Is there truth to the media’s assertions that early all young Americans hate firearms?

… despite being incubated in left-leaning universities, Generation Y’s (Millennials’) politics are proving to be unpredictable—including being friendlier towards firearm freedom than expected.

The Pew Research Center’s rolling poll of both Generation Y and under-30 (different classifications of essentially the same demographic) shows a years-long rise in support for firearm ownership and a steady decline in opposition. A 2015 Gallup poll indicated only half of America’s under-35 population supported more gun control, and according to one Gallup poll, two-thirds of millennials believe guns make them safer.

One survey indicates 26 percent of millennials have purchased a gun, while other Pew data shows a full 43 percent of the under-30 crowd owns (or lives with someone who owns) a gun—the highest demographic except for adults 65 and older.
