PRINCETON, N.J., Oct. 25 (UPI) -- Public support of stricter gun control laws has dropped by nine percent since the school shootings in Newtown, Conn., last year, a Gallup poll found.
The poll, released Friday, found that 49 percent of respondents said they are in favor of more strict gun control laws, down from 58 percent following the December 2012 shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in which 20 children and six educators were killed, Gallup reported.
