Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:

- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Most leftists/libs here are not gun owners. Right-wingers/GOP/fascists tend to be the gun owners.
Link to my other post farther down with receipts: https://alexandrite.app/lemmy.dbzer0.com/comment/23086863
That's your experience, my experience a lot of folks are armed that are libs/leftist vets including me. We just aren't talking about them like "look at my big dick". The ranges I've gone have been a mix of both sides.
I think it's just by the area you live by and your neighbors from your experience.
My gun collection is as vast as my dick is big. 2.
We are gonna need that swinging dick here to help. Even a small thing can make a big difference.
That's your experience.
Exactly everybody's experience is different.
Except it's not. Y'all are a bunch of sensitive babies about these stats. And again, that's YOUR experience. Also, the word "most" seems to have a strange meaning to you.

The projection is strong with this one..
yeah, ahm...those receipts support the previous posters point:
they said that way more libs or leftists are armed than people assume.
20-30% gun ownership is an absurd amount of armed leftists, thus exactly proving the point made.
yes, rightoids have even more guns. that doesn't invalidate the statement that a LOT of the left/libs are also armed.
y'all are just armed to an insane degree in general...
