I lurk on the Liberal Gun Owner forums a decent amount. Not that I support them, I just like to see all the batsh!t insane mental gymnastics they use to justify their position.
Liberal gun owners are not second Amendment supporters. They’re merely people who like guns. The Liberal Gun Owner sub on reddit is a cesspit of idiots, communists, socialists and other people who could care less about gun rights. The ownership of firearms is a mere convenience for them. 99% of liberal gun owners are little more than Fudds who actually support gun control.
They chastise conservatives as conspiracy theorists, but their main stated reasoning to own firearms is based on some delusion that Nazi’s are going to start rounding them up.
They think conservatives are chomping at the bit to start a civil war, but many of them post about how they’re arming up to prepare to shoot anyone on the right.
The Socialist Rifle Association is even more deluded and dangerous. They misconstrue Marx’s “under no pretext” quote to say that Communism is pro-gun rights.
The most hilarious part is how they will argue that the Democrat party is actually pro-gun, and that Republicans are the party of gun control.
Gun rights are not a priority for Democrat voting gun owners. They are not allies. They can tell people they are pro- 2nd amendment all they want, but if they vote for the scum who promote these BS laws, they are not our friends.
Of course more people owning guns in theory would be good for our cause, but not if the new gun owners continue to vote for democrats. They are such a minuscule part of the party that the democrats can afford to not cater to them. They know that they’ll vote for them no matter what anyway.
If they actually wanted to do something productive, they’d try to prove to Democrat politicians that they will not vote for them if they pursue gun control.
