An analysis of voting records and gun ownership from Women for Gun Rights found that 338,884 gun owners in Wisconsin, an important swing state in the upcoming 2024 Presidential election, are not currently registered to vote.

On X, Women for Gun Rights reported that over 10 million gun owners and hunters nationwide are not currently registered to vote. This includes 338,884 Wisconsin gun owners.

President Joe Biden surpassed former President Donald Trump by 20,682 votes in Wisconsin during the 2020 election, according to data from Ballotpedia.

Data on gun ownership from Statista found that gun owners are more likely to be Republicans than Democrats. The data showed that 48% of Republicans report that they own at least one gun, and 66% said they lived in a household with a gun. Responses from Democrats said only 20% reported they owned a gun and 31% said they lived in a household with a gun. 

Katie Baney, Chairman of the Board & Executive Director of the U.S. Concealed Carry Association for Saving Lives Action Fund, wrote in an op-ed for the Daily Caller that "one sizable voter bloc that can and should significantly impact the elections is law-abiding gun owners" and that "the gap between Second Amendment advocates and detractors is growing wider by the day." Baney also further wrote that the Biden-Harris administration has called for "sweeping bans" on firearms that are the most common choices for home and self-defense.
