Majority of adults say gun laws should be stricter than they are today
Public split on whether making it harder to own guns would cut mass shootings
More say they express feelings about gun policy on social media than donate money or contact officials
Democrats more likely than Republicans to have attended a protest or rally on guns; slight differences on contacting public officials, donating to gun policy groups
Partisans agree on several gun restrictions, but differ widely on assault weapons ban, ‘concealed carry’
More now prioritize controlling gun ownership than protecting gun rights
