Key senators are still considering their vote on Chipman, who is keen on helping bring about stricter gun control, following his recent contentious confirmation hearing.<\/p>\n<p>Biden\u2019s proposed legislation for gun control includes a universal background check, as well as a ban and registration program for AR-15s.<\/p>\n<p>Other recent polls have shown that the public\u2019s desire for stricter gun laws has decreased this year.<\/p>\n<p>This apparent change in attitudes comes after Americans purchased more firearms last year than any year on record, with an industry estimate putting the number of new gun owners at more than 8.4 million last year, The Reload reported. And so far in 2021 there has been a further upswing in the purchase of guns.<\/p>\n<p>Quinnipiac\u2019s poll of 1,316 adults, which was carried out between May 18 and 24, has a margin of error of 2.7%. The poll of 1,500 adults by the Economist and YouGov, which was conducted between May 22 and 25, had a margin of error of 2.9%.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Recent polls have indicated that approval of President Joe Biden\u2019s policies on firearms has decreased significantly from earlier in the year and only about a third of Americans now back &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2278914,"comment_status":"close","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/GetFile-87.aspx","fifu_image_alt":"Public Support for Biden&#039;s Gun Policies Dropping in Recent Polls","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-549466","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/GetFile-87.aspx","fifu_image_alt":"Public Support for Biden&#039;s Gun Policies Dropping in Recent Polls","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/549466","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=549466"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/549466\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2278914"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=549466"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=549466"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=549466"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
