Some brief googling doesn't support the assertion that there are as many liberal (Democratic) gun owners as their are conservative (Republican) gun owners:

But this is way too reductive. There's lots of gun ownership in the US across all political affiliations. Additionally, gun ownership is independent of someone's views on guns. I know people with liberal views on gun ownership who don't own guns and people with restrictive views on gun ownership who do own guns.
