Announcing the Liberal Gun Forum - a rallying point for Pro-gun perspectives from the Left.
There are many internet gun forums, and while most of them do a great job of disseminating technical knowledge, most of them are rather poor at outreach, especially where liberals are concerned. Many forums end up being an "echo chamber" where the same opinions are heard over and over, often right-wing opinions that have little or nothing to do with the RKBA.
When a liberal wants information about guns, often they have to wade through anti-left posts that discourage participation. This has the unfortunate effect of pushing away people who might otherwise have been amenable to learning about guns, gun safety, and 2nd amendment rights.
This is a forum intended to give voices to thousands of pro-gun liberals in our country. The DC vs. Heller ruling is the perfect occasion to launch the site. We firmly believe that the 2nd amendment should not be a left vs. right issue, any more than the right to free speech or the right to a fair trial. These are core American values, and we recognize that.
