People aren’t always rational. I’m anti-gun in general, but I’m also very pro-antifa and am fully aware that means shooting nazis when it comes to it.

I’m not against people owning weapons, I’m against the fetishisation of them and I believe they belong in secure storage or for hunting, not strapped to an idiot in Walmart, in people’s videos, or posed with proudly on Christmas cards like a damned Taliban photoshoot.

There’s a time and a place, and that’s not everywhere all the time, such that minor fistfights become shootouts at the corral.

I’m pretty left, but I’d never call a regular gun owner a nazi. Whoever said that is an idiot.
