Poll: More want school security than gun control

Published March 20, 2018 5:54pm ET



Despite a huge anti-gun rally planned to storm Washington this weekend, a new school shooting survey finds that most Americans want government leaders to increase security and help for the mentally ill than gun bans.

The survey, done by Gallup, found that by a margin of 56 percent to 41 percent, “Americans are more likely to say the government should change laws related to ‘school security and mental health system’ rather than the ‘laws on the sales of guns and ammunition’ as the best way to prevent future school shootings.”
