In the first five months of the COVID-19 pandemic, thousands of Californians bought new guns and changed the way they stored their firearms in a bid to counter the unrest, government crackdowns and societal disintegration they feared would be unleashed by the public health emergency, a new survey has found. The UC Davis researchers who conducted the survey detected shifts in gun ownership trends that they said are likely to drive an uptick in firearm-related injuries and deaths, including suicides and the consequences of accidental discharges. By mid-July, the pandemic was cited as a factor in the purchase of an estimated 110,000 new firearms in the state, they reported. The majority of those sales, 57%, were to people who already owned at least one gun.

good. the propaganda about guns being easier to get than advil will work on less and less people.

I’m going to go out on a limb and say it had more to do with the riots than carona virus.

I was listening to Niall Ferguson on Dave Rubins podcast back in June and Dave asked him to predict the election. He said to look at peoples revealed preferences and gave new gun ownership as a metric since gun owners vote Republican overwhelmingly. He said that one fact tells him Trump will win. Now, imagine how many more guns have been bought since that comment.

I’m confused??? Do we applaud Californians? Or are they all still a buncha socialist cucks?

This cracks me up.
May want to warn the Japanes then as their practically gun free country has a suicide rate that is multiple of ours.
Suggestive like bemoaning new gun owners with "statistics" then admitting that those "statistics" aren't proven.
Anybody want to actually read what really is the first legitimate book on gun ownership and defensive uses pick up Point Blank by Dr Gary Kleck. If you want to know why you hear about 2.4 million defensive gun uses (dgu) a year and how 98% of defensive gun uses just involves producing a firearms sending the threat running, its all there.

Multiple studies have linked the density of gun-owning households in counties, states and countries to the incidence of gun-related injuries and death. People with ready access to a firearm are almost twice as likely to be killed and three times more likely to commit suicide than those without such access, according to a 2014 study in Annals of Internal Medicine.

Such findings fall short of establishing a cause-and-effect relationship between gun ownership and injury risk. But they are suggestive.

Is that supposed to be a lot

Well, it’s a start.

What percentage of that number will change their fricking voting?
That's the bigger issue here.

How many are new gun owners? That’s the scary part. These people weren’t raised to respect guns and that makes a massive difference. You can be as responsible as you want until you actually have to use it

Buy more guns! BUY MORE! MOARRRRRR!!!!
