"The vast majority of Democrats also support banning all semi-automatic weapons.
More than a third of the Democratic party would do away with the Second Amendment, a survey by The Economist and YouGov revealed.
Even 21 percent of the American public would support that plan, according to the study.
The poll was conducted from February 25-27, while the nation was still reeling from the school shooting in Parkland, Fla., that killed 17 earlier last month.
...The survey also showed that a majority of Democrats, 82 percent, are in favor of banning semi-automatic weapons, which include handguns as well as rifles. 
Only slightly over half of Republicans, 53 percent, are against this proposal.
...Half of the general population said that gun purchasers should be required to pass a mental examination before walking away with a firearm, with 68 percent of Democrats and 41 percent of Republicans supporting this idea."
