They're conservative! They're MAGA! They're pro-2A! And they aren't voting?!
On Friday SCOPE quoted the Babylon Bee. The following is an article from Not the Bee on July 12th.
Study shows that 10 million gun owners are not registered to vote, including millions of swing state voters.
Gun guys! What is going on?
A new study from Vote4America has revealed that there are 10 million gun owners and hunters in the United States who are not registered to vote!
Talk about a missed opportunity!
The wildest part? Tens of thousands of voters in crucial swing states — the states where the future of legal gun ownership may be decided! — haven't registered to vote:
Hunters and gun owners not registered to vote (per Women for Gun Rights)
Pennsylvania 515,277
Michigan 370,619
N Carolina 370,470
Georgia 350,897
Wisconsin 338,884
Missouri 281,102
Virginia 277,390
Arizona 133,094
Nevada 59,173
Montana 52,233
Half a million Pennsylvanians may be "clinging" to their guns like Obama decried years ago, but, fortunately for the Democrats, they don't show up to the polls!
Then we have Michigan, North Carolina, Wisconsin, and Georgia all with 300,000+ potential pro-gun voters who aren't going to the polls.
Donald Trump lost these states by a handful of votes! And we've got hundreds of thousands of gun toters who can't bother to register?
Adviser to the group [Vote4America] Baker Leavitt told District of Conservation podcast host Gabriella Hoffman in a recent appearance that the most common response in its outreach to gun owners is the sentiment 'My vote doesn't count, the system is rigged.'
Despite the pessimism, even marginal wins could pay big dividends come November. 'If we could convert 2% of all licensed hunters and get them to vote, GOP would win in a landslide,' Leavitt told Hoffman.
Hoffman noted that 'a lot of hunters and gun owners, they're very animated in social media, they have a lot of opinions, but they don't go out to vote. They talk a great deal, often about preserving your rights, doing this — hunting — but a lot of people don't follow through with voting.'
They're so checked out of the system that they don't realize that their votes — again, tens of thousands of them — could completely change the course of the country!
They're conservative! They're MAGA! They're pro-2A! And they aren't voting.
Gun owners, do us all a favor and get out there and vote!
Note: New York is not considered a “swing state.” But SCOPE estimates that 1.8 million out of 5.0 million gun owners vote. National averages have about 67% of eligible voters actually voting. If 67% of the gun owners in NY State voted that would be an additional 1.5 million votes. NY would become a “swing state” and a huge number of “down ballot” candidates would benefit.
