Vox writer Dylan Matthews took to Twitter Thursday to say that he’s “totally down” with President Barack Obama unilaterally banning Americans from buying guns.
“This is not Dems’ sales pitch but I’m totally down with letting the prez unilaterally ban people (hopefully everyone!) from buying guns,” Matthews tweeted.
Matthews said in a later tweet to fellow liberal journalist Glenn Greenwald, “I don’t think there’s an individual right to bear arms.” Matthews did say, however, that he respects “erring toward due process.”

@dylanmatt Honestly, it's always a terrible idea to allow restriction of rights without courts, evidence & due process: it will be abused.

@ggreenwald reasonable. I don't think there's an individual right to bear arms but I totally respect erring toward due process

As you might expect, it wasn’t long before the liberal writer was blasted for his seemingly extreme position.
Others questioned whether Matthews would feel same way if Donald Trump was president.
