Yeah, in heavily left-wing spaces guns give people the wigglies. Even if it's not rights, the general fact we live in a world with them is something people try to memory hole.
You and I define "heavily left-wing" quite differently then. The far-left has always supported gun rights and armed struggle. It's the political centre and parts of the right that are blanket anti-gun.
We probably do. Far-left spaces are their own thing, and are almost always labeled as such since it's a tiny, insular group.
