Imagine if government officials in any red state in America tried welding doors shut to keep people trapped.

They wouldn’t because people with guns can only be pushed so far. Never trust anyone that wants to take guns away from law abiding citizens.

With action this severe I don't think party allegiance would have much to do with it, unless you're purely referring to ownership statistics.

Party has nothing to do with it. If government has no fear of abusing it citizens. Eventually it will.
