Liberal Gun Club

The Liberal Gun Club is an American gun owners group composed primarily of people with left-of-center political views. The group has a pro-2nd Amendment position on gun ownership.[1]

In regards to gun control, the group favors "root cause mitigation for violence prevention, stronger mental health care, addressing poverty, homelessness and unemployment rather than focusing on prohibiting or restricting one tool.” They also generally oppose "assault weapon" bans, but individual members have a wide range of opinions.[2] In 2014, the group had about 1,200 members.[3]
