    They would need to take a Midwestern stance on firearms most likely. Tbh a socialist would likely fit the role nicely. As the saying goes, “you get your guns back when you move far enough left”

      May I ask you to expand on that? What stance do Midwesterners take on gun rights?

      Also, oddly I didn’t get downvoted.

        its a legit question. I also want to see the the parent poster says, but I tend to agree

        socialist rifle association is a thing and I personally know strongly left of center peeps that are protective of their gun rights for all the obvious reasons you might care to think of. makes sense in many ways.

          I think I’m just used to the other site and getting down voted for any mention of gun rights support.

          I’m aware of SRA and dig what I’ve seen them do near Tucson. Maybe I should join.
