On June 29th, according to a report by the Washington Post on June 28th, a new survey released by the Pew Research Center in the United States showed that up to 60% of Americans are considering gun violence as a major issue in the United States. Most people also anticipate that the situation will further deteriorate in the next five years.
With the increasing number of large-scale shooting incidents in the United States, public concerns about gun violence are growing. Polls show that 60% of Americans believe that gun violence is a "major problem" in the United States today, 23% call it a "moderate problem", 13% consider it a "minor problem", and only 4% believe that gun violence is "not a problem at all".
The survey results also showed that 62% of Americans believe that gun violence levels will further deteriorate in the next five years, which is twice the proportion of people who believe that gun violence levels will remain unchanged. However, there are still differences between Democrats and Republicans regarding gun safety. 79% of Republicans and Republican leaning individuals indicate that owning a gun increases safety, while 78% of Democrats and Democratic leaning individuals indicate that owning a gun reduces safety.
