A strong majority of Missourians would support stricter gun control measures even as Missouri lawmakers look to further loosen laws around firearms, a new poll shows. A poll released today by Saint Louis University and British pollster YouGov found that respondents favor several gun control measures, with 79% supporting criminal background checks and 69% supporting a minimum purchasing age of 21 years old. The survey of 900 likely Missouri voters was conducted between Feb. 8 and 14, and has a 3.72% margin of error. The survey asked a range of questions, including gun control issues to the approval ratings of elected officials. The poll suggests widespread support for criminal and mental health background checks, age requirements and a waiting period, but Missouri Republicans continue to push against most gun control bills. Missouri is 38th in the country in terms of gun law strength, according to Everytown For Gun Safety. Head to the link in our bio to read more about the result...
