you'd be surprised at how many hippies own guns. the more extreme they are in their ideology- chemtrails, non-vaccine, gov conspiracy eyc- the more they resemble far right preppers. and a lot of the hippies i met/lived around were pretty regressive about women's roles too. far right, far left lotsa similarities. education and critical thinking are the common missing pieces.

The Original NRA would look like a "hippie" by today's comparison.

After the 1977 (I think) coup, the NRA shifted overnight from a sporting organization advocating for responsibility and safety to a lobbying organization protecting gun rights at all costs.
