A survey from The National Shooting Sports Foundation found that a record 5.4 million Americans were first-time gun buyers in 2021.
The survey found a huge uptick in those buying guns were African-Americans, Hispanic-Americans and Asian-Americans.
This is at odds with the Democrat gun-control agenda.
Democrats are now worried that the more people of color buy guns, the more likely they will become Republicans.
The big picture: That more people of color are exercising their Second Amendment rights could spell trouble for Democrats, who already suffered losses among these demographics in key battleground states in 2020.
Appears the Democrats are catching on that all the fear and chaos they created and supported is causing their voting base to arm themselves. Now they are getting scared that they may want to keep them and vote against the gun grabbers.

Owning a firearm comes with weight. Literally and figuratively. That responsibility that one brings upon themselves completely has a way of spreading into other areas of their lives.
Its like a literal freedom seed.

Surprise.
Democrats, lots of them, already own guns.

Yes, there are many left leaning gun owners. What you may be confusing is that most do not have a gun fetish. Highly unlikely you see them post pictures with the whole family posing with guns, or pictures of an arsenal of guns laid out on top of a flag or something.

Huh? Posting a holiday photo with your 8 year old daughter holding an AR is Patriotic?
You do realize, you can love your country and be Patriotic without wrapping yourself in the flag or making clothing from it?
I have to prove I'm Patriotic by taking photos of an arsenal of guns?
That's silly.
So all the gang members who post photos of themselves with weapons are super Patriots?
