These charts reflect the results of a new Quinnipiac University Poll -- done between August 21st and 26th of a national sample of 1,422 registered voters, with a margin of error of 3.1 points.
It shows that the NRA and the recalcitrant GOP members of Congress are on the wrong side of the gun issue. While they want to continue to block all efforts to pass stricter gun laws, that is not what a majority of registered voters want.
60% want stricter gun laws
93% want background checks required on all gun purchases
60% want a ban on the sale of assault weapons
80% support "red flag" laws to allow a judge to take guns away from a violent/dangerous person
82% want a license required to be able to buy a gun
In addition, 72% say Congress is not doing enough to control gun violence in this country.
The public wants action. They are sick of the numbers of mass shootings and gun deaths occurring in the United States -- numbers far greater than in any other developed nation.
