    This article is great and all…. But it’s kind of missing the biggest barrier of entry by a long margin.

    How the hell are leftists, the working class, and students supposed to afford firearms, ammunition, and necessary equipment??? How and where are they supposed to find the time and money to devote to a range, that is if they find one that isn’t crawling with Nazis?

      This 100%. We used to have a nice outdoor shooting range out in a forestry in my area that was free to come and go. Except certain days of the week it was closed to fucking cops. Then they changed it to having to buy a pass…that you can only get in person… From the vendor that’s ONLY OPEN a couple days a week, never on weekends, from like 9am to 3pm… So if you are a normal person with a job or students attending classes fuck you. They basically did all they could to unofficially make it a cop only range.

      The “third-person” series are randos the Vox editors find online. I’m pretty sure “woke sjw progressive yas queen feminist pro abortion rights imperialist neolib” is the only ideology allowed for an actual Vox employee.

        A lot of these publications allow anarchists, since their foreign policy aligns with western imperialist goals of balkanizing the US’s main enemies.
