BELLEVUE, WA – With the presidential election just a few days away, polling data published by Fox News shows former President Donald Trump up by 6 points on a key issue for many voters: Gun rights.

“This is a critical issue for millions of likely voters across the country,” said Alan Gottlieb, chairman of the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms. “I believe gun owners could provide the winning difference in many parts of the country, especially key battleground states such as Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, Wisconsin and Arizona.”
As the race heads into its home stretch, with various polls showing it to be neck-and-neck between Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris, Gottlieb said this underscores the critical need for gun owners to vote.
“The future of our Second Amendment is on the line next Tuesday,” he stressed. “America’s gun owners have the opportunity to make the difference. Elections matter and they have consequences. The next president will make judicial appointments, which could include filling Supreme Court vacancies. It is imperative that gun owners keep this in mind when casting their ballots. The next president will appoint heads of the Justice Department, FBI and ATF. These people will set policies directly affecting America’s hunters, competitive shooters and all men and women who own, or hope to buy, guns to protect their families and homes.
“It should be clear by now which candidate has the interests, and rights, of gun owners as a priority and who doesn’t,” he observed. “Kamala Harris has a history of supporting restrictive gun ban and control policies, and despite her claim to be a gun owner, when it comes to Second Amendment issues, she can’t shoot straight. Her running mate, Tim Walz—despite his reputation as an avid hunter—recently demonstrated in a video he has trouble loading his own shotgun.
“Trump has already shown his preference for appointing judges, including Supreme Court justices, who adhere to the Constitution,” Gottlieb noted, “and the next four years are certain to provide more opportunities to fill important vacancies up and down the court ladder.
“Gun owners need to vote,” he said. “This is not the time to let apathy and lethargy keep you away from the polls. The Second Amendment matters now more than ever.”
