Last night the president called for a vote on pending gun control legislation to rounds of applause. His emotional call to action is driven in part by the media’s push for more gun control. How much is this media push effecting opinions on gun control?
A Gallup poll asking, “Would you like to see gun laws in this country made more strict, less strict, or remain as they are?”, has been asked every year over the past twelve years. The results show that over the past year there have been some major opinion changes (see table below). The increases in “dissatisfied” and “no opinion” would suggest that the constant media attack on the 2nd Amendment is working. Other polls like CBS News Poll show even more support for stricter gun control laws including an assault weapons ban and magazine ban.
Now, I’m not going to argue about how these polls were conducted or the scientific credibility of them. I’m presenting them to show that unless films like ours are made, which will educate the general public on the history and importance of the 2nd Amendment, our elected officials will sacrifice our civil rights in the name public safety without even hesitating.
Your donation is a vote - a vote for upholding our civil rights. Give us the funds to finish this production and we will produce a film that will educate and change minds.
