There are really just a handful here at DU that have the Leave my Guns Alone mentality.

13. There are 80-100+ million gun owners in the USA.

More than one out of every three American adults own a firearm, many of them are Democrats, often in very contested purple states, and they tend to vote in large numbers.

If you're surprised that you see a large number of vocal pro-gun rights (along with other pro-Democratic positions) members of DU, you really need to take a long and thoughtful walk around our big tent.

Also, as I've indicated numerous time, I personally have never owned a firearm in my life. I have no guns to be left alone.

Lastly, for reference, I'll leave you with the excerpt from our Democratic Platform concerning firearms.

Firearms. We recognize that the individual right to bear arms is an important part of the American tradition, and we will preserve Americans' Second Amendment right to own and use firearms. We believe that the right to own firearms is subject to reasonable regulation. We understand the terrible consequences of gun violence; it serves as a reminder that life is fragile, and our time here is limited and precious. We believe in an honest, open national conversation about firearms. We can focus on effective enforcement of existing laws, especially strengthening our background check system, and we can work together to enact commonsense improvements—like reinstating the assault weapons ban and closing the gun show loophole—so that guns do not fall into the hands of those irresponsible, law-breaking few.
