Why is the American conservative movement pro-gun?
Hi, kind of a beginner here. Why is the conservative movement in the US so pro-gun?
lirc Marx said the workers should be armed so as to have means of opposing the ruling class, and Albania under Hoxha saw most of the civilian population armed. I read an excerpt of an anecdote that recounted how Khrushchev was shocked that ordinary people were armed, to which Hoxha said '... The people have every right to turn their guns against us if we do not do our job well.'
If the arming of workers is a measure of the workers' political power, why is it so propagated within the right? Please excuse my lack of knowledge and correct me if I am wrong, thank you 🥲 (I also posted this on r/socialism accidentally but I hope I can get some answers from both subs)
