The only reason the Left truly wants to ban guns, is because an armed populace is a direct check on socialist tyranny.

While your everyday libtard drone doesn't think along those lines (they don't think at all, they just act as a repeater for talking points they get from firmware downloads), their elites very much do, which is why you end up with shit like Waco and Ruby Ridge where libtard feds treat really petty shit as some sore of existential threat to the regime, and then when their stormtroopers perform poorly and get their shit pushed in, it just makes them even more certain that the only way to subjugate a populace is to totally disarm it.
