Support for stricter US gun laws at lowest level since 2016
Support for tougher gun laws has dropped to its lowest levels since 2016 as gun sales reached record highs this year amid the coronavirus pandemic and a spike in violent crime nationwide. Around 57% of Americans favor stricter laws covering the sale of firearms, a seven-percentage point decline since last year, according to a Gallup poll published Monday. At the same time, 34% of American adults prefer current gun laws while 9% favor fewer regulations. The numbers come absent a high-profile mass shooting that often accompanies calls for more gun control. John Erickson points to half-empty handgun racks in his Bridgeport., Neb., shop earlier this month.
