I can't wrap my head around it.
How can places like The Liberal Gun Club even exist? Gun enthusiasts, talking about shooting and owning firearms, at the same time willing to cede control of their hobby to big government. Just like that, without batting an eye. Our rights are enumerated in the Constitution, and they don't care. In principle and practice, government is taking away rights, and it doesn't matter. It smacks of moral corruption. 
Some lib gun owners I've known can't reconcile it either. They keep voting for the same idiots who want to literally enslave and control them. "It's for the greater good, I guess," they say, with a sad demeanor. Some have said they'd rather be anti-gun, and support their progressive, liberal agenda than ally themselves with tea-bagger, Christian fundamentalist nut jobs like Alex Jones and Ted Cruz. Rather than think independently, and hold their party accountable, they'd throw away their rights. WTF?? Are the Democrats infallible and incorruptible? Is there no standard, against which we can hold our parties accountable? Is there no right and wrong against the backdrop of the Constitution? What a bunch of cowards, degenerates, imbeciles! |

I know lots of people who own guns, but are liberal leaning in politics. Just being a gun owner or pro 2A doesn't mean that somebody won't have otherwise liberal political beliefs.

I am a Classical Liberal, and so joined The Liberal Gun Club to see if there might be any other similar folks hanging there.
That club is an interesting amalgam of misanthropes united by two things: their "progressive" natures and their "like" for firearms. What you need to know is that for most of them, this "like" for firearms is conditional, limited, and totally sub to their attachment to the "progressive" agenda. They are not reliable allies, they hate the NRA with feiry passion, they sneer at places like this one, and they are embarrassed by any association with you and I. That said, I have seen signs in a very few of them of that they might be on the road to enlightenment. These few see how the media spins everything about guns, and these folks are starting to question the rest of what they are told in the media. There is some small hope for those folks. |

They justify it by thinking that THEY deserve to have guns but we don't. Unfortunately for them, most of these mass shootings were perpetrated by liberal democrats or those with strong ties to the democrat party. Or they're just retarded.

Generally, it boils down to, "I want the government to control other people, and I believe that they won't do anything to restrict me."
It's never completely true, you see, and so they're willing to make some small concessions in order to get what they want. They give up a little in order to force other people to give up a lot. That's how it works. |

My wife's ex is a hardcore democrat and he is a gun owner now... since I married her he's bought 3-4 firearms including an M&P .22 ar copy.
I don't know if he's trying to copy me, or if he's genuinely interested in guns (she says it's bizarre, they never owed ANY when they were married), but I avoid talking politics with him because other than gun control, which again he's against, he's full on lib-tard. |
