No source measures how Michigan gun owners would respond to eliminating the Second Amendment, so the 40% figure is not corroborated. The only source with the 40% figure is Jonathan Turley's October 15, 2026 post repeating it, which is circular, and the EPIC-MRA polls cover general gun-control attitudes rather than this question.

The host relays this claim without endorsing it. It counts as passed on, not against the post.

This claim is about the present, so it is judged as of the day it was checked.

That tweak would be the elimination of the Second Amendment, the right to bear arms. He notes 40% of Michiganders who own guns might find this more than just a bit tweaky.

What we found

Context. The only source containing the 40% figure is Jonathan Turley's X post, which repeats the claim without citing any underlying poll or data, so it cannot corroborate it.[2]

Context. The EPIC-MRA and related Michigan polls address gun-control measures, gun-owner views on background checks, and rights versus gun violence, but none asks whether gun owners would oppose eliminating the Second Amendment or reports a 40% figure for that question.[1][3][4][5]

Context. The extracted claim's wording ('would oppose') is a reasonable paraphrase of the post's 'might find this more than just a bit tweaky,' so the claim is graded on its substance; the sources still do not measure it.
