I've recently indulged myself in a firearm after Kenosha and militant groups in my area have started making a name for themselves, so I've been exploring the SRA and it's various media outlets to see what it's about, but something about it all is just, off.

To quote a movie line from a movie of which I cannot remember the name, "It's too quiet."

More specifically, I'm well aware that the SRA is meant to be a decentralized organization, but despite being left wing the leadership is completely radio silent, and I'm just expected to give all my information, name, birthday, address, etc to some sign up page so I can recieve some rinky dinky SRA card and patch? That's sketch as fuck.

And I know how much leftists care about OpSec shit, yet the SRA sorta has a "Come on in! :-)" attitude that a CIA officer would put in place to rud out local chapters and spy on them through their laptop cameras, or insert a CIA plant to pull a Michigan situation and lock up a bunch of lefists under some bullshit terrorism charges.

(And I know it's not crazy to assume the security state hasn't already found all the information on me, but like, still man.)

This shit is incredibly sketch as fuck, a leftist gun organization and no transparency? If someone wants to de-schizo me and convince me that the SRA isn't an OP, then by all means go ahead, but for now I'll remain independent of this socialist honeypot.

    Well back when I was in it there was a very present leadership and national comms on slack, but they sort of just turned into a meme page and the leadership felt like it was takinking away from the purpose of firearms education so they pushed people off of that and mostly into individual chapter comms. I lost touch with the org completely around when covid hit and haven't really paid much attention to it but I've intended to rejoin for a while. I did disaster relief with a few other people in the org and it was cool but that's the extent of what I did irl with the org bc most events were pretty far away from me.

      But from my time with them they were very serious about only ever doing education and mutual aid, no militia shit, no armed demonstrations or you get the boot. Unless things have radically changed I don't see how a michigan situation could happen unless someone got through the veting process and agitated individual members to do something .

      Slack is now a vestibule to get people into the local chapter's comms. I hear some chapters use signal

        My chapter is on discord but most members also have signal and use that for some comms
