A typical post picks up 488 interactions against 469K followers, an engagement rate of 0.104%. Measured over 23 original posts, its engagement rate beats 71% of 20,444 tracked accounts of a similar size, which puts it in the middle of its size range rather than at either end. Posts are seen about 16K times each, and 3.10% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 3.35% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 2.4 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 33% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 00:00 UTC, and Friday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 23 posts sampled, 57% carry an image or video, 22% are part of a thread and 17% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 13K interactions, about 26x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #2a, #gfz, #gunfreezones.

Compared with accounts its own size

Gun Owners of America's engagement rate beats 71% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (20,444 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 10 of 10)). A percentile is spread evenly by construction, so 50 really is the middle of that group and 90 really is its top tenth.

On engagement per impression rather than per follower it beats 79% of the same group. When those two numbers disagree, the gap is about how far its posts travel rather than how people react to them.

At 0.104%, Gun Owners of America sits above the 25th percentile of the 204,956 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the below the median band, which runs 0.024% to 0.143%.

Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 204,956 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 22,894 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

Posting timing

This account posts most often around 00:00 UTC, and Friday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked. They do not show how this account performs at each hour: we keep one aggregate per account, not one per hour, so that measurement does not exist in our data.

Formats this account uses

Its own posting mix on the left, and what each of those formats does across every account we track on the right. Only formats where the effect clears our publish test appear here, so an empty row is a format we could not measure rather than one that does nothing.

This account's posting mix compared with catalog-wide effects
FormatThis accountCatalog effect95% intervalAccounts behind it
Image or video57% of posts+111%+108% to +115%34K

  • 57% of this account's sampled posts carry an image or video. Across the catalog, posts with an image or video run 111% above the same accounts' other posts.
  • 17% of its posts carry a link off X. Across the catalog, posts with an outbound link run 41% below the same accounts' other posts.
  • Its average post runs 279 characters, which falls in the 180 - 280 characters band. Across the catalog, posts of 180 to 280 characters match the same accounts' other posts almost exactly.

These are catalog-wide differences applied to this account's own posting mix, not a measurement of how each format performs for this account specifically. We keep one median per account, not one per format per account, so the second thing is not something this data can tell you.

    34 years ago today, federal agents used the NFA as an excuse to target Randy Weaver. Those agents killed his wife, his son, and his dog with no consequence. Every year, we remember what happened on August 21, 1992, at Ruby Ridge. We remember. We fight on. https://t.co/GP0rPuT2nA

    Repeal the Gun Free School Zones Act. It’s an abysmal failure that only disarms law-abiding citizens.

    The mass shooting at Silver Rail Elementary in Bend is another horrifying act of violence that has struck our schools. Our schools should be places of safety, dedicated to education and community. No parent should be afraid to drop their kids off at school. But too often, they are now the site of horrible sadness and atrocities. My heart is with the victims, their families, and the entire community. Members of Congress owe it to every family affected by gun violence to pass meaningful reforms so this never happens again. I will not rest until every childhood is free from the scourge of gun violence.

    Even a retired ATF official agrees that SBRs are not used by criminals and are no different from a rifle. So why did The Department of Justice argue in GOA’s NFA case that SBRs are dangerous and widely used by criminals? https://t.co/M3XwAkwweD

What is Gun Owners of America's engagement rate on X?
Gun Owners of America (@GunOwners) has an engagement rate of 0.104%, based on the median interactions across 23 original posts from the last 30 days against 468,843 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
Is that a good engagement rate?
At 0.104%, Gun Owners of America sits above the 25th percentile of the 204,956 accounts in this comparison. Those comparison accounts are all large ones, because our scanning cadence is weighted towards big accounts, so this is a ranking among peers of similar scale rather than a ranking across X.
Does @GunOwners have real engagement?
Its engagement rate beats 71% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (20,444 accounts), which puts it in the middle of its size range group. Ranking inside a size band matters because engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly re-measure the follower count. It is a starting point for a look at follower quality, not a verdict on it.
When does @GunOwners post?
Most posts go out around 00:00 UTC, and Friday is its busiest day, at roughly 2.37 posts per day across the measured window.
