A long-running survey by NORC at the University of Chicago reveals a major shift among Democrats towards gun ownership - despite their party having spent decades, fueled by far-left corporate media and billionaire-funded anti-gun groups - to limit or prohibit law-abiding citizens from exercising their rights under the Second Amendment.

In some instances, folks were waiting around the corner to buy a handgun. And now, which the data does not cover fully, the Biden-Harris administration's migrant invasion with Venezuelan prison gangs running amok has spooked the hell out of Americans further. I Meme Therefore I Am 🇺🇸 @ImMeme0 🚨BREAKING: Newly released video shows armed gang of Venezuelan illegals take over apartment complex in Aurora, Colorado.

The Harris-Walz campaign understands the importance of capturing the 2A vote. Collin Rugg @CollinRugg NEW: Kamala Harris is now branding herself as a staunch 2nd Amendment supporter after trying to degrade the 2A for her entire career. Harris is now even claiming she is a proud gun owner. New campaign ad: Tim Walz and I are gun owners. Oprah interview: If someone breaks into Steve Cortes @CortesSteve 🚨Kamala Harris is a radical Marxist who will eradicate the Second Amendment.
