    Plenty of Democrats own guns, and way more liberals own guns. The ONLY reason gun ownership is so much more prevalent among Republicans than Democrats is that the Democratic party, and by extension many true believers, has been openly hostile to them for 4 decades now and taking every opportunity to disarm people.

      I can’t speak to the situation in the United States, but in Canada in my experience, it is a different situation.

        Canada is different. Canada never fought a war against the crown, and never followed that war by establishing a failsafe specifically preventing the government from having the ability to assert and enforce total control over the population.
