That rifle on the wall of the labourer’s cottage or working class flat is the symbol of democracy. It is our job to see that it stays there.-George Orwell

    This is so so accurate . I am an avowed socialist, anti-racist, and fan of ANTIFA. I remember going shooting with a neighbor who is at least MAGA adjacent and his expression when he saw my arsenal of various tactical firearms, and that I really like H&K. And believe in go .308 or go home. And I’m quite capable of exploiting the longer range of the 7.62x51 over the 5.56. Anyway, he found out that we have guns and know how to use them too. I changed some minds that day.
