Some of us like guns. SRA members are very friendly and whether you want a place to learn the basics without MAGA hats around or you actually end up enjoying improving your skill we are here for you. Enjoying firearms is pretty fucking nerdy. The conservative firearms dudes are more interested in getting drunk and complaining about their wives while holding something that makes them feel safe. At least initially. Some of them end up enjoying it for the same reasons leftist do. Because they're nerds. You listen to two people talk about firearms for 5 minutes and anime nerds will sound normal by comparison. I think leftist nerds could really bring some conservative gun nerds left if there were more of us.
TDLR: there are those that are firearms nerds and there are those that like owning a gun because they are afraid of going outside. Both exist on the left and right. But the former is almost exclusively right wing.
