I was smack bang in the middle of the first four red squares in the bottom right hand corner.
I suppose that makes me a Blairite.

Whilst some of the questions were a little simplistic I actually feel this is not that far off.
I have voted Tory in the last three Elections and voted leave I suppose, that on here, makes me a certified rank and file RWNJ.
However I would have no problem voting for a Center left Labour Candidate who had a handle on law and order and showed a modicum of support for Small Businesses.
As that is very unlikely to happen I suppose I will have to continue to vote Tory.

They're "Pro-choice" (for want of a better term) as is the whole concept of libertarianism. Some libertarians on the left hate guns and don't own them, but respect the right of people to own them. Some others do 'ave 'em. ;)

Remember that in the graph, it's the bullet points in the middle. It's the individual right to keep and bear arms they'd agree with.

I'm a Libertarian and all my military friends are libertarian and we like our guns.

Indeed, that's the point of libertarianism. Whether you like guns, whether you hate guns, you support people having the choice and that the choice of ownership resides with the individual, not the Government.

Absolutely!!
The reason we have our gun rights is to protect us from a tyrannical government. And when a government want to take those rights away you better watch out. I believe that's one of the first things Hitler did when he came into power. Once the guns were taken he had nothing to fear.

Wonder how your AR 15 fairs against an F16. You honestly believe having a rifle could stop a tyrannical government, just poison your water damage your crops.

Selling guns and needing medical insurance is a license to print money in Merica.

As someone who is a liberal I fall on this side of the arguement. Guns are simply not going to stop a brutal dictatorship should one happen with a military force bring mobilised against it's own people.
About 40k people died from guns in the US in 2018 apparently

F16's need pilots. How many American pilots would fire on their own citizens to protect their "government"?

Maybe not but I'll fight for something I believe in. One of the reasons Japan was hesitant to invade the U.S. was not only the military but almost every household had a gun in it. There are militia groups in the U.S. with a lot more fire power than little old me. Besides that I don't believe our boys and girls in our military would rise up with a tyrannical government against their own.
I'm not arguing with you, I'm telling you why the framers of the U.S. Constitution gave us our gun rights.
You're correct about the fact that guns and insurance bring in money in America. I wish the insurance part would go away but it is what it is at the moment.

If anything the 2nd Amendment should be updated to include F16's. That was it's interpretation, after all; A populous equal in military strength to it's government.

Yeah, but none were killed by a tyrannical government.
