Are gun owners in favor of background checks for all gun sales?
A. Yes, 67 percent of gun owners favor requiring a background check for every sale, regardless of location. Eighty-four percent of people who live in a house with a gun (but are not the owner of the gun) favor a background check for every sale, and 80 percent of non-gun owners support this policy (Smith, p. 53).
