This is surprising to most Americans who thought that the Communists would have been afraid to allow citizens to have guns. Some American gun advocates have wanted laws to require∫∫ all people in an area to own guns. Ironically, they have no use for Communists and would find it amazing that the Communists agreed with them while most of America did not.
