Protesters wearing masks of presidential candidates Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump march with a group of cannabis advocates on the final day of the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia on July 28.
Trump is a staunch gun rights supporter and often talks about the issue on the campaign trail.

By contrast, about two-thirds (64%) of Trump supporters say the election of a woman as president would be not too or not at all important.
