From Shooting News Weekly we get the details. Hoplophobe's Hell: More Americans Are Rejecting Gun Control
There’s more good news for the people who still believe that God, guns, and guts made America great. Rasmussen reports forty-eight percent of likely voters said America needed stricter gun laws. Two years earlier it had been fifty-one.
The decline wasn’t a landslide, but represents a consistent trend downward for America’s gun control industry.
The Rasmussen report is behind a "pay wall." I'm not sure that you have to pay, but you do have to sign up and provide an email address.
So, why the change?
Twenty-nine states now have constitutional carry. A law-abiding adult can carry a handgun without begging for a government permission slip. The constantly predicted bloodbaths from the shrieking harpies at Brady, Giffords and Everytown never happened. In any of these states. It never does.
People kept going to work, to church, to Friday-night football. The sky didn’t fall. There weren’t shoot-outs over parking places. The only thing that fell was violent crime rates, nationwide. The FBI’s 2025 report put the murder rate at 4.1 per 100,000—tied with 1955 and 1956, a seventy-year low.
