WaPo: gun owners support gun restrictions

1
Gun owners support a wide range of gun control measures, Johns Hopkins study finds
Over 80 percent of gun owners and non-owners favor universal background checks, for instance. Similar percentages say they support testing requirements for people wishing to obtain a concealed-carry permit.

Gun violence restraining orders, which allow family members to ask authorities to remove guns from people at risk of harming themselves or others, are also highly popular.
But there was less agreement on several other policies. About 50 percent of gun owners approved of a minimum age of 21 for handgun purchases, while nearly 70 percent of non-owners supported such a restriction. Less than half of gun owners supported bans on assault weapons or magazines capable of holding more than 10 rounds, compared with support for such policies from nearly 70 percent of non-owners.
