Analysis: Gun Deaths Dropped in California as They Rose in Texas: Gun Control Seems to Work - Los Angeles Times
Poll after poll has shown for years that large majorities of the public agree on at least some, limited steps to further regulate firearms.
A survey last year by the Pew Research Center, for example, showed that by 87% to 12%, Americans supported “preventing people with mental illnesses from purchasing guns.” By 81% to 18% they backed “making private gun sales and sales at gun shows subject to background checks.” And by a smaller but still healthy 64% to 36% they favored “banning high-capacity ammunition magazines that hold more than 10 rounds.”
The gunman in Uvalde appears to have carried seven 30-round magazines, authorities in Texas have said.
