LANSING, Mich. (Michigan News Source) – In an exclusive WDIV-TV/Detroit News poll condicted by the Glengariff Group, Michiganders overwhelmingly supported the new gun control measures introduced by legislators in the House and Senate – and are agreeable to even more.

The poll was conducted from March 1st through the 4th, only 16 days after the shooting on the campus of Michigan State University. 600 registered voters were surveyed, with a majority agreeing with current pending gun control legislation in addition to new bills being discussed, including a 14-day waiting period to buy firearms and limits on magazine capacity.

75% of those surveyed said they would favor a 14-day waiting period to buy a gun and 60% want a capacity limit on magazines with no more than 10 bullets at a time. 55% agreed with banning semiautomatic “assault” weapons.

The poll, which surveyed 37% Democrats and 36% Republicans, reported a margin of error of plus or minus four percentage points.

Richard Czuba of the Glengariff Group talked about the evolution on gun control issues and says that voters want “some limitations” placed on how people get guns.

With Democrats in the majority in the House and Senate as well as a Democratic Governor in Michigan, the chances of gun control legislation passing in the state is far greater than it’s been in a long time.

Joyce Seglin, a survey participant, wants action after what she says have been too many shootings in the country. She said, “…it’s time to make some bigger steps.”

The bills that have already been introduced by Michigan legislators include new storage standards for guns in people’s homes, red flag laws and criminal background checks. All of these bills are supported by the survey responders. 88% of the survey participants want background checks, 80% want penalties for people who don’t lock up their guns at homes and keep them away from minors, and 75% supported red flag laws.

But the current bills aren’t enough for some legislators. Sen. Stephanie Chang (D-Detroit), Chair of the Senate’s Civil Rights, Judiciary and Public Safety Committee, says,  “I am hopeful that we can pass these three sets of bills soon. And then, we can move on to identify what are the other gun violence prevention measures that also have support and would also make a difference in terms of saving lives.”

State Rep. Steve Carra (R-Three Rivers) is a vocal opponent of legislation concerning gun control. He thinks that polling numbers would be different if Michiganders heard both sides of the argument. He also said a waiting period would infringe on the rights of Michigan residents to own firearms. He said, “I took an oath to defend the Constitution. I take that seriously.”

Raising the minimum age from 18 to 21 to purchase a gun is also something that is being considered and received the support of those in the survey with 74% agreeing that Michiganders should be 21 to buy a gun with the exception of those using them for agricultural or hunting purposes.

Democrats appear to have many other gun control bills in the works according to Sen. Rosemary Bayer (D-West Bloomfield Twp) who pointed out an additional measure to ban “ghost guns.” About the legislation already introduced, she said, “It is a great place to start.”

Brock Star disagrees. A participant in the survey and a gun owner, he doesn’t agree with the current legislation being offered or the new ones being discussed. He said about the waiting period, “A right delayed is a right denied” and he says not everyone has the money to buy a safe for their weapons.

Star is one of the 56% of the participants in the survey who said that someone in their household owned a gun. In addition to that, about 51% of the survey participants said they knew someone with a student at Michigan State University or who worked at the college.
