If someone has trouble feeding their familiy and putting a roof over their head, guns really don't mean a thing.
In our county the cost of a home is approaching 300k on the low end.
Tag that with home insurance premiums and taxes that add 7 or 8k a year along with getting health care.
Then after all that, lets put food on the table.
Retire on a small pension or SS and try to afford health care and medication, then eat.
Those issues are what drives people, not guns.
After spending year after year, month after month at the local gun show, those are the concerns of the overwhelming majority of gun owners. Even the NRA lifers.
There are much more issues than just guns.
