Here is a more current survey; the interesting point to note is that the percentage of people wanting stricter gun control dropped from a high of 69% to 52% and stricter control on handguns 76% to 57% that is a Hugh change in popular opinion

*There is a change in the question in 2004. In the previous surveys "neither" was not offered as a possible response but was accepted if given. In this new survey it was offered as a possible response.
