Reread your quote. Leftists do not support “control,” much less that of your prohibition to arm yourself. Those are tory plights.
They can and do support both.
How do you support tools of oppression as a leftist?
Because the tool of oppression can also be a tool of liberation. Because the power to take a life is also the power to save a life. Because with power comes responsibility, and if people cannot handle that responsibility then we as a society should not be granting them that power.
I can in fact be in favor of both the right to own firearms and the use of legal controls on firearms. If you can't understand that then I'm afraid I can't help you.
I see. So instead of reflecting that leftist want bolt cutters, master keys, and seeds, you prefer to cognitive dissonance yourself your need to oppress instead.
Safety isn't control. And in tyrannical occupation, more tools to liberate the better. The fact you confuse the two says you want to oppress folks instead.
I think you're just putting the words you want to hear into my mouth. Why don't you go pet a dog instead?
Ah, domestication. I see your absolution then.
Leave us praxing anarchists alone as well then. We don't want slavery and leashes.
The only boots I lick are worn by cute goth girls. Consensually, of course.
How old ascrod, how old.
I'd wager they're an American, where they believe their conservative-lite Democratic party is left leaning.
