"Fifty-seven percent ( 57 % ) of Americans say gun sales are up in the United States because of a fear of increased government restriction on gun ownership . A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey shows that just 23 % say gun sales have risen because of a fear of increased crime . Twenty-one percent ( 21 % ) are not sure . Sixty-three percent ( 63 % ) of men say the threat of more gun control is behind increased sales , compared to 51 % of women . Fifty-nine percent ( 59 % ) of whites agree , while African-Americans are more closely divided on the question . Similarly , 65 % of Republicans and 66 % of those not affiliated with either major political party say gun sales are up due to a fear of increased government restriction . But a plurality of Democrats agrees by just 10 points . Seventy-one percent ( 71 % ) of Americans believe it is at least somewhat likely that President Obama will seek tougher gun control laws , including 43 % who say it is very likely . In March , 43 % of Americans said the United States needed more gun control laws , but 47 % disagreed . This marked a slight drop in support for more gun control from last year ."
