National Survey of 1,000 U.S. Likely Voters

Conducted November 1-2, 2015
By Rasmussen Reports

 

1* Should a strict background check be required for anyone to buy a gun in the United States?

 

2* Will strict background checks of all potential gun buyers increase violent crime, decrease violent crime or have no impact on violent crime?

 

3* If government background checks are implemented, who should be prevented from buying a gun? Should be it just convicted felons and those with serious mental health issues, or should more people be prevented from buying a gun?
