      No, these points strongly line up with liberalism, and that final point actually diverges from US leftist rhetoric ATM.

      Anarchists are pretty often saying ‘learn to use a firearm for your own safety’ right now. As in ‘arm the LGBT’ line of convo.

      Marxists are often saying ‘learn to use a firearm, we need them for the revolution’.

      Hell, even US people who are strongly aligned with maintaining democracy are now saying ‘get a gun so we can throw this shithead out of office’. I don’t doubt this rhetoric is similar in other countries dealing with soon-to-be dictators.

      In the US at least, Gun control is currently much more aligned with liberalism than leftism. It’s gotten that bad.

        Meanwhile Canadian liberals are banning semi-automatic guns left a right because they look scary and think they belong in a military.

        Of course my hot-pink GSG chambered in .22Lr with a 5 round magazine capacity certainly belongs on a battlefield.
