It’s more with the states that are fully run by the dems and those that don’t have much “country folk” on them that are really restrictive. I actually know a lot of democrats who own guns. NH doesn’t have the restrictions we do, and their govt is actually pretty left leaning, but our state is very strict. If I got caught with a magazine that holds more than 12 rounds then they could (and would) revoke my license and could take my guns away. For me, it’s not worth the risk, so I have 2 pre-ban 30 round magazines for my AR that have clear date stamps in them. Up until last year MA also had what is called “Chief’s Discretion” which gave the Chief of Police in your city/town the right to deny you a license to carry (which is needed to possess a pistol in MA) for any reason they see fit. Thankfully someone in NYC took the city to federal court over the same rule and it was deemed unconstitutional. There used to be cities in MA where nobody was permitted a license to carry because the chief decided nobody “needed” one.
