Fox News Poll: Voters favor gun limits over arming citizens to reduce gun violence

Half worry about being a victim of gun violence, including many in gun-owning households​

After a series of mass shootings this spring, including the killing of several students at a private Christian school in Tennessee, voters would prefer focusing on specific gun control measures rather than arming citizens to reduce gun violence.

A new Fox News Poll finds most voters favor the following proposals:
  • Requiring criminal background checks on all gun buyers (87%)
  • Improving enforcement of existing gun laws (81%)
  • Raising the legal age to buy a gun to 21 (81%)
  • Requiring mental health checks on gun buyers (80%)
  • Allowing police to take guns from those considered a danger to themselves or others (80%)
  • Requiring a 30-day waiting period for all gun purchases (77%)
  • Another 6 in 10 favor banning assault rifles and semi-automatic weapons (61%).
Another 6 in 10 favor banning assault rifles and semi-automatic weapons (61%). On Tuesday, Washington became the 10th state to institute a general ban on assault weapon sales.

While nearly half would encourage more citizens to carry guns to defend against attackers (45%), a slim majority is opposed (52%).

Fine, appeal the Constitution. Looks like you have the votes. Go for it.

…shall not be infringed
 
"Arming citizens" indicates the government forcing people to carry a gun. Nobody wants that. Trick polls only work in left wing arenas.
