This pattern, whereby public support for tougher gun control spikes after prominent mass shootings and falls back as the memory of them fades, has been evident historically in Gallup polling.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to dividing up the question along party lines, the results were that 86% of Democrats, 60% of independents, and 27% of Republicans want stricter laws.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"569\" title=\"New Gallup Poll Shows Diminished Support for Gun Control\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Gallup2-1024x569.png\" alt=\"New Gallup Poll Shows Diminished Support for Gun Control\" class=\"wp-image-170732\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Gallup2-1024x569.png 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Gallup2-400x222.png 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Gallup2-150x83.png 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Gallup2-768x427.png 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Gallup2.png 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">(<em>Photo: Gallup<\/em>)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Gallup also inquired about household gun ownership.  Thirty-three percent of Americans said they personally own a gun and 46% admitted to having a gun in their home or elsewhere on the property. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/nra-ila-biden-taps-operation-chokepoint-veteran-to-again-lead-fdic\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"new-gallup-poll-shows-diminished-support-for-gun-control\" title=\"New Gallup Poll Shows Diminished Support for Gun Control\">NRA-ILA: Biden Taps Operation Chokepoint Veteran to Again Lead FDIC<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>What&#8217;s interesting about the gun ownership trends from Gallup is that they seem to not fully account for the COVID-19 pandemic gun boom when millions of Americans, from all walks of life, purchased firearms for the first time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The National Shooting Sports Foundation, the firearms industry trade association, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nssf.org\/articles\/nssf-retailer-surveys-indicate-5-4-million-first-time-gun-buyers-in-2021\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"new-gallup-poll-shows-diminished-support-for-gun-control\" title=\"New Gallup Poll Shows Diminished Support for Gun Control\">estimates<\/a> that there were 4.5 million first-time gun buyers in 2021, and 8.4 million in 2020.  That&#8217;s almost 13 million new gun owners!  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Considering that there are approximately<a href=\"https:\/\/www.infoplease.com\/us\/census\/demographic-statistics\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"new-gallup-poll-shows-diminished-support-for-gun-control\" title=\"New Gallup Poll Shows Diminished Support for Gun Control\"> 200 million adults in the U.S<\/a>., one would expect those percentages in the Gallup poll to reflect at least a 6-7 percent increase in gun ownership by 2022 when compared to 2019.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But that&#8217;s not what Gallup is reporting.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Oct. of 2019, Gallup found that 29% of Americans personally owned a gun.  In Oct. of 2020, it jumped to 32% and then strangely ticked down to 31% in 2021 &#8212; again, in the face of a discernible spike in first-time gun buyers.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What gives?  Perhaps not everyone is willing to confess to a Gallup pollster that they are exercising their 2A rights to keep and bear arms.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gallup does caution that the &#8220;margin of sampling error is \u00b14 percentage points at the 95% confidence level.&#8221;  So, maybe those numbers do check out with a 4 percentage point bump due to the margin of error: 33% + 4% (for margin of error) = 37% in 2022 compared to 29% in 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What are your thoughts?  Do you trust Gallup&#8217;s results?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">**<a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/\" campaign=\"BuySellGA_Register\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\">Buy and Sell on GunsAmerica!<\/a>***<\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When it comes to dividing up the question along party lines, the results were that 86% of Democrats, 60% of independents, and 27% of Republicans want stricter laws.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":34,"featured_media":170731,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_specdata_upc":"","_specdata_placement":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[244,25,240],"tags":[132,607],"featured":[],"hunt365":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-170730","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-2nd-amendment-r2kba","8":"category-current-events","9":"category-this-week","10":"tag-buzz","11":"tag-news"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.1 (Yoast SEO v27.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>New Gallup Poll Shows Diminished Support for Gun Control<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The results were that 86% of Democrats, 60% of independents, and 27% of Republicans want stricter laws covering the sale of firearms.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/new-gallup-poll-shows-diminished-support-for-gun-control\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"New Gallup Poll Shows Diminished Support for Gun Control\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"When it comes to dividing up the question along party lines, the results were that 86% of Democrats, 60% of independents, and 27% of Republicans want stricter laws.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/new-gallup-poll-shows-diminished-support-for-gun-control\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Gun Reviews and News | GunsAmerica.com\/Digest\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/gunsamerica\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2022-11-22T23:33:19+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2023-09-08T11:47:57+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Gallup1.png\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1200\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"667\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/png\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"S.H.
