More than half of Americans see the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School last Friday as a sign of broader problems in society, not merely the isolated act of a troubled individual, according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll.
The finding reverses a recent trend in which the public saw mass shootings in Aurora, Colo., and Tucson, Ariz. as aberrations that did not reflect underlying problems in American culture. It comes amid new calls for an assault weapons ban from anti-gun advocates — and from lawmakers, including some who have been devout defenders of the right to bear arms.
