49% of millennials say it's more important to protect gun rights... [View all]

From NPR

Of all the age groups, millennials are the most supportive of same-sex marriage, the legalization of marijuana, and a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants by a wide margin. But their views on gun control and abortion are no more liberal than previous generations that Pew studied. Forty-nine percent of millennials say it's more important to protect gun rights than control gun ownership, a figure that is roughly at par with the attitudes of older generations.


Today, I have repeatedly read, how the "younger generation" was so anti gun that they, would be the political force behind strict gun control in the future...
