While most Americans support stricter gun measures, people of color are more likely to favor them compared to White Americans, a new report says
The Pew Research Center found Black adults showed the highest support for stricter laws, at 77%, followed by Asian adults at 74% and Hispanic adults at 68%. Meanwhile, 51% of White adults said gun laws should be stricter. Overall, 58% of Americans said gun laws in the US should be stricter, while nearly a third said they “are about right” and 15% said they should be less strict. Respondents were also asked about specific policy proposals.
Earlier this month, President Joe Biden marked one year since he signed into law a bipartisan gun bill – the first major gun safety legislation in decades. The law included $750 million to help states implement and run crisis intervention programs.
