We surpassed 80 million firearm owners in the United States in 1990s. There are 34 million brand-new first-time gun buyers just since the COVID 19 lockdowns alone. And stats show there likely 120 million eligible adult US citizens in 52% of US households (NBC Poll) who now own firearms. take a look below.

• 340,000,000 People in the US
• 58,000,000 Non-Citizens
• 52,000,000 School Aged Children
• 20,000,000 Convicted Felons

This leaves 212,000,000 Eligible Adult US Citizens who get to have any kind of say, of which 120,000,000 own guns.

YOU’RE THE MINORITY, THAT’S WHY GUN CONTROL IS A DEAD ISSUE IN 46 STATES AND SCOTUS.

The average first time gun buyer is a 33yr married male living in the suburbs with 2.5 children according to NSSF survey data. They will be opposing gun control for decades to come and have energized gun rights across the country dumping nearly $1 billion dollars since 2013 into gun rights litigation through groups like FPC, NAFR, GOA, etc.

The National Shooting Sports Foundation, a national trade association in the firearms industry, says that when comparing 2019 to 2020, there was a 58.2% increase in gun purchases among Black people, a 43% increase with Asians and 49% among Latinos. The NSSF estimates that 40% of gun sales overall were for first-time gun buyers.

60 percent of high school and college students are considering owning a gun in the future (American University Poll)

One-third of young people reported growing up with a gun in the household and 36 percent reported being “very worried” about gun violence. However, nearly 40 percent of participants planned to own a gun when they have their own household, and an additional 20 percent were contemplating it. (Loyola Marymount Poll)

More people will buy their first gun this summer than the entire membership of all Gun Control groups combined nationwide.

More people attend gun shows every weekend than the largest anti-gun protests in US history.

There were already 200,000,000 guns in private hands when the federal government first started tracking gun production and serial numbers in 1968.

By 2018 the ATF reported that 430,000,000 had been sold since 1968. Add the 200,000,000 guns that were already in circulation plus the 70,000,000 home-built guns made from registered or DIY receivers/frames and you get a staggering 700,000,000 guns in 52% of US households BEFORE the 2020–2023 COVID-19 gun buying frenzy.
There will be 1,000,000,000 GUNS, 9,000,000,000 DETACHABLE MAGAZINES and 17,000,000,000,000 ROUNDS OF AMMUNITION in the hands of 150,000,000 ELIGIBLE ADULT US CITIZENS in 60% of US HOUSEHOLDS by the year 2030

For all, guns only have a .008% rate of fatal misuse annually and only .0356% of gun owners fatally misuse guns in each year and that number has been in steady decline since 2004.
