Likewise, the survey found that support for more restrictions on firearms has fallen from 64 percent just a year ago to 52 percent today. <\/p>\n<p>The survey complements separate polling recently commissioned by the National Shooting Sports Foundation among likely voters in 18 key battleground states that found 57 percent of respondents believed a ban on semi-automatic sporting rifles such as AR-15s would not be effective on reducing crime. Likewise, a survey by the NSSF of firearms retailers found as much as 40 percent of recent purchases have been to first-time buyers.<\/p>\n<p>In all, the trade group believes that more than 2.5 million new gun owners have been added to in a very short period of time.  <\/p>\n<p>With so many Americans taking time to exercise their newly embraced right to keep and bear arms, NSSF is encouraging all gun owners to use its #GUNVOTE online resource to register to vote and receive election updates and candidate information in order to be more educated about the Second Amendment positions of political candidates.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Read the entire article here: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.guns.com\/news\/survey-27-of-households-with-guns-recently-bought-one\">Guns.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>S&amp;W Model 39 Straight to the Archives, DWs&amp;Ws.
