I keep seeing things in news, even posts here, that discuss the number of "new gun buyers" in whatever time period. How do they, whoever they are, determine who is a "new gun buyer" and who is not? If I were to buy a gun who would know, and how would they know if it is my first one or if I already have an arsenal?

The government knows everything.
For some reason my tablet won't let me post a link. If you do a Google search for: NSSF new gun buyers 2020, you will find information regarding their estimate of 5 million new gun buyers last year.
On this site things like a bidders feedback can give an indication if they are new to Gun broker. The price of firearms and ammo on the auction side has skyrocketed because of the increased demand from all those new buyers being added into the mix.
There have been other shortages before for ammo and particular classes of firearms, like AR15s, but with the pandemic, gov't free money and political and social unrest this past year and a half it seems all types of firearms are in short supply and bringing top dollar. It is good to have more firearm owners but the sudden influx has made it a bit inconvenient for everyone. Bob
That's what concerns me
It's a conspiracy!
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
Everyone is a new gun buyer on each purchase
Actually, I think used guns don't qualify as a new gun purchase.

The next gun I buy will be a new gun.
"Actually, I think used guns don't qualify as a new gun purchase."
I'd say they are "new" to the buyer!
We have a winner.
