New polls reveal that gun control support is rising across the political spectrum. While Democrats are stable, Independents and Republicans are growing in support. According to the Morning Consult poll eight percent more people support stricter gun laws. While Republicans are divided on this issue, Democrats and Republicans have increased their support of tighter gun laws by one point each. This trend could suggest that Americans are interested in gun controls. But how widespread is support for stricter gun laws?
Republicans
According to polling, a majority of Republicans and Democrats support certain gun control measures while majorities in both parties oppose them. Majorities of Republicans & Democrats support banning assault weaponry and high-capacity magazine, but less support restricting gun access. Although Republican support for gun control has fallen, Democrats are more likely to support gun restrictions. And while Republicans generally support banning guns and ammunition magazines, most oppose the idea of banning teachers from carrying guns in schools.
Independents
Two days after Tops supermarket was shot, 60 percent and 57% of Republicans responded to a survey that asked them about their support for stronger gun control laws. In a previous survey, only 31 percent of independents and 7 percent of Republicans supported tighter gun control laws. But an upswing in support among independents and Republicans after these tragedies accounted for the increase in support for tighter gun control laws. Overall, 66 percent of independents said they support stricter gun control laws.
Young people
A new poll shows that young people are increasingly supportive of gun control legislation. According to Harvard IOP Center for Public Affairs Research, 61% of young respondents believe gun control laws should not be as strict. Seventy seven percent of young adults think the government should spend more resources to prevent gun violence. This support of gun control legislation is in keeping with young people’s attitudes to other social problems such as abortion and LGBTQ rights.
Older Americans
According to a new poll, older Americans are more likely that younger Americans to support tighter gun laws. CBS News and YouGov conducted the poll among 2,041 adults across the U.S. and weighed age, gender, race, and gender. Although older Americans are more likely support gun control than those younger, they still support it in a small but significant way. A majority of older Americans support universal background checks for gun purchase.
GOP negotiators
While some Republicans have expressed support for stricter gun laws, a majority of them are hesitant to move forward due to fear of political backlash or primary challenges. Many lawmakers are optimistic about the weekend's talks and believe that whatever outcome will be a step forward. It is possible they are wrong but there are still many things to consider.
Everytown for Gun Safety
Each state currently has at minimum one law against gun sale, however, 18 states, the District of Columbia, and other countries have introduced some form of background checking. Nearly half the Americans are also living in homes with unlocked firearms. In fact, the organization has more than 3.5 million supporters. What can each individual citizen do to prevent gun violence? Spreading the word on gun control issues through social media is a quick way to get people talking.
