So much of today’s political landscape is shaped by polls. The problem for those who abhor our freedom is that these same polls do not agree with their preferred narrative and agenda.

So much of today’s political landscape is shaped by polls. Cable news is obsessed with them. Polls are the pulse of campaigns. If they’re down in the polls, political candidates talk about their own internal polling to dispute the narrative. Sometimes they are right. But what really shapes political landscapes are demographic changes. And, with gun ownership, we have a shift that must be troubling gun-control groups and the politicians they support.
Now, more than half of American voters say that they or someone in their household owns a gun, according to a poll by NBC News. This is the highest level of gun ownership this poll has found since it began in 1999. “After progressives drove up firearm ownership with policies that are soft on violent crime, they can’t figure out why their gun-control ideas fail to pass,” said The Wall Street Journal when it cited this poll.
