The answer is of course. I personally know plenty of people who own guns (even AKs and ARs) but mostly disagree with conservatives and Libertarians on just about everything else - including abortion, gay marriage, foreign policy, Healthcare, etc. But if you DO consider yourself a liberal and a pro-gunner, I would hope that at least you're willing to break with the Democrats and stand up for us if push comes to shove.
I totally agree. I'm pro gay marriage, I don't really care about abortion and super conservatives get on my nerves (all signs of being a liberal) but dammit, I love guns

That's what's great about this site. Who gives a damn about politics, we all, unequivocally love guns, and can agree on that.

Except Hi-Points. We can agree on that too.

Yes, most definitely. Hi-Points suck.

Hi point beats lorcin. At least hi point has a warranty and makes one gun at least worth owning (carbine). The pistols...well, suck. /nnecessarily heavy and gritty trigger, poor sights, low capacity, poor constrction, unconfortable grip, enogh poor machining and sharp edges to cut you to shreds when field stripping. And the fact many owners try to make them out to be superior to SIG/Glock/HK/FN since they paid very little. And bet their life and their amilys life on it working.

And you could probably get either a used gun or a C&R of infinitely better quality for around the same price

Really, you don't care about abortion? Wow. I have to say, I don't think I've ever met a Catholic (liberal or conservative) who didn't care about abortion. I've always thought abortion is the one thing that Catholics will just never be OK with (that is, until the Vatican issues a decree that says it's OK, but I think we can expect the Rapture before they ever do that).

What do you mean by catholic though? Most "catholics" i know are just posing, going to church as part of their image and they want people to see them at church so they can feel good. Or they just go to make their parents happy. I know so called "catholics" who support abortion. I used to go to catholic schools and hated it. Half of them try to ram their religious beliefs down your throat and think anyone who disagrees is lower than them. Half are the ones i mentioned before who just go to church, go through the motions and leave. I have a lot of (sortof) catholics in my family who try to lecture me on religion a lot. I have a few of my own beliefs but avoid churches.
