Sure, without a doubt. Are there any major political parties on the left with pro-gun or not-anti-gun platforms though?

I feel like the political parties of the left use fear of guns like the political parties of the right use fear of non-whites.

Depends on your definitions, right? What you describe sounds an awful lot like the Democratic party, but they're liberals, not leftists. I'd argue they're center-right.

From what I've seen at least, when more leftist parties like Green, DSA, the various communist parties, etc, talk about reducing gun violence it's in the context of eliminating poverty and other environmental contributors to the problem.
