In the month between the Oct. 1 mass shooting in Las Vegas and the Nov. 5 mass shooting in Sutherland Springs, Texas, Gallup found that 51% of Americans prefer the government pass new gun laws rather than focus only on enforcing the current laws more strictly. This compares with 47% support in Gallup’s previous measure in 2012, and it is the first time that a majority of Americans have favored passing new laws since Gallup first asked this question in 2000.
