If you want to know what women want, don’t go to the movies; go to the gun store. However, American women are not waiting for a birthday or Christmas to get their hands on a firearm; they are trekking to their local gun shop and plunking down credit cards in record numbers. Can you say, “Charge it”?

It’s gratifying to see the Wall Street Journal and The Hill catching up with news sites like Liberty Nation, which noted the uptick in women purchasing handguns back in March. We also pointed out that racial diversity among gun owners is changing along gender lines, with blacks leading the charge:

“In 2020, retailers reported ‘a 95% increase in firearm sales and a 139% increase in ammunition sales over the same period in 2019.’ Guess who bought a boatload of guns and ammo? ‘The highest overall firearm sales increase comes from Black men and women who show a 58.2 percent increase in purchases during the first six months of 2020 versus the same period last year,’ wrote NSSF Director of Research and Market Development, Jim Curcuruto.”
