    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.

      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).

          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.

            Also, right wingers are cowards at their core, and most would probably drop the gun the first time they fire it.

            There might be more right-wingers with guns, but a far higher percentage of left-wing gun owners are competent with guns. As far as I’m concerned, right-wing gun owners are where we go to steal their guns to add to our own arsenal.

        That group is pathetically small at barely 100k active users, there are almost over a million active in the other right wing gun communities. We are cooked.

      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.

      LOL I love this idea that some men with guns can stand up to some dude in a mountain flying a drone.

        Thank you, General Armchair. Do you have any more insightful tactical advice that you learned from your gamer chats that you can share over Signal with us?
