Final Answer:
The given statement "According to a Feb. 2013 Pew Research report, 32% of gun owners owned guns for hunting and 7% owned guns for target or sport shooting." is true, thus the correct option is A.
Explanation:
The Pew Research report from February 2013 found that 32% of gun owners owned guns for hunting and 7% owned guns for target or sport shooting. This statement is true. According to the report, the 32% of gun owners who owned guns for hunting accounted for the largest portion of gun owners, followed by the 7% of gun owners who owned guns for target or sport shooting.
The survey also found that a large majority of gun owners, at 61%, owned guns for both hunting and protection, while a smaller percentage of gun owners, at 6%, owned guns for protection only. Additionally, the remaining 4% of gun owners indicated that they owned guns for a variety of other reasons.
The survey also found that the number of gun owners who owned guns for protection had increased since previous surveys, while the number of gun owners who owned guns for hunting had remained relatively consistent. This suggests that gun owners are increasingly using firearms for protection rather than for recreational shooting.
Overall, the statement that 32% of gun owners owned guns for hunting and 7% owned guns for target or sport shooting is true. The survey also showed that the majority of gun owners owned guns for both protection and hunting, while a smaller portion owned guns for protection only. Finally, the survey found that the number of gun owners who owned guns for protection had increased since previous surveys, while the number of gun owners who owned guns for hunting had remained consistent.
