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.

Don't you already have to pass a background check to buy a gun?
Have you ever visited the SRA website or affiliated social media or websites from internet access you pay for without a VPN?
The government knows who I am lol. They assigned me a number at birth even. And I'm aware that they're monitoring these things and I have some level of digital footprint showing that I'm at least aware of the organization. But I would think that's different than being a card-carrying, dues-paying member of an explicitly armed socialist group with my name and address on file. Like I said, it's probably me being overly paranoid it just feels weird.
Yeah I get that. It only makes the feds job easier if everyone is already on a list lol.
Exactly. That was always one of the funnier parts about the NRA for me. All those people afraid to be on some secret government list that they signed up and put their name on a different list that did the same thing lol
This seems ripe to discuss with chud gun owners. "The NRA? You know the gun-grabbers in Washington have access to the membership rolls, right? I wouldn't touch that shit with a ten-foot pole."
