What is needed to turn Texas, a republican stronghold, into a blue state? According to data from SurveyMonkeyJust remove all weapons from the state of a lonely star, and it would go to Hillary Clinton in 2016. You can do the same in liberal California. Remove all owners without weapons, and the state would vote for Donald Trump.
This is how the controversial problem of weapons control is in American politics.
SurveyMonkey discovered that no other demographic, and not race, religion or floor, are so perfectly divided voters. In the 2016 elections, 47 percent Trump supporters said that the control of the weapon was important enough to influence their voice. This is compared with 27 percent of voters who supported Hillary Clinton.
But what does this separation mean? How does this affect the policy of control over weapons, and how can this problem change in the light of recent mass executions, such as Las Vegas, Orlando and Newtown? To discuss the data, PBS Newshour posted a chat on Twitter at 13:00 on the eastern waist time with Dante Chinni data journalist (@Dchin), professor and chairman of political science at the University of Kansas, Don Hyder-Markel (@dhmarkel) and the correspondent of Washington post Philip BEMP (@PBUMP)
