they need to learn that even if police wanted to protect them it would be difficult to respond to a deadly situation in time, so if they love themselves, their property, friends or family they should learn to protect them.
it may also benefit them to realize that not owning a gun does not keep weapons out of bad peoples hands. you know, typical pro-gun truths.
How do we get more people on the left to own guns and train with them for the future?

OP here, I think if people are advocating the destruction of capitalism via workers seizing the means of production and or the destruction of current state as it reinforces and maintains class division I think that is good enough, beyond that I am not too worried about the minor differences in how people thing that is achieved.
I want to promote a gun culture and gun talk that seems present in the right but really lacking here.
On the subject of guns milsurp is cool but something like an AR can be made for 400 from a stripped lower and a kit or a factory made AR can be had for around 500. SKS is around 500 but is limited in the size of the internal mag limiting it without modification to accept external mags.
In the realm of shotguns I suggest the mossberg 500 which can be had for 350 or the economy line which is the maverick 88 which differs slightly and is slightly less robust but can be had for 200 is fictional and reliable.
I personally am a bit of a handgun nut and own a number of them but I have a LC9S Pro for my carry gun along with my older carry a LCR in .38 special. For a full size striker fired 9mm I have the fullsize M&P.

they are not minor.

This is all true. A leftist gun culture and making a point of out of community and self defense is important.
Connor Harris
it's all a pipedream for you
nearly all left wingers in the USA are anti-gun
Have a relevant meme

Democrats are not Left.

I'm not talking about democrats, I'm talking about literally every socialist club I've ever been to. None advocate arming the working class, let alone themselves. It's self-defeating and a big reason I have to hang around right-wingers, they like to talk about guns.
a complete fucking joke that almost made me switch political ideologies entirely
Blake Morris
the Democratic Cops of America has a massive contingent of anti-gun members
if you can earnestly convert a right wing person to the left they'll be a much better socialist than a liberal, IMO. But its harder cuz they usually come with a lot of reactionary baggage.
Luis Murphy
Just because liberals are part of a "socialist club" doesn't mean they are socialists.
