      Would love to see the LGBTQ+ community arm them selves. Be hilarious to watch the right wingers scrambling over each other to quickly get gun restrictions in place

        They are, and 99% of gun owners want them to be armed. A armed minority is harder to oppress. Check out the pink pistols and NAAGA. A ton of range owners who are white focus heavily on bringing in minorities to train them and get range time in. You antigun people are so damn brainwashed, that you think that only 55+ year old white males who love Jesus and busch beer own firearms.

            I don’t know what group you hang around, but I’m from the rural south and everyone I talk to is pro-gun for everyone. That’s the one thing they all agree on.

              Suburban and rural Ohio, so wannabe south. Maybe they are amping things up to 11 or trying to act like what they think is southern but there are a lot of guys at the local ranges that fit the stereotypes too well. There are for sure the ones that think the way you say but I’d put it at best at like 50%

                That’s shitty man, down here, everyone that steps foot on my range and all the ranges I’ve ever been on, any of that shit gets brought up, those fuckers are the first to say bring em next time or they’re welcome to come shoot. They want them armed, the more people who are willing to protect the 2nd the better.

              There are more guns in the country than there are people. And only 32% of American adults own guns. So if only a 1/3 of adults, who make up 2/3 of the population, own guns and there more guns than people, then the average gun owner owns 5 guns.

              I would say owning 5 guns is close to hoarding but maybe not quite there. However, that’s the average. I know many gun owners who only have 1 or 2 guns. That means there are a lot of people who own a lot more than 5 guns.
