    First, I didn’t downvote you. To your question, I would argue that the US Constitution was written by the far left and it includes gun rights.

    I also think it is important to distinguish between gun regulations originating from those in power and those originating from popular support (NZ for example).

      Fair enough. The US constitution was written by people who were probably far left for their time, now that you make me think about it. I guess I just took gun rights to mean the US version of gun rights which are a bit extreme compared to the rest of the world. Sorry about getting my jimmies all rustled up there.
