There are a lot of posts on the bird from new or potential new CoSo users saying that we're a left-wing social network.
I think that perception may come from the fact that a lot of new members seem to be of that political leaning, and feature it in their profiles. (See linked post below for my thoughts on this.)
Just to be clear: ALL are welcome here, so long as you are not trolling or supporting the overthrow of democracy. We can't be a place for just one group.
I honestly wish I could find a few moderate conservatives here.
I'm a Liberal.. but, I often agree with some of them, for example Tom Nichols, Rick Wilson.. etc.
also, another example.. I shoot guns, I am a Precision Rifle Shooter/ Long Distance Shooter, and it would be nice to find others with the same interest.
I have met a few here, but it's just a handful.
I have been a competitive long rifle shooter since I was a teen.
Never in the military, but was pretty damn good, won a few regional meets.
I only own three weapons.
A DP-12. (shotgun)
Barrett MRAD in .338 Lapua. (long rifle)
And a Walther PPK/S. (light duty handgun)
I used to own a lot more. Years ago, I decided to get the very best I could, become expert with those. And sell the rest.

The long-range rifle I had my eye on (again, no time or money for it) is a Tikka Superlite T3x in matte stainless, 6.5 creed
Ohhh, I just looked up the Tikka Superlite T3x , and that is beautiful.
@voltronic @corlin
It is a VERY expensive hobby, and 6.5 Creed ammo is about $2.50-$3.50 a round.
That is about the same as my 22-250, but my partner is teaching me to load my own, so that makes it more cost effective.
