If you aren't familiar with it, there are several Reddit "subreddits" dedicated to Seattle and the surrounding area. They tend to get a lot of visibility with younger technologically included people. I will admit that I read them, and sometimes post.

The two majors ones are:
http://www.reddit.com/r/seattle
http://www.reddit.com/r/seattlewa

As a commonly visited venue, I think we should try to upvote/advocate our normal/mainstream views, and ensure that extremist views are down-voted. Many people try to associate extremist views with us and our hobby, which I believe we need to clarify. We want to ensure that people don't gain a warped perception of firearm owning individuals, thinking that we are all lunatics. There are crazies in every crowd, let's ensure everybody knows they aren't the norm.

I would love to see us, as a community, visit these conversations and voice our mainstream views. The last thing we want is crazy lunatics speaking for us.

Currently there is this thread:

Apparently some jackasses are wandering the streets with guns, thinking this will better our case.

When they disagree with my opinion, I am a white supremacist white nationalist lunatic looking to enslave all minorities and take away the safety nets to a safe society.

That was all because I mentioned a hard days work never hurt anyone since civilization began.

They worry that a self reliant society will become white supremacy and enslavement of minorities will happen instantly. A direct disrespect towards minorities the likes of which I cannot comprehend but that’s how they seem to think.

I’m baffled.


I too am baffled and cannot phathom their intellect. To me they are brain dead techno-junkies who have a device in their faces 24/7.
No help for them except am EMP, I'd welcome that and enjoy watching their heads explode on the streets.

How’s that saying go? We are just three hot meals away from downright anarchy? Let it come I say.

I often post in those subreddits to counter the anti-gun sentiment. You'd be surprised at how many people are simply apathetic that openly admit they changed their mind after being polite and posting well cited research.
