Re: [Pen-l] Obama remarks

[Chris Finn <cfinn@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Actually, I would dispute that to a degree on the basis that it's more a 
liberal-conservative dispute rather than a left-right dispute. many 
liberals support some form of gun control along with other liberal/left 
issues. on the other side, many gun advocates affiliate with the 
republican party on that sole issue and become polarized - part of the 
problem of only having two parties. my guess is a number of marxists 
would say it's better that gun ownership not be monopolized by the state 
and therefore would not have the same stance as many liberals.

> Serious question regarding the Obama remarks regarding guns and religion.  I think it is hard to dispute that there is a general right/left dispute over gun ownership, but why?  Is there something in Marxism that speaks to gun ownership?  Is there a relevance of gun ownership to economic class?  I really have a hard time conceptualizing why there is such a strong correlation between opposition to gun ownership and other left-wing views.
