Progressive Policy Backfire Turns Liberals Into Gun Owners

• https://www.zerohedge.com, by Tyler Durden

A long-running survey by NORC at the University of Chicago reveals a major shift among Democrats towards gun ownership - despite their party having spent decades, fueled by far-left corporate media and billionaire-funded anti-gun groups - to limit or prohibit law-abiding citizens from exercising their rights under the Second Amendment.

According to the NORC poll, gun ownership for Democrats bottomed between 2010 and 2016 to around 22.5% and 23.2% respectively. By 2022, however, 29.2% of Democrats reported owning guns - while Republican gun ownership hovered at 55% the same year.

WSJ journos Cameron McWhirter and Zusha Elinson attributed "Democrats rediscovering guns" to "street crime" and "right-wing extremists." 

Or could it be... civil unrest from leftist rioting around the country in response to Donald Trump and various police incidents?
