He's been moving rather leftward. He is anti-gun, which does bother me. But I was once a gun-lovin' libertarian-Republican. I learned a lot about the lies behind the entire right wing … but nobody's convinced me yet that the people owning firearms is a bad thing. If anything, if more left-wing folks owned them, the fascist party would be a little less eager to threaten violence. After all, an armed society is indeed a polite one.

Yeah I recognize that mass shootings are a problem and that we could be doing a whole hell of a lot more to prevent those from happening. Disarming the population to make a "Republican" fascist coup to be more likely to be successful is not how we should be addressing the problem, though. Maybe I'm crazy there? Oregon is still working to ban private gun owernship in the midst of Trump's literal fascist coup. What The Actual Fuck, Oregon?
