Several niche, left-leaning gun advocacy groups said that since the killing of Alex Pretti by federal agents in Minneapolis, they can hardly keep up with the surging demand for firearms training.
With President Donald Trump sending armed federal agents into communities around the country, even more once gun-shy liberals and leftists are considering getting armed. And while Americans tend to think of gun owners as leaning more Republican and male, already more women, gay people and people of color have taken up arms in recent years, particularly after 2020.
Weekend classes at L.A. Progressive Shooters are sold out through March. Registrations for permit-to-carry courses at Pink Pistols Twin Cities, which serves LGBTQ people in Minneapolis and St. Paul, are up from an average of five people per class to 25 — the group recently added seven more courses to accommodate increased interest, and those are filling up, too. To paraphrase a recent meme: The right is arguing for gun control, and the left is buying guns.
“In the past couple of days, there has been a shift,” Lara Smith, national spokesperson for the Liberal Gun Club, says. “This changed views on the left.”

“What Makes CNN Think the Right Is Pushing for Gun Control“
Maybe the fact that the top federal prosecutor in Washington DC, Judge Jeanine Pirro is ignoring the law and the United States constitution and threatening to jail American gun owners?
“You bring a gun into the District, you mark my words, you’re going to jail. I don’t care if you have a license in another district and I don’t care if you’re a law abiding law owner somewhere else. You bring a gun into this District, count on going to jail“
Y’all been snookered once again, how embarrassing for you.
Meanwhile the limited release of the Epstein files is showing Donald Trump closely involved with Epstein for 15 years, with thousands of mentions in the files.
Oh man did you fall for it.
Yes he did.
MajorSkidmarks,
Once again, you self-identify as an idiot. You are wrong in virtually every particular of your demented rant. Yes, Pirro did make such an idiot comment (haven’t checked to see if you transcribed it correctly, but the general tenor is correct). And that represents “the Right” how, exactly???
I guess, being a brainless Leftist/fascist, you are unfamiliar with the concept of ‘independent thought’ (or, perhaps more accurately, unfamiliar with the concept of ‘thought’, at all), but . . . all ‘Right-wingers’ (an incredibly stupid, useless, and undefined category) do not agree on all issues (unlike you moronic Leftist/fascists, who can’t micturate successfully without instructions from your cell leader).
I fully and heartily agree that each and every Leftist/fascist has exactly the same RKBA, and subject to the same actually-constitutional limitations, as do us ‘Right-wingers’ – and the same responsibilities and risks (perhaps you should discuss this with your buddy Grosskreutz, eh??). And if they deploy their weapon in my presence, in a way that threatens me? I have the right to ‘pop a cap in their ass’.
You Leftist/fascist @$$holes want to strap up?? Welcome to the party, but your Leftist teflon won’t stop bullets as well as it stops honest news stories. Oh, and you REMAIN too stupid to insult.
The right is not arguing for gun control. The right is arguing and hoping for left wing violent extremism and mental illness control – so the right does not need to start over running and shooting them just to defend ourselves and country from their mental illness violent invasion and threatening our families and children like they routinely do.
The left has been buying guns for a long time, this is not new. Its just that it was mostly the non-liberal left that was right of the left center with a touch of some ‘conservative’ nuisances and they were a smaller part of the entire left wing spectrum (and the area on the left has been shrinking because they are crossing the center and moving right). It didn’t get noticed much as it was low key and mostly focused on hunting and sport shooting on an occasional convenience basis like an accessory instead of as an exercise of a constitutional right and rates of purchase were spread out over long periods of time enough to get lost in the ‘statistical clutter’. This area also included the part of the left wing that shed the democrat party and voted for Trump in 2024.
Now we are seeing more left wing liberal (left of the left wing center) to far left wing purchasing guns. This is the area that represents the largest part of the left wing and encompasses the majority of ‘democrat politicians’ and anti-gun and mental illness and violent extremism and LGBTQ+, and is now completely Marx*ist Soci* alist. But although claiming its a constitutional right, and it is and its for all law abiding Americans – its their reasons for suddenly embracing the 2A and that reasoning overall is for intentional nefariousness and violence and heinous acts against conservatives and the federal government because their mental illness state is driving them.
Haven’t “leftist and liberal gun groups” been seeing a rush of new members for decades? Is this the same long rush or is it fickle, short-lived bursts of interest? Or is nothing the media reports really worth anything?
Desperately censoring my opinion is not only an abandonment of the free expression ideal of the American Way, it’s also the reason you folks are losing the battle for the soul of America.

Lol no
MajorSkidmarks,
WHY on earth would I want to ‘censor’ your idiot opinions??? I LOVE IT when Leftist/fascist idiots self-identify. And apparently you want all your Leftist/fascist buddies to arm up? Cool! You have the same rights as do I. Given your affinity for “common-sense (heh!) gun laws”, and your obvious disdain for the lawful exercise of the RKBA and self-defense, I highly doubt most Leftist/fascists will approach gun handling, carry, and tactics with the discipline it deserves, but, hey . . . that simplifies target selection in a riot situation, dunnit???
