Much of the reason is barely mentioned: the insular culture of the old media, where conservatives need not apply, or are drummed out when they dare reveal themselves.
You do not see Conservative celebrities in the old media.
And you do not hear them asking the anti gun celebrities if they avail themselves of armed security. It really does not matter if their gated limited access communities, clubs with hardcore security, or preferential treatment in the gun ownership process because of their “special” status...they love guns, but only in their sphere. They could live in a world without guns...except those in their service.
Hypocrisies...the new way...easier, faster, sexier and richer. But it is still nonsense.
