Think the FBI hangs out with y’all, post-9/11-mosque style? Which was very nice and not harassy of them

Wonder if members are safer given you’ll all be more knowledgeable than average or whether fascists would make a point to target the group as the rights situation further declines.

Hopeful the midterms magically change things somehow and we don’t devolve into this conversation being incredibly relevant/important and it can stay a no-knowledge theoretical comment of mine

It's most peoples understanding that being a member of any organization that has "socialist" in the name can make you a target for fascist. But I think it's also most peoples perspective that EVERYONE is a target for fascist eventually. There is no defense in just sitting by and hoping that you're the last to be targeted.

As a straight white male it's definitely a privileged position to not have to be as concerned yet.

The SRA itself is not at all political though and members are discouraged from doing any organizing that could be connected directly to the organization. It's basically meant to be a safe space for people to learn responsible gun ownership. Something that is usually dominated by the "maga hats".
