I consider myself a leftist and I'm pro-gun. I think the Democratic Party platform being so strict on guns is idiotic given how unstable this country has become. Police response takes too long and even when they arrive, I not sure if we can trust them. In a perfect world, we might not need guns, but as of now, in this imperfect world, I believe guns are neccessary.


People who don't live in the US are also welcome to participate, but please state that you do not live in the US. The gun issue in this context is about guns in the US.

Better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it.
