Since Trump’s election, gun groups catering to progressives and people of color report a surge in interest as they look to defend themselves in a country that, to them, feels increasingly unstable.

    Thats a nice lie that left/center leaning people keep telling themselves.

    The reality is that republicans by far have a higher percentage of gun owners.

    If there were a fight that started today, there would be a sweep.

    Then you have to remember that every force of violence in the US, LEOs, all branches of military, all support trump.

        I’m not sure you can even vocalize what you’re trying to say here.

        The facts are just not in your favour.

        https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2024/07/24/key-facts-about-americans-and-guns/

        Key excerpt:

        45% of Republicans and GOP-leaning independents say they personally own a gun, compared with 20% of Democrats and Democratic leaners.

        You’ll find that all available information says similar.

        Republicans have a much higher percentage of gun ownership than democrats.

        It’s not just that they own more guns per individual. They have more individuals with guns.
