I have trouble saying the Democrats are overall authoritarian around guns, at least in terms of what’s getting proposed in the government as bills etc. Unless you count the current sort of rules around driving authoritarian in the states - because most of the proposed rules are similar to driving rules.

And both parties are functionally authoritarian around medicine - it’s regulated to heck and back, often to the detriment of people, though I can’t say if the balance is saving more than it’s harming.
