"left" thinks they know best and that it's government's job to tell people how to live their lives, their justification is that it's for the greater good, to save lives, etc... so they do that by restricting people's rights/freedoms, by redistributing people's hard earned $$ to social programs, etc...

"right" is opposed to policies like that, "right" believes that each person knows best how to live their own lives and so they should be the ones making the decisions not some corrupted politician...
So it's not about saving lives. And the Right is happy to see more die because killing people is your freedom.

It's about the Arms Industry profits and share prices. You know that and so does everyone else.

How much does it cost for a Right Wing politician to get elected? So they can block any move that makes guns less deadly and the arms industry bosses richer?
