[A]lso after Charlie Kirk’s death, the Heritage Foundation twisted data to claim that “50% of all major (non-gang-related) school shootings since 2015 have involved or likely involved transgender ideology.” That was in an effort to get the FBI to create a new domestic terror threat category for “Transgender Ideology-Inspired Extremism.”
How much longer until they decide to just round up the transgender people with the Gestapo ICE? It’s getting scary for transgender people.
Do it, its actually a very fun hobby (although it can get expensive). Spending an hour at the range is an awful lot like bowling or mini golf. There is a lot of skill involved and you get to go down the rabbit hole of choosing the best equipment.
I’d recommend asking around your group if anyone is going to the range soon and see if you can tag along. There are way more liberal gun owners than you can imagine, and everyone of them would love to take you on your first range trip.
Before you go, make sure you memorize the 4 rules.
If you can’t find a range buddy, just about every range offers lessons. Shop around for one with good reviews. Most will supply the equipment. https://old.reddit.com/r/liberalgunowners/ is a good place to ask questions.
Grew up with guns in my house, my dad was a hunter. Learned the four rules as youngster. I’ve shot many times when younger. Last time was over ten years ago. Shot the 9mm until my thumb hurt from reloading. They gave me a box of 12ga slugs to shoot because I was there for my birthday.
The reason I hold back is I’m the person red flag laws were made for.
(Am I doxxing myself? Should I prepare for them coming to find me?)
Hello fellow angry person! I have similar struggles and concerns about my firearms, it’s a wacky world these days. What’s tough is that I can shoot in my yard, and shooting forces me to calm down if I want any accuracy, but I hate handling a rifle when I’m upset. Airgun solved that problem, now I have a pissy gun to go be pissy with in the yard and not scare anyone.
Nothing wrong with being prepared. Besides it’s just a fun hobby right?
