Guns in the Home Statistics: The Effects of Firearms in the Home in 2024
According to recent surveys, 81% of gun owners and 57% of non-gun owners feel safer with a firearm in the home. However, there is much debate about whether this is rooted in evidence.
The two greatest concerns about whether a firearm in the home keeps people safe are unintentional shootings and domestic violence. Let’s look at some stats.
- There are at least 49 million households with firearms in the United States.
- 21 states have safe storage laws where a homeowner can be punished for having unsecured firearms in the home or if a prohibited person accesses one in the home.
- 55% of homicides where the victim dies at home are firearm-related.
- 0.002% of children who were in a home with a loaded and unsecured firearm were k----d in an accidental shooting incident in 2022.
- While femicide is a common concern for the gun control lobby, 40% of females aged 15+ were murdered by something other than a bullet in 2022.
- Of the 49 million homes in the U.S. with a firearm, only 7,492 homicide incidents were recorded in a home during 2022 (all methods).
Note: Simply possessing a firearm isn’t enough to keep one safe. The ability to use it effectively and the willingness to protect innocent lives are the determining factors.
