The Spin

Left narrative

While the motives behind these shootings are unclear, what is known is that there are many more such tragedies to come. The US experiences mass shootings at an unprecedented level due to lax restrictions on military-style weapons. It's time to adopt common-sense gun safety regulations.

Right narrative

Gun restrictions only curtail the freedoms of law-abiding citizens who have a right to buy, own, and use weapons for lawful reasons under the Second Amendment. Every man or woman must be allowed to protect their family against criminals, who won't be deterred by gun limitations anyway.

Metaculus Prediction

There's a 0.1% chance that the Second Amendment of the US will be repealed or amended before 2025, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
