Millions of Americans own firearms. There is nothing to indicate that the NRA is a factor in all of their lives or even most of their lives. Here's the results of the latest Gallup Poll regarding gun use by party affiliation:

According to the most recent Gallup poll on the issue of self-reported gun ownership by Democrats, gun ownership has been increasing and is now the highest since 1993.

It also appears that there is a record-low of 26% in favor of a handgun ban.
