| thanks, got it. |
I'm kinda leaning toward the same thing (+1). When I was dating, I quickly lost interest in a girl if she was a leftist. Why bother with her? You marry who you date, and I didn't want to move that far with any leftist moonbat. Troubles would have been down that road. But when I was dating my now wife, I knew she was a keeper. Conservative, doesn't have any problems with guns, and even explains to her parents the importance of owning guns, when asked. Good times. |

Well, broach the subject with her. See how anti gun she is. Ask her to go shooting. Say look if you have never handled or fired a gun how can you be against them? I took this tact with a Englishman who is a serious pacifest. He enjoyed shooting but said that he was even more convinced that average citizens should not have such destructive weapons  so no joy there. Many people find the power of firearms sexy and seductive, unlike all us mature arfcommers. You just might light her up, knowhatImean? |

I'll take answer "B"- final answer mention it and that you are going to the range. invite her to go. If she agrees to go, great. Don't try to make her shoot and don't take anything too evil looking; if she just wants to watch that's a good start. Afterwards, if she says she wants to go again then you're doing good; if she says they are bad then dump her. BTDT

You open the safe She closes her legs You sell your guns to open them back up and become one of the "new metrosexual males". Tell her and if she bitches, toss her, it'll very seldom ever get better. If she's what you say she is, [femi-lib] why are you even dating her? Do you have anything in common to base a relationship on? |
| Get rid of her NOW! You're NOT going to change her. Your peace of mind is worth more than having been together a few months. I would tell her you have firearms and then watch her closely. You've only been together a short period of time. You may not know the real her and she may flip on you. Sounds like a Hilary wannabe. Sure, Amin and Hitler may have been a scream at partys but that doesn't cure crazy! |
show her the safe, then tell her that theres more where that came from

There has to be some balance to your life... You like pie, or you like guns? Or both? It isn't really right to obsess over one vs. the other. You should have balance. I'd say you're fairly cool since she knows you hunt and doesn't have any problems with it. She would have bailed earlier if she had real problems over it, or made it clear she was trying to convert you. Eventually you'll want to take her shooting, but don't push it. 2 months is a still a fairly new relationship. The Eject! cries are too early. There are many on the fence convert stories here. Give her time. |
Those are ALL deal breakers for me. Although is she pro ILLEGAL immigration, or just pro immigration? Huge difference. You are with her why? 
|
+1 Given how far left she seems from your description the shock treatment will determine, in the shortest possible time, the best the next step Frankly I see little hope. Your description shows someone that is the polar opposite from compatible to almost anyone on this site. While you might have enough in common for "fun" the long term prospects are extremely grim. People like that simply don't change and even if you could, do you really want your GF to become a "project" like that? |
I know this means OPEN Borders  , because there are NO LEGAL immigration problems. My wife is I figure that's gotta be the best pussy you ever -  , young are ya? Once you get married and this is a possibility, you tow her line or she bolts and you lose 50% of your stuff. Now how would I know that?  PUNT.  |
No shit. She's just not a keeper. |

Is she a piney? You arfers with all your dumper and such. It is our job to promote an open atmosphere for sheeple to enter. How are you going to continue the legacy of the second amendment if we just pass it on to our sons and daughters. There has to be some crossover. Of course like all things outside someone's comfort zone, you may have to ease them into it. Taking her to the range to fire the AR might be a little jarring for a first experience. Maybe bring a harmless .22 and a shotgun. Then if she likes that bring out the "Assult Weapons." You know if you put an AK in a persons hands they fall in love with it and never want to put it down. It's just a matter of getting them out there. Everyone likes guns, that's why Bruce Willis and Ahnold have jobs. They just don't want to admit it. |

For crying out loud, why in God's name do gun enthusiasts want to date liberals? It's just going to end in pain. Wine, dine and sixty nine, but never get involved with a liberal chick, she'll screw you sooner or later, and I ain't talking bout the good kind of screwing, I'm talking about a radical walletectomy. Get rid of her now,while it's easy and cheap or you'll be doing it later when it's not easy and not cheap. But before you dump her, SIIHPAPP! |

Exactly. eddiein1984 why are you dating her? For the sex? Because having a girlfriend who is impressed with your ability to change her oil but is fundamentally opposed to everything you believe in just seems like trouble brewing? Are you paying some kind of pennance? Are you hoping to change her (WILL NOT HAPPEN)? Are you not strong enough to get out? Are you just plain horny? |
God damn, ya'll got some hate issues going on here. I'm a gun nut and libertarian. I have friends who are anti-gun socialists. I'm pro-choice I have friends that are pro-life. I'm a Taoist, some of my best friends have been fanatical Christians. My girlfriend likes romances I like action flicks. You say po-tay-toe I say po-tah-toe. It is possible to disagree with something but tolerate the fact that someone else believes it. Or do we want to get into blondes vs. brunettes? "If everyone's thinking the same thing then someone isn't thinking." -Patton. Ed - Grow a pair, tell her you shoot. If she says "I don't agree with it but I don't care if you do it," +1. If she says "I'd like to go and learn about this" +1000. If she says "if you want to keep dating me you have to give this up..."

+1 Take her shooting... It has worked for me. My GF (from Spain) loves it after trying it and cant stop talking about it back home with family. Introduce new people to your hobby ---- Converts can often be the strongest supporters! |
Politics go to the core of the person and their values. Two people with polar oposite values will not last as a couple. Sure they MIGHT last as friends, but no way in hell will they last as a couple. Do you want your wife teaching your kids something you flatly disagree with? This is why we are all giving the advice we are giving. |
