Naw, left leaning gun owners exist..there are literally dozens of us!

[โ€“] guazzabuglio@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago (3 children)

We definitely exist, but to the average American, a lefty gun owner is a unicorn.

I'm a member of the SRA. I'm not saying lefty gun owners don't exist. I'm just saying a lot of people don't see them.
