Eh, it’s a Facebook group. The only people seeing it are likely ones that are looking for any excuse to feel the numinous in the mundane. They’re chasing a sense of being among the cognoscenti, of being in on a great secret. Poking holes in the “mystery” doesn’t allow that.

Gun nuts tend to not be too into the whole ufo/cryptid type of obsession, at least not that I’ve run into online or at gun stores. Definitely haven’t at the range, but I only shoot at the range with either the left wing crazies (like myself), or the area LGBTQ+ club when they want an extra hand doing tips and general safety observers.

But there is some overlap, particularly among the general conspiracy theory crowds that dabble in the ufo/cryptid stuff as well. Those folks tend to be preppers as well, which ends up matching well with gun nuts (as opposed to perfectly sane and non-obsessive firearm enthusiasts), and once those overlap, you can essentially guarantee they’re right wing, and there’s a high probability they’ll be on the white supremacy and/or christo-fascist bandwagon too.

The Venn diagram of this would look like a Rorschach blot.
