It sounds like you could be arguing from a classical liberalism school of thought as opposed to this post-modern, relativistic liberal school of thought.

Classic liberalism though, I would suspect has roots pre-FDR. Classical liberalism does not espouse pro gun-control views.

Wow.

I just went to do a little reading on this. The word liberal has a long, convoluted history. I still don't see how anyone calling themselves liberal could support gun control, but now that I've skimmed the history of the word a bit, it doesn't drop my jaw anymore.
