Due to mass shootings and an increase in anti-Asian hate crimes, Asians and Asian Americans who were traditionally gun-averse are beginning to consider training to use firearms as a means to defend themselves. Asian Americans have reportedly been the lowest gun-owning demographic in the U.S. However, studies and data collected over the course of the pandemic have shown that racial discrimination is linked to the increase of firearm ownership among Asian Americans. In a 2021 national survey, an industry trade group showed 30% of gun retailers reported an uptick in Asian American customers.
