So what? Not everyone wants to live in a communist hellscape where everything is regulated to death.

Yeah! Like the NRA says, "From my cold dead hands!"

And like the NRA also says, "Unless you're attending an NRA convention, in which case please leave your firearms at home or use one of our provided lockers, because gun-free zones are a communist hellscape except here, and please pass through this metal detector too."

Yeah! We want V8s and powder, we want diesel fumes and school shootings in our land of the freee just as God intended it to be.

Most actual communists support civilian gun ownership, Karl Marx was himself a big fan of a well armed working class.

It is authoritarians that want gun control the most because they want a monopoly on force through the military and police.
