Democratic Primaries
In reply to the discussion: Do you believe that a majority of NRA members are not the enemy? [View all]Kaleva
(38,317 posts)3. NRA members are more right wing then non-member gun owners
"A majority of gun owners (61%) are Republicans or lean to the Republican Party, but NRA members skew even more heavily to the political right than other gun owners. Roughly three-quarters (77%) of gun owners who say they belong to the NRA are Republicans or lean Republican, while only 20% are Democrats or lean Democratic. Among gun owners who do not belong to the NRA, by contrast, 58% are Republicans and 39% are Democrats. And among Republican gun owners, NRA members are much more likely than nonmembers to describe their political views as very conservative (29% vs. 18%).

I thought that the percentage picking the 1st option, not the enemy, would be in the single digits.

If this was in GD, and it wasn't primary season, the results would be a lot different.
