NSSF studies first time gun buyers

[HeadHunter]

Interesting study by the NSSF.

Home defense, at 87.3 percent, was listed as the highest ranking reason for a gun purchase. The second most common motivation was self-defense, presumably outside the home, at 76.5 percent. Women purchasers were mostly motivated by those themes of personal protection. The desire to share shooting sports activities with family and friends was also listed as a reason by a large number of respondents at 73.2 percent.

Just joined the NRA. When I got my first packet in the mail, a survey for why I purchased my firearm was included.

I was *this* close to putting Other: "overthrowing a tyrannical government."

Would have been funny
