Data Point – Gun Gap

“But there was a time when gun owners weren’t so overwhelmingly Republican. In 1976, 50 percent of Republicans, 48 percent of independents, and 45 percent of Democrats owned a gun. That changed in the 1980s and 1990s. By 2000, 30 percent of independents and only 27 percent of Democrats reported having a gun in the home. That drop continued among Democrats; by 2016, only 23 percent owned guns.

Meanwhile, Republican gun ownership has stayed fairly constant. In 2012, 54 percent of Republicans owned guns. That’s nearly the same figure reported in 1973.”

Hmm, we hear all the time about all kinds of “inequality gaps” and Dems / Progressives are always haranguing or Government to artificially “raise” the underrepresented” – so use the force of law to force them to buy a gun?
