Majorities of Americans now support bans on handguns and assault rifles

A study by Leger on gun control has found that majorities of Americans now support bans on handguns and assault rifles. 2022 was the third consecutive year that the United States had over 600 mass shootings.

73% of Americans support a ban on importing, buying or selling assault rifles, while 55% support the same for handguns.

Even larger majorities of Canadians also support bans on handguns (78%) and assault rifles (87%).
