The Second Amendment protects the right to own a gun. It doesn’t protect the right to own whatever kind of gun you want. #BanAssaultWeapons

There’s a reason they don’t call them PR-rifles. No one buys an ASSAULT rifle with the intention of promoting peaceful tranquility. Unless of course they are so afraid of the trump right wing base of hate they escalate the hate. But hate never wins. Said the winds of time;) ❤️

Yes! Every citizen should be given a choice of either a water gun or an old fashioned stick gun. Nothing else should be allowed because it is too dangerous
technically in 1788, the term “right to bear arms” meant the right to serve in military, hence “a well regulated militia...”

The ban better include police forces as well!
Agree. People are dying. We ccan be better. #BanAssaultWeapons

The 2nd is about a well regulated militia. Nothing more. Reading it any other way is a false interpretation that was never decided by any Supreme Court before the right wing takeover and the set-up 2008 case followed by the 2010 case. It was a bought and paid for case for profit.

“Well regulated militia” = national guards for each state. Not the police, not the public. The exceptions I’d make are ranchers & those who need a gun to hunt for food. Even then, they get a psych evaluation, and full background check including speaking with family/friends.
