NYT: Americans With Assault Rifles Should 'Give Them Up For The Good Of Their Fellow Citizens'
Via avordvet
It is a moral outrage and a national disgrace that civilians can legally purchase weapons designed specifically to kill people with brutal speed and efficiency. (So, having ones which kill slower and with more agony would do, correct?) These are weapons of war, barely modified
and deliberately marketed as tools of macho vigilantism and even insurrection. ( I agree with the latter.) America’s elected leaders offer prayers for gun victims and then, callously and without fear of consequence, reject the most basic restrictions on weapons of mass killing, as they did on Thursday. They distract us with arguments about the word terrorism. Let’s be clear: These spree killings are all, in their own ways, acts of terrorism.
It is not necessary to debate the peculiar wording of the Second Amendment. No right is unlimited and immune from reasonable regulation. (We don't need the 2nd, we have a Natural Right) Certain kinds of weapons, like the slightly modified combat rifles used in California, and certain kinds of ammunition, must be outlawed for civilian ownership. (Good luck) It is possible to define those guns in a clear and effective way and, yes, it would require Americans who own those kinds of weapons to give them up for the good of their fellow citizens.
