Serious question regarding the Obama remarks regarding guns and
religion. I think it is hard to dispute that there is a general
right/left dispute over gun ownership, but why? Is there something
in Marxism that speaks to gun ownership? Is there a relevance of
gun ownership to economic class? I really have a hard time
conceptualizing why there is such a strong correlation between
opposition to gun ownership and other left-wing views.
David Shemano
Liberals are in favor of gun-control but Marxists tend to oppose
them. It has to do with the idea of workers being able to defend
themselves in a revolutionary situation against fascists but I am
afraid such arguments have a rather abstract quality today.
