We need to repeal the second amendment.

Valentine’s Day marks the grim anniversary of three mass shootings – New Rochester (1977, 5 dead, 5 injured), Northern Illinois University (2008, 5 killed, 21 injured), and Parkland (2016, 17 killed, 17 injured).

As of yesterday, two more shootings will be added to the list:

4 students shot at Benjamin E. Mays High School in Atlanta

30 wounded and 1 killed at the Chiefs Super Bowl Parade in Kansas City, Missouri

Another shooting that wounded three police officers in Washington, DC won’t even make the database of “mass shootings” because the minimum number of people shot in order to qualify is four. Another person was shot at the Gardens Mall in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. That won’t count, either.

For years, American liberals have placated the gun-toting regressionists of our nation by insisting we weren’t coming for their guns in our failed attempts to pass meaningful legislation to reduce mass killings.

That facade needs to end, and it’s time we started “coming for the guns.”

In the face of escalating gun violence and the devastating toll it takes on communities across the nation, it's time to reevaluate the relevance and implications of the second amendment.
