On the other hand, one-third of Democrats (32%) feel their freedom has become less restricted, nine percentage points over the national average (23%), and more than twice the percentage of Republicans (14%). A plurality of Democrats (47%), independents (43%), and roughly one-third of Republicans (35%) feel no change in their freedom to own guns.

  1. I guess it depends a lot upon where you live. Here in PA, purchasing a firearm is simple.

    In CA, it is easier to cross the border illegally from Mecksiko than to purchase a gun.

  2. My buddy, Garish, drove into New Jersey to go to a gun shop. You have to understand that Garish is out of his mind. When the gun shop owner told Garish he could not sell him a gun, Garish took out his cell phone and attempted to record an interview, asking him how he felt about New Jersey gun laws.

    Well, the interview did not go very far. The gun shop owner said “Look, anyone dressed like you has got to be a Fed.”

    We call him “Garish” for good reason.

    So, Garish tried to purchase some ammo, but the shop owner said he would not sell him anything.

    Garish tried one more ruse: “Since this is New Jersey, what if I tell you I am a tran-knee? Will you sell me some ammo?”

    The shop owner laughed and said “OK, maybe you aren’t a Fed. Maybe you are just plain crazy. That’s another reason I won’t sell you anything.” Garish said “Yeah, my friends tell me I am certifiable….but I have fun. Thank you, sir. I am heading back to Pennsylvania, now. Have a great day!”.

    Garish is nuts…entertaining, but nuts.

  3. For the most part all of Gen X and Gen Z are confused about a lot of things beings that they are products of the Liberal Progressive ‘educational Indoctrination system. Formally known as Public Education. They have been indoctrinated to believe only what supports them emotionally and any facts that don’t support their emotional reaction to them must be ignored.
