Grateful for this sub, but...
It's great we have a community that isn't inundated with right-wing politics. But unfortunately, for those who don't already know, this sub is a bit of a laughing stock in other gun subs. And unfortunately I don't think it's entirely unwarranted-- some of the recent top posts have been:
--An extremely tacky rainbow Taurus handgun (like ffs people, even if you're poor you can do better than a Taurus. A CZ p10c is like $50 bucks extra)
--A Satanic Temple membership (Lucien Greaves is a piece of shit and the Satanic Temple is a massive grift)
--a black cowboy Marxist (like, cool but who the fuck cares????)
And dear god. So many Amazon red dots.
I guess I'm just saying that while I'm grateful this space exists, I think there's not nearly enough emphasis on getting quality gear and training, and too much emphasis on the identity politics aspect of being a liberal gun owner.
Sorry for the rant, just my two cents nobody asked for
