    For the right, guns are a personality trait.

    I'd bet no small part of this comes (paradoxically) from guns being such a hassle. Independent of the legal restrictions in some jurisdictions, guns are expensive, and you need to practice with them a fair amount if you plan to use them for hunting or self defense. All that sunk cost makes it easy to see how people can get personally invested.
