Founding Fathers

 Would the Founding Fathers, in any way, believe their intent in the Second Amendment was what we see today? They modified ownership of guns right up front with the “militia clause.” Militias are groups with leaders and purpose, not individuals with personal agendas.

Things seem worse now than in the days of the Wild West, considering the power, precision and capacity of modern weapons. Our frequent mass killings only bring shame to us as a nation. We are even exporting these tragedies to other countries.

The current Republican party line is that this is really a mental health problem. Like many others, I have a mental illness and have experienced many panic attacks, but I’ve never thought of killing anyone. The gun is the precipitate. It’s where solving the problem starts.
