Update the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution so that Americans can own weapons designed for hunting and outlaws all weapons designed for the sole purpose to kill other human beings.
Why is this important?
We need to stop future tragedies like the one that happened in Newton, Connecticut. We, the people have had enough of senseless violence involving guns! Sign this petition to start the amendment process to change the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution to reflect the needs of the modern age. The Second Amendment was designed at a time when militias were needed to protect against tyrannical governments, not to protect individuals from criminal action. We want to keep weapons designed for hunting animals and outlaw all weapons designed with the sole intent to kill other human beings.
