Oh for sure, I work in agriculture and deal with a lot of Americans and some truly have a distrust of government. Part of the reason gun culture is so entrenched I think. I mostly talk to Republicans and I am not sure what Trump would need to do make them switch over to Democrats.
I will never forget when I was talking to a guy who was worth millions and said he owns guns so he can fight back when the government comes for him. That idea is the fringe in Canada but not uncommon in the US.
