I can't say that I'm surprised, but it sure is troubling to see such a partisan divide in gun ownership.

I may go back to DKOS and DU after New Years but not before.

Interesting. Looks like military service is the only category where both sides are close to even. Probably more indicative of a cultural divide within D voters.

It's the classic urban/rural divide. As for the military, sometimes it's the only way out aside from a wooden box.

It's interesting that Democrats who identify as Protestants are much more likely to own guns then the other Democratic religious subgroups and democrats as a whole. What's truly interesting is that "Protestant" Democrats are more likely to own guns then "Evangelical Christian" ones. I guess that by "protestant" they mean "mainline protestant", but the chart doesn't say. I wonder if mainline protestant Democrats are more likely to own guns because we are more likely to be rural and older, and evangelical democrats are relatively younger (30-50 rather than 50+) and suburban. Just a thought.

Good article. Thanks

Should almost be a sticky here.
