I wrote this four years ago about the left’s relationship to violence and guns. It’s more relevant than ever.

Leftists who think getting armed is a political strategy need to get over their love affair with violence. Now, in these increasingly dangerous times, there may be specific instances where guns are a reluctant necessity. But the left should be in the forefront the movement to abolish gun ownership as much as possible. That’s because incidents like the Las Vegas massacre only create widespread public support for militarized police.
