Actually, I would dispute that to a degree on the basis that it's more a
liberal-conservative dispute rather than a left-right dispute. many
liberals support some form of gun control along with other liberal/left
issues. on the other side, many gun advocates affiliate with the
republican party on that sole issue and become polarized - part of the
problem of only having two parties. my guess is a number of marxists
would say it's better that gun ownership not be monopolized by the state
and therefore would not have the same stance as many liberals.

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.
