    For decades, reports have been saying that more women than ever are buying guns. But a researcher who's been collecting data about gun ownership for just as long is telling a different story.pic.twitter.com/nobxJ0r3VD

        Should try math. Female population has risen by 60 million since 1980. If just rounded to 10% of females that is an increase of 6 million gun owning women.

        Ummm 10% of women is still 10% of women. Using 1980 as a baseline of 10% to 2016 still being at 10% is an index of 100. Statistically that means... no change

        They use 1980 as starting point. 10.1% then 10.8% now. Saying there is no increase in gun ownership. The percentage hasn't changed much but the whole number has.

        I get you don't understand the concept of their study or the half truth they are trying to sell. But trying to call to call basic math wrong is just sad.

        You sound like a crybaby looking for an argument. What do my guns have to with this? Since your a statistician, can you honestly say the same amount of women buy weapons in 2016 compared 1980, 1990,2000? Just because the percentage is close doesn't change the totals, right?

        It’s about comparison in composition because, for the third time, population rises naturally. It’s not about raw numbers. While you’re right about rise in women, it was natural rise to begin with. So how do you compare era vs era...? with percentage comps

        Thank you so much for this. "Record gun sales" and "Women buying more guns" are the two laziest, most factually incorrect gun stories, and yet reporters have been churning them out for decades.

        Nonsense. No one in their right mind would tell a stranger that they own or carry a gun.
