— MonmouthPoll (@MonmouthPoll) June 30, 2022
ALL AMERICANS / CURRENT GUN OWNERS
83% / 76% – Background checks
75% / 60% – Red flag laws
60% / 41% – National gun registry
55% / 33% – Ban assault weapon sales
42% / 18% – Mandatory buyback of assault weaponshttps://t.co/4NZ9MHxXgw pic.twitter.com/BnSAyWbzU0
66% for making gun laws more strict, rather than keeping them the same (25%) or less strict (8%). A big margin on a pretty salient issue–and one (unlike inflation, say) on which Congress directly legislates. Shouldn't Democrats should be able to capitalize on this in 2022? pic.twitter.com/a3ZPeh81gJ

34% of Republican and 87% of Democratic respondents said they were “very” or “somewhat” confident that stricter gun laws would reduce mass shootings, according to an ABC News/Washington Post poll conducted in September 2019.
