Hello comrades! Friendly reminder that American leftists continue to be threatened by gun loving conservatives. You should know how to defend yourself and you should probably own a gun. Find an active SRA, John Brown Gun Club, or (if things are dire) pink pistols or other “apolitical” gun club.

I’ve been in the SRA for 4 years, it’s not great, but I met comrades local to me. I’ve learned a lot from them and fash who post good firearms advice and I love to share that when I can.

Open for questions and I’ll post more getting started stuff if this doesn’t get banned.

    It’s totally your right to believe that more leftists should own guns, I have no issue with that opinion, but the data we have says that those people will end up less safe overall. Of course it all depends on the person and their personal circumstances, but that’s not what big statistical studies are about, they’re about generalizations that can be applied to large populations of different types of people. And the best data we have shows that owning a gun makes you or someone you love three-times more likely to be killed by that gun.

        It may come in useful one day,

        By that logic, I need to learn to fly helicopter. The odds are higher I’ll solve something with a helicopter. As former infantry, I assert that guns don’t solve any problems ever.

        100% I’m all for gun safety training and gun ranges.
