Liberal gun owners???

Yep. Armed Liberal (and proud of it) :evil: I easily fit in the fiscal conservative social liberal not quite Libertarian model. I own my property and pay taxes on it and as long as I don't do anything that physically harms my neighbors everyone can keep out. I don't mind helping folks down on their luck, but would hang parasites. I think funding scientific research and arts and education and wilderness parks constitutes enlightend self interest. Sounds like Roscoe and Calhoun and I should start a party (or change one).

Various milsurps - p17, 03, 03a3, Garand, Model 97 Riot, Model 12 Riot, M1 carbine, M1A, AR, AK, RPK, Dragunov, 90/30, 91, M39, Swede Mauser, K98, 303 Jungle Carbine, etc.

Then the handguns - mostly BHPs, CZs, and Paraordnances.
 
Oh yeah, I forgot the second part of the question.

Answer: Well, none, really. Guess I don't count then? I rent from the local indoor range on a regular basis, and own a lot of prop weapons (I run a small props rental business), but I've yet to convince the wife that having a real gun in the house is not only acceptable but also worth spending the money on.

So, hey, if any of you bleeding heart gun-totin' liberals are looking for ways to give handouts in a pro-gun way...;)
 
I have a friend, one of my oldest friends, we started our first band when we were 12. He's an aethist, vegan, homosexual. He's pro-abortion, pro-gay marriage, and even believes illegal aliens should be given citizenship so they could get government assistance, "for the children". He squealed like a pig under a gate after the last election and still swears Bush didn't win. He also practicially sleeps with the Glock on his hip. He believes that owning a gun is not only a right, but it's the responsibility of every American to own firearms.
Last time he was in state, we were sitting around discussing politics and he said he was unsure who to vote for. Said Kerry would be his man if it wasn't for the terrorist threat. And the wife had the most sage advice. "You know they're both gonna do it, so you vote for the one that'll kiss you first."
 
Gun lovin' liberal here!
Conservatives are right about gun ownership and nuclear energy and wrong on just about everything else.

ESPECIALLY: Injecting one's personal religious beliefs into everyone's government is an unforgivable offense as far as I'm concerned.

And as far as welfare goes... help them with job training and child care and help them get back off it. Some abuse the system and some really need help. Don't toss the baby with the bathwater. FIX the system.

I own 11 handguns and 2 rifles, vote Democrat and tell the party how I feel about guns and nuclear energy every chance I get.
 
Yep, I'm a San Francisco Bay Area vegan, atheist, unionized public school teacher, don't have any problem with homosexuals, son of an immigrant (legal) on one side and grandson to an immigrant (also legal) on the other, over-educated, underpaid, Liberal Independent. Fiscally moderate, socially liberal and I have always been in complete wonder that protecting the 2nd amendment wasn't a liberal cause. If there were an active 2nd amendment Democratic Party movement I'd become a Dem just to be in it. Oh, and I almost forgot, I wear Birkenstocks nearly every day! (Not while shooting though, hot brass SUCKS on bare toes) Been shooting since I was 10 and before I became vegan I took 6-7 Michigan Whitetails, tons of squirrels and rabbits and a few pheasant. There isn't any point to hunting if you don't eat your kill though.
I have a safe full of C&R rifles, love my M1A (when its in one piece), my Kimber 1911 and my Smith 629 classic w/ 5 inch barrel.

I have undertaken a mission to take as many "never shot a gun before" liberal pals to the range as I can. They may never shoot again but the evil unknown gun has become a known, not so evil gun for them. Win their hearts and minds...
 
The trouble is, though, that “conservatives†aren’t really that good on guns. They think you should be able to have rifles and shotguns for hunting and shotguns and revolvers for self-defense, but they’re still pretty leery of high-capacity, semi-automatic “assault weapons.â€

On the other hand, “liberals†think only licensed hunters and “collectors†should be allowed to own rifles and shotguns. Of course, nobody should have those sneaky handguns and deadly “assault weapons,†except maybe the police and military.

Anyway, neither side of the false American political dichotomy really gives the RKBA more than lip service.

When it comes to the economy, I am liberal. It seems as if every time the republicans get in office there are a lot of good hard working people out of work. Some are my friends.
On most other issues I am conservative. I usually hold my nose and vote Republican.

A phenomenon has been mentioned here that I call...

The Dark, Creepy, Authoritarian Conservative.

This is an animal that has chased far too many decent and honorable folks out of the Conservative camp, and straight into the arms of the hard core collectivoLeftists who currently control the Democratic party.

In my view, a sane and balanced political future for America has the following features:

-Continued critter control on the DCACs within the GOP
and
-Serious delousing of the hard core collectivoLeftists amongst the Dems.

And then perhaps we can all get back to the business of being Americans, via reinstalling the Constitutional Republic, which pretty much enables everyone to carry on as more or less as they see fit.


Getting 'tween here and there's gonna be an interesting ride....
 
I have few good things to say about either the Republicans or the Democrats. They are far more alike than they are different, suffice it to say.
Click to expand...

Agree with the above, each pander to there own groups and in the end
don't appear to fight for America, I do not see a true leader in our future,
could one even exist in present day Washington. At present I vote
republican as the lesser of two evils, but it's a slim line.:(
 
I WAS a liberal ... then I lived in California ...
then I was a crime victim, and witnessed firsthand the effects of a liberal district's judicial system ...
then, I went to Iraq (and again ...).
But I still own guns ... but won't list 'em all on the internet ...
 
I guess one could consider me a libertarian. Although very fiscally conservative (in a free society, the consumer should be informed to regulate industry), I am socially for freedoms. People should be able to make their own values when it comes to these things, none of governments business. Although, I feel abortion is murder if it is performed after about the first month (unless the mother is at risk from delivery). The costs of regulating the actions of citizens as well as principles are shaky at best, and outweigh any consequences. In some ways, I want to see a return to the society of the early American years, but in others I want the government to change. I guess I am weird though.
 
hmmmm

when I lived in VA I was considered a flaming leftist,

now that I'm in MD, it seems that I'm more conservative than Gov. Ehrlich:rolleyes:

I guess I'm a liberal independent. . .

guns? what guns?:D
