Poll: More support new gun laws over stricter enforcement
A majority of Americans now support the passage of new laws on guns over stricter enforcement of existing laws, a new poll shows.
The Gallup poll found that 51 percent of Americans favor the government passing additional laws firearms, the first time a majority have said so in the annual Crime poll. Another 60 percent indicated support for laws further regulating the sale of firearms.
For the first time since the poll was first conducted in 2000, a majority of Americans favor more laws than do not, after 47 percent said they did after the deadly 2012 shooting of an elementary school in Newtown Connecticut.
The latest poll was conducted Oct. 5-11, between two of the deadliest shootings in U.S. history, both of which sparked heated partisan debates over gun regulations and calls for new bans on certain weapons and gun accessories.
