but if you define it only according to talking points rather than the actual ideology, then pretty much any political view can be associated with several different ideologies. which one it gets associated with is then dependent entirely on how often it gets discussed.

like most people on the far left are pro-gun. it's not a super common topic of conversation in my circles, but there definitely are leftists who talk about it more frequently. just because you don't hear them doesn't mean they don't do it.

so by your reasoning, that particular view is a far-left view in addition to being a conservative view

And there are right-wingers who think that the rich have too much money. It doesn't change which side of the spectrum that argument is most at home at.

I still say trying to claim being pro-gun to be universal rather than right-leaning is just spitefully trying to deny that they could have a point on any issue.
