    Record-Low 26% in U.S. Favor Handgun Ban

    Record-Low 26% in U.S. Favor Handgun Ban

    A record-low 26% of Americans favor a ban on handguns in the U.S. Also, for the first time, Americans are more likely to oppose (53%) than favor (43%) a ban on assault rifles. More broadly, Americans' support for stricter handgun laws and passage of new gun laws is the lowest Gallup has measured.




    PRINCETON, NJ -- A record-low 26% of Americans favor a legal ban on the possession of handguns in the United States other than by police and other authorized people. When Gallup first asked Americans this question in 1959, 60% favored banning handguns. But since 1975, the majority of Americans have opposed such a measure, with opposition around 70% in recent years.

    Found this interesting. Along with the other statistics there.
