Gun Control & RKBA
Showing Original Post only (View all)Are there any liberal militias I can join? [View all]
The reason I ask is not because I actually want to join a militia. Rather, it is related to a commonly discussed topic in the gungeon, which is whether or not gun control is a liberal policy. For example, there was a recent OP in the gungeon entitled "Does not agreeing with the DNC about gun control make me less of a Democrat?"
Anyway, back to militias. The question "Are there any liberal militias I can join?" is obviously a rhetorical question, used to make the point that most pro-gun extremists, like the militia people, tend to come from the fringe right.
But y'all knew that. The question is, why would an OP making this point get locked?

That's up to the forum mods. I agree with his comment, however I would have phrased it differently.

You know exactly what you are doing. Disrupting and inflaming, not discussing as you claim. nt

In California there is a state militia that is in many ways a backup to the National Guard

So your point is that none of us here are extremist because we do not belong to militias?
