A new Gallup poll <\/a>published this week indicates that Americans\u2019 support for gun control is on the decline, including the desire to outlaw handguns which hit an all-time low.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gallup surveyed a cross-section of Americans from Oct. 1-19 and found that 52% of respondents support stricter gun laws, \u201cthe lowest reading since 2014.\u201d \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe decline in support for stricter gun laws last year was mostly due to a 14-point drop among Republicans, to 22% — the group’s lowest point on record,\u201d noted the pollsters. \u201cThis year’s decrease is driven by a 15-point plunge among independents. For their part, Democrats’ desire for more restrictive gun laws ticked up to 91%.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When asked about handguns, the preferred choice for self-defense amongst many Americans, respondents overwhelmingly opposed a ban.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gallup has been measuring public support for a complete ban on handguns for decades.\u00a0 In 1959, 60% of Americans supported the move, now that number sits at just 19%, a six-point drop from last year and, as mentioned, a record low. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Gallup<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs is the case with Americans’ preference for gun laws in general, the latest drop in support for a handgun ban is largely attributable to political independents,\u201d said Gallup.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Handgun Bans: The Greatest Gun Control Failure the Anti-Gun Lobby Wants You to Forget<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCurrently, 14% of independents think there should be a ban on handguns, which marks a 16-point decline since 2019, including nine points since 2020. Even fewer Republicans, 6%, favor such a ban, while 40% of Democrats do — figures consistent with recent support among each party group,\u201d they continued. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The drop in support for gun control mirrors an increase in gun ownership across the country.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAmerica voted with their wallets over the past two years when it came to firearm ownership,\u201d said Mark Oliva, director of public affairs for the National Shooting Sports Foundation, the firearms industry trade association, in an email to GunsAmerica. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere were more than 21 million background checks conducted for the sale of a firearm in 2020. NSSF estimated that over 8.4 million people purchased a firearm for the first time. So far in 2021, there have been 15.2 million background checks for a gun sale and in the first six months of this year, 3.2 million purchased a firearm for the first time,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Given the fact that more citizens are exercising the 2A rights, we can hopefully expect this trend — a decline in support for restrictions on fundamental constitutional rights — to continue. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
