Every time I write anything supportive of gun control there is a consistent response from a certain segment of my social circles that is strongly in opposition to my position on this very fraught issue. Of course we're talking largely about the internet here, but many of the responses represent actual people I know in the real world. They're people of all ages, from various countries, who identify as anarchists, socialists, communists, or elsewhere on the left. Demographically diverse, though skewing towards white, male, on the younger side, and from the US -- which may say more about my social circles than about anything else, and it's not particularly relevant. The point is, from my vantage point at least, there is an abundance of people on the left who seem to be seriously opposed to any kind of gun control laws, for all kinds of reasons.
