“We’ve seen unprecedented abuses of the First Amendment since 2020. COVID-19 demonstrated how easily citizens would surrender the right to assembly, religious practices, and speech. Various states criminalized 1^st Amendment rights across the nation. Wyoming was a wrong Supreme Court decision away from joining the abusers. The nationwide abuse of the Bill of Rights clearly emphasizes the importance of our 2nd Amendment being the guarantor of the others.”
