Many More Voters With Guns

More than half of American voters say that they or someone in their household owns a gun, according to a poll by NBC News. That’s the highest level since its polls began asking in 1999. After progressives drove up firearm ownership with policies that are soft on violent crime, they can’t figure out why their gun-control ideas fail to pass. The share of voters with a firearm in the household is 52%, up from 46% in 2019 and 42% in 2013. A partisan split is evident. Gun households now include 66% of Republicans, 45% of independents, and 41% of Democrats. This is no surprise, in part because rural areas tilt right, and that’s where hunting is a family event and bears might be prowling the woods.Copyright ©2023 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.

Hunting In Hot Pink May Be Safer, But Some Men Resist. Maybe ‘if I Was Stalking Flamingos.’

Kevin Clements, an upland game hunter who lives outside Seattle, plans to start wearing blaze pink instead of orange when he’s out stalking chukar partridges on the high desert of the Pacific Northwest.“I might get a little razzing for wearing pink,” says Clements, a construction contractor. “My friends will absolutely give me a lot of crap. But they give me a lot of crap anyway.”Copyright ©2023 Dow Jones & Company, Inc. All Rights Reserved. 87990cbe856818d5eddac44c7b1cdeb8
