I disagree. IIRC only 36% of Americans are gun owners or live with a person who owns a gun. Of the 64% of Americans who do not own guns I betcha damn near every one of them would be happy to see guns gone or at least severely restricted. It’s assumptions such as you make that help keep our gun culture and these horrific massacres alive and well.

I see your point and his, because don’t forget people like ex-lizard Dark_Falcon who, even though he owned no guns himself, would scream like a stuck pig at the thought of restricting them in any way (“disarmament”, he called it).

So until proven otherwise, I just figure all the GOPers and GOPer-lite types among US voters will gladly vote for an NRA lickspittle to spite libruls even if they think assault weapons are too easy to get. This is just how ~62 million American voters roll, brainwashed Fox cultists who’ll crap all over their own best interests just to stick it to the libs.

What we do have going for us is the untapped reserve of non-voters who might finally realize they can make a difference when they show up.
