Spend a moment to reflect on the fact that you’re confidently incorrect in response to someone who lives here and has spent a considerable amount of time in all corners of the region.
Aside from NYC and DC, the “strictest gun laws in the country” are still some of the loosest gun laws in the world. Even at an FFL dealer it’s basically an instant background check and a three-day waiting period. Not to mention all the gun shows, unless you think someplace like Eugene, OR is a secret MAGA bastion—in-between all the Occupy, BLM, and pro-Palestinian protests, I mean.
In Seattle my coworkers were some of the most heavily-armed coworkers I’ve ever had in any part of the country. They all had small armories. My old boss cast his own bullets from lead ingots. My neighbor in Oregon could probably supply the entire neighborhood if needed, although of course I’d be set. My leftist friend I just had lunch with the other day was just telling me about his collection of handguns and rifles. I guess the neighbor who runs a daycare nearby probably doesn’t have any, though. And no, I don’t live in the boonies.
Reusing this from my other comment…you may think you are, and you might be the most armed of the left in the states, but you still have enough lefties who vote for some of the strictest gun laws in the country.
It’s not rocket science. Yes PNW is more left but it’s still no where near the south or the rest of the red states.
Please provide me info that shows the left is even remotely armed like the right wing in this country. You can downvote all you want but it doesn’t magically make those on the left armed.
No we’re claiming that lefties being “lots of them armed” in the PNW is bullshit.

But by all means, feel free to underestimate us.

What? You got AWB and high cap mag bans…and 3 day waiting periods…you do have some of the strictest gun control on the books.
Idaho is the only place that has very little gun laws, but the majority of the left doesn’t live there.

Idaho has voted red for decades now, so please don’t tell me there are tons of lefties there…
Citation needed? Your imagination does not dictate reality… where did you hear this? Seriously
