If the politicians within the Democratic Party really believed that there was a decline in gun ownership in Democratic households, they would take advantage of that belief (as they did prior to the 1994 losses to the Repubicans) and actively push for more gun control legislation.
They are not doing that because they have learned from applying common sense and from the losses in the 1994 elections that the number of anti-gunners is actually smaller than the numbers which the anti-gunners believe to exist.
Any anti-gunner who really believes that there are sufficient numbers to support an anti-gun influenced election can run for election. How many are doing that? Apparently none.
Until the anti-gunners can send people door-to-door and inventory gun ownership, no one can ever actually know the number or percentage of guns owned by Democratic households.
