do not own any guns at all, much less one designed specifically for killing large numbers of people. A gun purchase is a direct contribution to the right-wing gun lobby, and in turn the Republican Party.

Democrats, on the other hand, would rather buy products that contribute to the health and welfare of society and to improving the environment. Guns do just the opposite.
