“…Many of these are well established in the scholarly literature. Over a decade ago, Legault (2008:59) characterized studies of legal gun ownership in the United States as “tedious in its agreement.” The statistically average legal gun owner is a married white man living in the rural South or West who is politically conservative, middle‐aged, and middle class (see also Legault, Hendrix, and Lizotte 2019). This was so in the 1960s (Newton and Zimring 1969), 1970s (Wright and Marston 1975), 1980s (Ellison 1991), 1990s (Cook and Ludwig 1996), and 2000s (Celinska 2007).…”

“…Proxy measures of FA based on household surveys assume that all firearm owners pose equal risks to committing criminal activities. However, firearm owners are a heterogeneous population based on the legality of firearm, reason for firearm ownership (self-protection, self-defense, or hunting) (Cook & Ludwig, 1996), and type of firearm owned (Legault & Lizotte, 2009). In addition, the majority of firearms used in criminal activities are often illegally obtained (Stolzenberg & D’Alessio, 2000).…”

“…Indeed, in his comprehensive survey of Trends in American Gun Ownership , Legault (:59) concludes that “modern information regarding legal gun ownership in the United States is relatively tedious in its agreement. Through a variety of samples, research designs, and methodologies, from simple to complex, there is a resounding consensus in scientific literature on the topic.” The statistically average gun owner is a married white man living in the rural South or West who is politically conservative, middle‐aged, and middle class (Bordua and Lizotte ; Celinska ; Cook and Ludwig ; Dixon and Lizotte ; Ellison ; Kleck ; Legault and Lizotte ; Little and Vogel ; Lizotte and Bordua ; Newton and Zimring ; O'Connor and Lizotte ; Smith and Smith ; Wright and Marston ; Wright, Rossi, and Daly ; Young, McDowall, and Loftin ).…”
