Many people on the left do have guns, but they also have other things to go along with guns: self-control and a sense of decency.
I'd add on that most on the left have also studied enough to know that people love martyrs and that very few deaths of public figures would substantially change our society.
I'd describe myself as a raging leftist, and I can count on one hand the people whose assassination I think would result in beneficial change for our society even with any blowback of support and counter assassinations. MTG has never been close to that level.
Dismantling systems of oppression and changing the way people think is far more effective.
The issue with this thinking is that you assume that once those in power will easily let it go. We are in a time right now where kids are dumber than ever and social media controls their lives. Its how Andrew taint got so big. Gotta get rid of the fascist first before you can change the education system to fix what they have broken, otherwise they'll do it all over again.
They know the price of guns.
