A new poll from McLaughlin & Associates has found that a majority of Americans support the Second Amendment but want a renewed focus on gun laws already on the books.
McLaughlin & Associates found that over 70% of Americans support the right to keep and bear arms while more than 50% wanted to see that current gun laws are enforced more. The poll also found that more Americans believe that more gun laws would not have stopped recent shootings in Atlanta, Georgia, and Boulder, Colorado.
McLaughlin & Associates was commissioned by The Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) to conduct this poll.
From The Outdoor Wire:
McLaughlin told SAF, “This survey shows clearly that Americans cherish their Second Amendment right. It’s obvious. Anybody who tells you Americans don’t believe in the Second Amendment doesn’t know what they’re talking about. It’s also clear they do not want Joe Biden deciding gun policy on his own, but instead want this issue debated through the democratic process.”
“As we’ve been saying for years,” Gottlieb observed, “gun control extremists have been completely wrong in their desire erase the Second Amendment and turn a right to bear arms into a heavily-regulated privilege. That notion doesn’t even square with non-gun owners, as the McLaughlin survey results confirm.
“Americans are protective of their constitutional rights,” Gottlieb said, “and we will use these poll results to fight the attacks on gun owners happening right now on Capitol Hill and in the Oval Office.”
With gun control being a hot topic in the political debate at the moment, many would assume that more members of the public would be supporting these policy changes being pushed by the Biden Administration and Democrats in Congress.

Remarkably, the author does not include those who understand the Constitution, that do not even want to entertain ideas of what the Second Amendment strictly forbids.
