LGBTQ Gun Ownership on the Rise Amid Concerns of Political Unrest

Gun ownership among LGBTQ individuals and left-leaning groups has surged in recent months as fears of targeted violence and political oppression escalated ahead of the 2024 election, according to a report from the Philadelphia Inquirer and also covered by the New York Post. And with the pending inauguration of Donald Trump’s second term, those numbers continue to climb among some groups.

Organizations such as the Liberal Gun Club, the Socialist Rifle Association and Pink Pistols are experiencing a significant uptick in interest.
