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 |
| No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion. — James Burgh, Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses [London, 1774-1775]. |
