I am not sure why xCTL is so rigid on guns. I do not carry, but I have a warm feeling that if there was ever a dictatorial government in US or a russian/chinese invasion, H’V, there will be millions of people with guns to protect us from the worst. Given how much left-wing people are concerned about dictatorial/populist direction of the government (when republicans are in power), I think they should revisit their opposition to guns.
