Is the idea that leftists don’t own or use guns actually accurate?

Question

Pretty sure there are plenty of leftists or left-aligned radicals who own, use, or have used guns. Just look at cases like Tyler Robinson, Micah Xavier Johnson, James Hodgkinson, Willem van Spronsen, Michael Reinoehl, Connor Sturgeon, Luigi Mangione, Tycen Proper, and others. So the idea that a hypothetical civil conflict would be one-sided because “leftists don’t use guns” is not realistic. That scenario is more political fantasy than serious analysis.

Nobody has accused leftists of honesty. They are deliberately ignoring gun crimes and targeting law abiding gun owners exclusively. That said, gun criminals are still a minority. Despite the image leftist rhetoric is meant to construe. That’s why it’s appalling that they are so eager to strike down the second amendment to the detriment of millions of law abiding gun owners.
If you think that a minority of gun criminals and looney leftists can hold a candle to the millions of law abiding gun owners if and when a major civil conflict erupts, then you haven’t been paying attention.

e most terrifying force of death, comes from the hands of men who wanted to be left alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know, that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. The moment the men who wanted to be left alone are forced to fight back, it is a form of suicide. They are literally killing off who they used to be. Which is why, when forced to take up violence, these men who wanted to be left alone, fight with unholy vengeance against those who murdered their former lives. They fight with raw hate, and a drive that cannot be fathomed by those who are merely play-acting at politics and terror. TRUE TERROR will arrive at these people’s door, and they will cry, scream and beg for mercy… but it will fall upon the deaf ears of the men who just wanted to be left alone. Alexandr Solzhenitsyn

You sound dumb as hell. The US military is heavily right-wing and have access to all the equipment every day to carry out a war. In other nations you see how their organized militaries take losses of 120 soldiers to every 1 America solider, but you think your vegetarian diet, 3D printed plastic guns, no bullet stockpile, and absolutely no experience makes you superior to organized armies in other parts of the world. Crazy as hell. The large majority of veterans are right-wing. Most military recruits come from southern red states where military culture is passed down generation to generation. Kids train with weapons from the time they can walk... The large majority of gun owners are right wing. Your fantasies of a socialist revolution are ridiculous. You'd take losses at probably 500 times the rate of the right wing and you are outnumbered to begin with. It would be a blood bath. You have no chance.
