There's nothing hard-core Marxist about effective gun control.

Americans die of gun shot wounds at about five times the rate of 
citizens of other advanced industrial countries.

This is just harm reduction. It will cut into the turnover of
American small arms manufacturers, and their public relations arm - the 
National Rifle Association - will lie about it with their usual 
enthusiasm but Karl Marx doesn't come into. The capital invested in 
small arms manufacturing is being careless about the lives of the people 
who work in their factories, but you don't need classical Marxists 
economics to notice that.
