Umpqua Community College

Poll: 2 Out of 3 Americans Say Focus On Mental Health, Not Gun Control

After a week of polls showing the American people reacted to the Umpqua Community College (UCC) shooting with stronger support for gun rights than gun control, a Washington Post-ABC News poll released October 26 shows that an overwhelming majority of Americans also believe Congressional focus ought to be on fixing our mental health system instead of talking about more gun laws.

Lost in this dichotomy is a third and very important category–namely, citizens who are evil or are driven by evil intent.
