在2019冠状病毒病大流行的第一年，美国的枪支购买和枪支暴力大幅增加。我们使用了一项美国全国在线调查（N = 1036）来研究2020年3月至2021年10月期间购买枪支的人（N = 103）的特征，并将他们与非枪支拥有者（N = 763）和拥有枪支但在COVID-19大流行期间没有购买枪支的人（N = 170）进行了比较。与非枪支拥有者相比，流行病枪支购买者更年轻，更有可能是男性，白人，并且与共和党有联系。与非枪支拥有者和流行病前枪支拥有者相比，流行病枪支购买者在政治（QAnon信仰、支持枪支的态度、基督教民族主义、对前总统唐纳德·特朗普的支持、反疫苗信仰、COVID-19怀疑主义；平均科恩d = 1.15）、行为（亲密伴侣暴力、反社会行为；平均d = 1.38）、心理健康(自杀、抑郁、焦虑、药物使用；平均d = 1.21)和个性特征（对权力的渴望、对危险世界的信念、低亲和力、低责任心；平均d = 0.95）。相比之下，大流行前的拥枪者只支持更亲枪的态度（d = 0.67），对乔·拜登（Joe Biden）总统的支持率较低（d = -0.41），而且与非拥枪者相比，更有可能是男性，更倾向于共和党。就政治和心理特征而言，流行病枪支购买者是一个极端群体，包括暴力和自残的几个风险因素。
There was a large spike in gun purchases and gun violence during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States. We used an online U.S. national survey (N = 1036) to examine the characteristics of people who purchased a gun between March 2020 and October 2021 (n = 103) and compared them to non-gun owners (n = 763) and people who own a gun but did not purchase a gun during the COVID-19 pandemic (n = 170). Compared to non-gun owners, pandemic gun buyers were younger and more likely to be male, White race, and to affiliate with the Republican party. Compared to non-gun owners and pre-pandemic gun owners, pandemic gun buyers exhibited extreme elevations on a constellation of political (QAnon beliefs, pro-gun attitudes, Christian Nationalism, approval of former President Donald Trump, anti-vax beliefs, COVID-19 skepticism; mean Cohen’s d = 1.15), behavioral (intimate partner violence, antisocial behavior; mean d = 1.38), mental health (suicidality, depression, anxiety, substance use; mean d = 1.21), and personality (desire for power, belief in a dangerous world, low agreeableness, low conscientiousness; mean d = 0.95) characteristics. In contrast, pre-pandemic gun owners only endorsed more pro-gun attitudes (d = 0.67), lower approval of President Joe Biden (d = -0.41) and were more likely to be male and affiliate with the Republican party relative to non-gun owners. Pandemic gun buyers represent an extreme group in terms of political and psychological characteristics including several risk-factors for violence and self-harm.
