Incorrect. Republicans have successfully branded themselves as gun advocates, and Democrats as anti-gun. There are as many liberal gun owners as conservatives.

Incorrect. Republicans have successfully branded themselves as gun advocates, and Democrats as anti-gun. There are as many liberal gun owners as conservatives. Liberals just don't jerk off with their guns on social media.
- js2 6y agoSome brief googling doesn't support the assertion that there are as many liberal (Democratic) gun owners as their are conservative (Republican) gun owners: https://news.gallup.com/poll/21496/gun-ownership-higher-among-republicans-than-democrats.aspx https://news.gallup.com/poll/21496/gun-ownership-higher-amon... But this is way too reductive. There's lots of gun ownership in the US across all political affiliations. Additionally, gun ownership is independent of someone's views on guns. I know people with liberal views on gun ownership who don't own guns and people with restrictive views on gun ownership who do own guns.

- jeffreyrogers 6y agoThis is just factually incorrect. Republicans are significantly more likely to own guns than Democrats: https://www.statista.com/statistics/249775/percentage-of-population-in-the-us-owning-a-gun-by-party-affiliation/ https://www.statista.com/statistics/249775/percentage-of-pop...
