The 2nd amendment right to right to bear arms does not supercede citizens' rights to be protected from gun violence. Enact national legislation, including a constitutional amendment, that specifically calls for the right to establish and expand protections for all citizens from gun violence.
Why is this important?
Nineteen mass shootings in five years--no action. The typical gun rights advocates respond in the same way--more guns are the answer, any gun control represents a violation of their 2nd amendment rights, do not politicize the tragedy, and then we're stuck again. I propose to change the debate. One's right to own a gun does not supercede other's rights to be protected from gun use and gun violence. Therefore, I propose national "Protection from Gun Violence" be presented throughout the country as a potential Amendment to the Constitution.
