One of the surest signs that people are scared, is if they are still allowed by the state to buy guns, they go out and buy guns until it hurts. Thus, in the US, polls are showing that for a majority of the population, 52 percent, there is someone in each household owning a gun or guns. And, cutting across the political spectrum, polls also show that 6 in 10 Americans believe owning a gun is a necessary measure to protect against criminals. Further, 55 percent of voters believe that “Woke politicians are to blame for rising crime.” This all runs counter to the Biden administration’s rhetoric that guns cause crime, and that only white racists have an interest in firearms ownership. But 41 percent of Democrats say that they, or someone in their household, owns a gun. And, 42 percent of Democrat voters say that crime is increasing.
