I have an aunt, who honestly I like a bit, but when it comes to politics, WWIII starts nearly every time it comes up. We agree on some things, but for the most part we argue over politics.

 

She has said in the past that she's not "opposed" to RKBA, but naturally her ideas for gun laws are things that we recognize as detrimental to legal ownership, and not to criminal use.

 

Her and her husband have gotten their first gun, and intend to purchase another one.

 

It is interesting to me, and perhaps a hopeful sign that this has happened. The first gun they got was an old double barrel shotgun that my uncle inherited. However, what most surprised me was the fact that they want to get their youngest son, who is about to be a sophomore in high school, a .22 rifle. It's mind boggling to me, since I come from the more conservative side of the family I never even saw a gun up close until I was 18, and never owned/fired one until I was 19. However, I am glad that they have embraced their constitutional rights. I am curious as to what you guys think, but to me, for a hardcore liberal family to actively participate in the RKBA, then maybe the country in general is moving back towards supporting these rights.

Now is your chance. Bring em to the range and convert em.

I'm actually thinking about it when I get the membership to R14. Though they may simply faint if they see a black rifle in front of them XD.

Take them shooting, foward them some of the positive gun related news that you never see on mass media. And don't stop until they are 100% pro-2nd amendment.

I'm one of those flaming liberals... but I'm a flaming liberal with a shotgun and prejudice toward orange clay disks.

 

We should keep in mind that the two people who are keeping a lid on any new firearms laws in NJ are liberal democrats: Senators Sweeny and Van Drew.

 

Political persuasion does not necessarily mean that you shouldn't be able to protect yourself... or bust some clays.

I choke every time I see a new thread about how liberals are anti-gun. I am a rabid liberal and love my firearms. So long as the politicians and lobbyists continue to think that being liberal and being conservative determine how you feel about guns, we'll never make any real progress in bringing understanding to the people that just don't have the experience, aside from media and movies, to decide how they feel about guns.

 

When I'm shooting, I dont talk politics. You should be happy to have one more thing to talk with her about and leave the political divide out of it.

Well, you're a liberal I like then haha. That's always my MAIN issue with liberals, there's a lot of stuff, usually social issues where I'm liberal. I mean, I support gay marriage, because in my America, the government stays out of people's lives, they don't have the right to tell anyone how to live, so long as they aren't physically harming others, or their property. Economically I'm conservative for the same reason, environmental issues (real ones, not the tiny bit of lead released during hunting) but other things I get annoyed by.

 

I used the term liberal in the title because it would spark more interest, also, she has traditionally been the stereotypical liberal. She always seemed anti-gun, she didn't like the fact my school had a sort of group devoted to challenging the most intelligent kids, and things like that. For the most part I don't care if someone is liberal really. The REAL issue with politics in this country is that both sides are totally about denying the rights that the other side supports. GENERALLY liberals hate on gun rights (NJ this isn't the case, but in NJ all politicians hate guns), and they work to limit these rights. Likewise, Conservatives oppose the idea of gay marriage, and things like that, and work to limit these people's rights.

 

As far as I'm concerned, If you don't like a particular right, don't exercise it, but you should never work to undermine another individual's ability to exercise that right.

 

Sorry, getting off topic, I was mainly curious to see what the NJGF community thought of this, and if we could get one over on our side
