support an amendment that strengthens and modernizes the second amendment in a way that reduces gun violence.

Created by R.S. on January 23, 2013

Recognizing the need for improved gun control and the challenges of implementing those laws, please propose and support a simple new amendment that, without eliminating the second amendment, articulates the following three goals.
1) codifies the process of firearm sales and background checks, which could also include waiting periods.
2) codifies the appropriate storage and possession of firearms.
3) requires renewable safety and handling certification which includes mental health assessment in order to purchase ammunition.
These are reasonable precautions which presented within the framework of the constitution does not challenge the constitution. These changes would not revoke any existing rights while still implementing common sense solutions to keep guns out of the hands of irresponsibl
