    Non american leftists tend to have a more reserved take on guns.

    It’s hard to advocate for armed resistance against tyranny XIXth century style after 150 years of military industrial complex development have made the state’s power so asymmetrically strong. Guns nowadays kill kids in schools, but won’t do much against tanks, jets, drones, etc.

    Paradoxically, it’s liberals that like guns in my country (hunting has become a bourgeois activity).
