Most Republicans Own Guns

Most Republicans own guns.  Most Democrats do not.  Most independents do not.

This is a real difference - gun ownership is one of the strongest predictors of Republican affiliation.

There are Republican majorities in all age groups and both sexes.

The more education Americans have, the less likely they are to own a gun.

The biggest gap:

High-school educated Republicans: 59%
Post-graduate educated Democrats: 22%

Less educated Americans need guns more than more educated Americans.So?

And? This just proves that Democrats would rather be victims and Republicans are ready to be survivors---and the liberal elite are still glad to let someone else do the dirty work of protecting them.

My New Deal liberal grandfather has many shotguns and a hunting rifle, stats aren't always useful. That said, Mac not all of us feel we need to be brutish gun-nuts who want to exploit the 2nd Amendment out of paranoia, thank you.

Kyactivist...name calling is not useful, go away until you have an argument to make.

Ah, that's all right, kyactivist. This "paranoid brutish gun-nut" with a doctorate spent 21 years in the Marine Corps making sure you still have the right to speak your piece.

Travis Walton said...

We should not exploit the first amendment either...
