I wonder if that wasn't a reflection of the author's bias more than it is an accurate description of reality.
Completely agree, but in the article I interpreted this assumption in a different manner. Rather the article was calling out the traditional Democrats for "being for the average working man" when it comes to free speech, unions, etc., but when it comes to the guns that those exact same people love, they look down their noses at them and assume everyone should "afford" the pleasantries of security.
