Liberals with guns: Don't like the NRA but love the Second Amendment and Obama? There's a club for
New Times San Luis Obispo ^ | November 7, 2019 | Camilla Lanham

Depressing the trigger, kickback hammers my body as the bullet exits the barrel.

The polished wooden stock jams into the part of my shoulder where it's nestled, rocking me back as I open my closed eye, hoping to catch a glimpse of what I hit more than 300 yards away.

There isn't a dust cloud, and the men at my back nod their heads in approval.

I hit the target, and I'm determined do it again.

...

The Liberal Gun Club Executive Director Ed Gardner...(is) a certified gun safety instructor and took over as executive director in 2015. The gun club has been around since 2008, but it's changed a lot since its inception.

"When it first started, it was more of an internet forum," he said, "where people could go talk about guns without getting yelled at for voting for Obama."

Progressives and moderates, people of color, members of the LGBTQ-plus community, veterans, and yes, even middle-aged white men make up its more than 2,600 paying members across the country. Since Trump got elected, its membership has more than doubled and The Liberal Gun Club is starting to find its political footing—pro-2A (Second Amendment) but definitely left of center.

Liberals know all about kickbacks.

That isn’t a thing.

This is a thing: Those on left, not the right, are organizing into militias.

The ‘liberal’ gun club in Ohio turned out a mass shooter...

Seriously, liberals are far too immature emotionally to own guns.

Call me skeptical. Love the 2nd amendment? Love Obama? That doesn’t compute.

They ALL have lever guns in one image. I’ve never seen that many lever guns in 30 years of shooting, even at cowboy action events! And these lever guns are not going to reach 300 yards and reliably hit the target.

I wonder if they all keep their rifles locked up at the gun club. Seems like a common-sense thing to do.

“Guns for me but not for thee.”

Call it the “Dianne Feinstein Liberal Hypocrites’ Gun Club”.

Screw them, they’re still the enemy.

I think that pic is from the lever action rifle class mentioned in the article.

The 300 yard shot and body-punishing “ kickback” we’re from a Garand.

Nope.

They vote for politicians who will TRY to disarm US.
They think they’ll be left alone.

But don’t worry libs... we’ll make sure YOUR guns get taken first.

We’ll be able to use them.

No, they vote for politicians that will disarm, you and me, not them. Being a card carrying member of the club that is the ultimate in hypocrisy, they’ll be able to flash their Democrat Voter Registration card and get a pass. They’ll say, lets disarm all those rightwingers, first, we’ll come back for yours later. You’ll need to be able to defend yourself in case something happens.

“Progressives and moderates, people of color, members of the LGBTQ-plus community, veterans, and yes, even middle-aged white men make up its more than 2,600 paying members across the country.”................they’re incapable of talking about anyone with putting them into some sort of category, like they were just items on a list. They can’t just say something like....a group of like-minded individuals enjoying a day at the range, that come from all over the country and all cross sections of life....or some other blah blah blah.

You got to be kidding. This person knows nothing about shooting.

“..... as I open my closed eye, hoping to catch a glimpse of what I hit more than 300 yards away........”

You start with a 22 and work your way up in caliber so that you don’t develop bad habits. Bad habits are hard to break, which is why you try to avoid developing them.

“This is a thing: Those on the left, not on the right, are organizing into militias.”

Yep. The left has been studying, and practicing urban guerilla warfare for awhile now, while our side wont get off our asses and man a voter registration table.

People with our values are getting old, but new young conservatives— who will ultimately be on the frontlines in the event of street combat— need training & guidance.

FWIW, the best books on guerilla warfare are the ones by Mao Tse Tung & Che Guevara, plus others available on Amazon.
