I'd never actually looked closely into the stances or activity of the SRA, but I'd only ever heard positive things about them, so it's surprising to hear that they are pro-US-imperialism. But I suppose I shouldn't be surprised that a moderately large organization right in the heart of Seppoland would be doing Seppo shit. Still, I would like to know more about why you classify them as pro-US-imperialism.
Yeah I've been involved with them in varying degrees for the last several years, and I've never seen anything questionable from the leadership or regular members. Save for the occasional troll that gets into the Slack just to start drama, and is promptly kicked out
I've got minimal experience with SRA, but I would say that if that's your only local option, then join up. Whatever issues they may or may not have as a national org, you're going to be meeting friendly people in your area that you can learn from and/or teach about firearms.
Their members support rojava against the syrian government, and ukraine against russia. There was even an "anarcho-communist" group that tried to recruit for ukraine a few years ago, that many people got banned from their subreddit for criticizing. Also, they're very anti-china on "anti-authoritarian" grounds.
I'm not sure if these are official positions, but if all your group is doing is building opposition to all the US's main enemies, and convincing your members to adopt pro-US foreign policy positions, then you're nothing but a settler gang.
anti-imperialism and anti-US foreign policy should be item #1 on any US-based gun org. Otherwise, it's settlerism.
It's illogical and naive to believe that an anti-U.S. armed group in the U.S. would be allowed to roam freely, if they're not made for propaganda to its members then it's to write down a list of suspect the moment leftists start moving, in a real revolution in the U.S. the members of these groups will just end up either fighting for the U.S. or arrested in the same day.
I'm a white dude in the imperial core
As long as you aren't joining a pro-US-imperialist group like the socialist rifle association, there's nothing wrong with arming up.

See my comment below. Their members need to ask their higher ups those questions.

What have they done/said to support US imperialism?
