Stunning! Gun Ownership Reaches Record High As Democrats Continues To Push Gun Control
Recent polls from Harvard and NBC reveal unexpected insights into the landscape of gun ownership and rights in America, challenging prevailing narratives surrounding the issue. Despite a strong anti-gun rights sentiment emanating from the White House and media outlets, these polls indicate a noteworthy shift in public attitudes.
According to NBC, a majority of respondents (52%) now assert that they or someone in their household owns a firearm. Notably, the Harvard poll underscores that six in ten voters consider owning a gun an essential means of self-protection against criminal threats.

Contrary to the prevailing anti-gun rhetoric, the public sentiment seems to be diverging significantly. A surprising 55% of voters now attribute rising crime rates to “Woke politicians.” With gun control emerging as a key focus for Democrats in the upcoming election, the polls underscore a widening gap between the party’s agenda and the concerns of the majority, particularly as crime rates continue to escalate, ranking among the top issues for the 2024 election.
NBC’s polling data reveals a record high number of Americans identifying as gun owners, marking a six percent increase from 2019 when the figure stood at 46%. This upward trend has persisted over the last decade, with a remarkable 10-point surge.
Notably, the data includes 41% of Democrats, suggesting a potential scenario where half of Democratic voters may soon reside in households with gun owners. Independents confirm ownership at 45%, while an overwhelming 66% of Republicans acknowledge having firearms.

The Harvard poll delivers a potentially chilling revelation for the Democratic Party, as citizens overwhelmingly blame left-leaning “woke” policies for the surge in crime. A substantial 42% believe that crime and safety in their communities are worsening, compared to only 21% who perceive an improvement.
Harvard’s inquiry into the perceived need for firearm ownership in the face of potential criminal attacks yielded compelling results. A majority in all three political categories—Democrats, Republicans, and independents—affirmed the necessity of owning a gun. Astonishingly, 54% of Democrats, alongside 77% of Republicans and 56% of independents, expressed this belief.

This dichotomy within the Democratic Party, where nearly half of its members are gun owners and over half believe in the necessity of gun ownership, underscores a significant disconnect. While Democrats have found success in championing certain issues, such as abortion, recent trends reveal a growing separation on the matter of gun rights. President Biden’s pursuit of aggressive anti-gun policies, despite these shifting sentiments, raises questions about the party’s alignment with its voter base.

Remarkably, despite media critiques, the public appears to be aligning with the Supreme Court’s perspective on gun rights. Since the landmark Heller decision, which affirmed the individual right to bear arms, media outlets have often portrayed the Court as detached from constitutional principles. However, public opinion seems to be diverging from this narrative, indicating a significant disregard for media commentary.
What distinguishes the Second Amendment from other rights is the direct and tangible investment citizens have in its protection. Unlike abstract rights, gun ownership involves a substantial financial and personal commitment. President Biden’s calls for banning assault weapons and certain handguns resonate as potential threats to the property and safety of millions of Americans.

While the Court may find itself at odds with a majority on issues like abortion, an increasing number of voters appear to be embracing gun ownership and rights. This does not negate the possibility of supporting reasonable limits, as the Court has emphasized since Heller. However, the polls suggest that the United States, on a household level, has become a majority gun-owning nation, setting the stage for an intriguing dynamic leading up to the 2024 election.
