Importantly, the real comparison with gun liberty should be in the declining violent crime rate, often due to criminals giving up on violent crimes due to the substantially increased risk; and the actual decline of the violent criminals themselves, due to bullet holes.
There is tremendous irony in leftists strongly advocating both abortion and euthanasia, yet just as strongly opposing the death penalty, or even substantial prison time, for heinous and aggravated violent criminals.
Gun liberty, however, goes around the perpetual efforts of leftists to preserve the lives and freedom of violent criminals, since no matter how many legal technicalities, soft federal judges and politicians, and the endless finagling of lawyers, there is no appeal when a violent criminal is struck down by a gun wielding citizen.
Yet, from the perspective of honest citizens, gun liberty represents real and timely justice.
It might not be ironic.
Democrats have an unspoken policy of defending and assisting people who are evil - and a strong inclination backed by policy to kill or harm people who are innocent. It's across the board.
Actions speak louder than words...
