Weapons

 A never disappearing political item is guns. Comments about gun ownership can make or break the career of a politician. There are numerous theories about gun ownership in this country and every time a mass shooting happens politicians come out for or against it.

NRA claims it is not guns that kill people it is people. With such idiotic statement they want to justify gun ownership. Every mayor, governor or president have their own beliefs about gun ownership. Each and every one swears that under their authority gun purchases are becoming more and more difficult. Yet, the shootings keep continuing. They are not taking under consideration that bad people will always have the means to get guns.

The Second Amendment of the United States Constitution reads: "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." This was written in 1776. Today it is 2023.  247 years later we are still hanging on to an ancient document. I don't think this is normal.

The entire amendment should be stricken and outlaw all kind of firearms, except what is needed for hunting.
