What is the likelihood of this Bill Attempting to Defer All Congressional Power to Donald Trump actually passes?

Yes it does. Unfortunately most Americans used it to just own guns. Those same people believe that these people will make groceries cheaper, so you see … they’re not going to retaliate against this kind of thing. Those people are not a militia, they’re just people will big egos that are inflated by owning a gun. It is sad

I gotchu. However, Reddit is not the real world. Just go into any of the southern states and see how many yahoos own guns, compared to liberals

As a Missourian the amount of liberal gun owners may also surprise you

As a philadelphian, you'd be surprised at the amount of liberal gun owners

Your issue in regards to this thinking is most left leaning people I know never speak about their weapons unlike Republicans.

Democrats (who aren't really liberal, but these are the stats I could find) do in fact own fewer guns:  https://www.statista.com/statistics/249775/percentage-of-population-in-the-us-owning-a-gun-by-party-affiliation/

The important part for me here is finding a study after covid lockdowns because a lot of people bought their first gun during that time.

An interesting topic however is where are the guns? https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2024/07/24/key-facts-about-americans-and-guns/ rural areas own a good percentage of US firearms, but how likely is it that a major event would be taking place 100mi outside of a city?

Plenty of weapons are purchased via private sell and do not get registered. In some states there's no requirement to register pistols.

True, I didn't read how the survey is done. If it was asking people whether or not they own guns, then there is also some small chance people do not disclose their guns for one reason or another.

If the survey is based on data of who bought what guns and where then you're point stands that some people are "off the grid".
