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.
Context: Pirro is talking about the people who commit law-breaking offenses while armed, accountability for that. Like Pretti, he committed several law-breaking federal offenses while armed even though he had a permit.
Pretti did not have his I D or legal permit on his person and therefore was using his legal permit illegally.
Context: Hundreds of people are mentioned in the Epstein files. We have known since 2016 that Trump was mentioned in the Epstein files, Trump told us himself and Elon Musk verified it last year by simply telling us what we already knew and that was that Trumps name appears in the Epstein files. We also know that at one point in the past Trump had a friendship with Epstein as did hundreds of others, and when he found out about what Epstein was doing Trump broke off the friendship and booted Epstein out of the Mar-a-Lago resort and had nothing else to do with Epstein after that. We also know that despite Miner49er’s repeated lies that Trump had raped some of Epstein’s victims and that Trump had sex with one of Epstein’s underage (at the time) victims that those victims have all come forward and cleared Trump of any wrong doing and denied such events happened. We also know there was a concerted effort by the left wing and conspiracy freaks for years to link Trump to such wrong doing, and they did it by lies and implying and faking information (some of this I covered here at SNW in previous debunking of Miner49er’s lies on the subject). Even the democrat members of congress earlier in this Trump term attempted to fake some emails (by deliberately removing them from context) and presented them to the public as if genuine evidence of wrong doing by Trump, they got caught at it.
Epstein had a thing, a sort of obsession – he would record information on all people of note or influence he met or had a relationship with. There are literally hundreds if not thousands of names of these people sprinkled through all of the Epstein files and documents. Simply having a name mentioned in relation to or in the Epstein files does not mean wrong doing. Epstein met these people at various times and places, social gatherings, in business dealings, etc… and he would simply record information about them.
To date the only notable U.S. political figure that is implicated directly in possible wrong doing in relation to Epstein or the Epstein files and the Epstein victims is former president Bill Clinton and former first lady Hillary Clinton. Bill Clinton visited Epstein Island numerous times despite in the past denying he ever did – there is eyewitness testimony and pictures from the Epstein files about this and other information. However, there are numerous U.S. and international politicians that had some connection to Epstein at some point. Both Bill and Hillary Clinton refused to appear before Congress under subpoena to testify in relation to their relationship with Epstein and where in contempt of congress and threatened with action on that, within the last two days they have changed their minds and now say they will testify.
Despite claims by left wingers and conspiracy freaks and Miner49er, there is no evidence that Trump ever visited Epstein Island. There was a time in the past when Trump did accept loan of Epstein’s private jet to fly somewhere for business but that was before Trump knew about Epstein’s darker side and ended their friendship. It was not uncommon for Epstein to loan his private jet out to friends and lots of people flew on Epstein’s jet and appear in the flight logs as well.
To date there is zero evidence of any wrong doing by Trump in relation to Epstein or the Epstein files and any such wrong doing implied by Miner49er in his above comments is not true – but that’s what we have come to expect from Miner49er, lack of context understanding, no actual research, removing things from context to imply something that did not happen, and a dedicated effort to lie. If there is actual evidence that comes out of wrong doing by Trump in relation to Epstein or the Epstein files I’m pretty sure the whole world will know about it, but to date there has not been even one shred of actual evidence shown which substantiates any wrong doing by Trump in relation to Epstein or the Epstein files.
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???
