Many leftists abhor guns. I completely understand that feeling. I don't share that feeling, but I can empathize with it. It feels wrong for some people to hold a tool that is so quickly capable of ending life.... And just like decades of the Left reaching across the aisle to meet the Right, they never give ground , we move farther right instead. They never, ever reach back. Now, minority rule.
And they are ARMED, heavily, and now you/WE are in danger.
I would reconsider those emotions on guns.
@rokkinbobokkin in Star Wars, the creator of the Death Star said he thought the station would be used to mine dead planets, a tool for constructive use.
In real life, the creator of the rocket meant for them to be used to travel to other worlds, not for firing at one another. I believe he is famously quoted, "The rocket worked perfectly, only it landed on the wrong planet," most weapons that shouldn't be in the hands of regular people were created as tools for a purpose.
