Support among minority communities for tightening gun restrictions was drastically higher than among white people. Black adults show the highest support for stricter gun laws, at 77%, followed by Asians, at 74%, Latinos, at 68%, and whites, at 51%.
The study, which surveyed over 5,000 Americans, found that gun violence is viewed as a major problem across the board and that a majority of Americans support stricter gun laws — but that beefing up safety laws is more important to some communities than others.
Black adults show the highest support for stricter gun laws, at 77%, followed by Asians, at 74%, Latinos, at 68%, and whites, at 51%. “Most Asian immigrants come from countries where not only are there strict laws on things like assault weapons, there are strict laws on gun ownership, period,” said Karthick Ramakrishnan, the founder and a co-director of AAPI Data. “They have not grown up in contexts where there’s a lot of gun ownership. Gun ownership is connected to attitudes towards gun control.”
