I'm liberal on many things except for the 2nd amendment and a handful of issues. I'm very pro 2nd amendment

Random off-topic comment here: the traditional meaning of "liberal" is that you do not want regulation.

Being socially liberal means you do not want religion and tradition to tell you how you should behave socially (sexuality, marriage, religion and so on).

Being financially liberal means you do not want the State telling you how to spend your money.

So liberalism is the ideology of less control.

Strangely though this does not apply to guns.

When you say you're a liberal in the context of gun control, it means you want State control of guns.

Just a random observation.

That definition of "liberal" has not applied in the USA since the 1960s. It's progressively moved toward control, and now is attempted minute control of every aspect of life. Speech, sexuality, yes including "approved" religions or not. Guns was one of the first things they went for starting in the 1980s.
