The United States since its founding has always had a connect to firearms be it for protection or sport, Americans value gun ownership. However, many gun related incidents over the last few years have lead to tragedy and call for stricter regulations. Pew Research Center recently surveyed both gun owners and non-gun owners to better understand Americans’ current feelings towards gun ownership and policy. The survey found that 30% of Americans own guns, and 66% of those owners own multiple guns. A 67% majority of owners cite protection as the main reason for owning a gun, while 38% percent cite hunting.
Still, even among gun owners there are political divides.41% of Republicans surveyed stated they owned a gun but only 16% of Democrats stated the same claim. These two groups exhibit vastly different ideals on gun policies. While both majorities agree on barring sales to mentally ill and those on watchlist, they differ on policies allowing more concealed carry with 82% of republican gun owners agree with this policy while only 42% of democratic gun owners agree with this policy. The opposite trend is seen in anti-gun policies such as assault weapons bans. These findings, though not unsurprising, showcase the divide in policy preferred to curb gun violence by gun owners and non-gun owners.
