I'll check it out.
I'm somewhere to the left of Obama on gun control. That is to say I WANT NO CONTROL AT ALL. That's the true liberal position. This stuff about Liberals wanting gun control is a product of ignorance on the left. Many liberals today live in populated areas with no access to guns. Not surprisingly they only hear about guns when they are used to kill people. This has led to a confused blending of guns and violence people sometimes do with guns.
As a liberal I believe the government has very limited powers to restrict my rights. They can only do so when there is a provable risk to the people if action is not taken. And when the action taken is proven to address the problem. These standards are not met by some silly ban on mean looking guns. It's just politicians making rules for us that they have no intention of following themselves. Any real liberal would resist a government that wants robots to roam the sky killing at will, while telling me I cant have an AR15.

And it's by an avowed liberal. Warning, it's pretty long.
