PoliceOnes-Gun-Control-Survey-11-key-lessons-from-officers-perspectives/
1.) Virtually all respondents (95 percent) say that a federal ban on
manufacture and sale of ammunition magazines that hold more than 10 rounds
would NOT reduce violent crime.
2.) The majority of respondents — 71 percent — say a federal ban on the
manufacture and sale of some semi-automatics would have NO effect on
reducing violent crime.
However, more than 20 percent say any ban would actually have a negative
effect on reducing violent crime.
Just over 7 percent took the opposite stance, saying they believe a ban
would have a moderate to significant effect.
3.-5.) also not in favor of gun control.
6.) The overwhelming majority (almost 90 percent) of officers believe that
casualties would be decreased if armed citizens were present at the onset of
an active-shooter incident.
7.) More than 80 percent of respondents support arming school teachers and
administrators who willingly volunteer to train with firearms and carry one
in the course of the job.
8.) More than four in five respondents (81 percent) say that gun-buyback
programs are ineffective in reducing gun violence.
9.) More than half of respondents feel that increased punishment for
obviously illegal gun sales could have a positive impact on reducing gun
violence. |
