I have a lot of ties to III%er groups, gun rights groups, and the general gun culture. Not a minute goes buy where some new gun related thing doesn't pass on my facebook feed. An article by the BBC about liberals buying guns made its round. I posted that article here, but here is a referesher.

The response I have seen I would expect from the anti-gun left, but no, it is coming largely from flyover country and other so called conservatives.
In one post, I said "Liberals buying guns is a good thing. People don't often advocate taking away something they spent money on. It's also a life changing event for a lot of people in terms of understanding freedom and liberty".
A pretty benign statemtn that got more likes than most pithy statements I make on facebook about cooking or other family items.
Some response that were consistent with what I was seeing across the board in other posts:
From somebody I don't know "Let's hope I'm wrong about not wanting armed liberals because how they behave. Everyone of those cop deaths has been with legal and illegal guns used by liberal democrat gun owners"
From somebody else I don't know "The left lives in a sea of hypocrisy, they will learn nothing by owning guns."
But here are some other odd responses I saw floating, not in response to my post:
"I can't believe the mixed feeling I have right now! I usually encourage everyone I know to shoot. Not sure about this? These idiots will shoot someone because they say something offensive or hurt their feelings."
"The Dallas shooting of cops by a white hating democrat was done with a legal rifle. So I for one don't trust mentally ill people with guns (liberals are mentally ill)... Gun crime by liberals and democrats will increase.
"They should ban all libs and dems from buying guns. They should practice what they preach..."
"Liberals owning guns will kickstart the revolution Obama wants... rest not worth posting."
"Liberals should be restricted from buying any type of weapons until they can demonstrate that they have the common sense & ability to use them properly." Clearly this guy isn't familiar with how the average police man is trained.
Sound to me like too many in the gun culture like having their thing and really aren't concerned about gun rights as much as having a cause to fight, and themselves be victims. Pathetic really.
Glad that more people actually agreed with my stance that liberals owning more guns is a good thing.
"In the world I see you are stalking elk through the damp canyon forests around the ruins of Rockefeller Center. You'll wear leather clothes that will last you the rest of your life. You'll climb the wrist-thick kudzu vines that wrap the Sears Towers. And when you look down, you'll see tiny figures pounding corn, laying stripes of venison on the empty car pool lane of some abandoned superhighway." T Durden
