OK, even if its true, I showed you a quote that Orwell stated that every serious work he wrote he wrote to further Democratic socialism.
He can claim he is a cat from the planet Nobo, but the dangers of a powerful government is a conservative theme.

Guns are a tumor on the lungs of this country and will enviably lead to our nations downfall. The fact that we have a large scale massacre almost every month and we as a nation can't find ways to address the obvious gun problem is indicative of a nation and society that is in a deep state of social and political paralysis. Historically this is an indication of a culture's decline.

A gun can't kill a person. It requires another person.

Guns aren't the problem. People who kill are.

Our founders were conservative. Just look at the Bill Of Rights.

So, people didn't murder other people until guns came on the scene?

I'll skip the YouTube videos of airplanes going into the towers or the truck in Nice.

No he didn't. Maybe you should read what he said again.

I guess that’s why it’s called a liberal democracy then.

Evil people are the problem not the tool they use to kill. But keep at that, it's entertaining.
