4. As we saw in the GE, the typical GOP voter is lightly educated, a racist/bigot, white, etc.

That is your typical gun fancier. I'm not talking about someone who has a gun or two at home for hunting, farm work, etc. I'm talking about those who arm up and train as if preparing for urban warfare.

It's not just GOPers either. I've seen threads right hear about what to tell police if you screw up and shoot someone. That thread was just months before Zimmerman killed an unarmed kid. I've seen threads about your preferred carrier when going to the store or the one about best defense rifle as a hurricane approached New York.

Guns, racism, bigotry, xenophobia, bolstering ones self-esteem with guns (or money), and the like, are characteristic of GOPers, with some overlap.
