the powerful gun rights lobby group the national rifle association responded by tweeting out the textthe second amendment. the massacre in boulder came just after a colorado judge ruled in favor of the nra's challenge to boulder's ban on assault weapons, which was passed in 2018 after this type of weapon was used in the mass shooting in parkland, florida. the nra celebrated the judge's ruling, saying it was written in a way that will "make it even harder to overturn, should the city appeal it" and that "the principles behind thruling will apply to other localities who are considering passing any similar counterproductive ordinances." none of this is new. despite increasingly regular mass shootings, the nra has pushed for gun rights since the 1970's and insisted that more guns, not fewer, would prevent gun deaths. the nra organized a rally in 1999 in denver after the columbine shooting. after the 2012 sandy hook massacre in connecticut, the nra called for schools to arm themselves. this comes as the nra is now actually in a deeply weakened state. it filed for bankruptcy last year after

the suffrage movement. two new national organizations were formed. the first one was the national women's suffrage association. that was founded by anthony and stanton. they did not support the 15th amendment. they focus their work from that point onward to funding for a constitutional amendment that would give women the right to vote. here we have a petition from the american women's ever just association founded by lucy stone, her husband and other suffragists. they did support the 15th amendment. however, they focus their efforts on women winning the right to vote on the state and local level. they weren't necessarily opposed to a constitutional amendment giving women the right to vote. however, they didn't feel it was -- they weren't very optimistic at the success of a constitutional amendment at this point in time. so one of the really fascinating things about the women's suffrage movement is that after women lost the vote in new jersey in 1807 the first state to give women the right to vote in 1969 was in the west. wyoming was the first territory at the time to get women that vote. they became the first
