Another week. Another mass shooting with an assault rifle. It is clear we will never be able to preserve and defend the United States’ Constitution with an individual’s “right” to own an assault weapon regardless of age, criminal background, or mental fitness.
Aristotle said “…a spur-of-the-moment choice has to be based on character.” Yet we repeatedly arm those of questionable character with weapons of mass destruction. And when they spontaneously commit heinous acts, we say it is not the time to have the talk. This is a specious argument when these attacks happen on an on-going basis.
Now it is the time. Anyone saying otherwise is defending his or her own prurient self-interest.
No one should own one of these weapons without a complete background check which would constitute a waiting period.
No one under the age of 30 should own them.
Private owners must be licensed, bonded, and insured. Any unjustified death or destruction resulting from the use or misuse of a privately owned weapon is the liability of the insured.
That would constitute the definition of “well regulated.”
High capacity clips must be banned, as should any substance or chemical which has the sole purpose of killing as many human beings in as short amount of time as possible.
The Constitution of The United States is not a license to kill.
