I bet that most illegally owned guns are actually owned by Democrats.

Modern day gun control disproportionately impacts mostly Republican leaning constituencies and Democrats know this. It is all about disarming their opposition even if it is accomplished in only bits and pieces and the end result is something extremely evil.

The left is embracing guns.

The left is becoming very receptive to gun ownership and it is acceptable and normal for them to openly speak of gun buying and joining the rapidly growing leftwing gun training groups without drawing negative reaction from their fellow liberals.

Notice that Pretti’s gun packing during his two recorded physical attacks on federal law enforcement has not led to any gasping or negative gun remarks from the left, and in fact is strongly defended.
