As the country reels from a deadly weekend of gun violence — 1o people dead– nearly half of Republicans say that they are something that must be accepted as part of a “free society,” according to a new poll.
Nearly half of all respondents who identified as Republicans, around 44 percent, said that shootings like those in Uvalde and Buffalo are “unfortunately something we have to accept as part of a free society.” By comparison, 85 percent of Democrats and 73 percent of Independents said mass shootings are “something we can prevent and stop if we really tried.”
And we wonder why we can’t get gun control in this country.
