Hard to know when a lot of the left still uses it as a talking point knowing a large swath of their base votes with feelings and not facts.(not saying you specifically you seem fairly rounded in ideology) Voting while incarcerated is where I break from the Bernie bros. Imprisoned people are easily manipulated and that can be weaponized in a very bad way. They definitely should have the ability to get out, change their life, and be able to participate, goes for guns too. (though violent felons I don't think should get their right to carry back, but I'm not 100% convinced on that).
What's disturbing to me is the left VS right arguments on things like guns when there is a big % of people on the left that are like you and very pro 2A. The people against guns are actually the minority in the USA, but they are the loudest and most mainstream. It's so weird to me that people call everyone on the right far right when even the right shuns those types and everyone on the left is considered far left when true leftists are closer to the actual far right than to mainstream democrats or republicans and they love guns. What's even more weird is that the corporate communists of the world have convinced a lot of the uneducated "socialists" guns are bad when Karl Marx said to never give up your guns at all costs. Those types have nothing good intended for any of us and it's exactly why they push the "guns bad" narrative so hard, it's the only thing keeping them from total control.
