Millions of Americans Cast Ballot with Clear Focus on the Future of Self-Defense in America
of Americans who value their Second Amendment rights made their voices heard in record numbers. This historic election centered on a wide range of issues, from kitchen table issues to national security debates. However, for a diverse and growing coalition of voters, gun rights were central to their decision-making.
The U.S. Concealed Carry Association For Saving Lives Action Fund (USCCA-FSL Action Fund), the nation’s leading advocacy organization for responsible gun owners, is proud to have played a role in galvanizing an unprecedented number of voters who are passionate about preserving the constitutional right to bear arms. Our grassroots mobilization efforts helped ensure that thousands of responsible gun owners headed to the polls to cast their ballots and take part in the democratic process – and did so with a clear focus on the future of self-defense policies in America.
Among Americans from all walks of life, continued support for a pro-Second Amendment agenda reflects a deep-seated belief that the right to self-defense is foundational to personal liberty. As communities across the country navigate issues like rising crime rates to social unrest, the ability to protect oneself today is seen as not just a right, but a responsibility.
As the country looks toward a second term for President-elect Donald Trump in 2025, the USCCA-FSL Action Fund is optimistic about the opportunity to strengthen our advocacy in protecting the Second Amendment.
For many gun owners nationwide, one of the most pressing priorities is national concealed carry reciprocity. This much-needed reform would allow concealed carry permit holders to legally carry their firearms across state lines, respecting the rights of law-abiding gun owners regardless of their zip code. This policy would create a uniform standard across the country, enabling gun owners to exercise their right to self-defense wherever they go.
Come January, a new agenda will be set. For the millions of voters who cast their ballots for a pro-2A agenda and a safe and secure America, the decisive results signal a wave of optimism about the future direction of our fundamental right to self-protection.
Thank you for staying informed and involved in the political process this historical election cycle!
