This poll shows why the Bloombergs of this country are losing on this issue. Unlike some issues conservatives are winning this debate and holding the line and even pushing back regulations and expanding open carry.

almost half of Americans believe the laws covering the sale of firearms should be strengthened

And, I would wager to bet that this half has NEVER tried to purchase a firearm to begin with.

Maybe the U.S. remains divided... but what if they were not?

The fact remains that the 2A and the Constitution remain ROCK steady over gun law.

[yefragetuwrabrumuy]

90% of the US has gone for gun liberty, with only a few blue states and municipalities working against constitutional rights.

Technically, that is “divided”, but you could also say on the issue of letting all convicted prisoners out of prison, since only the prisoners and maybe their families and friends support that, but nobody else, America is “divided” over that, too.

In either case, gun control or letting all prisoners go, they are still bad ideas, no matter how many people support them.

Any politician who suggests anything remotely akin to gun control should have a big target in the next election....we may not can get some of them but we should at least try.

[grobdriver]

One in four Americans think the law should limit possession to police and other authorized persons.

It's a good thing that a constitutional amendment isn't subject to public opinion...

America also divided over reduced gun laws (e.g go European on gun mufflers - for the old guys with still useable hearing).

[DJ Taylor]

We must never forget that our Constitution guarantees us the right to keep and bear arms only as long as five of nine Supreme Court Justices agree that it does.

[ealgeone]

while it’s good news on handguns, it doesn’t address other platforms.

that’s what concerns me about these type of polls.

Gallup. Nuf said.

[Red in Blue PA]

The Constitution is not held in place by polls. All gun laws are Unconstitutional.

U.S. Remains Divided Over Passing Stricter Gun Laws

That's correct. People with productive jobs: 70% against; Scumbag tyrant politicians: 70% for.
