When it comes to stricter gun-control laws, the nation’s law enforcement isn’t too keen on enforcement.

 

More than 60% of law enforcement personnel don’t think more restrictive guns should be enforced, according to a national survey released this week by PoliceOne.com, an online forum and research site catering to law-enforcement officers.

 

Just over 90% said civilians should have the right to carry concealed firearms, as long as they haven’t been convicted of a felony or deemed mentally or physically unfit, the online survey found. And 95% don’t think a federal ban on manufacture and sale of ammunition magazines would reduce violent crime.
