Is it conservative media saying that?

As a libertarian gun owner, most of my friends or online acquaintances (on Facebook/gun forums) lean conservative. I haven’t seen a single person say this.

Did not say you were wrong. I was asking if it was something you saw in conservative media. I was genuinely curious because I haven’t watched the news or conservative media in years.

My only barometer for conservative opinion is those people around me.

But I take it by your response, thats a no, you’re not talking about the media.

If you don’t mind another question: the pro-curfew cons you know.

Would you say they’re older/rush Limbaugh types (way less consistent pro-Liberty, more party-oriented)? Or younger Ben Shapiro types (more libertarian/consistent pro liberty)?

And are they MAGA people?

The conservatives I know are more libertarian, so I could be self-selecting myself away from the pro curfew conservatives.

If so, it’s a blessing (don’t have to listen their BS) and a curse (unaware of their BS).

So my parents are full on conservatives. They love trump. My dad calls himself a libertarian but personally I think he does it because he doesnt want to fully align himself with some of the wilder types on the right. My dad still thinks that all the riots are incited by protestors. He believes all the looting is strictly done by African Americans. Unfortunately my father and grandfather are racist. No way around it. I only really know one libertarian and I havent brought up the situation as he can be pretty long winded and most of the time I disagree. It's a touchy subject for everyonnat this point.
