The proportion of registered Democrats who have a firearm in their home has jumped significantly over the past few years.. rising crime in urban areas could be behind the increase.
In November 2023 the survey found 41 percent of Democrats said they live in a household with a gun, up from 33 percent in a similar survey .. in August 2019. Notably, 33 percent of Democrats also said they lived with a gun in a similar NBC survey conducted in March 2004, indicating the sharp rise has been concentrated over the past four years.

The data also showed a rise in Republicans having a gun at home... In November 2023, 66 percent of registered Republicans said they live with a firearm, against 64 percent in August 2019 and 57 percent in March 2004. Overall 52 percent of registered voters said their household has a gun in the latest poll, up from 46 percent in 2019.
Speaking to Newsweek Professor Kleck, who teaches criminology and criminal justice at Florida State University, said the overall American figure is broadly in line with previous figures and suggested the increase amongst Democrats could be down to a crime surge in major cities.
He said: "The percent of American adults reporting a gun in their household was 53% in a January 1994 CBS/NY Times poll, 52% in a March 1989 CBS/NY Times poll, and a statistically indistinguishable 51% in Harris polls back in 1968 and 1971.

Depends on the age…
Boomer libs and most lib women are very anti-gun. Most of the pro-gun libs are violent, authoritarian leftists who identify with Antifa, the John Brown Society, etc. like this guy https://www.berkshireeagle.com/news/local/james-fergie-chambers-cox-media-berkshire-communists-alford-hamas-antisemitism-israel-palestine/article_87042bcc-7fd5-11ee-99c1-5ff7316e4530.html

Liberals are also embracing racism and genocide.
Hope we can turn them into 2A voters. A good ad would be to emphasize Democrat on soft crime polices and gun control efforts. We need a Willie Horton ad.
“Liberal America is Embracing Firearms”
The same way liberal america embraces freedom of speech: only for themselves.
Joe said that double-barreled shotguns were OK.
Not to worry. They still have Trumpnazi.
Founding Fathers had no clue. In the 1790s only men with "qualifications" could buy guns.
That was true of voting. I must have missed it in my reading of the Second Amendment, though.
Of the total net 4.5 million increase of immigrants on Biden’s watch, (excluding bogus asylum-seekers) at least 2.5 million of that are illegal immigrants.....

I still carry at 75. Still a decent shooter. I’ve upgraded to an AR 15. Grandson has promised to take me to where he goes to practice when I’m comfortable with it.

New shoes, haircuts. Nice luggage too. How is that?
Oh that’s right, it was dpuble barrel. 2 shots against 3 or 4 armed thugs with pistols that have a dozen or more shots each, breaking into a home firing at the homeowner should be fine for liberals- Joe said so
More cultural enrichment.
They need some voter outreach to help them connect the dots.
They always have, they just don’t want their opponents to have them. That means you!
