MSNBC Poll Undercuts Establishment and Media Gun Control Support

By John Snyder

Titusville, FL –“The MSNBC internet poll shows Americans want gun rights.” “It shows overwhelming support for carrying guns. The survey indicates 88 percent go for constitutional carry.”

Snyder said the television internet survey “comports with scientific polls. They show declining public support for more gun control. They show increasing public support for firearms ownership.”

At the beginning of this year, Snyder noted, “the Gallup Poll indicated that Americans’ dissatisfaction with gun laws was the highest since 2001. It showed an increase in the proportion of those who are dissatisfied and want less strict laws.”

According to Gallup, “the gap between those wanting stricter gun laws and those wanting less strict laws narrowed as a result of a sharp increase in the percentage of Americans who want less strict gun laws, now at 16 percent, up from five percent a year ago.”

“That’s a three fold increase,” said Snyder. “It’s a positive development, from our point of view.”

Snyder said also that “the current internet survey, coming as it does from MSNBC, is doubly significant. After all, MSNBC is the flagship TV gun control outfit in the country

“The 88% figure is a real put down of MSNBC anti-gun policy.”

Snyder stated the survey “also is a real put-down of Mike Bloomberg and other gun grabbers. The New York billionaire is a gun control fanatic. He’s spending tens of millions of dollars to promote gun control. He’s funneling the big bucks through the Bloomberg front groups, Everytown for Gun Safety, Mayors Against Illegal Guns, and Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense

“His latest gambit is this year’s congressional elections. He’s trying to buy Congress. It would be better for America if he’d move to Antarctica.”
