Firearm Ownership Grows!

Interesting! I think they're still skewing the numbers of total firearm owners because they'd hate to admit the shear numbers exercising their 2A Right... But it's interesting nonetheless...

Number of new gun owners since 2020 election surged to equal population of Florida: report

A recent report said that the number of new gun owners since the 2020 election reportedly equals 22.3 million people, or the population of Florida.

Says 22.3M gun owners... HA !!. Gov says around 7M "new cummers" have crossed the border. Both lies. Anyone with even a speck of gray matter between their ears know better. Fuk'n liars. Crime is down and the economy is good too

I’d love to know where these estimates come from. Remember the 22.3 million figure is new gun owners in the last 4 years.

If these numbers are right and they continue, the left will have to come up with a different plan than to try some confiscation BS.

Maybe but it depends on What guns people are buying and want. My dad for years was against AR’s in civilian hands until you were going to have to be permitted to have one here in NYS. He then jumped to buy one and loves it.

This is worse than a sienna poll. Its completely made up numbers with zero basis for fact.

A survey is sent to NSSF dealers with the following questions
"In your opinion, what percent of your customers in the first four months were first-time gun buyers?"
"What kind of firearms did first time buyers purchase?"
"In your opinion, what percent of all the first-time gun buyers were female?"
"What percent of the first-time gun buyers had already taken some form of firearm safety training course?"
"What percent of first-time gun buyers asked for information about taking a firearm safety training course?"

So, All of these numbers are completely made up.
The survey has to be competed by a NSSF dealer only, other dealers are not asked to participate.. What percentage of shops are NSSF members? Is there equal representation in all states and rural and urban areas for NSSF shops? What percentage of shops even completed a survey, and how many surveys in total were even completed? All the numbers generated are based on feeling and opinion based on trends of the last 4 months. Who thought this was a good metric to use?

I wonder if the gun stats include kochsmoker Tim's A400 purchase when he bought it on the way to his staged pheasant hunt?

Well that was a guess at the number back in June 2024. Since then we have had 3 assassination attempts on a presidential candidate, one coup'etat of a sitting president and one un-elected installed candidate in a process that was anything but democratic. I'd say it's higher now.
