"Survey reveals declining Republican support for gun restrictions"

Support among Republicans for gun restrictions has decreased, with only 32% now wanting more expansive legislation, down from 49% in July 2022, according to a recent poll. Independents' support also dropped from 72% to 61%. However, 92% of Democrats still support stronger gun laws. The poll also revealed bipartisan support for enforcing background checks on all potential gun buyers and preventing mass shootings. Additionally, a majority of Americans are in favor of courts preventing potentially dangerous individuals from owning guns and banning the sale of AR-15-style rifles. The bipartisan gun safety bill passed last year enhanced background checks and aimed to close loopholes.
