      Lot of US leftists and liberals hate guns, as a reaction to the right’s obsession with them.

      It is a stupid and dangerous reaction, because they give up their means of self-defense against far right militias and a fascist government.

        You’re spot on. I lean HARD left myself and still I’m actively advocating all my friends go out and purchase a firearm while they can. Not for some far fetched rebellion against tyranny, but simply to protect themselves from getting hate-crimed by the scum who will inevitably feel they’ve been given permission to do so by this regime. Furthermore if they do start deporting citizens for undesirable political behavior, I know I’d rather be six feet under than in CECOT or South Sudan.
