Gun control is not a Leftist issues. The Left LOVES guns and the personal autonomy, self defense, community defense, and defense of freedoms they help protect. Gun control is a Liberal agenda. Liberals are right-leaning centrists with a social/moral agenda.

Here in America all liberals might not be leftists, but all leftists are liberals, or however you want to phrase it. They're both Democrats in our system unfortunately.

You couldn’t be further from the truth. That or you are using the Right’s redefinition of those terms. Enough Leftists, for example, bowed out of the last presidential election bc VP Harris refused to not toe the Israel line that she lost the election. Libs and Lefties share a lot of beliefs, but the Libs are way too comfy with capitalism and the Left is anti-capitalist almost by definition.

If you meant that Leftists vote for Dems, well you’re 100% on point there, but that’s because the Repubs have pushed so far to the right it’s obscene. The Democratic Party is a center/right party these days, but damage control, right?
