Patient Information

This report analyzes data from a broad cohort rather than a single clinical patient, utilizing the 2024 National Firearms Survey. The survey setting encompassed the entire United States, involving 4,059 firearm owners. This probability-based national survey was conducted between December 18 and December 25, 2024. The study focused on the demographics and acquisition behaviors of adults who purchased or otherwise acquired firearms from January 1, 2021, through late 2024. The primary concern addressed is the shift in firearm ownership patterns and the resulting household exposure risks following the initial surge of the COVID-19 pandemic.
