Yep, just like the NRA.
When there is inequity in the availability of firearms and the wealthy can use those tools, as well as the state, to oppress marginalized communities, taking those tools away from them just makes them helpless. This, of course, isn't the argument the NRA makes, though. For this you'd have to look towards the Socialist Rifle Association, the Liberal Gun Club, the Latino Rifle Association, the Huey P. Newton Gun Club, the National African American Gun Association, Pink Pistols, the John Brown Gun Club, or Armed Equality. All groups for people actually left-of-center who understand how important this stuff is. We may not be single issue voters like the NRA wants gun owners to be, but we know how important it is for an equitable society to be armed equitably.
