Polls can be manipulated. It depends on how the question is posed, the terminology used, and if the people understand the tremonology. For example, most do not know what a semi-automatic weapon really is and think the AR-15 is an assault rifle.
An AR-15 is an assault weapon as per the actual legal description in the assault weapon ban. Select fire is not a requirement to meet the definition. That aside a vast majority of Americans and a majority of republicans support universal background checks and red flag laws.
