Washington, D.C. — A new national Public Policy Polling survey
of gun owners finds overwhelming support for background checks and a
higher likelihood of supporting political candidates who move them
forward. Gun owners also believe the National Rifle Association, or NRA,
is out of touch with them on these issues, and many believe the
organization has lost its way altogether. While the debate over gun
policy starkly divides American politics, this poll shows that support
for key gun violence prevention policies has remained strong for years,
even among gun owners themselves.
