Survey: Majority of Voters Say Stricter Gun Control Will Not Stop Shootings

A survey from Rasmussen Reports shows that 51 percent of U.S. voters do not think stricter gun control would stop mass public shootings.

Moreover, Rasmussen found that “59 percent think it is not possible to completely prevent mass shootings like the one in Brooklyn.”

When the responses were broken down along party lines, 65 percent of Democrat voters think the U.S. needs stricter gun control while just 23 percent of Republicans concur. Also, 61 percent of Democrats believe stricter gun control would prevent attacks like the one seen Tuesday in Brooklyn.
