Overwhelming Majority of Americans Believe Gun Ownership is Good for Society 

According to a recent RMG Research poll, Americans still strongly support the right to bear arms and have not shifted in a hostile direction towards the concept of private gun ownership. 

Over 60% of voters “would prefer to live in a community where people are allowed to own guns,” the poll discovered. In addition, over 70% of voters indicated that “there are positive benefits to allowing private gun ownership.”

The overwhelming majority of Republicans agree with the sentiments put forward in the poll. Democrats themselves are split on the former question and agree with the latter question by almost 60%.
