    whereas it has not been common among the left and people who are not straight.

    This has never been true except in the mind of liberals.

      Regarding that statement I could only speak from personal experience, meaning my statement is as anecdotal as yours in this case so I have nothing more to say in response.

        Except if you are actually in gun communities you will meet lots of leftists, whereas if you aren’t in gun communities you won’t meet anyone. Being personally ignorant isn’t the same as going out and becoming informed.

          Except I own 3 firearms and have held a membership to my local gun range for several years and that is not the case where I am. Furthermore not only am I speaking to my experience in this as a firearms owner, but as a gay man, who has a lot of friends in the LGBTQ+ community.

          Don’t make assumptions that I am not involved, or that everything is the same everywhere.
