I for one am SHOCKED by this story. SHOCKED i say!

>>35177588
Isn't it funny how this mentality has historically always existed, even before we were a country it was always a bunch of high and mighty European faggots belittling us "stupid colonials"
>>35177531
I have a family like that. I come from an upper class, well educated, and fairly liberal family.
They think I am a black sheep because I own a few firearms, enlisted in the military, and pursued a career in law enforcement.
>>35177531
>>35177658
Yeah, except when that happened your family still lived in Mexico or Italy or some other shit skin country

I'd like to think I've rectified the damage I created, as since I went through the edgy left wing teenager stage, I've convinced lots of family members to support gun ownership, and buy their first guns
>>35177531
>I've made a complete 180 since then
yeah, sure thing leftie.
>>35177749
Well that's all very well and good then, if only you did so sooner.

Am I worth saving /k/?
I was a 19 y/o kid in college and voted for obama in 2008.
>>35178265
Obama wasn't that bad. Was his presidency stressful as a gun lover? Yeah it was but honestly we dodged another Clinton bullet this election cycle.
>>35178265
Fuck you. I mean it more than anyone else who says it.
FUCK YOU.
>>35177531
Beat this.
I wrote an essay in 8th grade on why we need more gun control. Which is probably the absolute worst piece of writing i have ever done.
I referred to the AR15 as an assault rifle, sourced from the Huffington Post, and Mother Jones. I discussed why the AR15 is unnecessary, gave rpm figures which were wildly inaccurate, said that it had a hair trigger which could "go off at anytime", I even said hollow points were exploding. I also argued that only Hunting Rifles should be allowed.
Almost 6 Years later im right wing, and a full blown /k/ommando who wants even less gun control, and likes slavshit and milsurp.
>Im so so sorry /k/...i changed i really did please dont cast me out i was fucked up
>>35178337
OP here
I don't know what it is about that part of your life that makes you a libtard. When I think back on it I thought that white people were bad, that all republicans were dumb rednecks, socialism was good, and I hardcore shilled for gay marriage, and transgender shit. What the fuck happens when you're young to make you so naive
probably growing up with libshit parents, in an education system that preaches "love thy neighbor" and all that jazz.
your turning to the right is likely a mixture of a few things, like rebellion against your parents, the availability of information about the whole of the world which was not available to your parents at the time of the formation of their political opinions, along with the hype of the election cycle possibly leaning you further towards the right.
at least that's what happened to me, i made a full fuckin 180 from demsoc to nazi libertarian

Anon, you're not the only one who considers /k/ to be one of their best friends.
Y'all practically made me who I am.
Anybody notice how many Reddit kids flip flopped and became right wing cuckolds after /pol/ and Donald tarp cucked them last year?
>>35177819
>>35179193
I too consider you guys my closest friends.
>>35177531
I have no /k/onfessions. I have loved guns ever since I was 5 years old and all of the other liberal faggots in my class thought I was weird for obsessing over them.
>>35177819
Me too anon, I used to have a lot of friends. Stopped getting invited to shit, idc to be honest. Keep your circle small, I'd rather go shooting or hiking than sit around get drunk all day. Fuck I get drunk browsing /k/ by myself playing vidya all the time when on days off
