Would be funny if this is how gun control becomes a thing in America. A bunch of greedy landlords unable to overcharged people for rent because the neighbourhood is deemed unsafe start lobbying the government to get guns under control because it's affecting their bottom dollar.
Is it that much different from how fun control became a thing in California?
The "wrong" people have to start enjoying guns is all
Join the SRA! (Socialist Rifle Association). We are the wrong people! We either arm the vanguard (not actually a goal) or we get more common sense gun laws implemented. It's a win win.
In more serious terms, think of it as an organization where you can learn responsible gun ownership without being surrounded by maga hats. You don't need to consider yourself a socialist to join. Though there is a basic vetting process to keep the maga hats out.
I've been trying to look into joining the minnesota chapter but their website appears to do nothing but point to their socials. I'm not on social media (privacy concerns, fuck Elon and Zuck) so I'm at a bit of an impasse on how to learn more.
I'm not a part of that chapter but I sent my initial request email and it took about 4-5 months to be contacted. Most chapters have been overwhelmed since the election.
If your chapter is active you're basically waiting for an email and they'll get you invited to the discord for new members. At least that's how my chapter did it. Small yearly membership fee.
I didn't join as a national member. Just a "local comrade". So just a member of my local chapter. No idea how national membership works.
This is also my problem. Hi there fellow Minnesotan, just gonna scooch right past ya there.
