    Free mental healthcare is a pretty leftist stance I think?

    Yes, pro universal healthcare and also pro 2A, liberals not so much.

      Hmmm, idk, as a liberal I’m a fan of a well regulated militia.

      Not so much a fan of my serial abuser father and his gun collection. His father killed himself a few years ago, that greatly increases his chances of suicide, and his type is likely to go out “in a blaze of glory”.

      I’m all for universal health care, but his court required therapy was “just government indoctrination”, you can’t help everyone, but you can regulate their ability to hurt others.

      But I guess that makes me anti 2a, either with you or against you right?
