That's legal guns. Democrats own considerably more illegal guns than Republicans. Obviously self-reported data for illegal firearms is low quality.

  Yeah, there's just tons of 922r compliance going on down at everyone's local range. And everyone's "solvent trap" keeps springing a leak right at the end, some how. /s

    922r is basically just a buy American regulation that has the added bonus of letting ATF hassle people selectively. On the other hand, "solvent traps" remind me of wine bricks[1]. Both are obviously legal. Sure you could do illegal things with them, but you could do illegal things with a coke bottle too. But what does this have to do with illegal guns as any ordinary person understands them? Maybe some Republican bubba's Benelli duck hunting gun is technically illegal because he put a mag extension on it without swapping out enough Italian made parts, but frankly you're grasping at irrelevancies. Meanwhile, plenty of Democrats in Chicago own illegal sears for their Glocks along with drum mags[2]. Now that's something that maybe we should care about, because those are real criminals hurting real people and not just criminals on paper for violating frankly ridiculous regulations. Edit: Added easily Google-able link for illegal sears in Chicago.

      There's a word for people who pick and choose which laws to follow: criminals. And I don't think there's too many duck guns subject to 922r. > Meanwhile, plenty of Democrats in Chicago own illegal sears for their Glocks along with drum mags. How do you know they're democrats?
