Why is the civil liberty to carry guns the only one Republicans seem to care about while it's the only one Democrats don't seem to care about?
Do you have an answer in mind for this, or is it an honest question? Just curious because I do think it's a good question on both sides (assuming you mean "only" in a hyperbolic sense).


I agree it does work for both side. His “only” annoyed me so I didn’t respond.

One possible answer if you take everything to extremes:

Republicans - are for the rich

Democrats - are for the poor.

Rich people like to be able to protect their belongings from the poor so they want guns

Poor people often get shot robbing the rich or each other.

So, the democrats figure if there are no guns no one gets shot. The republicans figure if there are no guns all their riches will be plundered.

If you look at cases where anarchy has broken out (riots,, and the like) this usually plays out. The store owner with a gun comes out ahead of the one without. You can also use this with war or invasions. Basically the rich want to protect their way of life.
