There are already millions of democratic, even liberal gun owners and they favor what they see as reasonable gun control legislation. I'd guess that if there are millions of new democratic gun owners they'd favor some gun control too. Some proposals even republicans support, like background checks at gun shows, limited clip size, etc. As we all know it's a republican talking point that democrats want to ban guns. Very few democrats want that.

With several million new gun owners this year, many of them hailing from Democratic-leaning constituencies, I actually wonder if the polling on gun control has changed at all. I do know gun control groups are getting more shy about advocating for it right now. https://t.co/rDMYOL3SZm

Starting to form a humble opinion of the current zeitgeist.

Now that the old farts at the NRA are flailing and failing, guns are becoming very popular (see whole thread.)

Guns are necessary protection when everybody is mad at each other and you never know when a mob will form that doesn't like what it says on the T-shirt or cap you're wearing or whatever.

Guns are power against corrupt government. Which government is corrupt is in the eye of the beholder, of course.

Covid has made everyone feel more protective of their "home", it's all they've got and a gun will help protect them there. (At your old work site, there were other kinds of protection.)

Guns give you power in general.

Guns are awesome, make you a man.

It's different from the old "gangsta" culture. Guns are for the "righteous" now., and righteous-ity is in the eye of the beholder.
