    Ah, I didn’t realize that counted as importing, turns out only people who already own one in Washington can bring one in if they previously left the state with it. Guess the answer is either dont do it or don’t get caught. The best answer is to ask a lawyer though. The NRA might have someone you can talk to for free if you’re willing to put up with dealing with them for a little while. Just use a disposable email / phone so they don’t bother you after.

    The SRA varies a lot by chapter, it’s not really a national org in any meaningful way, but both the chapters I’ve done stuff with were pretty welcoming to social democrats. What would you describe yourself as? I might be able to give a better answer.

    My local chapter is a mix of communists, anarchists, and soc dems. We also do open-invite firearm trainings, and have had some liberals show up recently, but none of them have really stuck around.

    If you’re concerned about maga getting violent you’ll find like-minded people in the SRA, at least on that. If you’re open to being in an explicitly leftist space, I’d probably check them out, in case shit does hit the fan, you want to know people you can ally with.

        Okay, that’s like the worst answer to be able to tell lol. It’ll heavily depend on what the branch is like. My local one? You’d be welcome, but a couple people would try to radicalize you.
