Here's a hint: it's (enlightened centrist/white moderate) liberals, not lefties, who are anti-gun.

It's absolutely not just them on the left that want to restrict guns.

That's true, but leftists know that since everybody else has one, I should too. That unicorns and rainbows version of liberalism is what gets you disappeared.

It's pretty much not the left at all, only liberals. I mean, sure, there are a few (delusional/suicidal) left pacifists like hippies and whatnot, but "gun control" people are almost universally centrist authoritarians.

I don't see the need for labels in this regard. Right now, people of all types and backgrounds are picking up firearrns. Many people who were previously opposed are now seeing the need.
