There have been more political calls for civilian disarmament since the catastrophic massacre at Nashville’s Covenant School on March 27, 2023.
However, a majority of voters believe that mental health issues are the primary reason for mass shootings, according to a recent Rasmussen poll. In contrast to 29% who blame easy access to weapons, 42% of probable US voters feel that mental health is mainly to blame for mass shootings in America. Another 11% said social media was more to blame for mass shootings, compared to 7% who blamed school issues and 6% who said family issues were more to blame.
Approximately 67% of people, including 32% who think it’s very probable, think it’s likely that the assault on Nashville’s Covenant School would lead to “copycat” attacks on Christian institutions. 12% are uncertain, while 20% think “copycat” shootings are unlikely.
Among American voters, 41% of independent voters, 33% of Democrats, and 54% of Republicans feel that mental illness is more to blame for mass shootings than gun laws. Among voters, 43% of Democrats, 10% of Republicans, and 31% of independents attribute mass shootings more to easy access to firearms.
The likelihood of “copycat” assaults on Christian schools is predicted by 73% of Republican voters, 68% of Democratic voters, or 60% of independent voters in response to the massacre in Nashville.
45% of white voters, 29% of black voters, and 42% of other non-black minorities believe that gun access is more to blame for mass shootings than 30% of white voters, 28% of black voters, and 24% of non-black minorities. Voters of color are more prone to attribute mass shootings to educational issues.
Voters who have attended college are more inclined to attribute mass shootings to easy access to firearms.
Overall, the demand for gun restrictions in the US is not universal. There are still significant pro-gun tendencies among Americans despite the anti-gun intrusions made by Gun Control Inc. That will make it very impossible for massive gun grabs to pass.
