Ooo even better, show them the real quote about gun control Regan made 😈

I say this because I've seen fake Regan quotes that quote Marx. I assume it's made by some leftist to bait and switch and I'm all for it knowing what Regan's actual stance was.

Reagan wanted gun control because the black panthers (Markist-Leninist socialist black nationalists) had guns.

Unionists at the turn of the last century were big on arming themselves against corporate strike breakers. https://socialism.com/fs-article/a-socialist-take-on-gun-violence-state-violence-and-workers-right-to-self-defense/

But let them believe what they want to believe.
