Concealed Handguns Create a Climate of Fear, the Gun Industry’s Own Research Reveals
The National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF), the gun industry’s trade group, conducted studies revealing that rather than feeling safer, Americans report feeling less safe amid increased concealed carry practices. Their 2018 report highlighted that this sentiment spans gun owners and non-owners alike, with heightened fears especially noted among millennials and liberals. Despite this data, the NSSF continues to promote the Constitutional Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act, which threatens state regulations on concealed carry, increasing public fear and raising concerns about safety among law enforcement. Acknowledging the fear generated by the gun industry, California Senator Alex Padilla commented that it emphasizes profit over public safety, as the industry capitalizes on a culture of fear to boost firearm sales.
