Why Liberals Support Gun Rights

| I'm pansexual and non-binary and if I can be here supporting the Second Amendment and I don't even support Trump then I'm sure there's plenty of other people here that are a Democrat that support the same thing. | |
| As a liberal, why is the Second Amendment so important to you? | |
| It was established so we could have a regulated armed militia in case the government gets out control like we're seeing here. | |
| If you could say anything to the governor right now after attending this rally, seeing how well it went, what would you say? | |
| I would say that there were a lot of lies spread, you know, going on Twitter, seeing that a bunch of neo- and crazy Trump supporters are coming out here. | |
| And I was born in Richmond, raised here my whole life. | |
| I haven't seen any of that today. | |
| I'm extremely liberal. | |
| You know, kind of minority in a sense, my family, some of them were Jewish and fled the holiday. | |
| They're coming to America. | |
| I'm pansexual and non-binary. | |
| And if I can be here supporting the Second Amendment and I don't even support Trump, then I'm sure there's plenty of other people here that are a Democrat that support the same thing. | |
| Oh, for sure. | |
| Probably, yeah. | |
| So as a Democrat, you have a Democratic governor. | |
| What do you have to say to him since, you know, you're on his side? | |
| Not on his side, but, you know, you're in that party. | |
| What do you have to say to him? | |
| I would say that the party's been hijacked and he's along with it. | |
| You know, this isn't what it should be about. | |
| It's been corrupted, you know. | |
| We got news not too long ago they did Blackface and historically he should be against that, you know? | |
| And now he's trying to take away people's right to have guns. | |
| There are plenty of minorities that need it to defend themselves. | |
| If my relatives in the past had it and everybody in the community had it, they wouldn't have the fully Germany. | |
| You know, this is for our protection and they want to limit that. | |
| I have a handgun that decided last minute not to bring with me, but 15 rounds in that ain't enough, you know. | |
| That's nothing. | |
| Now they want to limit and have one handgun per month for buying. | |
| They're trying to slowly erode our rights and he's a part of that and wants to do that. | |
| So as a liberal who supports gun rights, what do you think when all of the Democratic candidates are on stage just going off about more background checks, more checks for this thing? | |
| We have more than 20,000 gun laws on the book in the United States. | |
| How's it feel watching the people that are supposed to represent you? | |
| It just can be completely ridiculous when it comes to the Second Amendment. | |
| I think they're out of touch. | |
| You know, I'm a Bernie supporter. | |
| I'm a Yane supporter. | |
| And there's plenty of people that are in power and in government that are against it. | |
| But if you turn around, they have a bunch of police here. | |
| They have a fence set up that they're supposed to be against. | |
| And that's supposed to protect them. | |
| But when it comes to us, they don't want us to protect ourselves. | |
| It kind of bothers me how some of them can be anti-law enforcement and want to put controls on law enforcement. | |
| But then they turn around and say that they're supposed to protect us. | |
| You gotta, you know, choose a side here. | |
| Yes. | |
| Like, it doesn't make any sense. | |
| It's backwards to me. | |
| I think they're out of touch. | |
| I don't think any of them have to worry about that because they have Secret Service protecting them. | |
| You know, they have the police protecting them. | |
| But everyday citizens walking around the street need to protect themselves and can't rely on the cops sometimes. | |
| As a liberal, why is the Second Amendment so important to you? | |
| It was established so we could have a regulated armed militia in case the government gets out of control like we're seeing here. | |
| We have the Patriot Act that was enacted after the events of 9-11. | |
| And I believe that it was used for good at first, but it's slowly been used as a tyrannical tool. | |
| have freedom of press and freedom of speech being slowly eroded now and they want to take away our guns so we can't uphold that as well. | |
| When are you going to switch sides? | |
| When am I going to switch sides? | |
| When are you going to take the red pill? | |
| I don't think I will. | |
| You know I'm anti-neoliberal and anti-establishment so I don't like Hillary and Obama and you know prior Democrat elected officials that we had. | |
| I think we need some fresh blood that are in touch. | |
| Definitely more libertarian stuff. | |
| Okay, all right. | |
| More libertarian. | |
| More libertarian. | |
| But you support Bernie Sanders. | |
| Yes, I know. | |
| Kind of mind-bottom one. | |
| He loves taxation. | |
| He's a socialist. | |
| Well, some of his policies, some, such as guns, I'm against, you know, there's no candidate I think that one person can say they love everything about. | |
| Absolutely. | |
| Okay, I'm letting you off the hook today because we're here to talk about guns, but you're great. | |
