They seem kind of LARPy and also not very secure, if it isn't a honeypot (which it might be, but I doubt it since they don't seem to encourage any illegal or subversive activity) it's still probably heavily infiltrated.
Is this the FBI or is it safe?
Joined it, havn't got a gun yet as I'm not sure where to get a gun that's not just supporting the big company domestic manufacturing financial interests that got the NRA to become ever so powerful. There is probably one or two Feds at your local chapter, they probably are the ones encouraging really dumb decisions like terrorist acts, not attending any rallies as bodyguards for protesters, or encouraging going to some pozzed shooting range.
Nope. There are no FBI agents in the SRA.
They're legit and legal. There are bound to be feds watching it, but that goes for any decent org.
It needs to define what it wants to be very clearly. Is it just a club for leftists to hang out and shoot guns and do some advocacy? Is it a paramilitary group? It kinda feels like it wants to be both. The former is well within their constitutional rights, but the issue with the latter is that there are liability issues and laws in many jurisdictions regarding paramilitary activity that opens up the organization to a lot of problems (the alt-right found this out after UTR). The John Brown Gun Clubs seems squarely in the latter as is Redneck Revolt.
Also seems to be a reaction to the NRA flying whole-whole towards the right. One time, Robert F. Williams (the author of "Negroes With Guns") helped arm black communities in the 50s for self-defense purposes and was an NRA chapter chair. The Monroe, N.C. chapter of the NRA he founded was called the Black Armed Guard.
Yeah I'm worried about gun ranges spying on them for the government. Gun ranges in America typically require photo ID so it'd be easy enough for the range to feed everyone's information to the feds – so even if the group is not infiltrated it wouldn't be hard to figure out who the members are. But I support the idea in principle.
Another group out there is the Pink Pistols which is an LGBT gun rights advocacy and self-defense group. They have some fun slogans like "Pick on someone your own caliber" and "armed gays don't get bashed." That's true. There was a spate of robberies in my neck of the woods targeting the gay population and then a dude shot one of the robbers during a stickup. There haven't been any robberies since.
We will shoot them with the guns they sell us. Guns in the US are mostly a monopoly if you're not getting anything used, and even then you may have to get some new part for the used gun .
If it's really legit I might seriously consider it.
good luck with that, the websiter doesn't even work.
probably just an FBI ip logger
The website is having some issues right now.
One thing I also hear from Zig Forums trolls is that the right has all the guns and in one of their stupid civil war fantasies the gun owners would not sell to leftists. Well I'll tell you where I live the gun owners don't give a damn who they sell guns to as long as the bare minimum legal requirements are met. The only color they care about is green. Go to a gun show and there will be cars in the parking lot with Mexican plates and you know there's shady business going on there. If drug cartels can arm themselves better than the Mexican military thanks to "patriotic" all-American gun dealers then the barriers to entry here are pretty low.
I did go shoot with one of their chapters and it was a lot of fun? Just as a social outing to shoot with likeminded people for a few hours on a weekend morning; tfw when no cute commie bf. That's the extent of my relationship with it. And people bring all these fun toys. I'm sick of going shooting and being stuck in a lane next to some guys that are like "aim for the black one!" (referring to their targets) then they both chuckle. Shit's annoying.
