“I’ve written this many times in this sub, but having a rational minded gun enthusiast college room mate flipped me 180. I grew up in as a liberal, immigrant minority, in suburban Chicago. Ticked all the boxes for hating the idea of guns, without ever having seen one.



Hearing someone logic through guns was very enlightening. For the lack of better words, most left leaning gun haters see gun lovers as uneducated redneck trash who point their weapons in every direction. And while that may represent some of the population, it is far from being the majority. And it’s that calmer approach which convinced me.”
