The latest Marquette University poll shows that most Americans are on board with the Supreme Court's recognition of gun-carry rights. This is good news for those who support the Court's decision in New York State Rifle and Pistol Association v. Bruen, which struck down the state's restrictive gun-carry permitting scheme. The poll found that nearly 70% of adults approve of the decision, the highest level of support since it was announced in June 2022. On the flip side, only 31% oppose it, with a significant intensity gap of 40% strongly in favor and just 14% strongly opposed. These results suggest that most Americans are in favor of armed self-defense in public, which could make it harder for lawmakers in states where carry laws were voided by the ruling to introduce new restrictions. It could also strengthen the position of RKBA activists in their efforts to expand where gun carry is allowed across the country. Interestingly, Americans were more likely to approve of the Bruen decision than of the Court's overall performance. However, they also agreed with the Court's application of the history-and-tradition-based test in its recent decision, US v. Rahimi, upholding a domestic violence restraining order gun ban. On the other hand, most disagreed with the Court's ruling in Cargill v. Garland, which found that the ATF had exceeded its authority in issuing the bump stock ban. The poll was conducted between July 24th and August 1st and has a margin of error of plus or minus four points. While this is all good news for RKBA advocates, it's important to educate others on the nuances of these rulings, as most firearm owners may not be aware of the details. So, spread the word and help others understand the implications of these decisions.
