I'm one of them for banning the AR-15 for good too?!!
Social pressures. Bullies. Academics. These are all things generations of American children have had to worry about.
Today, their parents tell us, there's another worry weighing on most of them, too: the prospect of gun violence.
It's increasingly on parents' minds, as well; concern among America's parents now is even higher than it was last summer.
Today, 77% are at least somewhat concerned. Last year it was already high at 72%.
Six in 10 parents say that their kids express worry over gun violence, either a lot or sometimes.
While not as high as those perennial kids' concerns like bullying and social pressures, it is nonetheless true for most families in cities and suburbs; for those with higher and lower incomes; across racial groups; and in every region of the country. In short, the worry that kids have over gun violence is reported almost everywhere.
Americans overall report feeling "frustrated" over the political gun debate — more so than any other descriptor they could pick, even more than "angry" and a lot more than "satisfied." And gun violence in particular does rank as a very important issue by nearly two-thirds of Americans.
