They hate the baby boomers and aren't fond fo Gen X, many of them are educated (albeit with the accompanying debt), and they have grown up with a very different world view because they grew up with the internet, smartphones etc. If we don't fix the problem in 15-20 years when they are in power they will and it may come in the form of a flat-out gun ban or very heavy regulation. We might be at a moment in history where we fix it or regret it dearly later.
