Leftist/liberal gun owners
So in the face of the upcoming vote on ch.135 I’ve been thinking a lot about the politicization of the 2A especially here in MA. I’m a pretty progressive guy, pro-choice, pro-environment, pro-strong social programs etc. But I’m also a combat veteran, gun owner, shooting enthusiast, and avid deer hunter. I know that people like me are in the minority, but I believe there are more of us than the public at large might believe. I think this insane level of political pigeonholing we’ve seen the last few years is really preventing us from building a strong coalition of pro-2a folks from across the political spectrum. I realize that MA is never going to be a pro-gun mecca, but how do we bring more people into the fold so we can destroy this misconception that gun owners are all foaming at the mouth “gun-nuts” whose whole Personality revolves around what’s in their gun safe? If we can do that we might be able to get more people to listen to what we have to say when we oppose egregious overreach like ch.135
