The point is not that liberals don't have guns. It's that these gun nuts assume anyone who doesn't have a gun must disagree with them.

"Anyone who disagrees with me must be a liberal. All liberals must be shot. Therefore we must shoot anyone who doesn't have a gun. Then we take their stuff."

Don't overthink it.

I don't disagree that there are liberals who own guns. Are they organized? If the wingnuts had an organization, someone telling them where to go and what to do, could ordinary citizens stop them? That's what I'm wondering.
