Saw a post on reddit a while back that gun owners wouldn't stand up for liberal causes because liberals keep trying to take their guns. Pretty thin argument but they're all cowards so whatever straw there is to grasp I guess they will firmly grasp

That is what the authoritarians who actually want to take away their guns keep telling them!

It may be a thin argument, but also... very accurate in practice. Politicians have been incredibly effective at sorting gun owners to just one side of the political spectrum.

Yep, it's also convenient that most gun owners are in the "leopards would never eat MY face" side of that spectrum too
