Facts matter...(not to MSDNC but fakeCNN gets it) CNN Admits Majority Don’t Want More Gun Control Inconvenient Truth: CNN Admits Majority Doesn't Want More Gun Control! You can't tune into Morning Joe nowadays without hearing it trumpeted that somewhere between 85-90% of Americans want more gun-control laws. But over on CNN, Wednesday morning's New Day was telling an inconvenient truth. Check out how co-host John Berman framed matters. You might normally expect him to present things from a strongly pro-gun control perspective, but this is how he teed up Enten: "One thing you hear is that around 90% of Americans support background checks, but does that tell the whole story about how much agreement there really is? . . . Maybe not exactly what you think." They pointed to a Gallup poll showing that a majority of Americans are either satisfied with the current level of gun control—or actually want less gun control! Enten displayed numbers showing that only 36%, barely one-third,of Americans, want more gun control, whereas 54% are satisfied with current laws or want less gun control! Enten also cited two recent state referendums on background checks. He noted that in Maine, the proposal to expand background checks was actually defeated, and in Nevada, passed with the slimmest of margins, at barely over 50%. Summing up, Enten said: "So you look at those polls that say background check: 80%, 90%! When you look at people actually voting on the measure, it's not anywhere close to that! It's much more of a 50/50 proposition." Meanwhile, back at Morning Joe, it's more gun control, all the time.
