I'm a white, Christian, male firearms enthusiast from Texas.

That's a tough combination when I'm also extremely leftist.

dang, must be like dodging land mines

There’s very few firearms channels I will watch.

InRangeTV, Lucky Gunner and PSR are about it.

You are one mini stroke from switching teams aggressively.

I think Christian Leftists are based and cool, you're basically THE Christians who care about what Christ actually wanted for us, but also because you're on the Left you run into r/Atheist type chuds all the time, meaning you work with people who are hostile to you because you know that it's the right thing to do.

That's pretty based and cool.

I'm not Christian myself, I learn more Buddhist in my spirituality, and even then I'm more agnostic on my ideas about God, but there's a lot I legitimately respect about the faith.

Buddhism isn't a theological religion. There simply is no god in Buddhism. There are gods, yes, but they are just part of Samsara, the cycle of birth and rebirth, like everybody else.

So beeing agnostic is right in point in that regard, if not even completly atheistic.

I did differentiate my spirituality from my ideas on God for a reason.

Why only a "male firearms enthusiast", what about the female firearms? Maybe your not as big of a leftist as you thought.

All firearms are female, they accept things inside of them and then at some point in the future they expel a smaller-but-not-identical version of that same thing. Also some of them are queens and the government wants to control them. Ammunition is male, its entire job is to get inside and shoot its shot, and many people consider it expendable and interchangeable.

One's sex is not a political stance...

It's an Oxford comma joke. The way it's structured reads like "male-firearms" enthusiast, as in an enthusiast of "male firearms".

Me getting hot and bothered when cocking the shotgun

[–] 0ops@lemm.ee 1 points 6 hours ago

I'll suck your Glock for a thousand dollars

[–] Retropunk64@reddthat.com 1 points 18 hours ago

If there's no and is it still an oxford comma?

[–] atthecoast@feddit.nl 17 points 1 day ago

Well, history shows leftists have been known to use firearms plenty

[–] Gloomy@mander.xyz 16 points 1 day ago (2 children)

In all fairness, male firearms are the shit 😉

This is my rifle, this is my gun?

[–] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 4 points 19 hours ago

You want a fun read look up the official ATF inquiry letters about the "tactical fleshlight" where they're asking if it counts as a stock or a brace, making it either a short-barreled rifle or a pistol.
