Why do communist countries all typically enact gun control after the revolution, historically? In the Soviet Union, civilian gun ownership was illegal. In Cuba, they are very strict about giving licenses for them and you need to provide a valid reason. They are about arming the workers against the proletariat. Once that is accomplished, they typically seek to limit gun ownership. Not that thats a bad thing.

FWIW, I am a gun owning socialist, so I know all about this. Everything right of socialist and left of center is most definitely against gun rights. That is the vast majority of the "leftists" in the United States which is what I was referring to in this scenario.

As for the riots, you are correct. I mistook riots for protests in my ignorance, my bad, but we can't act like rioting isn't something in the anarchist playbook. Sometimes it is most definitely warranted.

Edit: you can downvote me that's fine but you still never answered my question. If the far left supports gun rights, why do none of them have gun rights in their constitutions? And why do they limit civilians access to them? That doesn't sound like gun rights to me, but idk. Unlimited gun rights are dumb, anyways, and that's why I would not connect it to the left who are actually sensible about it. Nobody should have unlimited rights to guns. It should be a position of privilege for those who are licensed and have valid use for them.

There are groups of anarchists that are indeed "pro riot" as a form of protest. I guess maybe you could say burning businesses and vandalizing things isnt rioting, but most other people would call it that. They are mostly young punk kids from my experience. There aren't a ton but they do exist. They don't go after neighborhoods like right wing media would portray, they target buildings owned by corporations that kind of deserve it, mostly. I'm not saying rioting is always a bad thing, myself. Sometimes it is warranted when a matter is serious enough and all other avenues aren't working.
