Not sure what the Liberal party, or guns, have to do with this article.

People who play team politics and pin their identity to certain keystone interests have to bring up their team preferences.

Sure, the Liberals have a misguided and hamfisted approach to gun law. Beliefs that guns are not relevant as a collective risk and opportunity, and that property rights reign over collective safety, are suppressing facts for identity politics.

In Canada we have a lot of long guns. I strongly support responsible hunting weapons. I don't get choked up about the government mishandling regulation of assault and handguns, just annoyed. You can see this divide in a lot of rod and gun clubs (maybe more so in my local "god and run" club because it's progressive rural).
