Liberals and Guns or better title, Liberals with Guns

I've experienced with my Conservative friends and Liberal friends: (I've been challenged/called out by both sides)

My Question is: As a Liberal, Do you own a Gun? Why do you have one or NOT? And Do you know how to use it?

I hate being pigeonholed. I'm a Liberal who knows how to use a gun. So, I want to know is the stereotyping correct and if I'm the oddball out there.

I have guns. I live rural and they are a necessity out here. Also i came across some good deals and they are money in the bank.

I am very progressive. I have my license to carry, large capacity. I skeet shoot.

I know how to use one. I was in the Army. I don't have one because I have never felt the need to own one. I have played in biker bars, and some of the craziest shit kicker bars in the country and never felt l needed a gun.

I know how to use a gun... I served in the Military... I live in a house where there is a shotgun and a 9 mm pistol. I have access to them. I believe in the Repeal of the 2nd amendment. Total Ban from Civilians hands. I had been practicing "my speech" to my daughter target practicing current bf... If they ever decide to get married... "She is the only daughter I got left and if you ever "lay a hand on her", I will Strangle You with my bare hands." Fuck Guns!

@Sealybobo Fuck Hunting!!! Fuck shooting for sport!!!! Fuck collecting guns for historical purpose!!!! Manufacture something else... like kites or condoms or paper balloons.

It funny you mentioned race into this... From my non-official survey, most of my black friends don't have guns. I called out this co-worker one time. He was bragging about an AK. I was interested, so I questioned him some more and it turned out.. its not his AK, never fired a gun before, knows nothing about guns... LOL

@DragonFZ Then you will find more Funny that blacks kill more blacks than whites and that whites kill more whites than blacks... Funny, killing and dying in ameriKKKa. But wannabe's existed everywhere in every cliche and for every reason. ameriKKKa in its wisdom gave color to races. I have to live in Europe to learn that there are no whites... they are Europeans, there are no blacks... they are Africans.... I was Caribbean or the West Indies... and for the European Educated may even mention one of the two tribes in such small island... the Caribes and the Tainos that blew my mind because americans don't know them despite the colonialism of the Island... american was not exotic over there and the "Ugly American" term exist. Funny how the world is a lot bigger and wiser than what we think if we leave our neighborhood. Back to your line of thought... remember how "whites" tried to keep "blacks" in no combatant units, during the WW I and II. During Vietnam era the recruiting office in my city, was in front of a JR high school... now tell me that is a coincidence? Every Puertorrican Drafted made it to Vietnam regardless they knew English or not. About the AK 47... as many other russian things... is a stolen design of the Nazi StG44 maybe the First Assault Rifle. Russia lended the design to China and it is China who proliferated the AK47 around the world. Easy to maintain weapon in any weather. Outdueled the M16 in Vietnam time and time again. I don't know now but during my time in the Navy... the Navy preferred the M14 for ship's defense. Always deployed as defense against sharks while swimming in the Ocean.

@Sealybobo I don't poll, I am not looking for Gringos to agree with me... I am not playing the percentage game either... I had never hunt in my life I admit. I am not a Gringo. So there you have it. I see a better humanity without guns... but that is just me.

@Sealybobo It is not about not having guns... Military Industry will continue. Just get the guns out of Civilian hands.Law Enforcement and Military only... that's it. A few Generations like that and the change will start.

I'm probably one of the most liberal people you'll ever meet. But I like shootin' stuff too. One of the things on my list of stuff to buy myself is a handgun. Then I can go target practice with my friends. Two of the ladies I work with already own handguns and I know I could get them to go target shoot with me.

But that doesn't mean I don't think there shouldn't be reasonable gun laws.

I don't own a gun. Have thought about getting one. I don't care if others own guns. I do care if a person with mental health issues has access to a fire arm.
We have a mental health crisis in this country that is not being addressed and many are fueling the fires of fear, racism and bigotry.
The madness concerning sensible gun control needs to stop. Sadly until we get big money out of our government the madness will continue - IMO.

I'm not a political "liberal", though I'm all for liberty. Gun(s), yes for fun and protection and I know how to use it/them.

I grew up in a family that had guns for various reasons, including hunting, killing predators, etc. My dad used to clean his military weapons at home as well.

I learned to shoot at a young age and followed through in college as well with shooting lessons and markmanship. I used to belong to the NRA until they went all whacka doodle....they become money oriented in their fee structures and what they wanted you to promote as a member, so I quit.

I still own guns...I live in a rural area...mostly to scare of coyotes and bears, but I have never fired it in over 20 years...I know my rights and I am not offended or scared of sensible gun control...I stay quiet when gun nuts claim owning a gun is a Republican thing...most of my neighbors are liberals and we all own guns...so fuck those people who say we have no clue...we do.

This. This. This.

@Dale2006 There is only one purpose for such high magazine weapons....to kill many people. No hunter would use it to kill multiple animals or to shoot them incessantly...

I spoke with one such gun owner and was disgusted when he said he owned one just to shoot up stuff for fun...seriously? He needs to find another way to have fun..not at the expense of families who have lost one loved for no reason....a son, a husband, a mother...losing a life for his fun...asshat...

Got one to protect myself and young wife; that worked. Got more after moving to the deep woods; they worked. Now I’ve got varmints, big ones; they’re still working..

It’s that divide & conquer bullshit from the extreme wrong (right), they’re manufacturing ‘enemies.’ If you see no legitimate reason for high caliber semi-automatic military assault weapons with massive clips and armor piercing ammo, or feel there should be stricter access to weapons across the nation ...you must be an anti-gun liberal freak..

You’re not, but you’re closer to a patriot than they may ever be.

Addendum here.. My youngest daughter just got her ‘concealed/ carry’ license, brought up amid loaded guns.. she excitedly rattled off all the states she’s ‘legal to carry.’ And, she voted for Hillary 🙂 My oldest daughter will simply shoot first ..and be questioned later... (Hillary, too) ~

I know how to shoot but don't own one because I'm not willing to shoot another person. I don't care if others have guns as long as they are careful with them. Like children, some people have no business with a gun.

I do not and don’t think I ever could. My ex(who is liberal) had several hand guns and an AR-15. He liked to go to the range. He tried to get me to learn. I couldn’t bring myself to hold it. I have one son who is comfortable with shooting at the range and one who won’t touch a gun. I have a serious security system and a cop/ army officer for a neighbor.

I am an Independent and own a bunch of guns of all types and A LOT of ammo. I don't hunt but I do like the challenge of target shooting. I do well at it.

I am not a liberal. I am a progressive. 🙂

I don't own a gun. It isn't one of my hobbies. I have other destructive ones.

I know how to use them. I've shot various handguns and assault rifles.

I still go to the indoor ranges with friends for proxy violence. I call this group of friends "Snowflake Gun Club."
