The share of Americans who favor stricter gun laws has declined since September 2019. Past data from the Pew Research Center shows 6 in 10 Americans wanted to get tougher on gun control in 2019. In March 2017, past data also shows, 52% of adults supported stricter gun laws, 30% said they were about right, and 18% said they should be less strict.
“Blacks, Hispanics, and Asians are more likely to be Democrat, so they're more likely to be liberals,” said Eugene Volokh, Professor of Law at UCLA School of Law. “Generally speaking, it's liberals and Democrats that most support gun control and conservative Republicans most oppose it." |

TO REMEMBER |
| "And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
