In general, Liberals seek to give people greater rights and freedoms and make less restrictions on people. Full access to legal and safe abortion, fully legal and recognized gay marriage, freedom to practice your own faith, or none at all without being forced by the government to worship their way, etc. It's the moral crusaders that bother me. I've spent my life fighting them on abortion, gay rights, and religion.
Not that I oppose every gun control law. Background checks are rather obvious a need. What I hate are the really onerous rules I've seen proposed like requiring the police to come into my home once a year and inspect my storage containers. That's just creepy anti-4th amendment bad.
