require enrollment in the National Guard for owning an assault-type weapon per the "militia" in the 2nd Amendment.

Created by J.M. on January 22, 2013

As the 2nd Amendment states that gun ownership should not be infringed upon in order to maintain a well-regulated militia, ownership of an assault-type weapon (large capacity magazines and automatic or semi-automatic firing) should be allowed but ONLY if the buyer joins the U.S. militia: the National Guard.

As long as the owner is a member of the National Guard, they may be allowed to own one assault-type weapon. Upon withdrawal from the National Guard they forfeit the right to own an assault-type weapon. When called to active duty, the owner of the assault-type weapons must report for duty with their assault-type weapon.

This meets the requirement of the 2nd Amendment to not infringe upon gun ownership and, simultaneously, meets the prescription of maintaining a "well-regulated militia.
