Amend by Springtide Press
Jessica Spring: "It seems we barely have time to grieve and another mass shooting is announced. While politicians respond with 'thoughts and prayers' and continued debate over gun control, nothing seems to change. There are simply too many guns in our country, many designed for military use so powerful they massacre innocent victims in seconds. The Second Amendment, written in 1791, is constantly used to defend the rights of gun owners. Amend is my attempt to rewrite the Second Amendment, honoring our collective right to be free of gun violence.
"A portion of each sale will be donated to the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence."
