  Not really… According to Pew Research Approximately 45% of Republicans report owning a gun, compared to about 20% of Democrats. Considering the parties are often roughly equally sized when it comes to these statistical models, that’s not actually a massive difference. There are plenty of armed Democrats, they’re just not vocal about wanting to worship their tools.

    By your own statistics, and assuming we’re discounting independents, Republicans have over twice the gun owners than democrats, putting them over 2/3 of American gun owners. Of course, that’s assuming they are actually “roughly equally sized”. I’d say over double is in fact a massive difference.

    You’re right, however, that Democratic gun owners tend to he less vocal about the second amendment. There are plenty of Democrats that own 1 or 2 small firearms for self defense that support heavier gun restrictions, for instance.
