What do you think is the psychology of anti-gun people. For instance, what is going through the mind of San Francisco lefties when they try to impose a citywide ban on legal gun ownership, while at the same time pushing for softer crime enforcement. It is almost as if every thing they believe in is the opposite of logic and reason.
I was doing some research on political ideologies, personality types, and their psychological primers, and I found that modern day radical leftism is closely tied to masochism (deriving pleasure in self punishment, willingness to subject oneself to trying experiences) and low self esteem. This is not a blanket statment as there are many grey areas, libertarians, progun leftists, etc.. but is just a general observation.
I am curious as to how these antis become masochists? Is it childhood upbringing, mental illness, pure ignorance? What is your opinion?
