Broadly speaking, you probably agree with the large majority of the views commonly attributed to whichever group you identify with - what are the exceptions? Something that if you mention without a caveat immediately makes people jump to conclusions or even attack you?

I think you'll find that most people by a wide margin agree that prohibition of anything generally doesn't work, and what they are looking for is regulations and enforcement.

    There are a lot of vocal anti gun nuts out there though.

    Where I live, mentioning you own, or would like to own a gun, gets you labeled as a fascist Nazi/proto murderer. That's regardless of all your other beliefs or political positions.

    I know plenty of people on the Left who want to ban guns, European-style. They think anyone who owns one is partially psychopathic and have a fetish about killing things. You're right, they're probably in the minority, but I question by just how much. I don't think they're as fringe as some people would like to believe.

    Personal firearms ownership is legal in Europe.

    My understanding was that it’s only legal under highly restricted conditions. If you’re just Joe Schmoe, you’re not going to be able to get a firearm just because you have no criminal history and no evidence of mental illness.
