or are you saying that they actually act uncivil and violent? In my experience, it is usually the prohibitionists that are uncivil and bully by trying to shut down "gun worshippers", which might make them progressives, but not liberals.
It sounds like those who say "I don't like democracy or free speech if it doesn't go my way."
