5% of those gun owners identify as conservative, while only 15% identify as liberal.

What about the other 40%?

although my gut says the conservatives are more likely to own multiple guns

If they only have 2 arms then having multiple weapons is less impressive - they can only fire one at a time.

The other 40% are independents. Difficult to say which way they lean, but we'd need almost all of them to oppose the regime to stop being the minority. I assume you're being tongue and cheek about the, "two arms," thing, but in case you're not, having multiple guns would make it easier to arm friends/family who share their ideology and create a paramilitary force (although, right now, if you wanted to join a right-wing paramilitary force to enact violence against your perceived liberal enemies, you could just join ICE).
