A new Gallup poll reveals a shift in gun ownership trends in the US. Republican women are increasingly buying firearms, while Democratic men are seeing a decrease in gun ownership. This trend is offsetting the overall national rate of gun ownership, which remains around 30%. The study suggests that political beliefs may play a larger role in gun ownership decisions today.
A recent Gallup poll found more Republican women are becoming gun owners than before, while gun ownership among Democratic -leaning men declines. According to the Gallup survey published Thursday, the percentage of Republican female gun owners has increased from 19% from 2007-2012 to 33% from 2019-2024. Twenty-two percent of Republican women surveyed in 2013-2018 told Gallup they owned guns, meaning there has been a 50% increase in gun ownership among conservative women since.

Earlier in November, Fox News Digital spoke with female gun owners who reacted to the statement, calling it 'smokescreen campaign rhetoric.' 'I do not believe that she is a gun owner that practices and supports our right to protect ourselves,' Jane Milhans, a gun instructor, said.
When Kamala Harris started talking about owning a Glock, I felt nothing,' Amara Barnes, founder of the Women Gun Owners Association of America, told Fox News Digital. 'We all realize that it's pandering and virtue signaling to the right, and she's hoping that we're too dumb not to realize that she is completely anti-gun.' Fox News Digital's Hannah Ray Lambert contributed to this report.
