And f you are talking about classical liberalism then your argument is badly out of date. The liberal movement of my lifetime are always for more gun control. Find me a source from the modern era that backs up your claim that true liberals DO NOT want gun control or stricter gun laws. I'll wait right here and be ready to toss back at you dozens of sources that back p the realities of the modern liberal.

You have a sadly over simplistic view of Republicans that is flat out untrue. Off the top of my head the stand your ground law. Another thing that my surprise you is the healthcare mandate. That idea was created by Mitt Romney and then STRONGLY supported by the Republicans until it was put into Obamacare, that's when it became unconstitutional all of a sudden.
Just because the media pushes this ill-informed definition of what a Liberal is doesn't mean that it's what a Liberal is. Really, it's just dumb ass Democrats and "progressives" calling themselves Liberal because Liberals support social justice. Oh, and it's cooler to claim you don't align with the mainstream parties even though you still vote for the mainstream candidates... You just can't call yourself liberal if you want gun control. It's contradictory to the core of Liberal/Libertarian ideals; our personal liberties.
And I refuse to accept the drastic redefinition of Liberals over our lazy ill-informed public.
