The highest percentage of Americans in a decade say they think it's more important to curb gun violence than protect gun rights, according to a new poll. |
The finding comes a year after the mass shooting at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, the second-deadliest in American history. Multiple other mass shootings that have taken place in the time since that one. |
But the survey of almost 1,300 adults also shows Americans' views on guns are mixed, with little consensus on what to do about gun violence. |
Fewer Americans say they feel their community's schools are safe from gun violence. And while a significant majority feels the answer to mass shootings is stricter gun laws, the percentage believing the solution is more people needing to carry guns has jumped 10 points in the last four years. |
6 in 10 say controlling gun violence is more important than protecting gun rights. That's the highest in 10 years and includes 4 in 10 gun owners. 57% say schools in their community are safe. But since 2019, that's down 8 points. Those saying their local schools are not safe has jumped 10 points. |
27% said banning assault style guns would have the biggest impact, followed by mental health screenings. |
A significant portion (1 in 5) of the population, though, doesn't think anything will work. |
More than 6 in 10 say their first reaction when they hear about mass shootings is that there need to be stricter gun laws. But those saying people need to carry guns has also gone up by 10 points since 2019, from 25% to 35%. |
41% say they or someone they know has experienced gun violence, for example, by being threatened with a gun or as the victim of a shooting. |
The groups that were the most likely to say so were those 30- to 44-years old (53%), parents with children under 18 (52%), gun owners (49%), people who live in big cities (48%), GenZ/Millennials (47%) and non-whites (47%). |
Non-whites were 10 points more likely than whites to experience gun violence or know someone who has. |
People in states with more lax gun laws were also 8 points more likely to say they or someone they know has experienced gun violence , 45% to 37%. |
