anti-gun MSNBC host Ali Velshi gave a commentary against the gun rights portion of the Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025 agenda. After taking the opportunity to spread the typical misinformation about guns in America, he brought on anti-gun activist Kris Brown of the Brady Campaign to further trash gun rights activists.

Beginning his commentary, the MSNBC host warned against a Donald Trump presidency. A bit later, he fretted over Trump’s proposal to allow teachers to be armed and cited a poll by Johns Hopkins claiming that only 23 percent of Americans support “civilians” having guns in schools:

And, lastly, Trump’s Agenda 47 calls for arming teachers with guns and, quote, “to support federal funding to hire trained gun owners as armed guards in our nation’s schools,” end quote. This despite a Johns Hopkins survey showing that less than a quarter — only 23 percent of Americans — support allowing civilians to carry guns on school grounds.

But other polling specifically about training school staff to carry guns for security finds substantially more support for more use of guns for school security.

A bit later, after bringing up conservative opposition to abortion, Velshi snidely suggested that Republicans only care about children until after they have been born:

And with classrooms increasingly resembling maximum security prisons, consider this: Project 2025 refers to abortion acts as, quote, “the grotesque culture against the child in the womb,” end quote, I’ll respect — I’ll repeat that: “the grotesque culture against the child in the womb.” It seems, though, once children are out of the womb, the GOP is practically content with having them fend for themselves in the face of unchecked gun violence.
