Results of SurveyUSA Mkt Research Study #26602
 
59% of American Adults Have Personal Experience With Gun Violence; 1 in 5 Know Someone Killed With a Gun; 59% Demand Stronger Gun Laws:

SurveyUSA interviewed 1,300 adults nationwide on behalf of Everytown For Gun Safety to better understand Americans' experience with and feelings about gun violence. Highlighted findings:

60% of adults believe gun violence is a "major problem" in America, including 81% of liberals, 80% of Black adults, and 70% of those living in urban areas. Another 23% say gun violence is "somewhat" of a problem, including 36% of Republicans and 36% of those in the West North Central states. 9% overall say it is a minor problem, including 20% of independents who lean Republican and 17% in the East South Central states; just 6% overall – but 19% of strong Republicans and 15% of concealed-carry permit holders – say gun violence is not a problem in America.

These political and geographic differences recur throughout the research results.

When it comes to gun violence in their own neighborhoods, 23% say it is a major problem, including 45% of Black respondents, 34% of Latinos, and 17% of white respondents. 41% of urban residents say it is a major problem, compared to 14% in the suburbs and 13% in rural areas. 19% say gun violence is somewhat of a problem in their neighborhood, 22% a minor problem; 34% say it is not a problem at all, including 54% of strong Republicans and 49% in rural America.

A plurality, 48%, believe having a gun in their home makes them more safe; 15% believe it makes them less safe. 31% say it makes no difference. Gun owners, Conservatives, Republicans, and those in the East South Central states are the most likely to believe a gun in their home makes them more safe; liberals, Democrats, and those with graduate degrees are the most likely to believe it makes them less safe.

Outside of the home, a different opinion: a plurality, 42%, say private citizens carrying guns in public makes them less safe; 30% say more safe, 21% no difference.

59% say gun laws in the United States should be stronger than they are now, including majorities of men and women, young and old, white and non-white, less educated and more educated respondents, and in all four regions of the country. 24% say gun laws should be kept the same; 12% say they should be less strong. Those saying gun laws should be kept the same outnumber those who say they should be stronger among Republicans (by a 7-point margin), Trump voters (by a nominal 2 points), and conservatives (by a single point.)

SurveyUSA next asked respondents how big of a problem each of 10 types of gun incidents are. Percentage saying "a major problem" for each:
  • 76%: Mass shootings in schools. Called a major problem by a majority of every respondent sub-group.
  • 63%: Mass shootings in places other than schools. Seen as a major problem by 48% of those identifying as Republicans on a scale from strong Republican to strong Democrat, and by a majority of all other respondents.
  • 56%: Shootings motivated by racial or ethnic hatred. 69% of Democrats, 54% of independents, and 41% of Republicans see this as a major problem.
  • 54%: Everyday crimes committed with the use of a gun. Of significantly more concern in New England than in the other 8 Census divisions.
  • 47%: Shootings in domestic abuse cases. 52% among women; 40% among men.
  • 46%: "Heat of the moment" shootings (e.g., road rage, bar fights, arguments with neighbors, etc.)
  • 44%: Police shootings. 67% among very liberal respondents, 32% among very conservative respondents.
  • 41%: Shootings motivated by religious hatred.
  • 38%: Suicides using a gun. 50% among those 18 to 34 years old, compared to 29% among those age 65+.
  • 28%: Accidental or unintentional shootings.
70% say it should be a very high (47%) or fairly high (23%) priority for the next Congress to pass legislation dealing with the problem of gun violence; 15% call it a medium priority; 12% a low priority. Men are twice as likely as women to say it is a low priority; older respondents are twice as likely as younger respondents to call it a low priority; white respondents are 5 times more likely than Black respondents to call it a low priority. 71% of Democrats and 23% of Republicans say it is a high priority; 26% of Republicans and 1% of Democrats say it is a low priority.

Respondents were next asked about types of gun violence they have had personal experience with. While 41% have had no personal experience, 59% have. Asked in a check-all-that-apply question, the percentages who have experienced each of the following, shown from highest to lowest:
  • 28% say someone they know or care about has been threatened or intimidated with a gun.
  • 23% say someone they know or care about attempted or died by suicide with a gun.
  • 22% have been threatened or intimidated with a gun.
  • 21% say someone they know or care about been shot and injured.
  • 20% say someone they know or care about been killed with a gun.
  • 19% know more than one person who has been shot.
  • 16% say someone they know or care about been shot at, but not physically injured with a gun.
  • 15% have witnessed a shooting.
  • 11% have been shot at, but not physically injured with a gun.
  • 3% have themselves been shot or injured.
Who are the 59% who have had personal experience with gun violence? 75% of parents; 74% of concealed carry permit holders; 72% of 18 to 34 year-olds; 71% of Black adults; 70% of independents who lean Democratic; 69% of people living in a gun-owning household; 68% of those with post-graduate degrees; 67% of gun owners, of East South Central respondents, and of 35 to 49 year-olds; 66% of political independents, of renters, and of those who have attended some college; 65% of men, of independents who lean Republican, and of those who live in both urban areas and in the West South Central states; 63% of non-white respondents and of residents of the West North Central Census Division and the Southern Census Region; 62% of those who describe themselves as somewhat liberal; 61% of moderates and of Southern Atlantic and Mountain Division respondents; 60% of Latinos, of registered voters, of Trump voters, of conservatives, of Midwesterners – and majorities of virtually all other subgroups, with the particular exception of those over age 65, just 34% of whom have had personal experience with gun violence.

80% say they have felt an emotional reaction when hearing about a shooting incident; of those who have, 52% say sadness or depression is their most common emotion after hearing of a shooting; 28% say anger; 8% say they feel frightened or afraid; 6% say they feel anxious.

77% say they believe children today are more at risk of becoming a victim of gun violence than they themselves were as children; 6% say they are less at risk; 13% say there is no difference.

29% of US adults say they personally own guns; 25% say someone else in their household owns guns.

41% of those who have had personal experiences with gun violence say it has caused them trauma. Asked to describe the impact of their trauma from gun violence on a scale of 1 to 5, where 1 means it affected them for a short period of time and/or they were able to overcome it without much difficulty, and where 5 means the trauma frequently affects their well-being and/or their functioning and that their mental, physical, social, emotional, or spiritual well-being are severely affected, the average impacted respondent rates their trauma as a 3.7. Interestingly, given the political divisions seen previously in this research, respondents at the two ends of the ideological spectrum – very conservative and very liberal respondents who experienced trauma from their gun violence experiences – are equally traumatized, both rating their trauma as a 4.1 on a scale of 1 to 5.

Regardless of whether or not they needed or used any such services, 43% of those who experienced trauma say there were support, assistance, or services available to help them cope with the impact of that trauma both in the first six months and a year or more after the shooting.

How much did those personally affected by gun violence need support, assistance, or services? Respondents were asked to rank which services they needed on a scale of 1 to 10, where 1 means they did not need the service at all, and where 10 means they needed it very much, both in the first six months after the shooting and a year or more afterwards:
  • Mental health counseling. 4.4 in the first six months, 3.9 a year or more afterwards.
  • Legal assistance as victim of crime. 4.0 in the first six months, then 3.5 after a year.
  • Financial assistance for medical expenses. 3.7 in the first six months, 3.4 a year or more afterwards.
  • Financial assistance for loss of income due to disability or death. 3.6 in the first six months, then 3.4.
  • Rehabilitation, medical equipment, physical therapy. 3.5 in the first six months, then 3.3.
  • Financial assistance for funeral expenses. 3.5 during the first six months, 3.2 after a year.
  • Legal assistance for estate or guardianship. 3.4 in the first six months, then 3.1.
  • Home healthcare worker or caregiving. 3.4 over the first six months, 3.1 after a year.
Those who needed to use one or more services were asked how well their needs were met through community, non profit, or government resources, on a scale of 0-5, where 0 means not met at all, and 5 means completely met. Those who needed services during the first six months gave them an average score of 3.4 on this scale; those needing services a year or more following the shooting gave them an average score of 3.6

24% of those affected by gun violence say that in the time since that happened, the way they perceive themselves has been more positive; 22% say it is more negative; 42% say it is unchanged.
