A new Gallup survey confirms what the firearms community essentially already knew: public support for banning handguns is near the all-time low, and Democrats support stricter 'gun control' more than any other group.

According to Gallup, "89% of Democrats supporting stricter gun laws compared with 56% of independents and 25% of Republicans."

There may be no other evidence necessary to reinforce the public belief that Democrats have become the "party of gun control/prohibition." Republicans, meanwhile, still more strongly align with the Second Amendment. The poll revealed a majority (59%) of Republicans "favor keeping firearms sales laws as they are now" while 15 percent would like them rolled back.

The Daily Caller is reporting that support for a ban on so-called "assault weapons" has declined 9 points since 2019, although a "slim majority" still supports stronger gun control laws (56%) while 33 percent favor leaving gun laws as they are now. .....
