So once the Second Amendment is repealed

[NowSam]

5. We should not repeal the 2nd Amendment

We should just focus on the part of it that says "Well Regulated". The amendment as written allows for regulation, it seems to me. Licensing of hand guns to those who are taught gun safety, and the handling of their weapon, take an oath to uphold the law, and such. Universal background checks should be done, etc.

There is also the issue of us vs them and that is part of the bigger issue. Other nations arm everyone and they are not going through this. Those nations really are "One nation, indivisible". Here we have a very divided nation - full of distrust and hate. There is still a horrible amount of racism and such as well.

Economic distress is truly a great cause of desperation for so many who are living pay check to paycheck or worse and are one mishap from disaster. Others are medicated out the wazoo in order to cope with the cognitive dissonance of living in such a dog eat dog society. People are desperate. They don't trust their neighbors, the media, the government, or anything. In a grossly greedy for profit society where the marketers are feeding the fears and seducing simultaneously the people - bombarding them with a zillion bytes of that per minute - where the doctors and pharmaceutical industry cares about $$$$$$ but not safety or efficacy, where the NRA, the Church and other lobbies manipulate and stir the pot of discontent - where the police are not held to any standard of civility - Its a powder keg right now and we need to come together with our neighbors. We need to see the cause of who is dividing the people and fermenting the hate. We need to be "We the People." No more us vs them. That's the only way to curb this.

We the people must hold our public servants' feet to the fire and hold them to the highest standards of accountability. Really we must say, "Enough is enough".
