      That’s not what I was arguing. And I didn’t specify Dems. They’re part of the problem because they keep capitulating to the GOP.

      Review on your own the percentage of guns registered to Dems vs GOP. Then, remove party monikers and see where the guns are for Left vs Right.

      Last exercise… Do you think if pressed MTG or Tucker would fight for or against whatever alliance forms for Trump? Will the lines be ideological or will they be blurry? Will your own classical beliefs allow you to fight alongside someone who is ideologically different to you but going after the same target? Who leads this hypothetical side?

        That is what you are arguing. How Dem leaders vote has nothing to do with gun ownership which is exactly what you are referencing to the other person’s comment regarding a civil war.

        As for the data, every one knows Republicans have more guns. But Dems and independents also have guns and less than half of Republicans have guns. Don’t act like it’s 100%.

        The below is just one study. Plenty more have similar results.

          You addressed only one part of my post. I’ll reserve my opinion on preparedness since it doesn’t seem to really matter.

      Sure but they won’t do any thing as is the democratic way. Be a limp noodle.
