In 2017–2021, between 60% and 70% of firearm owners cited protection as the primary reason for ownership, compared with 48% in 2013 and only 26% in 1999. In this 2023 study, among those who said they owned a gun, 79% cited protection as the most important reason for doing so. Motivations other than protection, such as hunting and target shooting, were collapsed into one "other" category due to low numbers citing this reason. If you own a gun, what is the primary reason? Protection
