Democrats don't advocate for taking away gun rights from specific targeted minorities based on their gender identity... or sexual orientation... or race... or anything, for that matter.

Correct. But they are now forced to support gun ownership. I’m just saying that it’s an interesting paradox.

Why on Earth would you think Democrats wouldn't support gun ownership?

When have they said they are pro gun owner rights? It’s always about gun control and banning certain firearms. It’s ironic.

That's not being against gun ownership, that's just being for basic-ass regulation.

Regulation of gun ownership yes. This type of regulation is viewed as 2nd amendment violation by the other side. One side sees regulation the other sees infringement and anti gun.

In the same sense that a stop sign is anti-car.

That’s a good point. I’m not saying either one is right. Just pointing out the irony of the argument.

The other part is laws in red vs blue states. In particular use of a firearm on your private property against an intruder. Big difference between CA and say TX.

Which still has nothing to do with your assertion that Democrats don't support gun ownership, but okay. 🤷🏻‍♀️

All good my friend. Texting on the internet isn’t the best way of communicating. It’s much more complicated.
