Frequently Asked Questions

What is the perceived new strategy of the NRA?

The NRA is reportedly adopting a more direct, assertive, and even antagonistic tone in its communications, actively confronting gun control advocates rather than engaging in softer rhetoric. This shift is seen as a response to evolving cultural demands within the Second Amendment community.

What did journalist Mike Spies suggest as a solution to gun violence?

Mike Spies, writing for The Trace, suggested that to truly reduce gun violence, measures akin to Australia's firearm confiscation and bans, including handguns, would be necessary. He also characterized the individual right to bear arms as a "new idea."

How has the Supreme Court addressed the Second Amendment?
