    Ive been called a nazi for liking firearms.

    Meanwhile, I openly support antifa.

    So im not sure this is completely accurate.

      People aren’t always rational. I’m anti-gun in general, but I’m also very pro-antifa and am fully aware that means shooting nazis when it comes to it.

      I’m not against people owning weapons, I’m against the fetishisation of them and I believe they belong in secure storage or for hunting, not strapped to an idiot in Walmart, in people’s videos, or posed with proudly on Christmas cards like a damned Taliban photoshoot.

      There’s a time and a place, and that’s not everywhere all the time, such that minor fistfights become shootouts at the corral.

      I’m pretty left, but I’d never call a regular gun owner a nazi. Whoever said that is an idiot.
