(The Center Square) – Americans trust armed citizens more than law enforcement to stop mass shooters, according to a new poll.
Convention of States Action, along with the Trafalgar Group, released the poll Monday, showing that 41.8% of surveyed voters “believe that an armed citizen would be their best protection if caught in a mass shooting event.”
Only 25.1% say local police would be their best protection, while 10.3% said, federal agents. About a quarter of those surveyed said “none of the above.”
The poll found that 62.2% of those surveyed “are not confident their local law enforcement and government officials could identify and stop a violent person before they started a mass shooting.”
The survey comes on the heels of the tragic shooting in Uvalde, Texas, where law enforcement has been heavily criticized for taking more than an hour to confront the shooter inside an elementary school...........
