The Second Amendment, A Well Reasoned Interpretation-Part 2
our neighborhood street, or the crowed street of our nations largest cities; tired of the seize mentality that seems to be gripping every public building, in every city, in every state of the Union; tried of electing senators and congressmen who never do the peoples business, but instead do the bidding of special interest groups while our children’s blood runs down the halls of our schools, and the gutters of our streets; tired of the malice and lack of common sense that seems to cling to this issue like gangrene eating away at the very flesh of our society; tired of the constant wrangling between Congress and the President over what would appear to be straight forward common sense solutions; tired of the lack of leadership from those whom we elect and pay to assume it; and lastly I am personally tired of the NRA and its militant stance and juvenile self-serving rhetoric!
What we need is a national solution to what is clearly a national problem; and that calls for bold unflinching national leadership. And that national leadership has to come from the President and Congress working in concert, leaving aside partisan politics for once and putting the nations General Welfare first! How many innocent deaths are too many before positive action is taken?
So having stated the forgoing, I would like to propose a new amendment to the United States Constitution; for those who do not know what number we are on, it would be the 28th. The Amendment—which I have taken the liberty to draft, and can be read below—would repeal the second Amendment in its entirety and replace it with the 28th Amendment (see Enclosure One). I will not attempt to synopsize the Amendment, but instead let the reader draw his or her own conclusions about it content and meaning. This I believe is the only way to once and for all put an end to this debate!
