Americans feel unsafe because of progressive soft-on-crime policies. Millions of people are making a difference and they’re accepting the Second Amendment. Many voters are switching parties because of the gun control agenda. RELATED STORY Rasmussen Poll: Americans Are Rejecting More Gun Control. 1 Million Voters Change Party over Gun Control Issues. This is another sign of a potential political wipeout for gun-control-supporting Democrats. They have pushed policies that don’t hold criminals accountable but punish law-abiding Americans. According to the Associated Press, more than 1,000,000 Americans have joined the Republican Party. This shift is affecting all parts of the country. Ben Smith, a suburban Denver resident, said that the shift is more about a rejection of Left. Smith said that he registered as a Republican earlier this year because he was “increasingly concerned about Democrats’ inability of quell violent crime.” Suburban swing The AP’s report examined more than 1.7million Americans who switched parties in the past year. Two-thirds of those who registered went to the GOP. Comparatively, 630,000 were registered as Democrat. The party that supports gun control and defunding the police has a major problem in suburban voters like Smith, who are concerned about crime and their ability protect their families and themselves. This includes legalizing the purchase of a firearm. According to the AP report, “Nowhere is this shift more pronounced — or dangerous for Democrats — then in the suburbs… In the last year, far fewer people have switched to the GOP in suburban counties from Denver to Atlanta to Pittsburgh and Cleveland. Republicans also gained ground in counties surrounding medium-sized cities like Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, Raleigh, North Carolina, Augusta, Georgia, and Des Moines (Iowa).” This analysis is supported by NSSF retailer surveys, FBI National Instant Criminal Background Check System data (NICS), and FBI National Instant Criminal Background Check System data. Background checks for firearm sales have been significantly higher in each of the states than the yearly averages over the years before 2020. Since 2020, Colorado has had nearly 700,00 background checks on firearm purchases in the last 18 months. The Georgia number is close to 650,000. Pennsylvania has over 1.3 million, while Ohio has over 860,000. Onnie Brow, a Phoenix resident, purchased her first firearm out of safety concerns for herself and her children. Onnie Brow now owns several and is worried about strangers entering her home. Brown stated that having firearms in her home makes her feel more secure. “I don’t want to draw a firearm on anyone, but it makes me feel more secure,” Brown said about keeping firearms at her home. The U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in New York to repeal the restrictive and subjective “may-issue” pistol permit law is the biggest gun rights victory in over a dozen years. The decision strengthens the God-given rights of law-abiding Americans for firearms for self-defense both inside and outside the home. However, the defeat has already caused the Blue-state governors to scramble in defeat to determine what options they have to reimpose restrictive gun laws. New York Democratic Governor. Kathy Hochul called the New York Democratic Governor “absolutely shocking” and asked her state legislature to return for an emergency session. Eric Adams, the New York City Democratic Mayor, even called Gov. Hochul will “lead a charge” against the SCOTUS decision. Mayor Adams’s city has gun control laws that are more restrictive than the rest of the state. “Listen, let’s tell you something, Mayor Adams made it clear to media: The Supreme Court has made America very dangerous, especially in New York City.” His city’s voters, who are already being hampered by gun controls laws and the whimsy of dangerous criminals, have already given the mayor failing grades for keeping New York City safe. New Jersey’s Democratic Governor. Phil Murphy is following suit. “Let me make it clear that we here in New Jersey will do everything possible to protect our residents,” said the governor. California’s Democratic Governor. Gavin Newsom joined the gun control chorus in California and “raged at” the Supreme Court’s decision. He tweeted, “This dangerous decision by a court hell bent upon pushing a radical ideology agenda and infringing the rights of states that protect our citizens. . .” Electoral Consequences Partisan gun control officials continue to deny reality. Their voters are tired to be put in danger by misguided policies that include increasing gun control and “defunding the police” schemes that threaten them and their families. Overwhelmingly, law-abiding Americans tell them, “I’ll make it myself!” They have made this known by purchasing legal guns. As more data shows, they are also exercising their political power at the ballot box. Voters will replace elected officials who refuse to listen to the voters’ will. The #GUNVOTE(r), a campaign by NSSF to register gun owners to vote and educate them about Second Amendment issues as well as the record and policies of those running for office, was launched by the NSSF. Voters are reminded by the firearm industry that they must not risk their rights when casting their ballots.
