New polls indicate that there is growing support across all political spectrums for tighter gun laws. Independents and Republicans are increasing their support while Democrats remain unchanged. The Morning Consult poll showed that eight more respondents supported tighter gun laws. While Republicans are divided on this issue, Democrats and Republicans have increased their support of tighter gun laws by one point each. This may suggest that Americans are increasingly interested in gun control. But how widespread is support for stricter gun laws?
Republicans
Surveys show that both Democrats and Republicans favor some gun control measures. However, majorities of both political parties oppose others. Majorities of Republicans as well as Democrats support banning assault weapons and high capacity magazines. Fewer support restricting gun accessibility. While Republican support for gun controls is much lower than that of Democrats, they are more likely not to oppose restrictions on gun access. While Republicans support banning ammunition magazines and guns, most Republicans oppose banning teachers from having guns in schools.
Independents
In a poll taken two days after the Tops supermarket attack, 60 percent of Independents and 57 per cent of Republicans supported stricter gun control laws. In a previous survey, only 31 percent of independents and 7 percent of Republicans supported tighter gun control laws. However, a rise in support from both Republicans and independents after these tragedies led to a greater support for stricter gun control laws. Overall, 66% support stricter gun controls laws.
Young people
According to a new survey, young people support gun control legislation. A Harvard IOP Center for Public Affairs Research poll found that 61% think gun control laws should be more strict. Seventy seven percent of young adults think the government should spend more resources to prevent gun violence. This support of gun control legislation is in keeping with young people’s attitudes to other social problems such as abortion and LGBTQ rights.
Older Americans
New poll finds that older Americans are more likely, than younger Americans to support stricter gun regulations. CBS News and YouGov carried out the poll, which was weighted according to age, gender, racial, and other factors. Older Americans are more likely to support gun control than younger people, but their support is still not overwhelming. A majority of older Americans support universal background checks for gun purchase.
GOP negotiators
Although a few Republicans are in favor of stricter gun control laws being enacted, most of them remain hesitant to do so because of fears of primary challenges and electoral backlash. Many lawmakers are optimistic about the weekend's talks and believe that whatever outcome will be a step forward. It is possible they are wrong but there are still many things to consider.
Everytown for Gun Safety
While every state currently has a law banning gun sales, 18 states (and the District of Columbia) have established background checks. Nearly half the Americans are also living in homes with unlocked firearms. The organization boasts more than 3.5million supporters. But what can individual citizens do to help stop gun violence? A quick way is to spread the word about gun control issues on social media.

How To
How can I teach my son how to hunt
This is a very common problem. Many parents want their children learn to shoot guns. But they don't know where or how to start. Safety is the most important thing to remember when teaching your child how a gun works. You need to make sure that your child is aware of what to do in the event of an accident. You should also make sure he understands the rules of shooting. For example, you should teach him to always keep his finger off the trigger until ready to fire. If he accidentally shoots himself, you must immediately stop playing around and take him to the hospital.
The next step is to teach him how to handle different types of weapons. This covers rifles, shotguns and pistols as well as airguns. Your kid should understand how these different kinds of weapons work so that he can choose which one suits his skill level best. It is important to consider the size, weight of the weapon as well as its accuracy and power. A.22 caliber rifle makes a great starting rifle. It is compact enough to be held by beginners and strong enough to take out pests like squirrels. A 12 gauge shotgun, on the other hand is big enough to be held comfortably by adults and still have plenty of power to kill wildlife. Airguns are quiet and easy to operate, making them perfect for children who are just learning how to shoot.
Now, you can help your child practice shooting at targets. You can help your child try different angles and positions to find which one works for him. You must also ensure that he understands how to properly clean, maintain, and store his weapon.
After your child has learned the basics, it's time to move on to hunting. There are many options to show your child how hunting works. Let him out in the wild with you. You can also buy a gun and teach him how to load it and unload it. Another way to help your child train a dog is to get one. Dogs are easy to train and they can follow your commands quickly. Dogs can be a great friend and playmate for your kid.
If none of these options appeal to you, you can hire someone who will teach your child. This is an expensive option and will require a lot more babysitting.
