51. Bring 'em on
I do believe the weakness of the far left is the appearance we are unarmed and helpless. Understand that many liberals are afraid of guns or weapons. Maybe for those who have never been around them they are something to be feared, but I believe and I may be wrong, the day will come when the rightwing if not deterred will see the far-left liberal as something to eliminate one way or another.

Liberals can learn to appreciate firearms and can learn to handle them safely. Some weapons are inherently safe just by design. For instance revolvers and double barrel shotguns with exposed hammers are what I consider very safe and easy to use.

You don't have to be an NRAer to be weaponized. Many many people are gun owners and users and don't belong to NRA. I used to many years ago before it became a politicized right-wing organization. But if the left were known as gun-owners it wouldn't be long before the NRA would be wooing us for membership, then of course they would have to change their policy of right-wing BS and moderate the organization to what is was at one time. Just a place for hunters and shooters to get information on guns and shooting, not politics.

I may be wrong!!!
