Gun control fading as a top priority for Americans: Poll

A new Gallup poll released Tuesday revealed fewer Americans see guns as the most important problem facing the U.S. than from a month ago when the number of Americans seeing guns as the country’s top issue was at a record high.

Six percent of Americans mentioned gun control as the most important problem facing the country in Gallup’s latest poll on the issue. That number was more the double in March, reaching a record high when 13 percent of Americans mentioned guns as the most important problem for the nation to address.
