Second Amendment needs to be re-defined for the modern times
Dear Editor,
It is my notion that the right to bear arms is very similar to the right to smoke; they both have a cancerous effect that contributes to the decay in modern society. We as a society can continue to ignore and look the other way with temporary fixes that give the appearance of seriousness; however, the reality is: there are too many guns in the US; and our too-many-guns are being turned on us.
I believe all the suggested legislation on the table as of now might make it difficult to sell certain weapons; yet, it does not address the ability to steal weapons and really determine what type of individual will snap and commit violence. In my opinion, unless the Second Amendment is re-defined for the modern times, all legislative attempts to reduce violence may be futile.
plz stay in Mass and keep your liberal, economically disastrous contempt there as well
There is no right to smoke enshrined in the Constitution, that’s a silly comparison. The Founding Fathers included the Second Amendment as a way to protect us from a tyrannical government.
