New Poll: 60% Own Guns, Most Oppose Control
Oklahomans are about twice as likely to own guns as their fellow Americans, according to the most recent Oklahoma Poll, and they're not too keen on further regulation of them, either.
The poll was taken by, and reported in, the Tulsa World.
"I'm not for much of any restrictions, except on fully automatic weapons, and that's already there," said Sally Kimsey, a rancher near Wardville in southeastern Oklahoma.
Almost 60 percent of the 752 likely voters surveyed by SoonerPoll.com on April 27-30 said they own guns. That compares to the 32 percent nationally, according to an AP/Ipsos National Public Affairs poll conducted one week earlier.
Fifty-four percent of Oklahoma Poll respondents said they do not believe the U.S. needs stricter gun laws in view of the 33 shooting deaths at Virginia Tech University last month.
