It’s normal for opposing political parties to disagree on major issues such as firearms use and ownership. Because gun ownership tends to be such a polarizing issue, politicians and people in positions of power tend to take an extreme stance. As for the average citizen, it’s not uncommon for people who don’t own guns to have trouble understanding why someone else feels the need to own them. This isn’t restricted only to guns owned for self-defense purposes, either. Hunters are frequently misunderstood by those who don’t hunt.
