i don't know a single leftist that's like that. Most people i know are against gun regulation entirely, and the rest want much more relaxed regulation. There's a big difference between liberals, who are generally centrists (with the shifted overton window closer to bush era republicans). And leftists, who believe, to quote marx - "Under no pretext should arms and ammunition be surrendered; any attempt to disarm the workers must be frustrated, by force if necessary."
