Young voters see gun control as a pressing issue for November and are looking for candidates with solutions to gun-related deaths. In Georgia, the Apalachee shooting has reinvigorated concerns about the state’s gun policies and activist organizations have mobilized on the issue, pushing students to protest for gun control initiatives and to get out the vote.
The presidential race presents young voters with two vastly different policy agendas for gun ownership. Trump, who is endorsed by the National Rifle Association, has repeatedly claimed that Democrats would take away people’s firearms and has framed himself as a defender of gun rights. Even after two apparent assassination attempts and increasing concerns about his safety, Trump hasn’t reversed his pro-gun policies, and he plans to roll back Biden-era gun restrictions.
Harris, on the other hand, supports universal background checks, banning assault weapons, and other measures to control the sale of firearms. It seems she has tried to position herself as a moderate on the issue, pointing out that both she and her running mate Tim Walz own firearms.
Younger voters are more likely to side with Harris on gun policy. Sixty-two percent of Americans ages 18 to 29 think the US should have stricter gun laws, according to a 2024 poll from the Pew Research Center.

It’s all about abortion. Harris supporters top issue is “health care.” That’s a euphemism they use for abortion and mutilating perfectly fine body parts.
Their second top issue is SCOTUS appointments. In other words, it’s still abortion.
Then we have abortion basically tying the economy for third place. These people are so lost. It’s sad to watch. Their brains have been turned to mush from the constant propaganda. Notice how abortion is even more important to them than the cLiMaTe cRiSis. “How dare you!” (*insert Greta voice*)
