Weapon availability to the peopleArticle 1: Weapons shall only be permitted to people of the age 21 and older with mental testing done before the gun is given to that person, with additional psych testing every 5 years.
Article 2: The purpose of this amendment is to put an end to gun violence throughout the United States of America. There is so much gun violence in the United States that by 2020, there will be 45,222 deaths in the United States alone. In a single year, that figure increased by 14%. If you don't think that is a problem, 14 percent in one year is a huge increase. Another reason for this law is the number of school shootings that have occurred, not because the shooters were "crazy," though they were, and the fact that they were able to purchase a gun in that state is outrageous. In 2022, there have been a total of 113 school shootings. Article 3: They claim that this takes away their second amendment rights, but it still follows the amendment; it just protects it better. You are still allowed to keep and bear arms. This amendment simply makes it a little more secure. When the founding fathers drafted these amendments, they used muskets that took forever to reload and fire a shot; there were no automatic weapons. Another point of view is that automobiles kill people. Why not prohibit them as well? This makes no sense because cars, unlike guns, were not designed to cause harm to people. |
