I was shooting out at Salmonberry yesterday, and had a bunch of people ask me if I was from the socialist rifle association or SRA. It probably helped that I'm a mop headed, sort of liberal millennial, they must have thought I was one of them. They were all nice, and went on their way, I'm guessing to their tactical training against nazis and 'the man' somewhere further down the road.

I'm still kinda laughing at the idea actually being put into action. I mean, self defense is a good thing for any demographic to know and use, even socialists, anarchists, etc. self defense is self defense. The laughable part is, in college, I used to hang out with a bunch of these kinds of militant extreme liberals, and I would not trusts my life to any of them. I wouldn't trust their guns to work, their ammo to be half decent, I wouldn't trust their map reading skills, or any sort of wilderness survival ability, etc, etc, etc. Anarcho-crusties are the most talk and least walk of any group of people I have associated with.

They do make some decent points, about being responsible for your own safety, and being prepared for emergency situations, but my goodness, the contradictions seem heavy in there. Also, the 'milita' pics are hilarious.
 
apparently they shoot the first sunday of the month, all at Salmonberry so far (3 months). The guy doesn't get there until 10am though, no wonder they got a crappy spot. Apparently there's hardly a target or a stand to divide amongst them either... I could only imagine their stockpiles of ammunition.

Maybe I'll bring a generator and my bands PA speakers out there on the first sundays, and blast Ted Nugent or something all day, with a sign reading TurboVannin' Rock'n'roll Rifle Association. There's always room for one more right?
 
All of my firearms are very "social"...
I love having them on display and sharing my knowledge about them.
Heck my antique guns are so darn social , they don't even mind it when they out shoot a modern gun...:p:D
Wait....
We might taking two different types of social here...:eek::D

In all seriousness than you for posting the link...groups like this are worth keeping a eye on.

I'll be happy to shoot other folks' guns and ammo, using other folks' targets and letting other folks clean up - I'm assuming that's what they're all about ;)
 
there was already a discussion on their reddit about how lead is harmful to the environment, but non-lead bullets are intended to price the poor out of shooting/resistance.... what to do?
 
Just saying it would really hurt to show support for a group if their intent was to overthrow our country. ISIS likes guns too, but that group has made their intent clear. If these Socialist are in full support of the country then welcome.:cool:
 
Given that they are a Socialist organization its pretty clear that they do not support the US Constitution. They may be alright with owning weapons short term to further their revolutionary agenda but in the end that revolutionary agenda will include the destruction of the 2nd Amendment and the US Constitution as a whole.

Just saying it should be them that tells us their agenda. While socialism has been very destructive killing many people and destroying lives , this group may just be a watered down version that wants free guns and ammo.:) My own opinion is let the owner here choose his path of support or denial, it' his site and he picks who he associates with.o_O
