Gun Control Reform Activism

is as many guns as desired for everyone, everywhere, at anytime. Even Antonin Scalia in Heller pointed out that gun regulation is well within the scope of the Second Amendment, but the Trump ammosexuals (and their DU apologists) keep screaming "freedom," and "liberty," and that only they can protect the Republic from tyranny by being armed all of the time in order to be able to water the tree of Liberty with blood. This is the same mindset that brought on the Civil War, and for many of the same racist, bigoted reasons.

And then, of course, there is the self-protection argument which they claim can only be accomplished with a high-powered, semi-automatic handgun or an AR-15. The Second Amendment, as written, has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with self-protection, but speaks of a "well regulated militia" and the "security of a free state." The right-wing NRA has morphed that concept into "stand your ground" and state-sanctioned vigilantism. Somebody is in the process of stealing your lawn mower? Kill them with your handy-dandy "self protection" gun. It's all good.

You are exactly spot on about the easy availability and proliferation of guns. A gun should be at least as hard to get as a driver's license, and the gun itself should be registered the same as an automobile -- including the insurance requirements. These are not "infringements," but a common sense approach to the public health issue of ever increasing and prevalent gun violence.
