MODERATORS
I'm far left, but I believe that any citizen should be allowed to own any gun.
That's the far-left stance, generally.
For what it's worth, the far left (internationally) is traditionally pro-gun. I wouldn't know what positions are about any citizen and any gun, but I wouldn't be surprised either to hear a socialist advocate for it.
Obligatory:
I dont know who told you leftists don't like guns, we like guns plenty. It's liberals who don't like guns. Us leftists know sometimes you got to throw a bomb into the carriage of a tzar. We leftists knowwhen you go on strike you should bring a gun with you, cuz the Liberals going to try to use the National Guard to murder you.
Eastern front of ww2 made so much more sense to me when I realised the left could also have guns.
Why any? Why not pistols or rifles with small magazines?
