The only thing to swing the poll would be a good number of people would say they didn't own firearms even if they did which would skew it in the other direction of MORE household, not less.
I would consider 41% to 47% or about a 15% increase in a single year pretty damn significant. The article states sales were MUCH higher, by a THIRD over the huge panic buying that happened in november 2008. If you weren't involved in firearms back then, it was a mad house of manufacturers not being able to keep up with demand, ammo shortages, prices went through the roof because of supply/demand. It was nuts.
And sales were 1/3rd higher than that. People are stocking up on firearms and tons of first time buyers realizing they just may need to protect what they have.
