Leftists want gun control for the same reason they want most things: Because they know they can't be trusted. With guns, with big decisions, with consequences, with anything that matters. If you listen, they'll tell you this over and over again.

From the perspective of their personal narrative, it stands to reason that if they can't be trusted, then you can't be trusted, either.

I have gotten multiple gun control advocates to admit to my face that they personally know if they had access to a weapon, they would use it to murder someone while they were having a fit. It is from that place that their desire for gun control spawns.

  • The right wants the child to grow up and learn to master its emotions
  • The left wants to build a better crib so adulthood and responsibility can be avoided entirely

I say all this just to point out: If you think this guy being a leftist/islamist/TDS sufferer/whatever changes the narrative for gun grabbers one bit, you don't get it.

This is extremely accurate but I doubt most leftists are really that self-aware. They really hate what they're told to hate and themselves most of all.
