The thing is, the guns are largely concentrated in the hands of people that make the left feel unsafe - and recent events have caused the left to feel even less safe about the situation. Now the liberals are arming up to balance out the equation a bit, and that's driving a big part of the surge.
thats basically how i understand it, yes.
i dont feel comfortable conflating leftism with liberalism, but thats another can of semantic worms.
Yeah, sorry - I spent too many years hearing the right complain about libruls as if the term encompassed everything to their left, and I still haven't completely untangled that knot in my brain.
extremely cool reply. cheers.
