In just a short period of time, the newly-formed organization has gained momentum amongst college students ages 18 to 24 and garnered more than 15,000 followers across various social media platforms.<\/p>\n<p>The message is simple: the anti-gun left continually launches attacks at law-abiding gun owners. They want to ban commonly-owned firearms, like the AR-15, and make universal background checks a reality. But the young adults are fighting back for their Second Amendment rights.<\/p>\n<p>A montage of various students explains exactly why the organization was started.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Every day on college campuses across America, students like me are demonized, attacked and silenced by the &#8216;tolerant&#8217; left,&#8221; students in the montage explain. &#8220;But we have something they don&#8217;t have: facts. So-called &#8216;universal&#8217; background checks will never be universal because criminals do not comply with the law. Despite the narrative being pushed by the anti-gun left, unintentional firearm fatalities among young people are near historic lows.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Americans regularly use firearms for self-defense up to over one million times per year. There has never been a more important time for students like me to speak out,&#8221; the narrators explained. &#8220;We are law-abiding Americans and we demand the freedom to defend ourselves. So let us be clear to all anti-gun extremists trying to destroy our rights: you will never succeed. We will always fight back.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;And, by the way, my rights don&#8217;t end where your feelings begin,&#8221; the students said. &#8220;Come and take it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Students for 2A Tell Anti-Gunners to &#8216;Come and Take It Not even three weeks ago the National Rifle Association (NRA) conducted a soft launch of the Students for 2A group at Turning Point USA&#8217;s Student Action Summit.
