Democrats are actually pro-gun. They want the state to have all the guns. Big guns, armor, undeniable force superiority.
You might ask why? Why would a party that opposes “gun violence” encourage the arming or over-arming of the state and its bureaucracies? The answer lies plain before your eyes. They want to micro-manage your life from on high (at your expense) and they are aware, at least on some level, that human nature abhors this. But they are betting that by the time you have surmised the truth of their intent, that of big government statists across the political spectrum, it will be too late for you to do a damn thing about it. To which, I give you Edmund Burke…
To them, the will, the wish, the want, the liberty, the toil, the blood of individuals is nothing. Individuality is left out of their scheme of government. The state is all in all. Everything is referred to the production of force; afterwards, everything is trusted to the use of it. It is military in its principle, in its maxims, in its spirit, and in all its movements. The state has dominion and conquest for its sole objects; dominion over minds by proselytism, over body by arms.
