Summary:

Tim Walz and Kamala Harris have both spoken about being gun owners as part of their current campaign. They are part of a growing trend of people on the left opting for gun ownership, explains Lewis & Clark Professor Jennifer Hubbert. The group includes “people who five years ago would never have considered buying a gun,” explains Hubbert, who researches why LGBTQ+ people as well as members of religious and racial minorities are increasingly choosing to own firearms.
