The poll also shows an evenly divided perspective on the impact of gun ownership on safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Conducted from June 5-11, 2023, the survey engaged 5,115 panel members nationwide. Results show that 62% of Americans predict increased gun violence over the next five years. Only 31% expect stability, while 7% anticipate a decrease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Regarding safety, 49% believe gun ownership increases safety. The same percentage think it decreases safety due to potential firearm misuse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The poll shows a slight rise in support for stricter gun laws since 2021, now at 58%. This figure matches sentiments from 2019. Meanwhile, 26% deem the laws adequate, and 15% argue for leniency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Survey results also underscore vast support for specific gun control measures. Notably, 88% back the prevention of mentally ill individuals from purchasing guns. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, 79% favor raising the minimum age for gun purchases to 21. Other proposals, like banning high-capacity magazines (66%) and assault-style weapons (64%), also secured majority backing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-see-also-independence-day-celebrates-america-s-firearm-heritage\">SEE ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/independence-day-celebrates-americas-firearm-heritage\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"pew-survey-gun-violence-concerns-surge-divide-over-impact-of-gun-ownership-persists\" title=\"Pew Survey: Gun Violence Concerns Surge; Divide Over Impact of Gun Ownership Persists\">Independence Day Celebrates America\u2019s Firearm Heritage<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/PP_2023.06.28_gun-violence_00-04-760x1024.webp\" alt=\"Pew Research results on gun control.\" class=\"wp-image-181629\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">(<em>Photo: Pew Research Center<\/em>)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>The survey reveals stark divides by party and community type on the impact of gun ownership. Among Republicans, 79% see gun ownership as safety-enhancing. Among Democrats, only 22% agree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Place of residence also influences perceptions on gun ownership. Individuals in rural areas view gun ownership as safer than urban residents (65% vs. 34%). Gun owners also view it as safer than non-owners (71% vs. 37%).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Public opinion on the significance of gun violence and violent crime as issues has increased by 11% in both parties. Yet, partisan gaps persist. 81% of Democrats see gun violence as a big national problem, while only 38% of Republicans agree. The perception of violent crime as a major problem has also increased among both Republicans (60% to 64%) and Democrats (47% to 52%).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The poll also shows growing support for arming teachers and school officials in K-12 schools, now at 50%. This figure is a notable increase from 43% two years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The survey highlights the divisive nature of gun policy in the U.S. However, shared areas of agreement, such as barring mentally ill individuals from buying guns, suggest potential common ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\" style=\"font-size:24px\"><strong><em>*** <a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"pew-survey-gun-violence-concerns-surge-divide-over-impact-of-gun-ownership-persists\" title=\"Pew Survey: Gun Violence Concerns Surge; Divide Over Impact of Gun Ownership Persists\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Buy and Sell on GunsAmerica!<\/a> ***<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A recent Pew Research Center survey reveals growing concerns over gun violence in America.
