In regard to gun control, the group favors "root cause mitigation for violence prevention, stronger mental health care, addressing poverty, homelessness and unemployment rather than focusing on prohibiting or restricting one tool." They also generally oppose "assault weapon" bans, but individual members have a wide range of opinions. In 2014, the group had about 1,200 members. From 2016 to 2017, after the Orlando nightclub shooting and the 2016 United States presidential election, membership swelled 65% year over year and the group's Facebook and social media presence grew significantly as well. As of August 2019, the Liberal Gun Club claims to have over 11,500 supporters and more than 2,500 contributing members.
