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.

It's not an op but the national org fucking sucks.
The SRA is about your chapter and networking with other leftists in your area to do mutual aid with, shoot with, build solidarity and do leftist shit with. My chapter does mutual aid and distribution, game nights, we did a theory study session via Jitsi, and we still hit the range in small groups.
