Does the United States need stricter gun control laws?: Most Americans say “No” by a 49% to 42% marg
Rasmussen | Published on 4/20/2022
Rasmussen Reports has a new survey on support for stricter gun control laws. They interviewed 1,000 Americans from January 30-31, 2022 and the margin of error in the survey was +/-3%. By a 49%-to-42% margin, Americans opposed stricter gun control. This is slightly larger than a recent Quinnipiac University Poll from last November that found Americans oppose stricter gun control laws by a 49% to 45% margin.
Those groups who were clearly in favor of more regulations were blacks, Democrats, people earning more than $200,000 per year, and government workers. Those who clearly opposed more regulations were men; people aged 40 to 64; whites; Republicans and others; married; people who worked for private companies, retired and others; and investors.
