For a long time, I tought that my paranoid excesses alone were responsible from driving Q away from TFL. Shere's yet another reason for that: she feels that gun owners are by and large either libertarians (whom she views as selfish and short-sighted bastards) or sexist bible-thumpers. She's got very tired of liberal-bashing on TFL, tired of hearing Democrats this and that and poor us white males...
I, personally, do not see how politics can be separated out of the debate. I can see not using the imprecise term "liberal", but overall, not sure how to make TFL palatable to some of our allies. I do find the concept of a pro-gun leftist/liberal/etc. strange, because they support gun ownership but do not acknowledge what those guns are for (ie. they tend to go for self-defense argument more than political importance).
However, we need folks like Q, and I just wonder what can be done to avoid driving away potential and even real allies like her.
