Since Chuck Norris, I’m sure, thinks that his lefty adversaries all squick out over guns, I thought I’d see who self-identifies as left of center AND has no problem with guns.
Ogre - lefty eco-freak tree-hugger, and dead shot with his Taurus P145 carry pistol.
As for me, I have no guns, want no guns, but don’t give a shit about your guns as long as I can trust you not to something stupid with them or let someone else do the same.
looks at the clock Geez, you only let a whole half-hour pass, more people take longer before bumping a thread.
My husband owns a Browning 12 gauge rifle-barreled shotgun. We’re environmentalists, vote heavily lefty especially on social issues, and I’m a vegetarian for ecological and ethical reasons. I wouldn’t say I have no problem with guns (I’m fine with Illinois essentially being a no-carry state, for instance)… though the Hello Kitty AR-15 really wants to convert me to someone who target shoots for recreation.
You’re not the only one. My husband and I are both pretty left-leaning and we have lots of guns. I have two shotguns myself and my husband has a wide variety.
I own a few guns (though havent been shooting in years) and think that the 2nd Amendment vital to the Constitution, and consider myself a liberal left wing supporter…
I’m a big fat lefty (well, I’m not fat) and I’ve got a Mossberg shotgun and a .357 Smith and Wesson. I’ve taken a concealed carry class, but that’s because my libertarian boyfriend dragged me (and then forgot his damned driver’s license so he couldn’t even take the thing.) I keep them for home defense, and sometimes I go trap shooting with my dad.
I thought this was going to be about politicians. There are a number of politicians who support gun control, but either carry guns themselves or have bodyguards who do.
Even when I was in the military I thought DADT was stupid.
I don’t approve of the government giving away money but I would rather it go to regular people than corporations who just turn around and use it to pay million dollar bonuses.
I also own various handguns, evil black rifles and have over 2,000 rounds of various ammo in my residence. I also have my CCW and carry daily.
I guess I am at least socially. I have what the media calls an “arsenal,” and would have more if finances permitted. I have an FFL. Don’t carry because I don’t see the point right now, and it doesn’t exempt you from NICS anymore.
I’m a bleeding-heart liberal (has that term gone out of fashion?) with enough guns to convince a small country that it would just be easier to surrender. And France.
Socially very Liberal; I currently have my eye on an adorable little 25-caliber Beretta that’s the most fun target shooting I’ve ever had. I also want a shotgun, my husband’s is too long for my arms to comfortably handle.
