Is it though? As long as one is relatively reasonable. There's even gun communities here, even if they're pretty dead at the moment. Time for me to come up with some memes maybe.

    I guess so, it's just that if I say I support the right to own a gun, I get downvoted in most communities

    Yeah, in heavily left-wing spaces guns give people the wigglies. Even if it's not rights, the general fact we live in a world with them is something people try to memory hole.

    You and I define "heavily left-wing" quite differently then. The far-left has always supported gun rights and armed struggle. It's the political centre and parts of the right that are blanket anti-gun.

    Happened to me once. Nearly killed my desire to discuss firearms here on Lemmy. Not sure if this is true, but I feel that most people on Lemmy are likely anti-gun. Maybe the more liberal mindset of many people in the wider open source community has some part in it. Either way, I just want to dispel all the false claims about guns and their ownership. And some don't want to hear it.
