I don't think leftist like guns, but otherwise makes sense.
People forget that not everyone on Lemmy are from the States, because where I am from leftists are usually really anti-gun.
In the states it also varies a lot. You have groups like the the socialist rifle association, but lots of american leftists are also anti-gun, there's a range of views on the subject.
I would guess its the majority of american leftists that are anti-gun, but I could certainly be mistaken
Outside of the US there are also differing opinions. I support guns for self defense. I don't like guns, but who am I to tell marginalized people to stay unarmed as the state tramples over them.
