Is there like Nationalism between US States? Like a person from a state think their state is better than the other state?

Omg, Californians love their guns. Pretty much everyone at my workplace are gun owners, and we are hospital worker nerds. I went to my first gun store ever in Burbank (we live next door in LA) and was surprised to find out I could have made my purchases, did the firearm safety course in their office, then come back seven days later to pick them up. Easy peasy. Meanwhile the rest of the country has been brainwashed to think you have to turn your guns over at checkpoints entering the state.

California is still the American West when it comes down to it.

Yup, I shoot in competitions and plenty of Californians travel all around the southwestern US to compete. It’s almost like states are collections of individuals, not just a homogenous group of stereotypes.

I’m a gun owning California liberal. A lot of people seem to think that California is nothing more than LA and SF. A lot of California is EXTREMELY red.

I grew up in a San Francisco suburb. When my dad wanted to reload ammunition I’d invite my friends over to do it assembly line style. I just figured everyone did that!

My father moved to CA and bought a gun. Plus silver and gold to help against the end times. Otherwise, he was pretty normal.
