When liberals seriously start to understand the need to carry weapons and the Constitutional rights to go with it, if they are honest, they tend to become conservatives.

...lets face it...Libs often live in Urban America...and the inner city is a concrete killing field...when my wife taught at George Washington University a member of her department got shot in the face as he got into his car...he lived, but at the next faculty picnic approached me about getting a piece.

The “progressives” are embracing RKBA to steal gun owner votes from the GOP. If they get to the point where they feel securely in control the gun grabbing will start all over.

Like many subjects, liberals believe in their freedom to do what they want...and to tell others what to do.

Funny, just this morning I saw a bumper sticker that said “Gun Toting Liberal”. I have never seen one before.

This is the part that doesn't even make any sense.
"Shooters see their guns as emblems of a whole spectrum of virtuous lifestyle choices— rural over urban, self-reliance over dependence on the collective, vigorous outdoorsiness over pallid intellectualism..."

There is no logic in this belief. It has no basis in reality. I lived in West Milford, New Jersey, an exurb of New York City. It was densely wooded and had plenty of bears, coyotes, and coy-dogs. They didn't bother me at all.

I now live in a South Florida city of over 100,000 people. Those urbane, collective, pallid intellectuals tend to murder people at astonishing rates. I don't leave my apartment without my gun. I'd really rather not carry it. It's heavy and bulky and sometimes it's a pain in the ass to conceal it. But the Broward County Sheriff's helicopter keeps coming back every week, looking for those pallid intellectuals who get into philosophical debates over ownership and property rights with employees at convenience stores and gas stations. Inevitably, the debating team resorts to knives and guns to carry the side.

Cities I do not find to be especially pleasant or communal. I find myself having to go armed amidst the pallid intellectuals. I didn't have to do that in the rural parts of this country.
