The right wing view is that "corporations are (made of, owned by) people", that regulation of people (which includes corporations) is wrong and the state/government should be limited.
The gun people in your example decided to use governmental regulation to protect their personal freedoms - which is definitely a leftist stance. Now they are on the right, but what you said moves them to the left.
The reason the gun people support the 4th amendment and still are on the right is because it's not a regulation that affects people, it limits the state.
Again, I'm not saying it's wrong to be a leftist. I support the right to repair too.
Wanting more personal freedoms is generally considered a right-wing view. Creating a right to repair is about placing limits on corporations, not actual people. Try telling people that they can only use "original" parts in their guns and suddenly the entire NRA will be on the streets demanding a constitutional amendment in support of right-to-repair. This isn't a left-right political thing. It is a persons v. corporations issue, with government as the representative of the people.
