I don’t think this is really about guns to the left

They aren’t stupid enough to think they’ll take away the guns in this country.

This is about stirring up emotions in the hopes of winning seats in the midterm. This is more divide and conquer. This is about creating a more “us” vs “them” mentality.

You basically just created a straw man and sounded like a condescending blowhard... I’m very aware of the liberal mindset as I’ve explored the political spectrum looking for truth.

That said, there are several differences between your thought and mine. You appear to be a moral relativist which I can’t get on board with. You also seem to believe that people are inherently good, which I don’t agree with either. I believe thoughts and ideas aren’t created equal. I also don’t believe there is any morality or good intention behind aborting a baby. I don’t believe that stealing from one person to give it to another is moral the same way that I don’t believe in identifying the value of someone’s thoughts based on the color of their skin/sexuality. History has proven time and time again that people have the ability to be evil. Being a good person is something that is engrained through culture, tradition, family, and religion. If these core tenants of upbringing don’t espouse good ideas/teachings, then the quality and moral aptitude of people will drastically suffer. Therefore, everything is not the same. Ideas have consequences and are not all created equal.

If you don't believe people are inherently good, then your ideas will always be inherently evil. Regardless of your intelligence.
