What Do We Know About Guns?

So, if you want to fill up some space on a news website with a headline that will get readers to at least pause for a second to look at that page (and the ads on that page) you can always run a story about guns — works every time.

The latest is a new survey done by NBC which finds a ‘record number’ of American homes contain at least one gun, the percentage of such households now hitting 52% to be exact.

Actually, it’s not a majority of all households, it’s a majority of households containing at least one voter and as you might suspect, gun-owning households containing Republic(an) voters outnumber Democrat(ic) gun-owning households by two to one.

This poll result, which the lead pollster described as ‘stunning,’ represents a very serious problem for two reasons, okay?

Reason Number One: All those GOP-voting/toting gun owners are probably also MAGA supporters, and we know what that means.

Reason Number Two: The more guns floating around out there, the more shootings and gun violence we have, particularly in those sanctuary cities and states which actually impose some kind of laws or regulations on how people should behave with guns, but the goddamn liberals want to pass more laws on everything — so what else is new?
