I love when liberals buy guns and are interested in shooting. I've got a lot of liberal friends, wish they'd ask me to take them.

Oh...my...gosh....BIASED journalism at its finest!
The author does not understand firearm ownership in the U.S. The author talks to a "typical" Liberal American - a transgender woman who lives in California but admits that she grew up in the "mid-west." Where to start...where to start....
Seriously:
Gun ownership has traditionally been associated with the right wing in America but the election of Donald Trump has prompted some left-wingers to join gun clubs - and even start preparing for the collapse of society.
It is not a Left or Right "thing," idiot. It is an unalienable right to self-defense against tyranny (governmental or otherwise) that is enshrined in the U.S. Constitution.
Clara, a 28-year-old nursing student, grew up in the Mid-West, where "the folks that had guns were seen as hicks" or were just "culturally different", she says.
Just, no. Unless she grew up in a fairly bigoted family, firearm owners should not have been viewed as "hicks."
As a transgender woman, she does not fear for her personal safety in the Californian city where she now lives but she says she knows people in rural areas "who woke up and found a bunch of swastikas and words like 'faggot' and 'trannie' scrawled all over their building".
She feels less safe now that we are about to protect our country from unfettered access by homophobic myosoginistic 7th-century throwbacks that treat women as property and kill homosexuals. Man...her indoctrination brainwashing by the Left has been extremely effective.
Some of this has been put down to gun retailers selling off stock at reduced prices, but there have also been reports of more "non-traditional" buyers, such as African Americans and other minorities, turning up at gun shops and shooting ranges.
Really? Americans that are not white are "non-traditional" buyers? Women had previously been considered non-traditional buyers, too. But, firearms purchases by women have increased at much higher percentages than men in the past few years.
Some of the new members are reluctant first-time gun owners, says Smith, concerned that isolated acts of aggression against minorities could escalate into something more violent and that a Trump administration will dismantle key constitutional rights, leading to a "more fascist rule than the US has ever had".
Real constitutionalists and conservatives have a live-and-let-live perspective. When the Left realizes that their natural rights are enshrined in the constitution to be protected by the government they'll feel safer. At the moment, they believe that all rights and privileges are dispensed by the government and can be withdrawn by the government. After all, they want a central government that would strip rights from "others" for the "greater good."
In America, stockpiling weapons and food, in preparation for social and economic collapse, has tended to be the preserve of right-wing libertarians and foes of "big government". But the Liberal Prepper Facebook group - up to now a small band - reports a big increase in enquiries.
Wow...the shoe is certainly on the other foot now - misguided as they may be.

The world is not black and white, left and right, up and down. There are evil people out there who will slit your throat and never look at your voter ID card. At heart I'm a political atheist and find some good/fault with all the political classifications. People who see the world in terms of absolutes tend to find themselves down blind alleys without a reverse gear.
So if a gay person gets beat up, does it mean it was done by a conservative or republican? If a black person gets beat up by a white person is it racism? I see it as a fundamental issue of a person with evil in their social fabric needing a good ass kicking and more if necessary.

Just about the say the exact same thing. Funny how we were all the "nut jobs" for the past 8 years.

The major difference between Conservative gun buyers and Liberal gun buyers is state of mind. Please tell me you believe these emotional basket cases are going to get the proper training and be in the correct mindset while carrying... This will literally be a case of guns being pulled over stolen parking spots at the mall and shooting people in the back because they bought the last faucet in brushed nickel at Lowes.
Then once all the liberals get done shooting people unjustly we'll all be blamed as awful gun zealots as per usual. They've had it right the whole time, they are unfit to safely own guns because they're not mentally stable. One can only hope that the rate of "cleaning incidents" goes up at an equal rate.

This article makes my brain hurt...more "it's ok when I do it, not when you do it" BS! I support anyone that wants to own firearms for whatever reason (protection/ sport etc) but honestly, they will take a gun in one hand then bash the people (NRA/Trump) who fight for that right???? It truly is a disease...

I'd bet that once they getting into the sport and want to buy things that they can't, many will change their tune.
I will admit up front, I did not read the article nor will I.
I do not need to. Gun Ownership is not a Political thing. Granted, I would be willing to bet that more too the Right than the Left are gun owners, but that does not make it a political issue.
Many on the Left have an idea that they can own guns because they can be trusted with them, other people though, no they cannot be trusted.
There are many of the Left thinking population who only love the Constitution when it fits into their agenda. If they don't specifically need certain parts of it, those parts are not needed.
Me I support the Constitution even when I don't like certain parts or certain rulings. All or nothing. I try to educate myself all of the time in regards to our Founding documents.
There is just too much confusion for some.

I counted 3 "black" rifles (well one was light blue)with the dreaded "high capacity" magazine in the mag well in the second picture of the article. How do these people not have PTSD? They all seem to be smiling. How is that even possible with weapons of war in their hands?
Good! The more the better.
Imagine how their masters will react if liberal voters start demanding the elite respect gun rights? It would be glorious! Like if the Proles rose up to overthrow the party in 1984. Honestly I'd probably be a liberal if the left wasn't against guns, they would just have to stop hating cops too.

I'm actually pretty liberal leaning on social issues, but the 2nd trumps all in regards to voting etc.
See what I did there?
TRUMPs all?

Great. Give them the neutered rifles though that they voted for. That means with no muzzle devices, no barrel threads, don't allow them suppressors, no semi automatics with more than 7 rounds in their "clipazines" not exceeding 10 rounds. No pistol grips or forward hand grips on any rifles. No thumbhole stocks, No pistols over 50oz, no shoulder thingies that go "up", folding or telescoping stocks. Ban all ar-15's and any single part that can be used with with or for one. Ban all ak47's. Ban all black guns that are not made exclusively for hunting. Let them wait a minimum of 15 months to obtain a MAY issue pistol permit that may be delayed. Make them register any and all firearms and have renewals. Don't allow them to chamber any firearms at home, don't allow any firearms at home to not be locked up. Give them what they fucking ask for you know?
bernie is going to come in and demand conservatives give half their guns to the liberals.
wellfare will now include a glock 19 and 100 rounds per week

Good. The more the merrier. I agree with some of their reasoning but that reasoning was there years ago. They just ignored it. Just imagine if these same people realized that many of us crazy gun people weren't just pro gun but really just pro freedom overall. I don't care who you choose to fuck or what gender you are or your spiritual beliefs. I just want to be left alone mostly. I do find it funny that the same people that seem to be pro big govt change their mind when they don't agree with the govt.

Arnt these the same liberals who said you don't need a gun, just stay out of Nazi, KKK, areas, and call the police if your being threatened. No need to own a gun because any need for protection is irrational? I respect you right to own firearms, I however do not respect the hypocrisy. And why a pistol, why not a shot gun that you can shoot into the air.

I think that is a myth that they have perpetuated to blindside us should they ever revolt.
Im on the fence with the "more the merrier" thing.
Alot of us agree that many liberals are mentally ill. They can look at absolute facts and disagree. They keep making the same failed laws, expecting a different outcome.
There are alot of gun carrying people that should probably not be carrying a gun. However, many, many liberals have very sick minds and will be dangerous.
Many liberals do not see the world the same as most of us do. They are very easily offended and things that we blow off, they see as violent personal attacks. I mean they see verbal arguments as VIOLENT ATTACKS.
Weve all seen them in videos on youtube throwing punches and chairs because of WORDS someone used.
I am a constitutionalist and believe gun ownership is a right, but many liberals have been so brainwashed, they do not know how to handle emotions or conflict.
Im no bigot, I agree with many of the liberals social ideals but they take them way to far, belive they are always right, and believe their actions will be justified.
Think about it, when a conservative is a fraction as vocal about a conservative view as a liberal is about a liberal view, the conservative is demonized as a bigot, a monster and an uneducated hick.
Many liberals have a seriously deranged view of life.
Heck, a liberal threatened to punch my GF and burn our house down because my GF agreed with an anti Hillary post on FB.

Same concern I have. Remember the lady that started shooting out the back windows of the car driving out of the parking lot with stolen merchandise a year or so ago? That story had a kind of wild west vigilante humor and nobody got hurt, but these emotional basket cases would be doing that kind of crap over everything. Forgot to leave the pickles off my burger Mr. drive through guy? .357 time. I don't get why more people in this thread don't think that would literally happen daily. Remember these are the same jackasses that are so delusional that they think you're as unstable with your guns as they would be with theirs...
Good. When more join the ranks of gun owners they'll begin to understand why the 2A is important. I don't care what logic they use for protecting themselves (shtf or other) as long as they are responsible law abiding gun owners and have to go through the same hoops we do. Maybe they will open their eyes to the hypocrisy of Bloomturd, Everytown and the DNC.

Good. I think owning one and then realizing how the government likes to curtail this right will make these people shift more to the right anyway. Soon Clara, the "transgender woman" will be spouting off about Heller and McDonald as well.
Of course, some of the reasons in the article are crap. A lot (most?) of the swastikas and all that are false flags from the left (as verified when the people get caught and or arrested for fomenting division like the trump church arsonist or the guy kicked off a delta flight for speaking arabic).
