10. The future of the 2nd amendment
Fri Mar 1, 2024, 09:12 AM
Mar 2024

The 2nd amendment is seen as untouchable by many people in politics.

However, nothing is set in stone. If there's enough of a popular uprising against our endless cycle of mass shootings and attempts by the right to keep the gun industry and dealers from accountability, then the 2nd amendment could be repealed or modified. We've amended our constitution in the past - alcohol prohibition and its repeal is just one example.

Republican connections to the gun industry need to be emphasized more. For example, NC Congressman Ted Budd owns a gun store that has been cited in FBI documents as one of several dealers in the state that account for the most guns eventually used in violent crimes.

Budd and other Republicans have suppressed reporting of information on specific gun dealers and how their weapons are used in violent crime.
