    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

      I’m an American leftist who isn’t overly fond of guns, but the way I see it, our choices are:

      • The fascists are the only ones with guns
      • The fascists aren’t the only ones with guns

      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.
