Maxwell Frost, a 25-Year-Old Gun Control Activist, Heads to Congress Today to Demand That Congress Pass the M2A2 Gun Control Act
March is National Gun Control Month. This year it’s happening right before America’s most controversial government spending bill, the continuing resolution to keep the government funded until April 15. (Some of you may be looking at the title of this post, “M2A2”, and thinking, That’s a mouthful and I’ve heard of “M2A” before.

If that sounds like a big deal to you and you didn’t know that an activist was pushing for gun control, it’s because the government spends so much time pushing for gun control that you actually don’t need to know all the arguments to understand that an attack on gun rights is an attack on liberty—a fundamental principle of freedom.

When a pro-gun person or group comes to Congress and says, “Hey guys, I was wrong about the NAA,” they’re just lying.
The truth is that the NAA, passed by Congress with overwhelming majorities in both houses, was written in a way that allows the government to circumvent our Second Amendment rights with absolutely zero oversight. It’s that simple. This is the fundamental reason for the NDAA.
The legislation is so badly written that it will virtually guarantee that gun owners will still have full Second Amendment rights, even if they’re not allowed to purchase any new guns. It
