The findings bolstered what many observers had anecdotally discovered, the last year-and-a-half\u2019s pandemic and civil unrest-fueled record-breaking gun sales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Provided with the preliminary survey results, the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/women-are-nearly-half-of-new-gun-buyers-study-finds-11631792761\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"harvard-researcher-about-half-of-new-gun-owners-are-women\" title=\"Harvard Researcher: About Half of New Gun Owners are Women\">Wall Street Journal<\/a>&nbsp;reported,&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p><em>the 2021 National Firearms Survey, designed by Deborah Azrael of the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health and Matthew Miller of Northeastern University, show an estimated 3.5 million women became new gun owners from January 2019 through April of this year. About 4 million men became new gun owners over that period, they found.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, the study suggests that 46.6% of new gun owners since January 2019 were women.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The news is of particular interest to those who understand the Second Amendment&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dpvintageposters.com\/posters\/war-citizenship-public-causes\/citizenship-and-public-causes\/nra-anti-gun-control-poster-bill-clinton-duck_10198\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"harvard-researcher-about-half-of-new-gun-owners-are-women\" title=\"Harvard Researcher: About Half of New Gun Owners are Women\">isn\u2019t about duck hunting<\/a>.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pewresearch.org\/fact-tank\/2017\/06\/29\/how-male-and-female-gun-owners-in-the-u-s-compare\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"harvard-researcher-about-half-of-new-gun-owners-are-women\" title=\"Harvard Researcher: About Half of New Gun Owners are Women\">Pew Research Center data<\/a>&nbsp;suggests that women are more likely than men to cite self-defense as their reason for purchasing a firearm. In 2017, Pew reported,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p><em>Male and female gun owners are about equally likely to cite protection as a reason why they own guns: About nine-in-ten in each group say this is a reason, and 65% and 71%, respectively, say it is a\u00a0major\u00a0reason. But far larger shares of women than men who own guns say protection is the\u00a0only\u00a0reason they own a gun: About a quarter of women who own guns (27%) are in this category, compared with just 8% of men.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">SEE ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/real-avid-introduces-bore-max-speed-clean-system\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"harvard-researcher-about-half-of-new-gun-owners-are-women\" title=\"Harvard Researcher: About Half of New Gun Owners are Women\">Real Avid Introduces Bore-Max Speed Clean System<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The 2021 survey also found that new gun owners were more diverse than the general population. The Wall Street Journal noted, \u201cAmong new gun buyers, 55% were white, 21% were Black and 19% were Hispanic. Among new women gun owners, 28% were Black.\u201d For context, Census data places the U.S. demographic breakdown at 13.4% Black and 18.5% Hispanic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The survey findings won\u2019t come as a surprise to those who have been paying attention. Starting in the earliest days of the pandemic, there were&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nraila.org\/articles\/20200320\/pandemic-engenders-appreciation-for-second-amendment-rights\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"harvard-researcher-about-half-of-new-gun-owners-are-women\" title=\"Harvard Researcher: About Half of New Gun Owners are Women\">media reports throughout the country<\/a>&nbsp;noting a diverse deluge of first-time gun buyers showing up at gun dealers. Moreover, surveys of these dealers showed a similar situation unfolding. In February,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nssf.org\/articles\/gun-sales-reach-record-highs-in-2020-especially-among-african-americans-and-first-time-gun-buyers\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"harvard-researcher-about-half-of-new-gun-owners-are-women\" title=\"Harvard Researcher: About Half of New Gun Owners are Women\">NSSF noted<\/a>, \u201csales among women accounted for 40 percent of all sales, and purchases by African Americans increased by 56 percent compared to 2019.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Azrael and Miller\u2019s findings are even more notable given the anti-gun movement\u2019s recent\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/davidhogg111\/status\/1221645982187823110?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"harvard-researcher-about-half-of-new-gun-owners-are-women\" title=\"Harvard Researcher: About Half of New Gun Owners are Women\">attempts to leverage<\/a>\u00a0the current identity politics mood in pursuit of their civilian disarmament agenda. The recent survey data is strong evidence that the public is ignoring these political opportunists, understanding that the Second Amendment right is for all Americans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2
