What is the Zig Forums consensus on gun control? I know that many are against it, and this pro-ownership stance is common among a variety of groups from MLs to anarchists. However, I've also talked to supposedly radical leftists whose beliefs on the subject are the same as that of the liberal establishment. What do you have to say on the subject?

So long as the enemy has and uses guns, we have no chance of achieving anything without them too.
I have however always been happy living in a country without guns, and I'd probably be freaked out walking around in America with crazy burgers packing pistols when going to McDonalds.
Pretty sure everybody here apart from a few socdems opposes gun control. I personally would support a well armed population even after socialism is established, using something like Switzerland's militia system as well as permissive private ownership laws like in the US, Canada, or the Czech Republic. I would want some light controls, like needing to purchase a license which would require passing a safety course. This would grant unrestricted access to rifles and shotguns, including semi autos without registration or tracking of purchases. Handguns may require a special license with additional training and possibly registration since they are far more likely to be used in a crime, but that would be it. Unfortunately apart from Albania I don't know of any socialist states that actually did this.
Depends strongly on whether the police are also armed.
Mandatory gun ownership for every household.

Under a capitalist state, you should be able to overthrow the state, at some point armed struggle is inevitable.
Under transitionary socialism, weapons should be mandatory for the general population along with training and strict rules of usage as to avoir counter-revolutionary elements.
Under communism, guns would be useless.
no such thing
i'm overall pro gun.
But i live in brazil and i can't defend gun ownership here. People are batshit crazy and already kill themselves for dumb reasons enough. We are a really violent country with shit revolutionary potential. Legalizing guns would not arm the good proles, only the reactionary middle class(i know they are still proles, there is no such thing as middle class, yaddayadda) would have access to guns.
Besides any revolutionary group can get some smugled guns it's hella easy.
Extremely light regulation, hell maybe even this unironically
