Dear American politicians currently serving in the US Congress, can you even comprehend the meaning of one full line in the US Constitution?!
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
Freedom is upheld with balance, just like the scales of Justice. The actual problem threatening lives in the US isn’t the rights of the people to keep and bear arms, the problem is in the first three words of The Second Amendment, the militia is unregulated.
I fear taking guns away from people would be like Waco Texas times 1,000. Many civilians, police, and FBI could be wounded or killed. Everyone needs to keep their wits and their guns safely and work together if we are going to solve America’s current humanitarian crisis.
The primary problem in focus right now is school shootings, so let's start with what the young man from Florida said. “Why is it easier for a 19-year-old to get a gun than buy alcohol?!”
No child under 21 will be permitted to own a gun or buy ammunition. Just like a beer or wine or a toast shared with a young adult 18-to-20 at a private or family event. Gun lessons at a shooting range, military training at a military school or hunting lessons with a responsible adult should be perfectly normal.
If those kids were not able to walk into K-mart and buy ammunition before the Columbine shooting would our reality with school shootings be different? I bet at least some of the copycat-crimes spreading the violence to other schools would never have happened.
A learner’s permit for learning to hunt, with a responsible adult with a valid hunting license, should be just like getting a learners permit to learn how to drive.
This first law, that should, in my opinion, be a federal law, upheld by the states, just like driver licenses for automobiles. Should be, under 21 = no guns.
I recognize under 21 = no guns, doesn’t ensure that our militias are well regulated. That is where it gets a lot more complicated. But, I will try to simple things up a bit.
First step = sort the types of guns by purpose. 1. Is it a weapon designed for war? 2. Is it a handgun? 3. Is it a hunting rifle?
4. Other, if it doesn’t fit in one of these three categories. Then it’s a toy gun or gun for some occupation or industry like a medical gun, or a gun for slaughtering cows/pigs etc...
As for the toy guns, Like squirt guns, pop-cap guns, b-b guns or a video game gun controllers. I consider these all to be training tools, like training wheels for a bicycle. Regardless of if it's a nail gun for building construction or a toy, if a gun can be mistaken for a weapon we should never wave them around in any public place.
Example: Squirt guns being allowed or not in a public swimming pool/lake in a State or Federal park, it's totally up to the people responsible for that swimming pool or park. P.s. I'm pretty damn sure the majority of city pools don't allow water guns.
I went down this “rat-hole” of a topic because I care more about children than I care about these ‘toys’. If it was up to me, toy-guns and gun-tools would never look like weapons, they would be crazy bright colors with flashing lights (indicator lights) etc... Sorry, off-topic.
Back to adults over 21 with guns types 1. 2. and 3.
2. Handguns. It has been proven that gun accidents happen when a loaded weapon is not stored properly. So, all handguns should have a minimum required lock-box and safety.
3. All hunting rifles should also have childsafe cases and proper storage of shells and tools to make the bullets suited to the type of hunting the rifle is registered for.
1. War weapons. Esp. automatic weapons and bomb shooting guns. The militia who keeps these types of guns should claim 100% responsibility for these weapons as a requirement for them being owned by civilians.
A war gun permit requirement is like the difference between a drivers license for an automobile and a commercial trucking license. Or a pilot's license to fly an airplane or an engineer for a train. The train conductor being like the gun in question is a tank, the airplane like a rocket launcher etc… Parallel responsibility and as obvious as the meme.
Guns should be as well regulated as cars. America needs common sense gun licensing if we are going to uphold The Second Amendment. We can’t keep doing what we are doing, crime syndicate style NRA payouts for lives.
Literally means we pay attention to all the words, not just the half of the sentence we like the best. Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior have mercy America!, forgive us for all the blood spilled, suffering and lives lost because we are such complete macho-idiots, the first three fucking words written in The Bill of Rights, are -- “A well regulated….”
