Earlier today, President Trump chimed in with his thoughts on Stevens, calls for gun control, and the controversial NYT piece. His feedback can be read in the hereinafter tweet:
THE SECOND AMENDMENT WILL NEVER BE REPEALED! As much as Democrats would like to see this happen, and despite the words yesterday of former Supreme Court Justice Stevens, NO WAY. We need more Republicans in 2018 and must ALWAYS hold the Supreme Court!

More on Guns in America and the Second Amendment
Last month’s Parkland, Florida high school shooting strongly renewed the ongoing debate on guns in the United States. 17 people died in the aforementioned shooting and many of the survivors have moreover come forth with their thoughts on appropriate change. While many liberals have championed calls for stronger gun control, conservatives have taken a different approach.
For instance, the FBI received multiple tips regarding shooter Nikolas Cruz, yet failed to follow protocol. Many right-leaning Americans also believe that the lack of action on the parts of the FBI and Broward County sheriff enabled last month’s shooting.
