Why only a "male firearms enthusiast", what about the female firearms? Maybe your not as big of a leftist as you thought.

One's sex is not a political stance...

It's an Oxford comma joke. The way it's structured reads like "male-firearms" enthusiast, as in an enthusiast of "male firearms".

All firearms are female, they accept things inside of them and then at some point in the future they expel a smaller-but-not-identical version of that same thing. Also some of them are queens and the government wants to control them. Ammunition is male, its entire job is to get inside and shoot its shot, and many people consider it expendable and interchangeable.
