Liberal, female and minority: America’s new gun owners aren’t who you’d think

CNN story?  About Liberal gun owners? In California?  Yes.

It is good news that more people are owning firearms. Covid really helped with this as well.  Unfortunately, I still hear many of them say things that start with, "I own a gun, but..." and then make some ignorant pro gun control / restriction statement.

But, one step at a time, I guess.  At least if they own a firearm, they shouldn't be completely anti Second Amendment and are open to seeing things from a more positive perspective.

Liberals are starting to realize that the world is not all the peaches and cream they want it to be. But then, many are also believers in its ok for me, but not for you. I wouldn't count them as true converts just yet.

One step at a time is correct since that kind of philosophical shift takes time.  Their having guns and realizing they aren't the scariest thing on earth if handled correctly is a big first step into winning people over.  Nothing negates ignorance like experience.

The Left has been WELL ARMED for a long time, this is nothing new. 

And they ain't your buds. 

 

Look up "Leftist's gun forums" for yourself.

I mean I am aware of https://www.reddit.com/r/liberalgunowners/ but that is the extent of my "leftist's gun forums" knowledge.

Doesn't matter if you are a gun owner, if you are against conservatives, you ARE the enemy. I will never trust a leftist. They are the ones who helped put Biden in office.....that is unforgivable.

The Dems label me a terrorist. 

My "friends" abandoned me for voting Trump and carrying a gun.

My "best friend" told me I was a blood thirsty monster for being a conservative.

All of them are Americans, but I need to lighten up.....you are truly blind.

No offense but, your friends, don't sound like friends.

Liberal, female, and armed sounds pretty screwed up right there. Bad combination.  A lot are arming to protect themselves from "real" Americans. I don't trust liberals as far as I can throw Lizzo.

I hate most liberals. Liberals have the right to arm themselves. I will defend a liberal or any (insert what ever box you put yourself into) right to arm themselves. 

I honestly respect some libs, but they are the ones who have the ability to think for themselves. 

For the record, I'm not a big fan of a lot of conservatives that have to rely on others to tell them what to think.

I can't take the....these people can own guns, but those people can't.  Those people are probably the ones that need one.

Probably going to get in trouble with a moderator now.
