The rise in gun ownership in the U.S. is attributed to a growing fear of crime and disorder, reflecting a failure of the political class to provide personal security. Concerns about safety, fear, crime, and lax policing are highlighted as social problems. The NRA views the increase in gun ownership as a rational response to the perceived increased likelihood of becoming a victim of crime. The Biden DOJ's proposed gun law blueprint is anticipated to impact the ability to defend oneself, according to gun rights groups.

This gun ownership rise is a rational response from any citizen who sees the likelihood of them being a victim of crime has increased exponentially. To ANY American who wants gun training, NRA's 125,000 instructors stand ready to help. @JBickertonUK➡️ https://t.co/n8KtLMiDIq https://t.co/8ubRWfCtN1 https://t.co/DYhc71OgoI
The spike in gun ownership points to a society growing more and more fearful of crime and disorder. Which in turn speaks of a political class that has failed to provide the most important thing a government can give its citizens: personal security. https://t.co/BqqdCLaYCB
This is a thought-provoking piece on growing gun ownership over at Discourse Magazine. Might be worth doing a podcast with the author on this topic. https://t.co/F7okpxFwgl
