        You'd be surprised. A lot of hunters (myself included) are very passionate about the idea of public land and this can be a good gateway to radicalization. As a person of color I was a little nervous getting into hunting and firearms a few years ago but I've found most people to be pretty friendly and as apolitical and sound-bite brained as most Americans.

            I think there's a lot to do about geography too. I'm out west with a ton of public land. I hear it's quite the opposite back east.

        I can tell you there is some strong overlap between right-wing leanings and being a hunter,

        ikr? God, i want to learn the whole tracking and finding prey animals thing so bad but just to shoot *pictures * of them. I want all the pretty pictures of all the pretty animals lol. I can't really get the thought process behind wanting to kill the thing. We have meat for sale anywhere, while screw with nature harder.
