One more reason for a national gun policy. No assault weapons of any kind, shape, form, semi, quasi, kinda, sorta, regardless of jargon or in-group terminology. Limit guns to six bullets, max. No external chambers allowed of any kind. Must need to be hand-loaded. No auto-load devices.
No concealed carry. No open carry. No guns, period, without licenses, confirmed training, insurance, and smart tech. None. Nada.
And all of that is fully Constitutional, given the wording of the Second Amendment, which refers solely to use within the context of militias — which no longer exist. The forgotten piece to all of that is the term “bear arms,” which refers solely to soldiers in a military situation or training. It did not refer to civilians, ever. Civilians don’t “bear arms,” unless they go to the beach and take off their shirt. Soldiers do.
Paul Auster’s Bloodbath Nation breaks all of that down, plus a ton more, in a very short, powerful book.
