I’m not convinced the sudden surge in posts from otherwise left-leaning people encourage gun ownership aren’t at least partially perpetuated by an astroturfing campaign on behalf of gun manufacturers
If you haven’t seen leftists and left leaning people advocating for gun ownership then you haven’t been looking. Groups like the SRA, JBGC, and Pink Pistols have been around for at least a decade and are rapidly growing in size.
If you go far enough left, you get your guns back.
My gut feeling is just that discourse shifted rapidly regarding left leaning gun owners over the last year or so, and I can’t help but suspect it’s not partially driven by the gun industry trying to get more people interested in buying guns.
But yeah I’ve known about several left-leaning organizations directly supporting gun ownership for quite a while now
There are many types of power that people should have, martial among them. Without force, it isn’t possible to hold leaders to account if they decide to forego the interests of the people they lead.

Hahaha the left have guns. We just don’t wave them around in public like children.

No more than yours could be an astroturf by forces attempting to deter civil unrest. Lotta tinfoil to be found in supposin’.
I’m just jaded and struggle to not assume that everything online telling people to buy something isn’t a marketing campaign of some sort
