None of what you posted is an attack on the Second Amendment, Six. It's an example of people exercising their First Amendment rights in regards to regulation of gun purchases and ownership.
The fact that you, Maggot, and some other gun owners are threatened, offended or upset by the young survivors' passion and opinions doesn't change the fact that Second Amendment guarantees you a right to bear arms, with regulations. And, it doesn't change the fact that others have a guaranteed First Amendment right to push for regulations they believe will keep themselves and others safer.
You can ignore the 'well-regulated' stipulation in the Amendment, and the Supreme Court's ruling that gun ownership is 'not without restrictions', but they're facts. The Supreme Court has confirmed that you have a right to own firearms for self-protection, which isn't being contested by these survivors or the government or the vast majority of the U.S. population. The Supreme Court has also ruled in favor of states choosing to ban certain firearms every time gun owners have appealed a lower court ruling.
Anyway, the students and teachers who are pushing for more gun restrictions after experiencing a mass murder are well within their rights. They're not all in agreement as to what restrictions should be enacted and in what order or priority, but they all want change and they're working together to make it happen. They don't want to die at school and don't want other students and teachers to die at school.
The fact that you and others label them all "lefties who are attacking the Second Amendment" and worse, says way more about you than them, in my opinion.
