    We don’t feel the need to broadcast it, or make it part of our personality.

    But don’t equate that to not knowing how or not owning them.

      I’m a left-leaning gun owner, and I don’t buy that. “We’re ready and organized…but we’re a super secret dark brotherhood so we can’t show you!” does not inspire confidence.

      For every one of us there are probably 6-12 MAGA zealots by my estimation (vibes-based, admittedly).

        Don’t be ridiculous. There is no “dark brotherhood”. Leftist gun clubs are all over, but besides social media and the occasional interview, they just don’t advertise. Nobody needs to, because interested people will find you anyway. That’s different from right-wing groups, who attract members by being as edgy and loud as possible in order to show how alpha they are.

          The problem is that I can’t fucking find any near me because they dont advertise their existence.i dont have Facebook nor any social media accounts besides Lemmy. So what the fuck can I do? Stick my thumb up my ass hoping we organize at the 11th hour?

          So fucking dumb that our Lefty culture demonizes organized marksmanship, firearm, and survival training, meanwhile morbidly obese Bubbas and their mobility scooters train to shoot the dicks off of flys at 300 meters with their huge groups of prepper Republican buddies with enormous wallets.

            They may be all over, but they aren’t everywhere. But I don’t see that as a problem, I see it as an opportunity. Maybe this is your indicator that it’s time to step up and be a leader, and start your own local club. Contact the leaders of whatever club is closest to you, I bet they can give you some pointers. Ask for advice, say you want to fix the lack of options in your area.

            I’m willing to bet there’s people in your area that would be interested.
