My opinion, and just a grossly uneducated opinion at that
Maybe its a generational thing?
Let us look at it this way
Where do the most ardent, leftist, anti-2A hunters and "sportsmen" gun owners fall?
Where do the least politically active gun owners fall?
Where do the most politically active pro-2A fall?
Who is doing the buying of all things tactical and AR15s?
How often as a gun show vendor, are you seeing wood and blued steel guns sold to people other than 40+ year old men?
Who are the ones showing up the most at 2A rallies?
Daresay that after this decadeish, we may see the pendulum swing back to liberty and justice for all?
As a note; the Boomers are entering their 70s, the Gen Xs are the new boomers, the Millennials(formerly Gen Y) are the current crop of adults of age to serve politically (30s-40s), and the "Zennials"/post-millennials are the new crop of voters coming of age.. it seems to me that the group buying most of the AR15s and accessories in recent years are solidly in the Millennial group with some post-Millenials, and very few Gen Xers, perhaps as a result of video games such as Rainbow 6, Call of Duty, Modern Warfare and the like... perhaps as a result of the GWOT (2001-current) with all the small wars like Iraq, Afghanistan and Syria... perhaps because of the trend to rebel against parents/grandparents?
