A recent AmmunitionToGo survey at the 2024 National Rifle Association Annual Meetings in Dallas, Texas, stirred up a big question: Should transgenders have their firearms confiscated?
Nearly 1,000 attendees weighed in, offering a peek into the diverse opinions within the NRA’s crowd.
While the NRA claims to have five million members, some board members and reports suggest the number is closer to four million.
With this figure in mind, the survey’s sample size of 986 gives it a margin of error of about 3%, according to the pollsters.
Results!
When it comes to firearm confiscation for people who’ve had gender reassignment surgery, fewer than 22% of NRA members think these individuals should lose their firearms. About 28% are still on the fence.
This means that approximately 50% of respondents firmly support 2A rights for the trans community.
Interestingly, the oldest folks in the survey showed the most support for trans-gun rights. Only 18% of those 60 and older think gender reassignment should lead to confiscation.
On the flip side, almost one outta three (29%) of 18-30-year-olds think those who’ve had gender reassignment surgery should have their guns seized.
Interesting findings!
Non-binary and trans gun rights have become a hot topic in recent years. The National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) even asked the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms for guidance on background check forms.
In response, the ATF added a “non-binary” checkbox to its Form 4473 in 2020, showing that the world is paying attention to gender diversity in firearm regulations.
AmmunitionToGo’s survey highlights the wide range of opinions within the NRA on the rights of transgender individuals. (They also asked a bunch of other compelling questions on an array of different topics: support for mental health screenings, the biggest threat to gun rights, opinions on bump stocks, etc. Read more here!)
As the debate goes on, the big question remains: Should transgenders have their firearms confiscated? What say you?

I like the balance sheet here—less leverage than peers.

Silver leverage is strong here; beta cuts both ways though.

Uranium names keep pushing higher—supply still tight into 2026.
Production mix shifting toward USA might help margins if metals stay firm.

Exploration results look promising, but permitting will be the key risk.

The cost guidance is better than expected. If they deliver, the stock could rerate.
