In light of increasing crime rates across the United States, 56% of California voters believe that restricting the sale and possession of guns can reduce crime in their community, according to a UC Berkeley Institute of Governmental Studies, or IGS, poll published Thursday.
The survey found that 57% of voters think gun control is more important than upholding the Second Amendment, while 56% view California’s 32-year ban on assault weapons as constitutional.
In June, a federal judge declared the ban unconstitutional, according to a previous article from The Daily Californian.
This decision was later blocked by the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, according to court documents.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation is warning of a Grandparent Fraud Scheme that has accounted for the highest losses in 2020.
In this scheme, the criminal actors will call their elderly victims impersonating a grandchild, family member, or legal representative of the family member, and notify them that they have been arrested and are in need of bail money. A courier will then go in-person to pick up the money from the victim s residence.
A Pentagon police officer died after being stabbed on Tuesday during a burst of violence at a transit center outside the building in the Washington area. The suspect was shot by law enforcement and died at the scene.
