    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.

        Also, right wingers are cowards at their core, and most would probably drop the gun the first time they fire it.

        There might be more right-wingers with guns, but a far higher percentage of left-wing gun owners are competent with guns. As far as I’m concerned, right-wing gun owners are where we go to steal their guns to add to our own arsenal.
