    WSJ article claims half of new gun buyers are women

    Interesting, if true.

    (I found the third-from-last paragraph especially ironic.)

    WSJ non-paywalled article here:

    I would hope so. It sure seems like there's more and more female shooters on social media lately so maybe it's inspiring more women to pursue it. At least I hope it's something positive like that...

    I hit a paywall but https://thehill.com/homenews/news/57...women-research

    More women and more minorities. Fear of Covid related disruption, violent demonstrations, personal safety, change in marketing to less genderized advertisements. Pink guns didn't work but smaller guns do if easy to use.

    Implications for gun rights political action remain to be seen, IMHO. In one sense, more gun participation is good, in another, it's bad that so many people are feeling unsafe and fearing societal disruption.

    Got past the pay hill. Like the sociology professor!

    I saw that article earlier, and noted girls like room clearing as much or more than room cleaning:

    “The instructors, mostly women dressed in black tops and pants, led the group through drills like kicking in the door of a fake house and quickly firing at targets in different rooms.”
    Likes pretty much everything in every caliber.

    There's no one group who needs to carry more than women. Sure took a lot, but I'm glad some of 'em finally woke up.

    If you are fighting:
    out of your weight class,
    superior #s ,
    while damaged,
    weapons and their skilled use, particularly handguns, are a great help.
