press, Media, and writers
It’s 2026. The story of “liberals now own guns, too” is almost a decade old at this point. It’s been hashed and re-hashed by every mainstream outlet possible. Be prepared to be challenged on your angle. There’s a good chance we won’t be participating in your piece if your only contribution is another version of liberals being attracted to gun ownership because of social unrest or the Trump / MAGA phenomenon. Everyone gets it. It’s time to move on to other things. We want to be helpful. But our dedication is to thought leadership, not media exposure. Let’s find some angles that improve the situation.
Lib-Gunners Out In The World
If you are a gun owner or if you are considering gun ownership, and you have philosophies and political views that lean left, then we want you to know that we have a secure and enjoyable place for you to discover or further develop your enthusiasm for firearms. This goes for independent minds, free-thinkers, and anyone who can put differences aside to constructively engage in a community built upon passion and enjoyment. Yes, firearms are a social and political issue. Yes, in a separate forum, we engage in those discussions respectfully and hardily. However, our primary purpose is not to proselytize for any aspect of gun politics or gun laws. We all work on behalf of the Second Amendment in our own individual ways. The main purpose of LGO’s Facebook Group (LGOFB) is to support gun owners who are liberal, but who also understand or are seeking to understand the enjoyment of firearms.
Some liberals are just at the stage where life, or the current political division in the country, has stimulated a desire in them to further their approach to awareness and self-defense. This, of course, is a legitimate awakening in our eyes. We have room for that as well. At the end of the day, there is a point where many experienced liberal gun owners just want to put aside the noise of the debates, and enjoy talking about guns with their buddies. This is the heart and soul of our online presence - not setting the establishment on fire. Inside of LGOFB, it's firearms enjoyment and learning first. Understanding this truth seems to be a sticking point with many liberals and leftists who have attempted to join our community. We are liberals, indeed. But it is no issue for us to understand that a person's politics can be relaxed, and holstered when it's time to unwind.
Great things come out of this kind of repose.
For the record, in order to achieve the maturity and success that we have with LGO, we have had to engage in denying entry to thousands of toxic conservatives. But certainly and extensively, we have had to police our own community and eject toxic leftists from our circle. Being an asshole is not something that stops at the right side of the political spectrum. It's an issue on both sides. Liberal Gun Owners is welcoming to mature and constructive people. We have suffered long at holding to the precept of absolute inclusion while we let politically manic leftists, and leftists with their own agenda, run roughshod all over our forum. Those days are over. If you are a decent person, and can comprehend and support our mission and conduct rules in forum, then you will receive unending support for your experience with firearms.
If you are sincere in your desire to join a community where open-minded and mature people talk about and enjoy gun ownership, then please come and check out our Facebook page. Facebook is the current center of our community activity. There are two entry questions that you need to answer. If you pass muster, you will be allowed to join. It's that simple.
