PEOPLE SIGN TO REPEAL SECOND AMENDMENT AND TO EXECUTE GUN OWNERS! - Video

Im all for American citizens having the right to own guns, but I have some thoughts about the Second Amendment and the ongoing discussion concerning the right to keep and bear arms.

Theres no way the Founding Fathers could have envisioned what features firearms would eventually have multi-round magazines, semi-automatic or fully automatic firing mechanisms and the potential dangers associated with those and other features.

Because of that, Id suggest we maintain the right to keep and bear arms but limit the possession of them to the ones that were in existence when the Second Amendment was written in 1791. That is, muzzle-loading, black-powder flintlocks.

In this way, we could keep the spirit of the amendment without the inherent dangers that have developed over the past 215 years or so as a result of technology. I predict that if this plan is implemented drive-by shootings will become rare or nonexistent and well stop wasting so much time and energy on the concealed carry debate.

Wed still have firearms to protect ourselves against home invasion and those who hunt could continue to do so. Of course, theyll have to get closer to their target.

I know some will say gun ownership by the citizens is necessary in the event we need to take back our country from Washington liberals, defeat jack-booted thugs, repel foreign invaders or deal with whatever imaginary threats are currently in vogue. Thats an effective merchandising argument for the firearm manufacturers, but the belief that its possible for a loosely organized assembly of well-intentioned, enthusiastic and minimally trained patriots (not a well-regulated militia) to repel an army of military or law enforcement professionals is delusional, and a little goofy to say the least.

Its time to tune up the Second Amendment.

Second Amendment and Assault Weapons - Video

CAPE CORAL, FL -

A debate over preserving the right to bear arms ended Monday night in the Cape Coral council chambers. The issue was brought forth and defeated last week when it was first presented to city leaders. This time leaders voted against reconsidering the resolution.

Last week, the majority of council felt the issue was more about bashing the current administration and less about defending the Second Amendment.

"Tonight is the night" said Cape Coral Councilmember Rana Erbrick. "We're going to see if public pressure has forced one of the six members who voted no to bring it forward for consideration."

The issue was a resolution reaffirming the city's stance on the Second Amendment. The controversial resolution was introduced during last week's council meeting by its youngest member, Richard Leon.

"I'm more concerned about the American people and the American citizens, and Cape Coral citizens," Leon said

Then the measure was voted down 6 to 2. Monday the vote was 5 to 3.

Councilmember Rick Williams was one member who voted against it last week.

"It's extremely partisan, it's extremely political and it's not something we should be tying up this in ordinate amount of time that we're tying up with right now," Williams said.

But Second Amendment supporters like Matthew Worley had hoped to change the council's mind Monday night.

Jan. 9, 2013: Connecticut Gov. Dannel P. Malloy delivers his State of the State address to the House and the Senate at the Capitol.AP

A federal judge upheld Connecticut's gun control law on Thursday, saying the sweeping measure is constitutional even as he acknowledged the Second Amendment rights of gun owners who sued to block it.

The law, which Gov. Dannel P. Malloy signed last April after months of negotiations in the legislature, was not entirely written "with the utmost clarity," U.S. District Judge Alfred Covello said in his 47-page decision. Still, several provisions are "not impermissibly vague in all of their applications and, therefore, the challenged portions of the legislation are not unconstitutionally vague."

Lawmakers, responding to the shooting massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School that killed 20 children and six educators on Dec. 14, 2012, banned the sale of large-capacity magazines and made more weapons illegal under the state's assault weapons ban.

"While the act burdens the plaintiffs' Second Amendment rights, it is substantially related to the important governmental interest of public safety and crime control," Covello ruled.

Brian Stapleton, the lawyer for a group of Connecticut organizations that support gun rights, pistol permit holders and gun sellers, said he will appeal.

"This is a disappointing decision, but not entirely surprising," he said. "This is a long way from over."

Stapleton said the ruling acknowledges the plaintiff's Second Amendment rights "before it guts them."
