A recent poll found 72 percent of likely voters back the Second Amendment and its protections for Americans who want to own firearms.

That same percentage of respondents believe the Second Amendment is one of the most cherished civil rights in the Constitution. A majority of voters have also said enforcement of current gun laws is more important than passing new restrictive legislation.
