Vol. 5, No. 3, Summer 1999
Two-thirds of the Public Backs Tough Gun Curbs. In a new poll taken May 12-16 by Pew Research reported May 21st in the L.A. Times, three out of four Republican women say increasing restrictions on guns is more important than protecting the rights of Americans to own them. This is about the same percentage as all women. Slightly more than half of all Republicans, 53% (up from 47% six years ago) said gun control is more important than protecting the rights of gun owners. Threequarters of Democrats in the poll said gun control is more important than protecting the rights of gun owners, an increase from two-thirds six years ago. In the Pew poll, almost all-demographic groups showed increased support for giving priority to gun control.
