The article claims that "polling data shows a stark political shift in American firearm trends" and uses data from Gallup. Although I don't think the data is necessarily inaccurate, I do think that the use of percentages instead of numbers of people is a bit misleading (1% of Republican women may be very different than 1% of Democratic men; these groups may have changed in number since 2007-2012).
