Why liberals are now buying guns

Because of Trump:

Gun ownership has traditionally been associated with the right wing in America but the election of Donald Trump has prompted some left-wingers to join gun clubs – and even start preparing for the collapse of society.

It’s a lot of hand-wringing silliness. But welcome to the club, guys.

    I wonder if the liberal gun buyers will be willing to put up with the BS gun laws that they’ve inflicted on the rest of us for decades.

  2. Tim Says:

    And *this*, ironically, is precisely how we convert lefty-douchebags into eyes-open, newly-awakened, freedom-loving, unapologetic gun owners.

  3. Jonathan Says:

    I like to think that learning how to purchase a firearm, and learning about all of the associated stupidities and inanities, will cause them to question their support of “gun control” at least, if not their entire political stance.

    Unfortunately, I know that “fuddism” is a massive tent with all kinds of free space under it.

  4. HL Says:

    Because they are hypocrites.

  5. comatus Says:

    Has CTD brought out a Trump target profile yet?
    Bound to be a growth industry with the fantasists.

  6. Crawler Says:

    The BBC slanted sleaze aside, I kinda understand the feelings of the quoted liberals.

    I felt the same way when a fraudulent community organizing Marxist-wanna-be with a proven anti-gun record moved into the Oval Office in January 2009 with a congressional politburo to rubber stamp anything he wanted for the coming two years.

    I started hoarding and prepping back then, too.

    I don’t trust Liberals because there is something fundamentally wrong with their thought processes, and how they perceive the reality you and I live in. I cannot believe that anyone who has spent their entire life preaching that you need to be told what to do and how to live your life because The Government knows better—when feeling threatened by opinions, facts and lifestyles contrary to their own—can make a paradigm shift in their world view to suddenly embrace the reality and freedoms you and I have always inherently known to be true. I sincerely believe that any Liberal who buys a gun under these conditions is not pro 2A, but remains exactly the same as they were to start with: pro-themselves at the expense of anyone else. Before they were confronted with losing so badly on so many fronts, they used lies, insults, bribes and obfuscation to deny us our rights to self-determination and self-protection. They have proven themselves time and time again to be extremely violent towards anyone they disagree with, and now guns will replace words as their tools of choice. Terrorists use guns, after all, to get their messages across (and any other tool they can get their hands on), and we know what an amazing pack of liars they are.

    Welcome to the club? Don’t be so hasty.

  8. Huck Says:

    What MrSatyre says about the libs is, IMHO, right on the money. And I’m sure that those who’re arming themselves are few and far between and will still continue to squeal for gun control.

  9. skybill Says:

    Really,
    ‘Wonder how many of them are gong to get blown off by the “4473!!” (REJECTED) because they really are on the “NO FLY LIST” like Ted Kennedy was!!! Or something else noteworthy?? If they make it thru and do manage to “Get a Gun,” they will have to figure out how to properly handle it for starters!!It will be OK when they shoot their self in the foot…..but a tragedy when the kill someone because they failed to remember that “All Guns are Always Loaded!!, and Don’t point the muzzle at anything you don’t want to destroy!!!” I see neophytes at my local range and most of the time they drive the Range Master Nutz!!!
    Got Gunz……..OUTLAW!!!!,
    III%,
    skybill-out

    If the story is true, and the numbers of leftist new gun owners are significant, the stories about firearm misuse coming from the anti-gun groups could get interesting.

    Like the rest of objective reality, owning and handling and using firearms comes with some very strict rules, the violation of which results in unpleasantness. And feelings don’t matter any at all.

  11. Mike W. Says:

    I like to think that what MrSatyre says about Leftists isn’t correct, but my experience tells me it is.

    My roommate (well, now former) Is a hardcore magical thinking, ACA loving, Hope & Change leftist. He’s now a gun owner due to living with me, yet still supports all manner of gun control and leftist idiocy.

    Gun ownership CAN convert leftists, but not always. Plenty retain their statist, elitist attitudes and go all “guns for me but not for everyone else.” while using the fact that they own a gun to claim, falsely, that they aren’t anti-gun.

  12. tkdkerry Says:

    +1 on mikee. It could be we’re seeing people buying guns who really WILL whip them out at the slightest provocation. Just like they tremble in fear that we’re going to do.

  13. Hoth Says:

    @ tkdkerry – Given that liberals’ fear of gun owners is based almost exclusively on projection of their own internal feelings, I believe you are 100% correct.

  14. Ron W Says:

    Well, they can always turn their guns in to a “buyback” program if and when a leftist, authoritarian gets in power.

  15. Drake Says:

    “It’s been seeing the way that Trump’s election has mobilised a lot of the far right and given them hope,”

    Oh, the horrors! People have hope! Quick, get a gun!

  16. Lyle Says:

    Exercising a right they’re simultaneously opposing.
    (Raises one eyebrow) Fascinating…

  17. Lyle Says:

    Oh, and let’s please stop calling authoritarians liberals. That’s participating in a lie. A liberal would be one who favors liberty. I’m a liberal. America was founded on liberal principles.

  18. Ryan Says:

    I wasn’t a Trump supporter but you have to admire his ability to troll his detractors. I’ve seen a lot of liberals oppose paying taxes to a Trump gov and now they are buying guns. One step closer to widespread libertarianism….good.

  19. benEzra Says:

    “Gun ownership has traditionally been associated with the right wing in America”, they think.

    I guess John F. Kennedy, Eleanor Roosevelt, and the Deacons for Defense are now “right wingers” in their view. As well as 25% or more of registered Democrats.

    Gun control fundies in their little NY/DC/CA centric bubbles are so out of touch with Middle America, it’s almost amusing.

  20. Firehand Says:

    Lyle, there’s a line I read by author Michael Williamson that covers it: “Call them ‘leftists’, because there’s nothing liberal about them.”

  21. Fûz Says:

    “let’s please stop calling authoritarians liberals.”

    +1

    “call them leftists”

    or pwogwessives.

  22. dustydog Says:

    In response to #17

    Oh, and let’s please stop calling totalitarians communists. That’s participating in a lie. A communist would be one who favors liberty. Lyle says he is a liberal, which is usually code for communist.

  23. Ellen Says:

    I certainly hope that when these rampaging idiots start carrying guns, we don’t get blood in the streets.

  24. ASM826 Says:

    Maybe they’ll open some new ranges, too.

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
