I think they (and possibly other liberals) are half right. Same with authoritarianism loving right wingers. But typically wrong is their analysis of root cause and solution. I generally make a plea for equal treatment under law, equal opportunity, personal individual freedom and liberty, and right to self, personal property, and self protection. Win them over on these base concepts, then illustrate all instances or conditions where their political viewpoints violate these values. Prepare yourself for much equivocation.
Correct:
The system is rigged against us.
Banks are evil.
War is evil.
Voting/democracy is rigged.
The justice system is unfair or unfairly exercised/applied.
The world is not fair (This is true. It is not and never will be. But the rules to the game can be fair.)
Incorrect:
Capitalism is bad or to blame (correction: crony capitalism is bad, we need more freedom not less)
Authoritarianism, coercion, and force are ok as long as it suits my ends/values (correction: always bad as the pendulum swings the tools you use can be used against you...incremental road to authoritarianism)
Guns and personal protection are bad (correction: self protection is a basic human right, murder and violence always have been and continue to be illegal and evil)
Everyone is/should be equal (correction: equal opportunity does not yield equal outcomes. The second you "correct" or level set any inequality, nature and reality begin to express imbalances in intelligence, beauty, ability, talent, wisdom, judgement, prudence, physical gifts etc. Nature expresses itself with normal distributions.)
Words or thoughts are acts of violence (correction: no, unless pose clear and present danger)
I'm sure there is more...

Have we learmed nothing?
History repeats itself ad nauseum.
Unarmed citizens massacred by government.
I guess it's hard to learn when you, yourself, weren't killed.
Hosea Chapter 4
Verse 6
My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.
Do, pray tell why the 2nd Amendment was written into the U.S. Constitution?
According to Jesus, it's better to be naked and armed than clothed and disarmed:
Luke Chapter 22
Verse 35
And he said unto them, When I sent you without purse, and scrip, and shoes, lacked ye any thing? And they said, Nothing.
36
Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.
38
And they said, Lord, behold, here are two swords. And he said unto them, It is enough.
People hate Ayn Rand but forget that her whole personality and ideology is based on having watched the bloodshed of socialism/communism/kikes/devils in the seat of power.
