Number of new gun owners since 2020 election surged to equal population of Florida: report
Fox News
The National Sports Shooting Foundation reported that the number of people who became first-time gun owners since 2020 has reportedly grown to over 22.3 million people, which is equal to the population of Florida.
In a statement to Fox News Digital, Mark Oliva, the managing director of public affairs for the NSSF, attributed the surge of new owners to COVID-era lockdowns, soft-on-crime prosecutors who forced residents across the fifty-states to realize that they could not always rely on law enforcement and the Biden administration's "overbearing regulations." Sarah Rumpf-Whitten is a breaking news writer for Fox News Digital and Fox Business.
"Over the last several years, there have been a significant increase of Americans who have chosen to exercise their Second Amendment rights to keep and bear arms," Oliva said. "That’s been for several reasons, including concerns for personal safety, rising crime, the refusal of some prosecutors to not lock up criminals and the attacks by the Biden administration to diminish rights through overbearing regulations." She is a native of Massachusetts and is based in Orlando, Florida.
