Never knew one existed.

The mission of The Liberal Gun Club is to provide a pro-Second Amendment voice for left-of-center gun owners in the national conversations on firearms.

In order to achieve our mission, we encourage new participants in the shooting sports and provide firearms safety and shooting instruction programs; as well as providing a forum for civil discourse on these issues.

That's excellent.

While it's not likely that the Democrat party will become pro-gun anytime soon, this type of thing might swing some voters to the Republican side, and it will certainly help with non-D/R votes like 1639.

The best thing that can be done for protecting the 2nd is to decouple it from partisan politics.

I think guns are a good barometer and gateway to becoming a more liberty minded person.

I'm all for liberals gun clubs.

You guys apparently haven't heard about the John Brown Gun Club and the Socialist Rifle Club...

While the JBGC ostensibly portrays themselves as forming with a purely defensive intent I'm pretty sure that the manifesto for turning the world Red incorporates violent revolution. (I) don't trust a one of them.


EDIT: JBGC has/had ties to the Redneck Revolt; a teaparty reactionary group.

A Nobel sentiment, but all the people they vote for are diametrically opposed to their views and most socialist democrats would cave on protecting their second amendment rights if it meant getting something else they want in return. If they could sway their party to the tune of a primary election where they could unseat an anti gun democrat in favor of a pro gun democrat, it would mean more than just a paper tiger. There were democrats at one time, that were staunch supporters of the second amendment, they even got NRA A ratings, I don’t see any now, and that is a shame. We should support their efforts if genuine, otherwise we could alienate potential allies.

This right here. He gets it.

We all need to make this so damn hot, that no party will touch it. This takes massive contacts from gun owners to their representatives. I just read a very good example of this happening........... Lemme go find the link......

The Governor of Virginia called a special session specifically for gun control. He failed. It lasted one day.

Lefties don’t vote left for gun control. They vote for free baby murders, free college, free income, and punishment of whites, men, Christians, Jews, the wealthy, and everyone else they blame for their lot in life.

The naivety of the right remains astounding sometimes. Everyone may have a 2A right, but the last thing anyone should be doing is encouraging those on the left to exercise it. The 2A exists to defend against tyranny. The ideals and actions of the left are the definition of tyranny. Encouraging the enemy to arm themselves is literal suicide.

There's actually quite a lot of gun nut lefties like myself. I meet a lot of them at the local ranges but we're obviously not chatting politics out loud and drawing attention lol. Just wanna get my shooting done and not shoot the shit.

I don't think you'll have much luck converting lefties to being conservative, but you can encourage them to at least support less anti-2A candidates in primaries and such.

Bingo! It’s dangerous to keep assuming an “R” next to a candidates name will protect your gun rights. Reagan, Bush Sr, and Trump didn’t do us any favors. That being said, I can’t think of one Democrat I’d ever vote for.

That’s the word, Less Anti 2a. Kinda like less genocidal or less racist. Kinda like saying someone is less gay or less communist. I get it there is a broad spectrum of people out there, I like the fact there is a minority in their party that likes guns, problem with that Is they are a minority, they won’t get listened to, they don’t have a seat at the table. If they were larger in number that could affect a primary then it’s a legit group. I know there is a lot of people that vote Democrat that are closer to the middle than what MSM wants you to believe, but it’s that rabid base that calls the shots and gets out of the primary. Unless they can change that all they are is the People my uncle talked about in the Warsaw ghetto that assisted the nazis until they themselves were put on a train. I won’t tell anyone how far they should go in the belief of protecting their rights. If they like to hit the range and sort of dip their toes in the water of freedom, more power to them and to you sir. If the Democratic Party would abandon their unhealthy obsession with any and all gun control I would vote for them. But you and I both believe that has as much a chance as that happening as Bill sleeping in the same bed as Hillary tonight. I harbor no illusions, they have as much a voice in the Democratic Party as the log cabin republicans do in the GOP.
