SAF: SURVEY SHOWS PUBLIC TRUSTS GOP MORE THAN DEMS ON GUNS<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

BELLEVUE, WA \u2013 The Second Amendment Foundation today pointed to a new Morning Consult\/Politico survey<\/a> finding that the public trusts Republicans more than Democrats on gun policy as an acknowledgement that Americans are rejecting the Democrats\u2019 radical gun control agenda.<\/p>\n

The survey of almost 2,000 registered voters was conducted Nov. 5-7 and revealed that in the top five areas of concern\u2014national security, the economy, gun policy, immigration and jobs\u2014polling results show Democrats trailing.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese survey results are revealing, especially on firearms policies,\u201d said SAF founder and Executive Vice President Alan M. Gottlieb. \u201cAfter years of failed gun control policies, the public has finally concluded that Democrats have only worked to disarm law-abiding citizens and make us more vulnerable to criminal attack. Policies advertised as keeping guns out of the hands of criminals have actually only been tough on their intended victims.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe survey found that 46 percent of all American voters think Republicans do a better job on gun policy, while 39 percent still cling to the notion Democrats have the right approach, but a significant 15 percent are still in the middle,\u201d he continued. \u201cWhen the survey numbers focus on important suburban voters, the numbers get even worse. Forty-seven percent of voters in the suburbs believe Republicans are better on gun policy, while only 37 percent support Democrat schemes, and 16 percent remain undecided.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe ten percent margin in the suburbs is extremely important for the upcoming 2022 midterm elections,\u201d Gottlieb said. \u201cThat is where almost all the swing congressional districts are. This could cost the Democrats between 40 and 60 seats in the House.\u201d<\/p>\n

SAF has run more than 1,000 national TV spots on over 24 cable networks, along with radio advertising and millions of impressions on the Internet have helped educate the public on gun policy and the survey reflects the impact.<\/p>\n

Gottlieb pointed to the election results in Virginia, which signaled a \u201cnew direction in the Old Dominion.\u201d Commonwealth voters filled all statewide offices with Republicans, and put the House back in GOP control following two disastrous years.<\/p>\n

\u201cI anticipate Virginia gun owners will press the new administration and legislative majority to quickly undo the policies adopted by Ralph Northam and his cronies in 2020,\u201d Gottlieb predicted. \u201cThose policies, specifically the destruction of state preemption which guarantees uniformity of gun laws statewide, and the one-handgun-per-month purchase restriction, penalize honest citizens and do nothing to reduce violent crime.<\/p>\n

\u201cDemocrats may have forgotten that right to keep and bear arms is protected by the Constitution,\u201d he concluded. \u201cRights are not up to a public vote, but people who attempt to infringe on those rights certainly are. Voters made that clear in Virginia and are poised to do it again in November 2022.\u201d<\/p>\n
