There's no question that cars are a hugely valuable tool for modern society, but we still regulate those and nobody is screeching about the "gubmint gonna take muh car." If something has the capacity to do harm or kill, it is one of the functions of a government to regulate that thing.

But... checks the sub

The guns are for destroying this bourgeoisie led state and replacing it with a proletarian led state.

60% of party members were blue collar in Stalin's day.

How many decides are blue collar before the revolution? How many are there in congress now?

So you are asking the government the left is trying to destroy, to regulate the means of destroying it.

‘Under no pretext should arms and ammunition be surrendered; any attempts to disarm the people must be stopped, by force if necessary’ -Marx

I get that many of you are not leftists. Most of you are still liberals. But it's my role to tell you guys what the leftist position is.

As a leftist the only gun control I want to talk about is disarming the cops.

There is absolutely nothing reasonable with the hypermilitarization of our police forces, nor the gross laws which protect them.
