I assure the NRA is licking their chops at the idea of expanding the demographics of gun owners . Contrary to the whining of asshurt antigunners , the NRA really doesn ' t give a shit about partisanship beyond the gun issue . They endorse Democrats who happen to be progun , and attack antigun Republicans . They ' ve also been investing in promoting gun ownership to demographics other than straight white male well before this election women , racial minorities , and LGBTQ people were all seeing growth in gun ownwership even before Nov . 8 . Now that were seeing a real spike , they ' ll probably redouble their efforts to bring those people into the gun owner fold . A situation where the antigun stance is no longer tenable for the Democratic party , because too many of their constituents now oppose it , would be a huge victory in the NRA ' s eyes , and that ' s exactly what they ' re trying to make happen .
