A clear plurality of voters believe the nation’s gun laws are too lax and they expect President Obama and Congress to tighten them, according to a new poll for The Hill.

At the same time, however, voters tend to believe that stricter gun laws will not significantly reduce deaths from gun violence in the United States.
------
A striking consensus was evident around the belief that Obama and Congress would come together to make the current laws pertaining to firearms more rigorous.

Asked to set aside their personal opinions about the desirability of such a change, a full 64 percent of voters asserted that action was very likely or somewhat likely. Only 26 percent said that it was not very likely or not likely at all.
------
Gun-rights groups had been put on edge earlier last week by Biden’s assertion that “executive orders, executive action, can be taken” on the gun issue.

The Hill Poll found more voters opposed to such an action than supportive of it, by 49 percent to 42 percent.

Here, again, the partisan split was deep. Seventy-one percent of Democrats would support executive action to make the laws tighter, but 82 percent of Republicans would oppose it.

Is it just me or is this article contradictory? It's confusing when you read the entire article.

Not contradictory. They want to point out that REPUBLICANS want no changes, so they can be demonized, yet again.

The narrative is to cow the Rebubs into accepting whatever Biden's 'bi-partisan' commission comes up with for solutions.

Anything addressing mental health won't be in there because it violates privacy.
The movie and game industry will hide behind the 1st Amendment
That just leaves.......wait for it................more restrictions on firearms.

Another fake push poll. Hey The Hill, was your sample size as large as the number of Americans buying guns and ammo in the last 2 months? Nope, did not think so.
