meant it was liberal because people's actions were not restricted.
Three points:
1) Liberals usually defend the potential victims of the world (such as the people that might get shot)
2) A populace armed with pistols and rifles won't get far against an army with tanks, machine guns, flame throwers, bombs...
3) Most of the western Democracies have gun control and they certainly aren't any more fascist than the US!
