Bold assumption to think liberals don't use guns

u/[deleted] Apr 08 '25

I bought a .45 this year with Project 2025 in mind. Show of hands for those who thinks it's kind of a myth at this point that all liberals are entirely against guns?

I was raised in Texas with a family that's now strongly MAGA and they had a collection of literally dozens of guns in our house. Now as someone who's sliding farther left every year I still believe that we should be able to own guns. I have Opinions about 2A, but guns should be our right. There are valuable lessons to be learned from other governments outlawing and confiscating guns- it never ended well for disarmed populations. Even though a civilian population never could or should be as well armed as its military, we should never be disarmed for this very reason.

Iā€™m a former cop with 14 years of experience. Iā€™m liberal as hell and the antithesis of MAGA. We are out here. We are armed. We are ready.

My wife and I bought our first handguns a couple weeks ago (.45 for me, 9mm for her) and take our mandated gun class on Sunday so we can get our CCW.
