      Depends on who is holding it.

      Turns out, while those supporting fascism embraced gun ownership, those who oppose it apparently decided sometime after 1945 that fascism will succumb to wishes and hope, so that may play a role in the discrepancy you’re witinessing.

        It seems the people who get guns as a prop for their power fantasy are also those who are attracted to fascism. But at least there are a lot of gun owners in the US whose personality doesn’t revolve around guns, those who see weapons as a tool.
