Poll: Idaho backs background checks

Two-thirds of Idahoans support increased background checks for gun purchases, including on Internet and gun show sales, a new Idaho Politics Weekly poll by Dan Jones & Associates finds. The results come in a new survey conducted in late December before the latest round of mass shootings and Democratic President Barack Obama’s executive orders on increased background checks. The new survey also shows that 59 percent of Idahoans have guns in their homes, 30 percent don’t, and 11 percent declined to answer the question. Jones finds that 66 percent of Idaho adults “definitely” or “probably” support increased gun sale background checks on the buyers/ Bob Bernick , Idaho Politics Weekly. More here.
