Millennials are not moving away from gun rights

There are plenty of areas among our social issues where conservatives rightly fret over the fact that the rising generation of millennials and our youngest voters skew considerably more liberal. Questions over gay marriage, for example, have a definite generational bias in most polling averages. But when it comes to gun rights is that pattern holding true? There’s a hopeful bit of analysis at the Washington Post today from Catherine Rampell who expresses her confusion (and perhaps dismay?) over the trends indicating that younger people are, if anything, more supportive of gun rights in most instances than their elders

Well, mostly okay news. Downside, they don't have as much an issue with federal data base of gun owners. Need to work on them on that one.

It usually becomes clear once they get a real job and see how much of their hard earned $ get syphoned off by the govt.

I just recently gave my millennial 25 year old daughter a sneak peak/test fire of her Taurus .380 Christmas present.

She was excited!

Hey, she's a girl and likes purple :-)

Great point!!!

Now, do you want the same gov’t who just withheld a big chunk of YOUR paycheck....to tell you that you can’t own a gun, to protect yourself against radicals that the gov’t is importing?

Does TCP stand for Taurus Christmas Present?

Well, I’ll tell her it does :-)

Because they lump gay marriage and gun rights together, as freedom-personal decisions issues.

Even they will question why they can't have the right to defend themselves if some nut who they disagrees with abuses their’s.

If the Islamists take over here gays are going to NEED to be armed to avoid being thrown off of tall buildings.

Just the skinny jean, latte millennials. My typical, country, American millennial sons have quite the arsenal.

“...have quite the arsenal.” Ruh roh. No fly list for them. Or is it the other way around.

THIS Millennial knows his way around a Firearm.

I am Sure The Other Millennial FReepers do too.

We choose to not fly.

Right arm bro! Good for you. There’s still hope.

“Just the skinny jean, latte millennials.”

Those are just the hipster-douchebag subset. ;-)

Yep! My rifle of choice is my Remington SPS 700 chambered in .308 - coyotes all over Wyoming hate it!

I suspect most millennials are more aware of racial strife that I was 25 years ago (since it has gotten so much worse); while in my younger days I thought coexistence was achievable, I no longer have any illusions because of what our young people today witness. The internet has made it impossible to sweep these problems under the rug...
