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.

link me to your large lefty gun group

Fuck off fed

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.

Y'all are gonna shoot each other the second the beer runs out.

Sure thing officer! Here's our addresses, my social security number, and a photo of us all holding guns together.

Thanks for your service!

We have backtraced your IP, took a look at your browsing history and decided we would rather not 🕵‍♂️

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).

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 days ago (1 children)

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.

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.

"When"?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 4 days ago (1 children)

the prepared citizen movement-----------------------Not around here in WNC. All the nuts have the guns and the people who I have talked to about getting armed and trained don't want a gun. They are the ones who should be preparing.

Meh...not really...most of us are stuck in the rat race or dying in state buildings. Don't have time to fight gotta pay bills.

Maybe the future brings Madmax style roving gangs, but you're still expected to be at the office by 8.30.
