The survey also reveals the emerging habits and attitudes for young gun owners after the last decade of rapid growth in gun sales and in the number of concealed carry permits. The findings are explored in "Young Guns," a Newsy special report that flips the narrative about younger Americans and guns by examining changes in the gun industry and its consumers — from an increasing interest in self-defense to a growing online community of gun-focused video channels. The special report debuted on Monday night during Newsy’s evening newscast, "The Why," and is now available on most streaming platforms. The Newsy/Ipsos poll also finds: While both younger and older gun owners see the National Rifle Association (NRA) […]
