A recent Pew Research Center study highlights significant divides in American attitudes towards gun safety, particularly regarding the responsibilities of gun owners. The report notes that nearly eight-in-ten Americans believe it’s essential for gun owners with children in the home to keep their firearms locked, while only a third of gun owners share this view, underscoring a gap in perceived safety practices.
Additionally, while 77% of gun owners under 50 have taken a gun safety course, only 63% of older owners report the same.
