    Read the article and everyone in those massive communities that train firearms and survivalism are Republicans.

    None of you lefty/Democrats reading this comment own guns or are interested in training in large communities, so these Republicans will wipe you off the map when Orange fascism takes complete control. Prove me wrong, link me your large lefty gun group.

      We don’t feel the need to broadcast it, or make it part of our personality.

      But don’t equate that to not knowing how to use or not owning them.

        I’m a left-leaning gun owner, and I don’t buy that. “We’re ready and organized…but we’re a super secret dark brotherhood so we can’t show you!” does not inspire confidence.

        For every one of us there are probably 6-12 MAGA zealots by my estimation (vibes-based, admittedly).

          Don’t be ridiculous. There is no “dark brotherhood”. Leftist gun clubs are all over, but besides social media and the occasional interview, they just don’t advertise. Nobody needs to, because interested people will find you anyway. That’s different from right-wing groups, who attract members by being as edgy and loud as possible in order to show how alpha they are.

            The problem is that I can’t fucking find any near me because they dont advertise their existence.i dont have Facebook nor any social media accounts besides Lemmy. So what the fuck can I do? Stick my thumb up my ass hoping we organize at the 11th hour?

            So fucking dumb that our Lefty culture demonizes organized marksmanship, firearm, and survival training, meanwhile morbidly obese Bubbas and their mobility scooters train to shoot the dicks off of flys at 300 meters with their huge groups of prepper Republican buddies with enormous wallets.

              i dont have Facebook nor any social media accounts besides Lemmy.

              And you’re complaining about not being able to find stuff? Maybe meet the people where they are instead of hoping the people will come to you?

                I go to every local gun range event and even gun ranges far as fuck away from me and never see any Lefties nor see anything advetised as left-friendly. So your advice is trash.

              They may be all over, but they aren’t everywhere. But I don’t see that as a problem, I see it as an opportunity. Maybe this is your indicator that it’s time to step up and be a leader, and start your own local club. Contact the leaders of whatever club is closest to you, I bet they can give you some pointers. Ask for advice, say you want to fix the lack of options in your area.

              I’m willing to bet there’s people in your area that would be interested.

            That the opps can obtain just as easily.

            I’m no Delta operator, but I think it’s generally a bad thing to be outnumbered in a gun fight. Especially if you’re by your lonesome, just means you’ll get outmaneuvered and destroyed if you can’t escape quickly.

      I’m left in Canada which is the US equivalent of a more left leaning Bernie Sanders. I’m a veteran, I have a rifle, and I support increased gun controls. Granted my rifle is hot pink so it’s not exactly combat ready.

        Greg, please keep a round loaded at all times, and continue training with it. Your lower neighbors are being dumb and it may slink its way up.

          I know that you feel insecure. I see you. It’s ok, but you can get through life without lashing out.

            I actually lash out because it feels good to emotionally affect impotent people such as yourself. Do you want me to apologize?

                So you want me to lash out more? Got it homie, too easy.

                You are a peaceful person trying to be pacifist in a world that never respected such things, only tolerated it. Now only threats of actual violence is capable of changing anything within our lifetimes. Deterrence used to be simple political willpower and negotiating, now only physical posturing is. Dm me your current address please so we can hug, that will make me feel better.

                  You remind me of my brother. He was taking a medication that caused some intestinal issues. While going to my sister’s wedding, he stopped at a Safeway and asked to use the bathroom. The manager said that it is closed after 9:00 so my brother went back to his car, got a roll of toilet paper, then went back to the entrance of Safeway and pooped inside. He needed to project his internal feelings at other people or the places and was actually proud of himself. This is one of many reasons that I keep a polite distance from him. There are far better ways to interact with the world, and that starts with figuring out what triggers feelings of insecurity and working on them.

                    I dunno, “I can shit in your toilet or I can shit on your floor” is a pretty powerful message. Maybe the manager will be more open to those in intestinal distress in future.

        That group is pathetically small at barely 100k active users, there are almost over a million active in the other right wing gun communities. We are cooked.
