourself.

    Yes, and another dirty truth is that most guns are owned by Republican braindead buffoons. I just encountered a thread last night where every person was saying keeping a magazine loaded and a bullet chambered in your home is the obvious best practice. So color me unsurprised most of those braintrusts shoot themselves in the face.
