For the National Rifle Association, no American is too young to join in their absolutist defense of the Second Amendment — and that includes Kindergarteners.
As the NRA corruption trial began in Manhattan this month, the gun-rights lobby started accepting submissions from children grades K-12 for its 2024 “What the Second Amendment Means To You” youth essay contest.
The annual contest encourages children to engage in “scholarly research on the Second Amendment as well as reflect on how the Second Amendment and other Constitutional rights affect their daily lives,” as the gun lobby described it in a 2016 blog.
Leaving aside the oddness of asking the youngest of grade-schoolers how the Constitutional right to bear arms affects them personally, the contest raises alarms for gun-control advocates.
On the upside most of them are pretty fucking horrified about school shooting drills, so they at least have a bit of an uphill battle.
How does the second amendment affect the lives of K-12 students? Maybe look at our school shooting statistics and get your answer???
so gross.
nra is crontrolled ops
How does it affect kids in school? They should be receiving a bunch of letters describing having to worry about one of their peers showing up to their school with a gun and fucking shooting them. They literally have to fear for their own lives and safety in order to receive an education. How else does the second ammendment affect fucking children?

Genius line of thinking there.
There are many national issues we face that one cannot shoot.at.
That country would look like Syria in your delusional reality
