By almost a 3-to-1 margin, respondents to The Evening Sun's phone survey favor legislation that would require a seven-day waiting period for firearms purchases.
Of 841 callers, 619 (74 percent) think the waiting period should be required; 222 callers (26 percent) oppose the legislation.
The survey represents a sampling of opinions from certain segments of the community, but it is not balanced demographically, as would be done in a scientific public opinion poll.
