    Would be funny if this is how gun control becomes a thing in America. A bunch of greedy landlords unable to overcharged people for rent because the neighbourhood is deemed unsafe start lobbying the government to get guns under control because it’s affecting their bottom dollar.

      They’re way more likely to outlaw little free libraries. Also, people are gonna notice that the little free library in their neighborhood smells like spent gunpowder.

      Is it that much different from how fun control became a thing in California?

      The “wrong” people have to start enjoying guns is all

        Join the SRA! (Socialist Rifle Association). We are the wrong people! We either arm the vanguard (not actually a goal) or we get more common sense gun laws implemented. It’s a win win.

        In more serious terms, think of it as an organization where you can learn responsible gun ownership without being surrounded by maga hats. You don’t need to consider yourself a socialist to join. Though there is a basic vetting process to keep the maga hats out.

          Think the FBI hangs out with y’all, post-9/11-mosque style? Which was very nice and not harassy of them

          Wonder if members are safer given you’ll all be more knowledgeable than average or whether fascists would make a point to target the group as the rights situation further declines.

          Hopeful the midterms magically change things somehow and we don’t devolve into this conversation being incredibly relevant/important and it can stay a no-knowledge theoretical comment of mine

          I’ve been trying to look into joining the minnesota chapter but their website appears to do nothing but point to their socials. I’m not on social media (privacy concerns, fuck Elon and Zuck) so I’m at a bit of an impasse on how to learn more.
