Comparison of the 2023 and 2025 results of the U.S. National Survey of Gun Policy reveals that an increasing fraction of gun owners (mostly Republicans) valued gun ownership for protection against political violence, but a decreasing fraction thought gun ownership was important to advance political objectives.

So I am a gun owner. I am not a NRA member because I think we can preserve our 2A rights while keeping people safe (Think the Swiss model) and it is amazing that the hard core, typically ultra conservative , you can take my gun from my cold dead hand types are not more up in arms.
Walk back or not they are testing this to see how it goes and the gun nutters should be very very worried. #gun #gunownership #guncontrol #2A #secondamendment

Marginalized communities turn to gun ownership in fear of Trump’s authoritarianism

Marginalized communities turn to gun ownership in fear of Trump’s authoritarianism

"For all the legitimate reasons fueling progressive gun ownership, this trend also points to a perilous trajectory for the country. When citizens on both sides of the spectrum feel compelled to take up arms, it suggests that America is sliding toward a form of “militant democracy,” one in which political conflicts are increasingly defined by shows of force and the looming threat of violence. The more that Americans come to see guns as essential tools of political expression or self-preservation, the more our civic life becomes a powder keg, where every culture-shaking event may be met with talk of outright civil war. In such an environment, we risk our democratic norms giving way to fear, intimidation, and the ever-present possibility of confrontation.
History offers a warning. Societies where opposing factions armed themselves — Weimar Germany in the 1930s, for example — often saw democracy deteriorate into street clashes and authoritarian crackdowns. Even in modern stable democracies abroad, it’s virtually unheard of for mainstream political groups to organize armed wings for “self-defense” in peacetime. The United States is entering an uncomfortable new territory: Rather than relying solely on institutions to resolve political disputes, people are preparing to defend their worldview with weapons in hand. It’s a dynamic that might deter some aggressors in the short term, but it also raises the stakes of every conflict and increases the risk that a spark could ignite something far worse."

#GunOwnership in the United States is significantly higher than in Russia.
In the U.S., about 32% of adults personally own a gun, with over 393 million civilian-owned firearms, equating to 120.5 guns per 100 people.
In contrast, only about 9% of Russians own firearms, with an estimated 13-17.6 million civilian guns, including many illegal ones, resulting in roughly 12.3 guns per 100 people.

So the republicans are blaming Biden for allegedly using quotes to incite violence? I’m not sure repeatedly shouting "fight" to his supporters while he was being ushered to safety was the wisest move by Trump.
Politicians should SERIOUSLY think about the implications of the words they say. Especially in a society seemingly obsessed with guns…

I’ve just been thinking about Trump’s rhetoric regarding ceasing military support for Ukraine if he became president. He supports the NRA, believes his own civilians should be armed, yet won’t supply weapons to a democratic country facing a ruthless enemy.
What a deranged and truly screwed up person he is…
#trump #shooting #guns #gunviolence #america #usa #armscontrol #guncontrol #assassination #nra #gunownership #weapons #election #unitedstates #donaldtrump So we have a controversial and aggressive political figure who supports the NRA, polarises a nation of gun owners, yet people are surprised when something happens?
I’ve just seen an interview with a republican girl from “Women For Trump” who blamed the Democrats and still believes in gun ownership.
Is there any wonder the USA’s in such a mess.

Just a screenshot… but oh, the irony…
Ukraine is one of few countries where the issue of firearms for citizens is not yet regulated by law. The team at @timkmak’s Counteroffensive have written about ongoing efforts to legislate around the ownership of guns, and the debate over whether Ukrainians would have been better able to resist the occupation with free access to weapons.

Dear America,
You’re not exactly showing us that you can be trusted with #GunOwnership.
Please, do better, maybe let’s stop the #NRA and make guns a license you have to renew and be assessed for.

@mapache_tico @kevinrns Precisely correct! If we need tests and regular updates for our driver’s licenses, they can certainly withstand some regulations behind #GunOwnership.
Gun-owning parents make incorrect assumptions about both their children’s awareness of firearm storage locations, and their children’s actions upon encountering an unsecured gun.
