THE GUN CLUB
This is a living document: Always open to critique and change. This is a beginning: Something to build upon.
My/our hope is to create an exchange of ideas, information, and skills in relation to guns and ammunition. Specifically, we want to share all of this as it pertains to the urban metropolis and without the reactionary political element too often associated with weaponry and defense.
It is imperative to embrace all skill levels; from expert to novice. Elitist attitudes will only alienate and isolate. As a non-hierarchical entity, there is no room for this type of division. Those with knowledge and/or skill are to freely share it for the common good.
Self-defense: Arms are to be maintained in the broad sense of “self-defense”: In defense of ourselves as individuals, our families (however defined), our communities, and our world.
As anti-authoritarians, we do not recognize any body as having natural reign over us. However, we do acknowledge the importance of recognizing, defending, and expanding the legal state apparatus that allows us to bear arms.
Forward.
thanks for starting this important project. i would like to contribute in any way i can. the gun-rights community is dominated by right-wing politics. there is a certain traditionalist line you have to tow if you want to deal with the mainstream pro-gun community, and I hate having to do it every time I go on calguns to ask a question. it's not only important for anti-authoritarians to have a resource devoted to firearms information, but it's also important for anti-authoritarians at large to start thinking and talking about guns and this notion of self-defense.
