After a series of mass shootings this spring, including the killing of several students at a private Christian school in Tennessee, voters would prefer focusing on specific gun control measures rather than arming citizens to reduce gun violence.
A new Fox News Poll finds most voters favor the following proposals:
• Requiring criminal background checks on all gun buyers (87%)
• Improving enforcement of existing gun laws (81%)
• Raising the legal age to buy a gun to 21 (81%)
• Requiring mental health checks on gun buyers (80%)
• Allowing police to take guns from those considered a danger to themselves or others (80%)
• Requiring a 30-day waiting period for all gun purchases (77%) CONTINUED
