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.

    No, you really can’t. You’re a judgemental prick who purposefully pushes everyone out. This whole time you’ve been saying that liberals suck, new people shouldn’t join leftist gun places, and talked about wide swaths of people negatively. You can’t turn around and claim to be judging on individual merits, because you clearly don’t. You’re worse for communism than McCarthy era propaganda, you give it a bad name.

      If they didnt suck they wouldn’t be liberals. They are upholding capitalism with the oppression and white supremacy that comes with it. Those that start to question their place in all that and seek guidance are different. Most liberals come into our spaces and demand we submit to their failed ideas. They are not welcome

        And if someone is a liberal, or you don’t like them so they must be a liberal, they are damned forever in your eyes and never could possibly ever change their minds and, obviously, would always try to change whatever group they joined. People can’t change, and are inherently good or bad.

        You really are the WBC.

          If they keep clinging to the systems that got us to where we are, demanding reform, they are not good, they are no different than MAGA

            And you think no one would ever change their mind on that, so anyone who wasn’t born a socialist is maga to you. I’m sure you were born with Karl Marx quotes to the song of the Soviet national anthem and never had to learn about communism or be convinced it was a good idea.

            Damn at least the WBC thinks it can convert people.

              No one’s goal should be to convert, only educate when the subjects that are open to being educated approach with an open questioning mind. Is the come charging in with all the answers they are gonna hit a wall.

              They are the ones that want our help, they need to humble themselves and leave their hubris at the door

                In the war of ideas, you need to convert people to your cause. Education is a tool for that.

                No one is going to listen to your egotistical ass though, insisting they humble themselves at you? Since when have you or anyone wanted to listen to someone insisting you bow down to them?

                You really must’ve been raised in a conservative Christian environment, damn.

                Plus that’s entirely contradictory “I’m going to teach you to rebel but you have to submit to do that”? You’re a mess.

                  You are a shining example of why leftists want nothing to do with liberals. Why socialist governments kick them out of the country, Why they can’t be trusted.

                    Lol you think I’m a liberal that’s funny. Figures though, anyone you don’t like is a liberal and anyone who’s a liberal you don’t like, was inevitable that you’d call me one.
