How can they oppose something they don't even understand firsthand?
So much for tolerance and open-mindedness.

speakeasy: If i had meant "classic" liberals I would have said "libertarians". I am speaking in the modern parlance in which "liberal" is the same as "leftist"

Yeah, I know what you mean. It's like how most conservatives haven't even performed one abortion and yet they are against a woman's right to choose. And how about all those vegetarians who haven't even slaughtered a single hog or steer?

Liberal socialist on the left have a very elitist attitude. They are sure that they are smarter than the rest of us and if we'd just let them have their way they'd fix all the worlds problems. To their mind the only reason socialism hasn't worked before is because THEY haven't got to try it yet.
They are hypocrites of the highest order and they feel like the rest of us should get rid of those pesky guns that keep getting in the way of their quest to control our lives.
Having personal knowledge of firearms doesn't enter into it for them.

While I agree with you on their tolerance level. I have to say that they oppose the 2nd amendment for a whole different reason. They are all about control, so by taking away guns, which is what they are trying to do, they gain more control over people because if regular people aren't allowed to have guns, then the only people that will have guns are the over powering government run by Hilary Clinton, so she can do anything she wants, we wont be able to protect ourselves.

I believe you mean Leftists are against the 2nd Amendment. Actual Liberals believe in personal Liberty, including the right to keep and bear Arms (combat weapons).
Leftists are absolutely NOT tolerant and open minded. They have 'zero tolerance' of anyone who does not fit into their ideological agenda.
(I understand your comment about classic liberals.)

I suppose you have proof of that?
How about..
Most conservative males have never slept with another man, yet they oppose same-sex relationships.
How can they oppose something they don't even understand firsthand?

Well I oppose homosexuality, abortion, illegal drug use, and a number of other things that I have never experienced firsthand (or secondhand for that matter). But I never claimed to be tolerant and open minded either....
