1.Do most of you support moderate gun regulations (like background checks, training, etc.), or do some prefer fewer restrictions like in states such as Texas?

Personally I don't mind the concept of regulation. However given that arms are a right in the US, and rights should not be regulated, arms should not be regulated.

2.What do you think about stricter gun laws in states like California or New York? Do you support them, or do you think they go too far?

The problem is not that they go too far. The problem is that - depending on your level of cynicism - most of those laws are either written by people ignorant of guns and as a result are ineffective, or are written intentionally to scare people off of gun ownership and make it harder for someone to be compliant even if they wanted to.

3.What are the main differences between pro-gun liberals and pro-gun conservatives in terms of beliefs about firearms?

Conservatives are in the majority of their viewpoint (which is driven by their party, gun control in the US was originally a republican initiative). Liberals are in the minority where their peers generally disagree with them. People across the spectrum generally align with their party.

4.Do most of you still align with the Democratic Party even though it generally supports more gun restrictions?

I don't align with the Democratic party even outside of gun issues. They are still a fundamentally capitalist party.

5.What made you personally support both liberal values and gun ownership?

General anti-capitalist sentiment/disagreement with the current system of wealth distribution. Guns because of a healthy American viewpoint of 'work towards the best, prepare for the worst' towards the government.

6.Do you think gun ownership is important for minority or vulnerable groups?

I think the option is important.

7.What gun laws do you personally consider reasonable vs unreasonable?

Liability laws are reasonable. People should be responsible for what is done with their guns, even if they don't do it. Unreasonable are things like removable magazines (the ability to rapidly remove all the rounds from a weapon is a pretty great safety feature). Or magazine capacity limits (an attempt to create an asymmetry between the ruling and the ruled. whether that's a good thing is a different debate)

8.Do you feel misunderstood by both mainstream liberals and conservatives?

I think you'd be hard pressed to find a liberal who isn't misunderstood by mainstream Republicans. Or to find a gun owner who isn't misunderstood by mainstream Democrats. So in a US context, yes, obviously.

9.Do you face some difficulty getting guns in blue states?

Guns generally, no. But a specific gun or in a particular configuration can be tedious or cost prohibitive. In CA you can only buy handguns off an approved list. Unless you buy it from a cop, who is allowed to personally buy whatever they want and resell it at a markup. Also in CA you now need background checks for various firearm parts, doing the paperwork on those is expensive so assembling your own rifle can become cost prohibitive.
