Do more Americans own guns for hunting, personal protection, or target shooting?
Correct Answer
Tell Me More
A 2013 Gallup poll found that 60% of gun owners say they own guns for personal protection, 36% for hunting, 13% for recreation/sport, 8% for target shooting, and 5% to exercise their Second Amendment right. (Percentages total to more than 100 because some poll respondents named more than one reason).
