Hello World! NorCal native in SoCal here!

Hi Everyone,

Native of "Commiefornia" here thats currently in SoCal. Guns are a big hobby of mine, and I own a handful. Unfortunately, many of the ones I would love to have are plain illegal to own in CA as a civie.

I consider myself a "liberal", but with how many "liberals" are acting these days... its been tough. I, along with many of my left leaning buddies have felt abandoned by the "mainstream left".

"Why be informed if you can use your feelings as your facts?"

Got myself a Mossberg 500, a Ruger American Rimfire, an M48, and a S&W M&P Shield. My #1 on the "to buy" list at the moment is a CZ 75BD. With how stupidly expensive things like rent are in CA and how much red tape there is for anything firearms related, I don't get as much range time as I would like.

The other gun related groups around (the largest 2 as examples), I find to be pants-on-head crazy. Here's to a relatively sane and reasonable group! :thumbup:

Ive found the vast majority of people belong in 1 of 2 groups. People who have never heard or possibly never have used a CZ, and people who like CZ.
Welcome from NJ! This spring and summer I was "lucky enough" to drive almost the whole length of Cali, from Irvine to Eugene, OR, in May, then back again a couple of weeks ago!
(my son went to Eugene to work for the summer).

I shot a CZ when I was shopping for my first handgun. I hated it. It double-fired on me, the only handgun that did, and I couldn't hit anything with it. It was one of a few that were instantly DQ'd and didn't even get ranked. I ended up with a VP9 and later a P320 RX.

Welcome from SW Wa.

"Why be informed if you can use your feelings as your facts?"
You've pretty much stated my understanding of the right wing thought process there!

Now to enable you some:
The sooner you buy the CZ 75BD the better, great gun!

Welcome!

I have no idea what your statements mean. How do "liberals" act these days? I have never heard of "the mainstream left". What does that mean? Is there really such a thing?

Though I don't subscribe to everything Dave Rubin says, he does a decent job at describing the situation.

That’s about the most foolish bullshit I’ve heard in a while. There may be some ideas there that don’t suck, but prying them loose from that pile of ahistorical fantasy and misunderstanding of political meanings would be difficult to say the least.

To say that Trump’s win was a rejection of identity politics is to abet the very view that whiteness is the default for humanity. You wanna fall for the silly word games of the alt white; declaring that mentioning race is racist and that objecting to Nazi mobs is an affront to free speech, be my guest. At least have the decency to go so far as to read a history book or two, so as to be able to use terms like “left” “liberal” “classical liberal” “right” and “identity politics” in a way that aligns with what those words actually mean rather than how they are used by people who think Barack Obama is a Socialist.
