    Please stop conflating Democrats with “the left.”

    Democrats are centrists or even center-right. Actual leftists tend to be just as gun-happy as conservatives. Both for protection from those conservatives, and because Marx was pretty explicit about the proletariat needing to revolt.

      I’m well aware of that. That’s why I said global left and not democrats. Global leftists meaning the generally left average for the globe. In my opinion most of the global left is out of touch with the US’s gun problem. Where do you see me saying Democrats?
