On r/firearms, r/guns or any gun related forum website I’ve been on in my history of the internet whenever I say the left isn’t my ally on guns some leftist bum out of nowhere always comes in and says
“Well actually leftists are very pro gun, we are different from liberals”
And then they quote that stupid like from that loser Karl Marx about workers being armed.
Be clear, they’re “pro gun” in the sense that they want to use guns during the “revolution” to kill/Incarcerate business and property owners. Once those people are killed and or put into gulags,They’re gonna heavily regulate/seize the weapons.

This mises article actually breaks down these regimes once they gain power. Soviet Union is a classic example
“ To maintain its iron grip, the Soviet Union had to turn to the most proven form of suppression — gun confiscation. On December 10, 1918, the Council of People’s Commissar mandated that Soviet citizens turn in their firearms. Failure to do so, led to criminal prosecution.
Soviet gun control laws remained tight in the following decades, although the government did go out of its way to give Communist Party affiliates privileged access to firearms.”
So basically after the revolution, either you work for the state, or give me your shit. So much for “arming the workers”.
Look at how they get angry anytime entrepreneurs use guns to defend their private property. The rooftop Koreans for example has always been a trigger for so called “pro gun leftists”. Why becayse they were evil capitalists defending their private property. These are the people who would get their guns confiscated and or killed during the “revolution”
