Word had already spread at the Livermore Rod and Gun Club, about 50 miles east of San Francisco, that a group of self-described liberals were at the range.
“A liberal gun club. Isn’t that some kind of oxymoron?” cracked one of the shooters to another as he leaned back on a bench to rest between rounds. “Yeah,” said his friend. “I guess we could use some liberals who don’t hate guns.”
Members of The Liberal Gun Club are used to snarky remarks from other shooters. The club formed in 2009 as a loose community of gun owners who wanted to shoot and talk firearms, but were put off by the rhetoric of gun confiscation and the evils of Democrats that they often encounter at gun stores, shooting ranges, and in gun forums. |

So bogus.
Loving guns is the materialistic end of it; loving LIBERTY is the thing.
Democrats who 'love' guns love a HOBBY. They don't connect the practice to liberty, except that which the government allows.
The core principle of the Democrat philosophy is that government has a role in and authority over everything, and that liberty must be 'balanced' against the good of the collective.
Which presumes, of course, that what's 'good' for the collective is rightfully to be decided by THEM. |

A vote for a democrat is a vote for gun control. Even the democrats that vote for gun rights most of the time will vote for control/restriction/regulation when their vote counts.
They will vote for gun rights on laws that won't get enough votes to pass, but will vote for gun control when their vote matters. I have seen this happen many times. |

TO REMEMBER |
| [The American Colonies were] all democratic governments, where the power is in the hands of the people and where there is not the least difficulty or jealousy about putting arms into the hands of every man in the country. [European countries should not] be ignorant of the strength and the force of such a form of government and how strenuously and almost wonderfully people living under one have sometimes exerted themselves in defence of their rights and liberties and how fatally it has ended with many a man and many a state who have entered into quarrels, wars and contests with them. — George Mason, "Remarks on Annual Elections for the Fairfax Independent Company" in The Papers of George Mason, 1725-1792, ed Robert A. Rutland (Chapel Hill, 1970). |
