Voting Rights Vs Gun Rights: What’s More Important To Americans – Brilliant Maps

The
map
above
shows
some
me
interesting
data
from
an
old
survey
on
the

OkCupid
blog.

They
looked
at
the
data
from
283,859
people
who
answered
the
question
on
which
was
more
important
to
the
them
The
Right
to
Bear
Arms
(2nd
amendment)
or
The
Right
to
Vote.

The
data
is
now
somewhat
outdated
as
it
was
collected
in
2009.

Nevertheless,
it
still
seems
crazy
to
me
that
anyone
would
prioritise
the
right
to

own
a
gun
over
the
right
to
vote.

Although
I’m
sure
those
on
who
advocate
for
the
Right
to
Bear
arms
would
say
you
can’t
have
one
without
the
other.
This
despite
the
fact
I’ve
voted
in
many,
many
elections
in
two
different
countries
over
the
past
20+
years
and
have
never
owned
a
gun.
