Survey Reveals that 22% of Gun Owning Households Have Obtained a New Gun Since Riots Began

Almost a quarter of Americans who already own at least one gun have bought yet another one since the national Black Lives Matter riots and accompanying 2020 crime wave began, according to a new poll from Rasmussen released Wednesday.

43% of Americans identify themselves as members of a household in which someone owns a gun. The true percentage of Americans who live in ‘Second Amendment’ households is likely much higher, as many people aren’t inclined to reveal that they have guns at home to a telephone poll operator they don’t personally know.

54% of these Americans describe themselves as feeling more safe because someone has a gun in the house.
