Several niche, left-leaning gun advocacy groups said that since the killing of Alex Pretti by federal agents in Minneapolis, they can hardly keep up with the surging demand for firearms training.

With Donald Trump sending armed federal agents into communities around the country, even more once gun-shy liberals and leftists are considering getting armed.

And while Americans tend to think of gun owners as leaning more Republican and male, already more women, gay people and people of color have taken up arms in recent years, particularly after 2020.

    No one’s goal should be to convert, only educate when the subjects that are open to being educated approach with an open questioning mind. Is the come charging in with all the answers they are gonna hit a wall.

    They are the ones that want our help, they need to humble themselves and leave their hubris at the door

      In the war of ideas, you need to convert people to your cause. Education is a tool for that.

      No one is going to listen to your egotistical ass though, insisting they humble themselves at you? Since when have you or anyone wanted to listen to someone insisting you bow down to them?

      You really must’ve been raised in a conservative Christian environment, damn.

      Plus that’s entirely contradictory “I’m going to teach you to rebel but you have to submit to do that”? You’re a mess.
