(17,502 posts)Do you define "harassment" as not blindly accepting the validity of the views or logic behind them?
You views are not actually liberal. They may or may not be progressive, but I can certainly make an argument that they are regressive. When the KKK lobbied MI state leg for their gun purchase permit (a form of UBC) it certainly was not for humanitarian or liberal reasons, nor UK and much of Europe in the 1920s during the red scare. Come to think of it, until 50 years ago, the south generally had stricter laws than the rest of the US other than NY and Michigan (one being an organized crime stronghold and the other being the largest Klan strong hold in the north). Canada's laws started because of anti immigrant fears.
Your views are shared with much of the political and economic elite, which I would not define as left wing. Your view of guns are closer to Nixon's than Jerry Brown's.
