| Topic | Gun rights should be a left wing position. |
| Gaawa_chan 08/15/19 11:21:34 PM #15: | darkknight109 posted... Left wing also is generally in favour of bigger government and more regulation, while right wing is in favour of smaller government and less regulation Let's go down the line, shall we? Right-wing "small government" policies: Criminalizing abortion, turning miscarriages (1/5 of all pregnancies) into suspected murder Death Penalty Ineffectual, absurdly expensive immigration restrictions Bloating the already bloated military budget Anti drug decriminalization, inflating our prison population and clogging up our justice system Gerrymandering Voting restrictions Dictating whether or not you can marry the consenting adult of your choice Dictating what bathroom you can use Union restrictions or outright eradication Etc... Are you for big or small government when it comes to marijuana? Abortion? Do you think that the State allow lobbying (small government, terrible idea)? Why is it big government when we're talking about health care but not the military or immigration? It's not a matter of "big" vs "small." It's just a matter of what you personally want. This is a dishonest framing of politics and I'm sick to death of it. It's never been true. Now, if by left-wing you mean "liberal," that's another matter entirely, but considering the statement I just responded to, I wouldn't be surprised if you didn't even know the difference and will have to google liberalism... --- Hi ...
