One in five US households bought a gun from March 2020 to March 2022, according to NORC at the University of Chicago, a nonpartisan research institution. One in 20 Americans purchased a gun for the first time during that period.
“I’m not sure the chaos is over, and I feel that a lot of people have guns and that it would be good to have,” said Shelby, echoing many Americans anxious about the uncertain state of the country. “I’m a single female. I live on my own. Why not protect myself?”
In fact, gun ownership rates among women and African Americans were rising before the health crisis, said Dr. Matt Miller, a professor of health sciences and epidemiology at Northeastern University who conducted a study with Harvard researcher Deborah Azrael.
“Sometime between 2016 and 2019, the new gun owners were more likely to be female and Black than prior to that and, whether it’s in response to feeling as though things are going out of control, the country is really divided, that’s a tempting speculation to make,” said Miller, referring to changing demographics among gun owners.
The Northeastern and Harvard study found that nearly 3% of US adults, or 7.5 million people, bought guns for the first time from January 2019 to April 2021. About half of the new gun owners were female, 20% were Black, and 20% were Hispanic. Overall, gun owners were 63% male and 73% White.
“The face of gun ownership is changing somewhat and the people who are becoming new gun owners today are less likely to be male and more likely to be non-White, more likely to be somewhat younger than existing and long-standing gun owners,” Miller said. …
At Marinello’s gun shop and shooting range in Islip, Shelby and Jenn wrapped up their afternoon target practice. A friend and gun enthusiast served as their instructor.
“I have a Ruger and a Rossi – both rifles,” Shelby said. She bought her rifles during the pandemic at the recommendation of a family member.
Shelby said she’s filling out the paperwork for her handgun permit. She said the entire process could take from a year and a half to two years before she’s able to purchase a handgun.
“All of my friends now have licenses,” said Shelby, bursts of muffled gunfire in the background. “I’d like to hone my skills. I enjoy shooting. I’m a good shot.”
Her friend Jenn said she lives alone, so she wants a gun “probably for safety mostly, but I do enjoy coming to the range and shooting. I’ve been wanting to buy one for years.”
Jenn said she has sampled a number of handguns at the range. She liked a Smith & Wesson 9 mm but is still undecided.
“I just shot a few just now,” she said. “So trying to find a good feel, to figure out which one I do want to buy.”
She added, “I’m trying to be responsible… It’s actually good to be uncomfortable with a gun. If you’re ever comfortable with a gun, that’s not good.”

“Shelby said she’s filling out the paperwork for her handgun permit. She said the entire process could take from a year and a half to two years before she’s able to purchase a handgun.”
Wow. I feel real bad for you guys caught behind the enemy lines. Does it take a year and a half to get a long gun? Or is this for both handgun and long guns?
Yep, I was going to post that quote and just leave the comment, ‘F#@&ing Illinois.’ You’d think that would raise even CNN’s eyebrows just a bit.
Illinois? There’s no mention of that. It says Islip, so that’s likely NY.
I’m here in Illannoy. Don’t know of any rules or regs that would make it take a year and a half to get a gun.
If it’s NYS something is wrong. By statute, NYS has 6 months to process pistol permit apps. After that, they are required to issue or provide in writing why they are denying you.
Islip is down NY City way (shudder) so maybe there are local laws that are even more unconstitutional than statewide? If not, she should make inquiries.
It’s called a FOID card Gipper. Folks took up to 20 months to get one during the scamdemic. NY is even worse. Good to see my moniker for ILLannoy get popular. BLM riot’s motivated many to get gats🙄
Ah. I was thinking there was an Islip in the greater Chicago area and the study came from the University of Chicago and Northwestern so I jumped to the conclusion. But you are correct, if there is an Islip, IL then google maps doesn’t know about it. So, F#@&ing New York!
Islip is in Sufffolk county New York according to: https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&q=where+is+Islip
to napresto: lots of anti-gun places are playing games with wording in the law – they have 45 days, 90 days, 6 months, whatever after receiving a “completed” application. But some will only accept applications on certain hours of certain days, in person, during covid shutdown… or they keep adding more and more requirements (mental health check, references, proof of a specific training class that has limited access, fingerprint appointments, etc) – the state isn’t breaking the law… they’re just making you follow it the way they want. Also, VERY few state groups have any penalties for poor performance – if they are required to do something within 45 days… what part of the law penalizes them for failure? none. You have to sue, personally – and then they fast track YOUR application to have your case dismissed because you don’t have a claim anymore. The other 9000 people who haven’t sued yet just get to wait.
When the NRA convention came to Nashville I met two great guys from New York State. We had a wonderful conversation and exchanged permit cards. We were both surprised. Kentucky doesn’t require you to list all your guns. But New York State does. And they had so many guns that they carried three cards printed to just list them all.
It’s just astonishing having these laws in New York and these other slave states.
So if a cop in NY asks you to see your carry permit. It will show them all the guns that you own in the state. Wow.
Only pistols. Long guns don’t appear on the permit. Also, unfun fact, but you and ONLY you are allowed to touch those guns. No sharing at the range, no teaching a friend to shoot pistols, etc. Doesn’t even matter if both of you gave permits. Glad I left.
“A right delayed is a right denied”…..MLK
Of coarse MLK is on a fast track to being excommunicated from the Left.
He uttered that heresy about “content of character” and todays Lefty is all about using the color of someone’s skin to decide if they get into college or a job.
You know that the left usurped him, right? He was a Republican and a supporter of gun rights who was denied multiple times for a carry permit despite the multiple threats on his life.
Rumor was he was going to announce he was going to run for president!!
If true, this would put a different spin on his assassination, by the “ESTABLISHMENT”!!!!
Most of NY can get a basic premise permit done in around 6-9 months and a concealed carry permit (extra few months mostly figuring out the retarded class) or semi auto rifle permit as quick as the clerk and/or judge can rubber stamp it to your existing pistol permit. NYC and Long Island area …………can be special.
“I feel real bad for you guys caught behind the enemy lines.”
Do not pity them. They chose this. Pain is an outstanding teacher (unless you’re a democrap).
I escaped 2 years ago. It was completely worth it.
Pre Bruen you had a point, now the front lines have shifted and you may want to reevaluate your assumptions.
Many of us have been behind enemy lines all of our lives. Our whole world is here and we should not be forced to move(or have others even suggest that). This is where we have lived all of our lives and those that want us to leave need to just stfu.
Support me in what I have grown accustomed and help us push back the haters and those that want us to change our ways.
Here in CA, the Dems in Sacramento have introduced SB452, which seeks to prohibit nearly all semi-auto handguns. There’s the common back-and-forth format of negotiations where both sides start at certain points they know they won’t achieve, but expect to give up a little here and there until they reach an agreement somewhere in the middle.
The Dems here know they hold a supermajority at not only the State level, but most metro levels as well, so they toss insane gun control measures on the wall knowing most of it will stick and pass by vote.

BTW, The Gateway Pundit has just released breaking news that Tucker Carlson is no longer with Fox News. Details to come…
The Leftist Scum ™ rag the Washington Post is reporting the firing had to do with the near 1 billion dollar Dominion lawsuit Fox got clobbered on.
It’ll be interesting to see where he’ll pop back up at.
Maybe Beck’s ‘The Blaze’?
EDIT –
The Guardian is reporting this :
“Carlson fired on Murdoch’s orders over discrimination suit: report
Fox chairman Rupert Murdoch ordered Tucker Carlson’s firing over a discrimination lawsuit filed by a former producer on his show, the Los Angeles Times reports.”

The UK ‘Guardian’ is also reporting CNN fired the known-racist Don Lemon… 🙂
No one gets forced into freedom. It’s something you have to choose.
The stupidity of living in one of the unfree states reaches its apex with the 10 round magazine, the brain child of Bill Ruger and used to horrific result by the Parkland High mutant. The mutant pointed out (according to a MSM story, so this may have been made up) that it made it easier to carry his rifle loaded in a small duffle bag and reloads are easy when there is no interference from school resource officers or police.
RE: “She added, “I’m trying to be responsible… It’s actually good to be uncomfortable with a gun. If you’re ever comfortable with a gun, that’s not good.”
Interpretation…A firearm is a serious tool similar to a cutting torch, etc…What exists the business end means business.
A new gun owner who is uncomfortable with guns is most likely, going to turn out to be a very bad gun owner. Because they will be so uncomfortable with their gun, they will probably miss if they use it. And hit an innocent person instead. Or when threatened, they will be incapable of mustering the courage, to use it to defend themselves.
It’s training and practice that builds confidence, in using your gun if you ever need to.
Initial over caution is not really bad in that it will create motivation to learn more re how the firearm functions and when/how you can legally use it. With that said if it goes on too long yeah your initial statement applies.
Building confidence includes the realization one can never be “comfortable” with a firearm even if it is unloaded…Like she said being comfortable with a firearm is not good. When it comes to firearms, Not good is the next in line after comfortable…not before.
I just hope that new gun owners are choosing the better YouTube channels to learn about guns. Hopefully they are following the comments of some of the old time gun owners. Who follow people like “Hickok45”, “Sootch00”, “22 Plinkster” or those that want the long form information videos “Nutfancy”.
And of course the “Lucky Gunner” videos. Which are probably some of the best short form gun videos on YouTube. There are other good channels out there. But those came to my mind first.
Those of us who have guns and who study guns, we know what the best sources on the internet are to go to. And that’s why I think it’s better, if the new folks go to a professional for face-to-face instruction. Instead of taking a chance on the internet.
If they’re not going to train, then it would be better for them to have a revolver. Because they might and probably will panic, when their semi-auto, “goes click when they expected to hear a bang”.
If they don’t plan on getting face-to-face instruction. Then they really shouldn’t buy a gun at all. But if they are going to get one, and not seek out instruction. Then they should buy a revolver. It’s simple.
And a semi-auto handgun is a complicated piece of machinery. Compared to revolver.
See the “Gun Sam Revolver Aficionado” YT channel for assistance.
Ok Deb you go your route there I go with discipline confers confidence with competence.
Chris…Like she said, “If you’re ever comfortable with a gun, that’s not good.”
When it comes to Building Confidence one must understand Not good arrives after becoming comfortable with firearms, not before.
I think one of the long-term goals of the anti-civil rights gun grabbers, is to reinforce this uncomfortableness, about guns especially to new people. That’s the real reason why they are against any form of training.
And it’s why they are against teaching children about guns. They are the original “Childless liberals” telling you, what you can or cannot, introduce to your own children.
They claim it takes a village to raise a child. And that is their perverted version of it.
When in the past, it was the village that taught every child about weapons safety. And how to be accurate using one. Reinforced by having Marksmanship competitions. That is why they are against having shooting teams in schools.
But they sure do want kids to learn about or@l and @n@l. And at as young an age as they can possibly get away with.
“A new gun owner who is uncomfortable with guns is most likely, going to turn out to be a very bad gun owner.”
“Can You Be TOO Comfortable Around Guns?
ByJohn Caile |11/11/2016
The tragic death just last week of Sergeant Rod Lucas, a 20-year veteran of the Fresno County Sheriff’s Department, was notable for one very unusual reason: He was not murdered by a suspect. He was shot and killed by a law enforcement colleague.
According to news reports, “Sergeant Rod Lucas was having a conversation with a 9-year veteran detective about the various ways to carry their backup weapons when the shot was fired.” In other words, an unintentional discharge, with the most horrific result.
Fresno County Sheriff Margaret Mims said that there were two other colleagues in the room at the time of the shooting and stated categorically that “there was no dispute of any kind, just a conversation about gun safety.”
So basic firearm safety rules were neglected by “professionals” lacking discipline ……….yeah happens what of it?
MINOR MIner49er, that is a gross overstatement. Sure there are some people who are unsafe with firearms. Bu then again there are people who are unsafe with hammers, screwdrivers, saws, hedge trimmers, etc., not to mention automobiles. So you seem to think that we should ban all of these items because some people are “unsafe”?
Considering your own rhetoric, you should be banned from writing.
“A new gun owner who is uncomfortable with guns is most likely, going to turn out to be a very bad gun owner.”
Far more likely, an armed woman will use that gun to defend her children.
She’ll go full mamma-bear on their ass.
(And maybe a little Sheriff Grady “Because they ran out of bullets” Judd, when asked why the suspect was shot dozens of times… 🙂 )
“Shelby said she’s filling out the paperwork for her handgun permit. She said the entire process could take from a year and a half to two years before she’s able to purchase a handgun.” WOW, just WOW. This is the penalty for voting for Democrats, wait till they require you a permit to grow your own food, how long could that take? Meanwhile, I moved to Texas 7 years ago from a blue state where it was almost impossible to obtain a carry permit, 9 days from start to the Texas LTC arriving in the mailbox…
I look at the diversity among the people at my range. We have people from a wide range of occupations and backgrounds. And everyone gets along because we enjoy our sport and helping each other.
One turned up a few weeks ago in a reproduction Nationalist Chinese uniform. My friends and I gave him a thumbs up. I actually had to explain the uniform to other members who also agreed. He turned up the other day with a Bulgarian Mosin-Nagant carbine. I wished him the best of luck because he will need it.
Reproduction Nationalist Chinese Uniform?
The idea that there might actually be uniforms for something like that is in itself a bit disturbing. A reproduction nationalist American uniform? What does that even mean?
Not sure what’s disturbing about it. Clearly someone with an interest in supporting Taiwan’s interests in the face of aggression by Red China.
A viewpoint has a uniform. That’s like smelling colors.
Nationalism does NOT mean aggression. It in itself has NOTHING to do with racism. That is one of the many lies of the left.
masks and hoods don’t have a viewpoint?
dancing about architecture.
Not disturbing – historical; as is the Bulgarian Mosin-Nagant carbine (which is a niiiice rifle. The Chinese Nationalist party held power in China until 1949 until Mao Zedong and his armies defeated them and the Nationalists fled to Taiwan in 1949. I don’t think the person would’ve gotten a thumb’s up at the range wearing a Chinese PRC uniform…
Nazi Germany is part of history too but that doesn’t mean it isn’t disturbing.
I think it means the uniform of the Republic of China (which is now based in Taiwan) from the time of the Chinese Civil War.
THAT makes more sense.
Exactly.
Nothing at all wrong with nationalism in and of itself same as globalism. Its more in how it gets applied, twisted, and lied about that is the concern in either case. The last part especially in mass media programming.
There are groups who like to dress in military uniforms and play act.
Civil War reenactments and such.
For our Veteran’s day parade there are a few young men who dress up in WWII reproduction uniforms to honor their ancestors.
I dress in uniforms I wore when in the Marine Corps and march in the Veteran’s Day parade. I wear them to honor all those who didn’t make it home.
Simper Fi
Washington sets the national mood for the country. It always has. Our media (CNN being part of that) contributes to the insanity that DC has descended into. People feel like the nation has gone crazy because that is exactly what Washington did. Having a president with dementia and a Democrat party off the rails and off the deep end has made the entire world look at the US deciding that we have lost it. Every vote that went to Biden was (and is) one to support the self destruction of not just our identity but existence as a world power.
More people are arming themselves as a direct result of the lunacy of Democrats and the media helping to perpetuate it. The American population can sense it even if they don’t fully realize the implications.
The left can blame Trump all they want but it’s THEIR own doing that increases the number of gun owners and the crime that spurs it on. Part of this problem includes that fact that there are so very few on the republican side that actually wants to stop the craziness and get back to normal. Too many are afraid they will be labeled as racist. Even though it isn’t.
“Part of this problem includes that fact that there are so very few on the republican side that actually wants to stop the craziness and get back to normal“
Your observation is correct, the Republicans know they must pander to the crazies or they will lose supporters.
It’s the same with Fox ‘News’, in private they acknowledged that all the election ‘Big Steal’ claims were bullshit, but they also recognized that if they spoke that truth their base of crazy viewers would evaporate. Like snowflakes in the sunlight.

Liar49er — as usual, you took Prndll’s word “craziness” out of context, just to post a non sequitur.
It’s weak sauce to lie about a post and its meaning so that you can go off on your own little rant. But you do you. It’s what we’ve come to expect and why no one takes your discussions seriously.
“It’s weak sauce to lie about a post and its meaning“
Specifically how did I lie about the post?
He stated:
“there are so very few on the republican side that actually wants to stop the craziness“
He’s indicating that most on the Republican side don’t want to stop the craziness.
By definition, those who engage in ‘craziness’ are ‘crazy’.
Crazy like Italian space satellites, crazy like Jewish space lasers, crazy like Venezuelan algorithms from Hugo Chavez, crazy like headless ghost election experts.
“Specifically how did I lie about the post?”
Prndll: “Washington sets the national mood for the country. It always has. Our media (CNN being part of that) contributes to the insanity that DC has descended into. People feel like the nation has gone crazy because that is exactly what Washington did. Having a president with dementia and a Democrat party off the rails and off the deep end has made the entire world look at the US deciding that we have lost it.”
Liar49er: “Your observation is correct, the Republicans know they must pander to the crazies or they will lose supporters.”
Prndll specifically connected the “craziness” to the Donks — NOT the Repubs.
“By definition, those who engage in ‘craziness’ are ‘crazy’.”
Prndll is discouraged by the R’s because they don’t want to stop the craziness of the crazy Donks. Pandering to crazy Donks won’t help the R’s.
What say you, members of the TTAG jury?
Interesting, you omit his text I cited:
“Part of this problem includes that fact that there are so very few on the republican side that actually wants to stop the craziness and get back to normal“
Pertinent part:
“very few on the republican side that actually wants to stop the craziness and get back to normal“
That has nothing to do with the Democrats, he’s discussing the Republican’s reluctance to “stop the craziness and get back to normal”
With that I agree, mistRepublicans are incapable of stopping their craziness and getting back to normal, they’ve fallen too far down the rabbit hole and have become victims of their own delusions.
You’d think a group of cyber Ninjas could find the bamboo ballots…
And who created the craziness? The Donks. So why are the Repubs held solely responsible for stopping the Donk craziness?
“With that I agree, mistRepublicans are incapable of stopping their craziness …”
Once again — whose craziness? The Donks. They own it, totally and completely. Holding the House isn’t enough for the R’s to stop all the craziness created by the Donks.
And as Prndll stated, there seem to be many R’s that don’t want to stop the Donk craziness — reaching across the aisle, going along to get along. Lindsey Graham’s agreement to vote to help the Donks replace Dianne Feinstein is a good example. Feinstein is another symptom of the Donk craziness — like the Gropenfuehrer, she is mentally unable to perform her duties and should resign from the Senate.
Keep spinnin’, Liar49er. You were caught lying and you can’t weasel your way out.
But Rep are not pandering to your/your ilk of crazy are they? Boohoo snowflake.
I am not happy with the Republican Party as a political group. But there are certain people that have proven their worth.
The Democrats actively do everything they can to destroy this country. Republicans spend most of their time letting them.
So, Prndll, you might say that the Donks have gone plum crazy?
Oh, and … Liar49er — any more questions?
“Every vote that went to Biden was (and is) one to support the self destruction of not just our identity but existence as a world power.”
Couple of reasons that come to mind. Some were afraid of four more years of the deep state being further exposed. Some are truly rooting for the NWO. Some hated Trump so much they were blinded to the fact (or just didn’t care) that Biden is a brain dead dementia addled grifter that would further divide our nation and push us to the brink of WWIII.

Yes, and they just fired Don Lemon…

“CNN Discovers, to its Horror,“
So exactly where in the article above does CNN express their “Horror”?
CNN didn’t express it, but they do feel it.
“CNN didn’t express it”
Thanks for confirming that the headline is bullshit, more ‘Astroturf’ posts attempting to gin-up outrage.
“but they do feel it“
So you are in touch with CNN’s feelings, fascinating. Do you have some sort of emotional connection?
The C ommunist N ews N etwork has just announced that Don Lemon-head has been fired. Another one bites the dust as Warner/Discovery continues to weed out the Liberal/Progressive sycophants. That destroyed it’s ratings and viewership numbers.
Thanks for confirming that you are devoid of critical thinking and or deductive reasoning skills.
Do you think those at CNN are happy about more people purchasing firearms or are they horrified at the thought?
No name was correct and you know it.
Liar49er, when you start your own firearms blog, you can title your articles anyway that you wish. Since you contend that this site is only so much Astroturf (an incorrect assumption), then you certainly have better places to go on the ‘net rather than argue with us bots and fake accounts.
Hie thee hither!
“CNN didn’t express it, but they do feel it.”
I usually follow links to the original articles, and read them. No comment section, as per usual, but not as per usual, it wasn’t the typical leftist mindless rant. Sure it has plenty to argue over, but tone was different with this one.
“it wasn’t the typical leftist mindless rant“
Keep talking like that and they will drum you out of the troop and break your saber across their knee.
No, that’s the wrong analogy, wait a minute…
Keep talking like that and they will fling shit at you, pull your hair and kick you out of the shrewdness.
I call ’em like I see ’em, let the chips land where they may.
You might want to be careful of the chips that Liar49er tosses around — they’re made of sh** and they really stink.
She said, “It’s actually good to be uncomfortable with a gun. If you’re ever comfortable with a gun, that’s not good.”
Um, no, that’s not how it works.
Imagine you were on an airplane, and the pilot said, “It’s actually good to be uncomfortable flying a plane. If you’re ever comfortable flying a plane, that’s not good.”
You’d want to get the hell out of that plane and find another airline whose pilots were comfortable flying planes!
If you’re uncomfortable with a gun, that means you haven’t practiced enough to be proficient with it, which means you’re going to make mistakes, and those mistakes could cost you or other people their lives! You need to practice until you’re comfortable with it and can handle it without making (potentially deadly) mistakes.
“Imagine you were on an airplane, and the pilot said, “It’s actually good to be uncomfortable flying a plane. If you’re ever comfortable flying a plane, that’s not good.””
Only a fool is “completely comfortable” flying an airplane. That can get you killed, and an expensive plane destroyed.
A heightened sense of awareness when conducting potentially lethal activities is *exactly* you want to be… 🙁
exactly where…
How about another “C” word?
I prefer that pilots and gun owners be comfortable in the operation of their equipment —
however, I do not want them to become complacent with such.
Better?
Democrats: “I bet if more black people owned guns, Republicans would want gun control”
Black people: buys guns.
Republicans “Hey man, nice gun! Wanna go to the range later?”
Black people: “Hell yeah brother!!”
Democrats: “NOOOO!!!!! You’re supposed to be racist and hate each other. If you don’t vote for more gun control, you ain’t black!!”
“Democrats: “I bet if more black people owned guns, Republicans would want gun control””
Joy Behar, to be precise :
Yep, the calendar changed again overnight. That makes it Opposite Day in leftist land, again.
The View is one of the most left-wing racist shows on TV, and watch them act as if what they say is perfectly normal and not racist. Mindless drones like most the rest of anti-gun, repeating talking points from their scripted programming then acting like their flavor of racism isn’t racism.
Do you know who their “in-studio” audience is mostly comprised of? College students, yes college students, their lackeys hand out tickets outside Pace Univ. CCNY, NYU, The Fashion Institure of Technology etc. that’s when they can’t get enough students from.the media classes to attend. Sally Jesse Raphael, Maury Povich el at and all the late-night shows do it too, Dimwit Letterdouche used to do it now his successors do it as requests for tickets have plummeted.
I had several friends over Sunday afternoon. Pretty mixed lot. Black, White, Asian, Young Old, Male, Female. Mixed lot on firearms as well. A variety of handguns and several rifles.
All of us were quite comfortable with our firearms. But, we all have a healthy respect for what firearms can do.
As for CNN and the rest of the Marxist/Progressive media and Leftist Politicians, IE. Disarmament supporters, Who gives a rats backside about their feels?
These terms are getting confused.
It does not matter if you’re a new gun owner or have been carrying to 20 years. If you’re not comfortable with your firearm then all that means is that either you need a different gun or you should own one at all.
Like any other tool in existence, the only way to get good with it is to be comfortable. Just like a chef in the kitchen.
This should never be confused with carelessness. You must always be aware of what it is, what it can do and can’t, where and when to deploy.
