I'm the same. I'm a leftie who enjoys guns (the machines themselves and the physical discipline to use them safely and effectively), but I despise what you might call "gun culture" especially here in the USA.
I wish I could find a good group of like minded who could just focus on the sport without descending into endless political posturing.
/r/guns is great for that reason exactly. You get some annoying folks in the comments, but never anything about politics and the whole "libtard bashing" thing isn't done there.
Im with ya. Live in one of the most liberal cities in the states, definitely lean liberal, but love guns too.
And I wish guns weren't so expensive. I'm at the point where I have insurance on my gun collection alone.
