Gun-control advocates are seizing opportunities in the current political climate, buoyed by growing public support for tighter gun laws in the wake of mass shootings and ongoing gun violence across the nation. The gun lobby, led by former President Donald Trump, has taken hardline stances that have further galvanized advocates for gun control.
Vice President Kamala Harris recently emphasized that supporting the Second Amendment does not equate to opposing all gun regulations, challenging the false dichotomy often presented in the gun control debate. President Joe Biden is set to address gun violence at an upcoming conference hosted by Everytown for Gun Safety Action Fund.
