As the national spokesperson for The Liberal Gun Club, Lara Smith bridges a unique gap between the political left and firearms ownership, highlighting the growing demographic of left-leaning gun owners. She shares the challenges of addressing root causes of violence and the need for practical solutions while also touching on the impact of tribalism and the lack of accountability in politics and sharing her personal journey from being anti-gun to becoming a pro-2A gun owner.
As an attorney, Lara also covers the ethical, legal, and civil rights obstacles to exercising 2A rights, such as the federal 4473 form (completed when purchasing any firearms) and so-called "Red Flag" laws as they pertain to mental health and the LGBT community.
The Liberal Gun Club is a 501(c)4 nonprofit whose membership is open to anyone and can be followed on Facebook and on X.
