Poll showing support for gun reform in TN met with skepticism from state Republicans

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — Vanderbilt released a new poll Wednesday morning showing roughly three-quarters of respondents supporting some sort of red flag law.

“I think it’s a sign that the state, collectively, is a little bit more moderate than our collective state legislature,” said Dr. John C. Geer, a co-director of the poll.

That statistic included over 65% of people who identified as “MAGA Republicans” (as opposed to “non-MAGA Republicans”) that supported a red flag law to minimize school shootings.
