I work with a libtard who was begging me to show him how to build an AR during the panic. Begging. Saying "Oh the noes, they will all be outlawed soon".
I told him that if he bought a membership to NRA, I would happily oblige him. It's been a year. Still no membership. And he's still a libtard. |

No. I have culled the Obama voters from any aspect of my life. Not only are they responsible for the decline of my civilization, their knowledge of any of my activities - particularly when it comes to weapons - is a risk to myself and my family. Tell the douchebags you sold your guns during the panic, and ask them how that hope and change thing is working out for them. |

I had been telling them for YEARS to buy an AR, then they were begging me to sell them some of my spare lowers. I offered them at $1000 bucks stripped. No takers. |

Most of the non-gun owners I work with want one after a range trip. Took a friends sister who thought guns were evil and nobody should own one. Now she wants one. Education and being safe is key, not to hard to change the mind of the ignorant.

Now he just bugs me about where to get ammo and mags....... and more ARs. He wasn't a liberal though. He just never owned a gun before. |

I never turn down the opportunity to take someone to the range and educate them. Some liberals can still be educated if given the opportunity, but those that can't don't get a second trip to the range.
If you really want to make them feel our pain make them find and pay for the ammo. |

Taking tardo shooting is not always going to make them "change".
Knew one that tried shooting an AR and AK and decided to buy one after that...but still thought they should be banned (after he got his of course). Fuck them. |

Pretty much every girl I've dated who turned out to be an Obama groupie... always was pumped at the idea of going to the range with me and learning to shoot. One even cited self defense as the reason she wanted to learn to shoot, and eventually carry.
Never did get around to taking any of them..lol |

It took me about 4 trips out to the west desert to change the mind of my next door neighbor and his wife. The first trip they were hesitant to even touch guns let alone shoot them. They just wanted to watch. The second trip I brought my 22 revolver, 22 Ruger Mk 2 and my 22 AR. along with my M4. I also brought my three sets of electronic earmuffs. The husband shot all the weapons, the wife shot the 22 auto and a cylinder of 22 with the revolver. He got excited shooting the M4. You could tell they were more comfortable wearing the hearing protection yet being able to have a normal conversation. The third trip in addition to the 22s and the M4 I also brought my scoped M1A. and my lead sled shooting stand. The wife finally got into it shooting my 22 AR and the M4. The husband told me he was in love with my M!A until he found out how much I had into it. The fourth trip was the clincher. 22 AR, 45 Auto 1911, M4, and the M!A. They had a blast, literally (I brought a half a dozen small containers of tannerite) The wife shot all the weapons and hit two exploding targets with the M4. The husband hit a one pound container of tannerite at 175 yds with the M!A. They both enjoyed shooting a full magazine of 5.56 and several mags of 45 auto.
On the way home they asked me if I would help (advise them) in buying a couple of guns for home defense. A couple of weeks later they bought 2 AR's a 22 Ruger and a Glock 19. I don't know if I changed their view about guns and who should own them etc. But I think I helped them see our side. The husband has joined the NRA last I heard. |

my advice to the OP, ...just take them to the range and convert them... that's a win-win.... be courtious about it, go over safety thoroughly, and get them off on the right foot...

Tell them when it gets to shooty time you don't want them knowing how to shoot, makes it easier to shoot them. Then smile and walk off-doubt if they will ever bother you again one way or another.
