Gallup: Concealed carry makes US safer 56 to 41 pct [View all]

http://www.gallup.com/poll/186263/majority-say-concealed-weapons-safer.aspx


56% say more concealed weapons would make country safer
Americans overwhelmingly support universal background checks
Americans split on effect of background-check laws on mass shootings


I almost attached this to the "We've reached a tipping point on gun control" thread, but that one has the backing of Kim Kardashian West twitter tweets and I felt a recent Gallup poll would not stand up to the empirical status of Kim and her followers.


Now maybe it was 61 to 37 percent last year, but we've still got over a two touchdown lead.
