San Francisco’s Board of Supervisors voted to label the NRA a terrorist organization last week.
Out of all voters, 18 percent think belonging to pro-gun rights groups should be illegal, while 23 percent support declaring the NRA a terrorist organization in the communities they live in.
The survey of 1,000 likely voters was conducted on Sept. 5 and Sept. 8. The poll has a margin of error of 3 percent.
This polling comes at a time when gun control has dominated headlines after recent shootings in El Paso, Texas; Dayton, Ohio; and Odessa, Texas.
