A gun in a box disguising it as a little free library. A raspberry pi scrapes Zillow for open jouses nearby. During open house jours, it tells a starter pistol / cap gun to fire a few times. Seen here at an art thing I brought it to.

Is it that much different from how fun control became a thing in California?

The "wrong" people have to start enjoying guns is all

    Join the SRA! (Socialist Rifle Association). We are the wrong people! We either arm the vanguard (not actually a goal) or we get more common sense gun laws implemented. It's a win win.

    In more serious terms, think of it as an organization where you can learn responsible gun ownership without being surrounded by maga hats. You don't need to consider yourself a socialist to join. Though there is a basic vetting process to keep the maga hats out.

    I'm not a part of that chapter but I sent my initial request email and it took about 4-5 months to be contacted. Most chapters have been overwhelmed since the election.

    If your chapter is active you're basically waiting for an email and they'll get you invited to the discord for new members. At least that's how my chapter did it. Small yearly membership fee.

    I didn't join as a national member. Just a "local comrade". So just a member of my local chapter. No idea how national membership works.

    Think the FBI hangs out with y’all, post-9/11-mosque style? Which was very nice and not harassy of them

    Wonder if members are safer given you’ll all be more knowledgeable than average or whether fascists would make a point to target the group as the rights situation further declines.

    Hopeful the midterms magically change things somehow and we don’t devolve into this conversation being incredibly relevant/important and it can stay a no-knowledge theoretical comment of mine

    It's most peoples understanding that being a member of any organization that has "socialist" in the name can make you a target for fascist. But I think it's also most peoples perspective that EVERYONE is a target for fascist eventually. There is no defense in just sitting by and hoping that you're the last to be targeted.

    As a straight white male it's definitely a privileged position to not have to be as concerned yet.

    The SRA itself is not at all political though and members are discouraged from doing any organizing that could be connected directly to the organization. It's basically meant to be a safe space for people to learn responsible gun ownership. Something that is usually dominated by the "maga hats".
