Study Finds Strict Gun Control Laws Appeal To Latinos
According to a study released by the Pew Research Center, Latinos are more likely to favor strict gun control laws over Whites and African Americans.
The study found that only 29% of Latinos feel it is more important to protect gun ownership rightsthan it is to control the ownership of guns. This is different from how Whites responded to the survey, which found that 57% of them believe it is more important to protect gun ownership rights, while 37% place importance on gun ownership control.
Some believe that the increasing prevalence of gun violence in Latin America may be impacting the Latino support for stricter gun control laws in the United States.
