I said "professed" dislike. Yes, I know Reagan is responsible for one of the largest expansions of gun control ever seen in the US...
And yes, I know Marx himself was tremendously in favor of armed workers.
Doesn't change political narrative being pushed by both major political parties in the US, where in the left supposedly wants guns banned, and the right wants everyone armed.
Yes, I know things aren't that cut and dry, but the media narrative pushed by both parties definitely seems to say that it is.
