Well, the people who are going to have the strongest feelings one way or
the other about the Confederate flag are more likely to be in the south,
where general gun ownership is higher than it is in, say, the northeast.
If you took *everyone* in the US who have very negative feelings about
the US flag and calculated the percentage who own guns, I bet it would
be smaller than the percentage of gun-owners among those who have very
negative feelings about the Confederate flag.
