The National Rifle Association intimidates politicians. With no action or protective laws to counter domestic attacks, America quakes in fear of more weapon slaughter in the hands of reckless, misled, confused and weak minded boys and immature men.
As I wrote in my last post, it's not the guns that kill innocent people in all walks of life. It's the powerful ammunition that is back firing and causing nationwide chaos and suffering. We the government must control our own nation's warfare against one another. By the way, automatic weapons are not needed to shoot game or to carry out law and order. These type of arms don't belong on the streets of America the beautiful.
Getting back to the Constitution, our founding fathers and mothers, advising the leaders. meant the right to bear or carry guns. They didn't infer powerful ammunition of today. They were only familiar with musket balls and muskets.
But the most vital thing about the colonial leaders was their profound wisdom. Thomas Jefferson who wrote these United States Declaration of Independence and contributed to the thinking behind the establishment of the Constitution, also wrote "Constitutions and laws of order are written for the people of their own time, only." However, the seasons of man on Earth change and need to be adjusted to fit modern times.
President Jefferson added, "The Constitution and its amendments need to be updated every 34 years."
Congress must make laws demanding licenses for bearing and carrying guns allowed only by responsible, accountable citizens. These licenses must take a certain amount of time to procure. For god sake, even banks require at least a month for home owners to procure a loan. Drivers, as well as bickers also must have legal licenses. Beer and wine distributors need to have licenses. And don't forget marriage, hunting and fishing licenses. And they don't even pertain to life or death. Yet we let deranged and radical, extreme racist religionists get free reign to slay at the whim of a clown hat!
Dear ones, we're centuries behind Father Time!
