Americans Aren’t Convinced Stricter Gun Control Laws Will Decrease Violent Crime
New poll out since Parkland shooting. Nothing really changed from before the shooting.

Quote:Only 24% of Americans trust the government to fairly enforce gun control laws. Fifty-eight percent (58%) lack trust in the government’s ability to enforce those laws, while 18% are not sure.

Quote:Following last week's school shooting in Florida, Americans rate more gun control on the same level with treatment of the mentally ill as the best way to stop incidents of this kind. They also are a lot more concerned about how safe schools are.

Quote:Still, a majority of Republicans (56%), Democrats (61%) and unaffiliated adults (55%) don’t trust the government to fairly enforce gun control laws.

Nearly half (49%) who have a gun in their household say that more gun control laws will have no impact on violent crime. Fifty-four percent (54%) of those who are not gun owners say more laws will decrease violent crime.

Among adults who trust the government to fairly enforce gun control laws, 52% think stricter gun laws will decrease violent crime. Adults who lack trust in the government to enforce gun laws are more evenly divided.

also cites a survey saying most voters say there should be a ban on semi-automatic and assault weapons. Its from june of 16 and probably oversampled dems by 30%. I'm not a subscriber so I can't see the actual poll.
