I know Miguel already posted this but I have my own take.
The Left total understands that when the civilian population is heavily armed, occupying and oppressing them is difficult.
They want Ukraine to make that difficult for Russia.
They don’t want you and I to make that difficult for their Woke military, UN Peacekeepers, or conscripted Antifa thugs.
They aren’t against civilian gun ownership.
They are against the people they hate owning guns.
Well FUK them…. 39.5 MILLION NICS checks in the last two years…. In. The. Last. Two. Years…. Note to dumb liberals- bring friends..
Yup. In that they are no different from the 1933 German government.
“Germans who wish to use firearms should join the SS or the SA. Ordinary citizens don’t need guns, as their having guns doesn’t serve the State.” — Heinrich Himmler
And they would be fine with the full deployment of the United States military to kill every single solitary citizen that owns a gun to do it. Not just that but all military resources including the full deployment of the nuclear arsenal followed by the mandated literal complete and total extermination of all human life in the United States up to the entire United States population that oppose them. Literally killing every single solitary human being in the United States except democrat party members. They RIGHT NOW view the United States government deploying all 6,000 nukes literally exterminating all life outside of Washington DC as an acceptance action to bring about gun free utopia. But when your ultimate goal IS The literal complete and total extermination of all human life in the United States that opposes or resist you and that includes killing literally all human life in the United States except yourselves it makes more sense. And the messed up thing is 100% of all United States military leadership would fully support the deployment of all 6000 nuclear warheads to exterminate all life in the United States except Washington DC.
Bit of a repeat of my comment on Miguel’s post.

When the government gives you guns to serve the collective, the all important State, that is good. If you want to own a method of applying force for your own personal use/protections that is bad. State = Good. Individual = Bad.

It is, and always will be about the collective with the leftists. That is why they are pushing the COVID mandates so hard. Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE must do as the State says.
…everyone, EXCEPT the anointed.
@Shawn: That seems like an overly dramatic read on the situation.
I don’t believe that 100% of _any_ group is on board with _any_ idea.
