School Shooting and Second Amendment

Can you find a case of school shooting anywhere in history of mankind, except in our country? Yet, this is a recurring tragedy for us. We have lost countless young children, killed by children. It is hard to imagine an adult doing something that, but then they do it as it happened in Las Vegas.

The second amendment had a single purpose. When the government could not have weapons more sophisticated than us, it was meant to stop a dictator taking over the country by appointing people loyal to him at sensitive positions. Well, what can we do against a single tank? Besides, we have past the era of someone being able to put together a gang of loyal appointees.

In other words, the era of second amendment is over. Any more it is a nuisance used by some for making money while pouring miseries into our lives.

Consider that, a hunting rifle is not designed to massacre animals, because we care about them, and that, it is not in the spirit of sports to throw a grenade in the middle of a herd of deer.

Beyond hunting rifles, there is no reason to have any kind of weapon sold in stores. In addition, if the child of someone owning the rifle uses it to cause damage, the consequences go to the owner, not the child.

There will always be those who love to own weapons and feel that they are somebody. There are also those who will do anything for money, such as telling us stories of how the lack of a gun in a bank robbery stopped her from saving lives. Finally, there will always be representatives that will look for the interests of the rich. If the second amendment was meant to do anything, it is to stop these kind of people, and redefine itself. No guns other than hunting rifles can be sold in stores, period. No one can legally posess any other kind of weapon, except in accordance to their job responsibilities. Once their job ends, so does their access to guns.

Since all the gun problems can be solved by electing representatives that care about our lives, it is time to "Boo" whoever claims to be "The Second Amendment Person". Enough is enough.
