    That has been changing. We’re not buying them as fast but we’re buying them.

      Do you have a source for that? I’ve been digging around some looking for information but other than the national exit polls (which removed the question more than a decade ago I guess?) I can’t find any credible studies on it. It would be reassuring (well, kind of…) were you right, but anecdotal evidence and all that

        I don’t have a source, just personal experience. We’ve started a shooting club for fun. When we started it in 2019 it was 5 of us like minded folks. We now have many members, club purchased land with ranges, and 3 of the members opened their own gun store.

          I mean, that sounds awesome! Wish there was something like it in my area. It’s an inherent sampling bias to reference a liberal gun club for gun ownership rates among liberals, but that’s really cool you guys are getting so much community engagement!
