Since 2007, we saw in this nation the steady shift of how we think about firearms, more women are buying their own firearms then ever before and there are many from all political parties involved in the rise of a new gun culture.
When I think Gun Culture, I try and think country Music when I was a kid it was way different then it is today but its still country and still sells record by that name. ( not saying better or worse its different but that not the topic).
Gun culture used to be in every word of the sense used by then NRA President Charleston Heston, and why many people owned firearms there seemed to be a rough nature to the firearm owner and well women were far and few between even as recent as 20 years ago.
There are now women only firearms competition and women mix on men as well in competitions.
According the stats more women are buying guns. And more people with liberal points of view are as well. Now thats nothing new, everyone and every American can and does buy firearms, but until recently liberal or left leaning hid in a closet for fear of being crushed by those that do not see eye to eye politically in some avenues but non-the less enjoy firearm. Now some may say its just a political ploy by the left to infiltrate and change the rights we have. No, what Liberal Owners have done have created there own-pro-gun movement opposing legislation just like conservatives do. In fact in California unknown to many have several political pro-gun liberal groups, that are political and are opposing the laws you and I oppose. Even more so they have a huge nationwide network of gun owners and yep even chapters right here in Portland but we'd never know because some have a narrow view of what they think a Liberal Gun Owner is, and simply wont see what is really going on, so for now they have remained quiet.
You've all heard of Hickok45 the internet firearms personality ? Well these groups are contacting them to help fight for gun rights get insight and find common ground too?
And they are not hundreds , they are thousands out numbering many gun groups themselves.
Now what does that mean to a modern gun culture, it means the possibility and possible allegiance to a common cause ? Now had I not see this stuff with my own eyes I too would have thought no way Liberals would have huge groups and working on pro-gun legislation but they are.
So next time you here a rant about what liberal gun owners and they they can't exist.
They do exist and they are becoming a main stream and organize. Why because they work to ignore what they don't have in common with conservative and will work to find whats in common.
Not trying to convince people to go hug a liberal today, that's not the point.
The point is maybe start to think should we alienate all liberals just because we have political differences? But could have alliances to crush the law makers that would get in the way and try and take our rights away ?
If you look back at some of my post, I was more anti-liberal then some and even left for awhile due to what I saw was softening of the fight. Took me awhile to look at the huge picture where some unity is needed to crush, Olympia and Salem and we do not have the numbers to do it alone., and neither do liberal gun groups. So we will soon have choices to make stay hard line and lose more ground or find common ground in the firearms right fight and work with other groups that are pro-gun too and form some sort of alliances. I am reaching out myself to some of these groups but I cant solve this by myself.
Thought id post this out here, I think 5 years ago it would have got me 1000 hate PM's, I am hoping getting flogged the last 10 years will wake some up to realize choices are getting slim
and I'll only get 500 hate PM's, but we can form alliances now or wait until we lose all influences at all and then we will be ignored by all. ( the latter is closer then you think )
