(AP) – Most U.S. adults think gun violence is increasing nationwide and want to see gun laws made stricter.
That’s according to a new poll that finds broad public support for a variety of gun restrictions.
The poll comes from the University of Chicago Harris School of Public Policy and The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research.
The poll shows majorities of Americans view both reducing gun violence and protecting gun ownership as important issues.
The poll found 71% of Americans say gun laws should be stricter, including about half of Republicans and a majority of those in gun-owning households.
