On policy, a majority of Americans (55%) agree that the country would be safer if we enacted stricter gun control laws. When breaking respondents into gun owners and non-gun owners, the rates of agreement begin to show a difference of opinion. Non-gun owners agree at a higher rate with enacting stricter gun control laws (60%) compared to gun owners (42%). On the issue of gun control, younger American Millennials (those between ages 18 and 34), gun owners or not, tend to lean close to the opinion of non-gun owners, with 61% reporting that they believe the country would be safer under stricter gun control laws.
Although the majority of Millennials believe in stricter gun control, that does not mean they are shying away from gun culture. Among Millennials, 28% are gun owners, an equal rate to Gen Xers (between ages 35-54) and Baby Boomers (older than 55) 28% and 27% of whom own guns, respectively. In fact, compared to their elder counterparts, Millennial gun owners are more likely to carry a gun on them at least once a month. Forty-three percent of gun owning Millennials carry their gun relatively often, while just 25% of gun owning Gen Xers and 21% of gun owning Baby Boomers report the same.

Shall we talk about all the idiots coming out of university in favor of socialism/communism?
These numbers are very hard to believe.
I am of the opinion that the best thing a gun owner can do to protect their second amendment rights is to take a 20 to 30 something to the range.
So millenials want gun control, but keep their guns...want higher taxes, but don’t want to pay taxes...want universal health care, but don’t want to wait in lines/offices. That sum it up?
screw Mellenials . If they aren’t in uniform them are mostly clueless selfish softy dweebs
People who want more gun control are often surprised to learn that safegaurds they want are already law. Thats what I see here.
there is a youtube political commentator who had been a Bernie sanders supporter and for gun control. got red pilled when sanders supported Hillary. A trump supporter took him to the target range now the Guy is a gun enthusiast and second amendment supporter. its been fun to watch this guy switch from ultra leftist to you take my gun from my dead body if you take it at all. he is a young guy 30 something.
Prior to asking the poll question they should state that the Supreme Court has ruled that the police are not obligated to respond to your call. Then ask them...
Do you support more gun control?
Gun Control is a steady hand and hitting what you’re aiming at!
