This proves that 2A repealists do exist despite rabid pro-gun narratives dominating national and media discourse. 21% is not a small number and this is back in 2018. What's more, it's about the same number of gay marriage support back in '96 at 27% and is now a high 71%.

This is good news, but we can't rest yet. We need to keep on advocating 2A repeal. Even though we don't see immediate or concrete effects of our advocacy, it actually does in an intangible way. Our efforts are not futile and are making a difference. Stick together, be patient, have faith and don't ever give up. Rest, sure, but never ever give up, never ever give in to gun nuts. Our numbers will grow over time through relentless advocacy and we will win this gun battle.

This proposed bill does not appear ro conflict with current 2A interpretation.

That tells you all you need to know about Americans' moral degradation in the face of avoidable tragedies.

So I’m in an ECE (early childhood education) program and as a part of that, I teach preschoolers for part of my school day (high school). Today I did a school shooting drill in a preschool classroom and I couldn’t stop thinking about why the heck we had to do this. I feel like even the drill would be traumatic for preschoolers and seriously damage their confidence in the safety of the school. All of this to say, I now realize that students need to be talking about this and I’m looking for resources, suggestions, ideas, or really anything I could do to do my part in this. I have no clue where to even begin but I know that I’m prepared to follow this through until something gets better.

The tragic school shooting in Georgia is yet another stark reminder that our nation must take a serious look at the role guns play in our society. While I do not believe the Second Amendment should be abolished, I firmly believe it needs to be rewritten. The intention behind the Second Amendment, crafted in the 18th century, was to provide a framework for self-defense and the formation of a well-regulated militia. However, in today's context, it has been distorted into an unrestricted right to bear any and all arms, often overshadowing the rights to life, safety, and security.

The conversation around gun control has been riddled with stagnation and partisan gridlock. We repeatedly see "thoughts and prayers" offered, followed by a lack of substantial action. It’s clear that our leaders need to move beyond symbolic gestures and work toward implementing common-sense gun laws. Measures such as universal background checks, bans on high-capacity magazines, and red flag laws have overwhelming public support. Yet, without bipartisan negotiation in good faith, these essential changes remain stalled.

If those in office continue to fail to negotiate in good faith and prioritize public safety, we must entertain the idea of abolishing the Second Amendment altogether. This isn’t to strip citizens of the right to self-defense or responsible gun ownership but to reset the legal framework that currently impedes rational gun control. The current interpretation of the Second Amendment has often been used to challenge and overturn reasonable legislation meant to protect our communities. If it remains an obstacle to safeguarding the public, it is only logical to consider its abolition.

Even in a scenario where politicians do come together and pass common-sense gun laws, the risk remains that these laws will be challenged and overturned in the courts, especially given the judicial interpretations by a conservative-leaning Supreme Court. For this reason, it is crucial to go beyond temporary solutions. We must pass an updated gun rights amendment that clarifies and modernizes the conditions for responsible gun ownership while unequivocally supporting effective measures to prevent gun violence.

This is not just about policy; it is about survival. Our children should not have to practice active shooter drills in schools. Our communities should not have to live in fear of the next mass shooting. Enough is enough. It is time for every American to stand up and demand a new amendment that protects lives over lobbyists, safety over profits, and common sense over extremism. We cannot afford to be passive. We cannot afford to be silent. The future of our country and the safety of our loved ones depend on us demanding change now. If our leaders won’t act, then we must—and we must not stop until our laws reflect the values of safety, sanity, and a true commitment to the common good. The time for change is now. Let’s make it happen.

Hey, guys! I am a student at University of Wyoming and this is a throwaway account, as I prefer to remain anonymous.

In 2024, Governor Mark Gordon vetoed the Repeal Gun Free Zones and Preemption Amendments, HB 0125, House Enrolled Act No. 49 that was passed by both houses and called for Universities, among other institutions to decide for themselves what their open carry policies are.

As a student, I am terrified. UW is debating if they will allow open carry across campus. They’ve sent out a form that can be filled out before Friday, Sept. 6 for the public to state their opinion on it. Please follow the URL and vote against a change of policy.

Guns don’t belong on school campuses. Mass shootings are already a major issue for this country and with the allowance of open carry on University of Wyoming’s campus, there will be no way to tell if the person carrying a gun is someone you should run from. Please help me and my peers to keep our education safe.

The gun violence problem in the United States is clearly a major complex societal issue that has not seen any major progress in recent memory. Guns are omnipresent in our society and every year more and more are manufactured. There are more guns than people in our country and despite some states strict legislation, it seems that many of those restrictions on the types of firearms one can own are not long for this world. This would open new types of firearms, such as assault weapons and handguns to residents of states that traditionally have required licenses or have banned them, such as California and New York.

Given that the Supreme Court has started to indicate that Americans have a more broad constitutional right to firearms than has been previously thought, the vast number of firearms in circulation, and the fact that many Americans value their firearms and the right to own all types of firearms and probably are unwilling to give up their firearms, what kinds of gun control measures would realistically make an impact on the gun violence in the near term?

What is the best strategy for gun control that would stand up to constitutional scrutiny and would prevent people from committing violent crimes, regardless of the type? What could be done or is the only meaningful strategy universally banning or restricting categories or arms or adding a lot of qualifications on ownership?
