Guns, Latinos and the 2024 Election

Gun violence is a top voting issue for Latinos and Latinas this election cycle. So to explore how Latines are thinking about the topic, we traveled to Texas. The Lone Star State has more registered guns than any other state in the country, and it’s also home to some of the worst mass shootings in U.S. history — many of them directly targeting Latinos and Latinas.On this episode of Latino USA, producer Reynaldo Leaños Jr. travels to El Paso, Texas to speak with Latinx activists and gun owners about gun reform and safety ahead of the November presidential election. Maria Hinojosa returns to Uvalde, Texas to catch up with a survivor of the mass shooting at Robb Elementary and see how the community has been mobilizing around gun reform.This story is part of our ongoing political coverage “The Latino Factor: How We Vote."You can read more about the episode here. Subscribe to our newsletter by going to the top of our homepage. Follow us on TikTok and YouTube. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
