    The point is to conflate the two and drown out leftist talking points with neoliberal ones.

    But, I am curious to see how the right will shift their attitudes toward guns now that “liberals” have them and are using them.

    Last time leftist Black Panthers started exercising their 2nd amendment rights, it was Ronald Reagan that passed gun regulation laws in California to specifically target their self-policing goals.

    Remember when Republicans were trying to make political party discrimination illegal, so you couldn’t criticize their fascism? Meanwhile, I anticipate this rise of leftist gun ownership to be met with authoritarian background checks specifically screening for “leftist, communist, woke, globalist, LGBTQ+” ideologies.
