signewt"10 tips on how to talk to liberals about guns"
Some good points, along with some I don't think are accurate.
A great line : " if you’re trying to win people over by showing off a black rifle in the deli line, some reevaluation is in order. This comes across as an intimidation tactic and makes few friends compared to the numbers it alienates."

mutedbladeThat is complete and utter garbage in my book. Clearly written by someone who would rather pander to a Liberal than tell the truth. Articles like this are trying to get people to admit that the NRA is bad, white privilege exists, and there is toxic masculinity abounding within the community. The author is a fucking poser!

BigboreshooterLost me once and for all right here:
quote:
Burn the NRA: This is a great time for anyone who cares about the future of self defense to incinerate their NRA card. When gun control supporters criticize them, vehemently join in. Point out how during the early 20th century, when black Americans were put on trial for defending themselves against lynch mobs, they sat on the sidelines as leftists like the attorney Clarence Darrow upheld the 2nd Amendment in court as a human right for everyone. The NRA is racist, a fear mongering disaster and completely incompetent. Don’t hesitate to distance yourself from that cultural trash inferno.

signewtnot making any claims; yet consider the general public trying to buy a doughnut at this counter.
And just how do you feel about the magazines in these EBRs?
Whether 'empty' or 'inert blanks' etc, it raises the perceived risk level to many observers.
sure, posed/setup/etc. Yet I've seen a few such individuals in my own travels out & about.
My range doesn't allow 'inserted magazines' in such weapons if you're off the firing line.
In any case, whatever the 'political statement as imagined' vs 'as observed' as illustrated in the photo merits reflection.

Todd HuffmanWhat a load of horse shit. Give concessions? Check your privilege? Burn the NRA???? Nah. Fuck em. I'm done giving concessions and compromising any other way.

PerceptionI don't really agree with any of that. To paraphrase one of the commentors, that reads like it was written by an outsider trying to pass themselves off as a member of the club.
Every single point he makes he's trying to tell us he "gets" it better than all of the rest of us. I would respectfully say that he is mistaken.
"The people hate the lizards and the lizards rule the people."
"Odd," said Arthur, "I thought you said it was a democracy."
"I did," said Ford, "it is."
"So," said Arthur, hoping he wasn't sounding ridiculously obtuse, "why don't the people get rid of the lizards?"
"It honestly doesn't occur to them. They've all got the vote, so they all pretty much assume that the government they've voted in more or less approximates the government they want."
"You mean they actually vote for the lizards."
"Oh yes," said Ford with a shrug, "of course."
"But," said Arthur, going for the big one again, "why?"
"Because if they didn't vote for a lizard, then the wrong lizard might get in." May 11, 2018, 12:04 PM

That's because you're a decent man. At this point I probably wouldn't be so decent. These parasites are truly despicable.

ensigmaticI ran through the bullet points, then tried to go back and read it. Couldn't make it through the first point.
I
will agree that walking about with an EBR slung across your back like that is about equally as stupid as the article, itself.
I see somebody doing that and I want to get away. Not because I fear the weapon, but because I don't want to be anywhere near the id10t that thinks that's appropriate behaviour.

4. Check Your Privilege: People often take this the wrong way, but it’s not so hard to understand. Just be honest about who you are and how you got where you are. For example, I arrived where
I am in life through tons of hard work but unavoidably also by taking advantage of my ruling class race and gender. That doesn’t mean everything came easy but it sure helped give me a leg up over many other people and it’s foolish to pretend that isn’t part of my success. Don’t let reality make you defensive, but instead take it as a lesson in humbleness. "

mbinkyArticles like these, written by leftists, are pure psychological warfare being used to try and pick off the "weaker" gun owners.
Nothing more than a modern day "Tokyo Rose" trying to sow discord among his opposition. The left is good at tactics like this. Ignore them all and teach others to ignore them also.

Yellow JacketAfter reading the comments it was clear that I didn't need to waste any of my time reading the article.
Besides that, I have no desire what-so-ever to try to talk to any liberal about guns. Absolutely no point to it.
