Retired Supreme Court Justice Stevens ignited a controversy by calling for the repeal of the Second Amendment in a New York Times opinion column.
Trump tweeted that the Second Amendment will never be repealed and he is right.
Here are some opinions from New York Times readers.
Stevens’s appeal is not helpful to meaningful discussions on gun control. It feeds into right-wing paranoia. Most people do not want to repeal the Second Amendment. I would vote in favor of it but it’s not a priority since it would never have much support.) That’s not the issue. Gun control advocates want universal background checks, bans on assault weapons and other specific items that would reduce gun violence. This is just a distraction. Sad!
