This is not an exclusive thing to Left or Right....I have noticed that anyone who doesn't drink from the fountain of Trump or slide way Right is automatically a Commie or Socialist/Leftist here at The Hide but that's just part of the lay of the land.
I'm amused when people here discover that Leftists and Socialists are not automatically anti gun/anti 2A and it just enrages them. Sad truth, and maybe it's because of my geographic location or my age, I know more Democrats and Socialists that own guns and train regularly than I do Right Thinking/Republicans.
I was raised by a decorated combat veteran who was a Union Stewart most of his life and a die hard Democrat that raised 7 kids (abortion is murder to he and my mother) and taught me to shoot and instilled a life long love of firearms and taught me the meaning and significance of the 2A. My Wife is a Life long Democrat, daughter of an Iowa farmer whose father (my FIL) was a life long Democrat and shared my love of guns and taught me to hand load.
It's a tough world when everything is binary - like Dems or Republicans - Left vs Right.
Not one fucking thing in Life is that simple unless yer not very bright.
VooDoo
I believe your post is genuine, and this isn't meant as an attack. But just WHO IS the Leftist, Socialist, or just plain old Democrat Pro 2A candidate that is going to defend that Constitutional right, and that these Democrat and Socialist gun-loving folks you speak of can vote for with confidence that they won't return the favor by passing more gun control laws? DRACONIAN gun control laws, in fact, if the sudden lurch seen in VA and now AZ is any barometer?
And, this is not directed towards you at all, but rather the type of posters the OP is describing: That is the question they will NEVER answer, no matter how many times you ask them, because they can't: "If Trump is the Devil you claim he is, who did YOU vote for?" Or, "Who are you going to vote for?'
