    I am 100% in agreement, but where in US politics is the left actually following Marx’s view on gun ownership? What percentage of the US Left actually agrees and owns guns? I wish it was a significant percentage, but since Leftist gun culture is generally hidden on top of being a minority the optics indicate a very small percentage.

    Blue states are the ones with gun bans, and the Democrat party is the big tent attempting to contain the “far Left”. Just because actual far Leftists don’t agree with it, doesn’t mean either poster in the meme aren’t talking about Republican and Democrat parties.

    Hell, look at the next comment on my post to find someone saying disarming the populace is great. I would hazard a guess they would consider themselves to be Left.

        What about though? Is there a large and thriving Radical Left gun culture that is regularly out in public and on places like YouTube, being vocal, and being proactive like sueing States and Cities for gun bans that I don’t know about? If there is an actual Leftist version of the NRA that I can also support please let me know so I can do so.

        I will still be a Capitalism with guardrails and regulations over Communism type of guy, but want to be able to vote for Universal Healthcare, cessation of Corporate power overreach, fair taxation of millionaires and billionaires, etc without also voting against my 2A rights.
