More than 20 Ohio counties rejected Issue 1 on Tuesday and most of them were suburban and exurban counties that voted for Donald Trump in 2020.

I am predicting the same will occur with guns once today's children age.

These kids are doing active shooter drills as often as a fire drill.

I cannot imagine this will result continued moderation on the gun issue.

I predict revocation of the second amendment to be our next constitutional amendment.

That's ridiculous. You would need 3/4 of the 50 states to ratify that change. There are way too many pro-2A red states for that to ever happen.

Throwing away your rights is the dumbest thing you could vote for. They don't just give out new rights regularly, it takes a lot of fighting and effort to get rights.

I think the right not to be shot is a weeee more important than the right to be the shooter.

Well I'm glad your opinion on it doesn't matter, because our gun rights are practically set in stone at this point. The gun cases getting appealed to the SC will be fun to watch.

We all have a right not to be shot, and this is protected by the laws against murder and assault. In the USA we also have the right to bear arms, which is a crucial freedom in the long term scope of democracy and in the short term for self defense.
