Americans’ belief in their constitutional right to own a gun and their support for the Second Amendment that guarantees that right remain strong.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 75% of American Adults believe the U.S. Constitution guarantees the right of an average citizen to own a gun. Just 15% disagree. Ten percent (10%) are not sure. These findings are virtually unchanged in surveying since Rasmussen Reports first asked this question 10 years ago.
