7 Factors of America's Gun Culture
1. 21 million guns were sold in 2020,
a record sales of guns in the US last year. A total of 2.1 crore guns were sold, including handguns and rifles. This is 60% more than in 2019. Earlier there was a record sales of 16 million guns in 2016.

2.
America is No. 1 in the world in terms of average per 100 guns per 100 people . There are 120.5 guns for every 100 people there. This is twice as much as Yemen, the number two country.

3. 84 lakhs purchased guns
for the first time in 2020; In 2020, the number of first time gun buyers in the US increased by 40%. 84 lakh people bought guns for the first time. This is the main reason for the record sale of guns.

4. Most of the blacks
who bought guns for the first time are the majority of blacks and women who purchased guns for the first time in 2020. Guns sold more in areas where there were more attacks on blacks.
In fact, on May 25, 2020, the Minneapolis police arrested black George Floyd on charges of fraud. During this time, the police officer Derek Schaven kept his neck pressed for about 9 minutes from the knee. George died. Violent demonstrations took place in the US after a video of police brutality surfaced.

5. Walmart had withdrawn from the store when violence escalated. Guns
rose to such an extent that demand for guns last year was so high that the entire stock of guns and bullets at many stores was exhausted. After the violence escalated, Walmart removed them from its store for a few days. The company also said that it would not sell the kind of guns used by soldiers.

6. The 2016 record was broken only in September,
according to Jurgen Braver, chief economist at Small Arms Analytics, the US gun market watch firm, as of August last year, more guns had been sold over the whole of 2019. The 2016 record was broken in September itself.

7. Sales increase in the presidential election year has been
another special trend in America. The sale of guns increases when presidential elections are to be held there. More so when a Democrat candidate is likely to win. In 2016, Democrat candidate Hillary Clinton was likely to win. That year too, a record was made for the sale of guns.
Former Democrat President Barack Obama is also called a 'gun salesman', because at the time of his election the National Rifle Association donated $ 30 million to the party.
