A majority of Americans (57%) say they support stricter gun control laws, but the number is down from a higher level in June (66%).
That’s according to Gallup.
A sharp increase in support for stricter laws was seen after mass shootings in Uvalde, Texas, and Buffalo, New York.
Though support has fallen nine percentage points since June, it’s still higher than the reading in October 2021 (52%) and equals 2020 (57%)
About 32% of Americans say gun laws should be kept as they are now, and 10% would like to see them made less strict, according to Gallup.
Sentiment on gun control tends to ebb and flow with mass shooting incidents.
