Basically all the leftists I know support gun ownership, there are many chapters of Socialist Rifle Associations and John Brown Gun Clubs across the country. Democrats talk about gun control but pretty much every demographic in the US loves guns still. They just aren’t sufficiently organized yet to be effective against this stuff, and most people still have a lot to lose that it’s hard to make the first serious acts of resistance.

I was in several protests that were violently suppressed by police in the US, using tear gas, flash bangs, beatings etc. After threats and fascist violence, groups of armed leftists joined in more frequently. For whatever reason I can’t recall the police attacking while they were there. Like the IDF killing children, they only want defenseless victims.

It’s as simple as this, my mom explained it to me at 8 years old: “A lot of parents give their kids money for good grades or doing chores, but that teaches them to do things for the money and not because it’s the right thing to do.”

It’s a habit, like a drug addiction, your brain is rewarded by profit and molds itself around that, altering your view of right and wrong.
